    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Thank you. I was thinking I would have to add something to assign DHCP to the other cameras. Not sure why I didn't think of just assigning static IP's. Simple enough solution. Also, thank you for the reminder on the total channels. I should be good since we're looking at 4-6 total.

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Hello, I have another question on the NVR8CH-8P-2AI. I know it can hand out DHCP on the built-in POE ports. Can it also hand out DHCP via its regular Ethernet port or can I attach a switch to one of the POE ports and have multiple cameras get DHCP that are located at the other island...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    fair enough, really appreciate how much everyone is willing to help on this site. I'm in FL where the tags are only on the back. Currently I'm looking at the Dahua NVR-5-EI and 5241-Z12E cameras so I certainly have IR capability. I figure I'll have to try different options to get the best...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    My hope is that they have to stop/slow drastically for the exit to go around the island and then the stop sign. If we mount the camera on the info sign then we would be close to the curb, 5-10' high and a range of 20-60'. I was thinking that avoiding IR would be best so the tag doesn't get...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    @TonyR and everyone else... thank you all again for the nudge. I borrowed a couple of Mimosa C5x from work (approx $100/ea on Amazon). Even though I am not planning to push my video across the Internet, I attached to my home network so I could use Speedtest.org. I taped 1 of them to a window...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    yep, understand. I took some typing shortcuts in that. I meant wireless links. I'll borrow some equipment from work and see if I can reach from my house. It isn't a huge distance but there are houses and trees in the way.

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    I would love to do something like that however there is no office. Our HOA staff are completely volunteer. One thought was to parasite off the closest neighbor's wifi (with permission) but that is obviously subject to change. I considered some kind of wifi extenders to get the signals to my...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Hello, looking for advice on a solution for my HOA. We have 2 entrances, both with islands. We are wanting to mount cameras to catch cars entering/exiting as a way of helping identify "candidates" for the police to investigate when needed. We don't have a lot of crime but there have been some...

    dahua, how do you change camera order on live view??

    Excellent info. I have a different model NVR (Dahua N41B2P2) but was able to move my streams around. Don't see a way to move the splits but not a huge deal. Would also be nice to be able to set the sequence on different screens but also not a big deal.
