    Need assistance with network throughput

    Hi all, Thank you all for the help! I think I figured out the issue - and it looks like one of my own doing. I tried several fixes applied above with, unfortunately, no change. The key to fixing this, for me, was suggested by @alastairstevenson. When I tried connecting directly to the cameras...

    Need assistance with network throughput

    Thanks for the additional questions. 1) The poor quality has existed since I installed the cameras. Even when I had the Reolink cameras using their NVR, I noticed issues with playback and viewing. I just didn't have the time or resources to look into it at that time. 2) Hardwired and to my...

    Excellent ideas - I really appreciate it. I'll have some free time this weekend. I'll try troubleshooting the lines and use iPerf to see. I'll report back what I find.

    Need assistance with network throughput

    Yes, I'm using the same drives in my NAS to store my containers. As I think about this, though, I was running these cameras with the same choppy video issues before I installed our Minecraft servers (a week ago). I've seen a lot of comments re: Blue Iris and it looks like a great option. I was...

    Recommendations for camera to capture license plates

    Wow, those are excellent captures. I think I'll check out Dahua as well. I'm interested in the box that you're building. Do you have any need to hide the cameras so that no one will tamper with them? I was thinking about adding a box with a one way mirror film so it's less obvious. In my...

    Recommendations for camera to capture license plates

    This is essentially what I'm trying to accomplish. I know that I won't capture every license plate, but maybe I would have captured my would be robbers unmasked faces. How high was your camera mounted? Since I'm looking to install below chest height (the camera would be mounted at ~ 4ft), I'm...

    Recommendations for camera to capture license plates

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum and have seen a lot of great information on this site. I'm hoping that someone could provide recommendations on a custom setup for my situation. My current setup: We remodeled our house a couple years ago. At that time, we ran cat 6 cables and added Reolink POE...
