    How do you Adjust the Dahua IPC-T5442T-ZE angle?

    I have a Dahua IPC-T5442T-ZE that I installed a while back and now I need to slightly adjust the angle. The manual gives no clue about this other than to show a picture. Just guessing it was involved, I have loosened the small star screw in the center just under the top ring but nothing will...

    How would you handle "out of town" Police communication?

    I know several here have home security cameras specifically because they RV and are away from home for long periods of time. That is my case as well. I am thinking that the time to figure out exactly what to do is not when something happens. I am not in a City. I called my county Sherriff's...

    When you are going through a lot of motion detected segments, it would be helpful to skip to the next one or return to the start of the one you are on. Does anyone know why these functions are inactive? thanks very much, fred

    Anyone having issues with electromagnetic interference (EMI)?

    I have not purchased the system or started install yet, but wanted to know if this type of install could be a problem. This would be a 400'+ run, likely a Dahua ePoE NVR with the Dahua N45EF63 4MP ePoE Outdoor Bullet IP Security Camera with Night Color Technology. One time I talked with the...

    Can the Dahua NVR HDMI port be used for monitoring 1 camera?

    I have not bought a new NVR yet but leaning toward a Dahua Pro Series type unit with internal ePoE which I need for a distance situation. The NVR would not generally be accessible without using a screw gun. I have 3 areas in the house that are within HDMI range of the NVR location where I...

    Picture of Planned Home Network

    Thanks for all the advice you have given so far. I have the UDM installed now and have started becoming familiar with setting up things. I don't have the new NVR system, DDNS or VPN at this time. Since I am new to this level of networking I wanted to show the plan to see if you had any...

    DVR static IP Address

    Thanks to all your advice I now have changed my router to a Unifi UDM-US. I'm setting up VLANs and about to switch my current DVR from 192.168.1.* to 192.168.3.. I took a look at the network setup for the DVR and it is set to a static IP. Perhaps this is a remnant of the port forwarding that...

    Are the IR illuminators on an IR camera visible at night?

    I have not yet owned an IR capable camera. My main concern is not night vision. When someone is looking right at an otherwise hidden IR camera at night, do they see the IR illuminators? I know IR is techically not visible light, but not sure how it is implemented. I see the Dahua N45EF63...

    Need Suggestions for Redesign of Home Network

    What new equipment and configuration would you suggest to provide risk isolation to my home network below? I still have a DVR now but want to buy the NVR and IP cameras. I thought I should redesign the network before getting the new NVR. Also, I do not have VPN setup, this is just the plan...

    Some questions after reading Cliff Notes

    Hi, I am new here. Currently, my home has a non-IP DVR with only two cameras. I want to go to an 8 channel NVR PoE and start with 4 new IP cameras. For remote access I plan to setup VPN on my Asus RT-AC68U and put a VPN client on my laptop that I RV travel with. I want to use a different...
