    What if I need another hardwired port?

    I am going to get the TP-Link TL-SG108E switch. Will my Asus router's web UI still list all of the connected devices that are connected through the switch? Or will I have to see TP Link's UI to see those connected devices?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Can you get a new router? I ended up doing so, recently, in July. Because I wanted a router which supported VPN. I don't see any difference when I'm connected to my home network. Nothing changed. Only now, I can log into my router remotely through the VPN.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I looked this morning, and all I was seeing was Gdmss Lite. Almost every result through the first 2 pages of searching. It didn't make sense for me to see a Lite without seeing any other version, and I wasn't finding another version. So after a few minutes of searching and not finding...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I am not sure, but I think if you have a new router, then you'll need a new profile. That's my guess.

    Is there only a "Gdmss Lite", or is there a non-lite version too?

    Dahua 5231R-ZE Recording Rule Profiles.

    Ok. I remember one of the installers from last year, who did an onsite visit, telling me that it could recognize faces. He gave the example of say a package delivery carrier had come by a few times and dropped packages off at the door. If, at a later date, it saw that face was now in the...

    Dahua 5231R-ZE Recording Rule Profiles.

    Is it possible to set a recording rule where if it sees my face, then don't record? What about if it sees my face and it's between a certain time range, then don't record?

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Thanks. I unplugged it for a minute. It estimated between 135 - 149 mins (it kept going to different numbers within that range). As soon as I plugged it back in, it said 146 minutes. I also just found this, which says that for loads less than 10%, it doesn't do a good job estimating. My...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    I've plugged in: Router, modem, landline phone, and Tivo. This takes 36 - 39 Watts. I couldn't plug in the Ooma because the shape of the plug blocks too many outlets. So that's in my old surge protector for now. This seems pretty good, pre-NVR. I have 2 empty battery backed outlets, which...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    I just plugged in my APC. I think it needs 16 hours to charge, even though it says the runtime with 0 load is 179 mins. So I will check back Saturday evening, and start plugging in stuff then.

    Any preferred source for UPS for BI PC/PoE Switch?

    Thank you!

    So you mean from the wall, to the COAX IN of the UPS, right?

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Thanks again for your prompt responses. Now I remember another reason why I asked this question. Right now, I have a coaxial cable coming from the wall, into a splitter. One out port on the splitter goes to the cable modem, and the other out port goes to the Tivo. Should I do this instead...

    Any preferred source for UPS for BI PC/PoE Switch?

    Thanks for the test. How many watts of load did the unit say you had? What were all of the devices you had connected (in case there was more than your PC and PoE)? How much runtime did the estimate say before you unplugged the UPS?

    Looking for a camera security system.

    I called APC and asked about the difference between the BR1500MS, and the BN1500M2. The BR1500MS has a pure sine wave, and the BN1500M2 (in stock at Costco.com) has a simulated sine wave. Both also have 6 battery backed outlets, as compared to the BX1500M that is on backorder, which has 5 such...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    I randomly checked Costco.com today, and I found out they have a similar APC model, the BN1500M2, for $150 pre-tax! However, in looking at the specs of the new BR1500MS, and the BN1500M2, I don't see a difference, except for runtime. The runtime of the BN1500M2 looks a little worse than the...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    I called APC to ask them why it was so hard to find the APC BX1500M all of a sudden. After doing some research, they said that model is being phased out. The new model is BR1500MS. That's in stock on B&H Photo Video and Amazon, but $193. If the already ordered BX1500M never gets in stock...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    The price of the APC BX1500M went up by $5 on BH Photo Video, Amazon.com, and NewEgg today. I wonder why. Usually the prices of things decrease over time. Unless they are discontinued products that were great for its time.

    Looking for a camera security system.

    The thought also crossed my mind yesterday, that what if I hate the motion blur on the new TV so much, that I want to return it? I'd have to have the handyman remove it from the wall mount; pay for return shipping; look for a new TV and make sure I can get a live demo of sports to test motion...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    B&H shipped everything that was available, right away. Thanks for the suggestion. I kind of want everything pre-set up as much as possible. So I have less things to finish setting up, even if it's just the APC UPS, after the install. I'm hoping after the install, I'll have minimal work left...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    So I had placed an order for all remaining parts (hard drive, APC UPS, etc.) on July 29th. At the time, it said the APC was backordered on BH Photo Video, but it would be available in 7 - 14 days. I've been checking every day. I checked today, and it said October 3rd. I called and asked if...

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    Thanks. Is it ok to keep that 2nd one upright? Or would it not be good, because it would block the air vents?

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    I had one of those that I was renting until recently. I replaced it with a TP Link cable modem and the Asus AC2900 router. I don't need another port right now, but I was thinking there could be a case in the future where I could.

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    One more question. What are the differences or pros/cons between these two TP Link switches? https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-SG1005D-Unmanaged-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B001EVGIYG/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532819683&sr=1-4&keywords=tp%2Blink%2Bunmanaged%2Bswitch&th=1...

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    Thanks. For the devices in the switch that are connected to the router, would I still be able to use the Asus router software to manage them if I needed to? And what's the difference between something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BCC0LO/ref=psdc_281414_t2_B01EN3Z2NE And this...

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    I just bought a new router a few weeks ago, the ASUS AC2900, to set up a VPN. Currently I have 3 ports in use (Ooma Telo; PC; Tivo DVR). The NVR for the cameras will use the 4th port. What if I needed another hardwired port? What device should I get to add to the network, that would also be...

    Power cord for Dahua NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR.

    I'm in the US. I meant that the cable supplied with the NVR has only 2 prongs, instead of 3, at the part where it plugs into the wall. But the part where it connects to the NVR needs 3 prongs. Yeah, after looking at that adapter you posted, I don't think I'd like that either. So something...

    Power cord for Dahua NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR.

    @EMPIRETECANDY I want a longer power cord so it can reach my interrupted power supply. The power cord has 3 female prongs at the end that it plugs into the NVR, and 2 prongs where it plugs into the wall. What's a replacement power cord that's at least 6 feet long that I can get? Can someone...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Yeah, I've been posting on those forums for years. Thanks for sharing your experience. I have kmttg too, I just haven't tried it when on a remote PC. I guess the next time I have time and will be remote, I'll have to be prepared to try a few ways, from the links above. I don't have an iOS...
