    POE wired Doorbell - what is the best one?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a POE doorbell that will automatically sync and hook into my NVR via ethernet. I'm not looking for a huge discussion but wondering what is the best one out there. The camera I have was so quick and easy, I plugged it into the back of my NVR and "boom" showed up...

    Choosing Door bell camera

    EUFY has some good ones and the S330 is maybe a year or so old so it might be on a good sale now. It has built in local storage (not to an NVR) but definitely have a look at those. Hopefully this helps

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Can anyone chime in? I was under the impression you didn't need to enable P2P to be able to get alerts on your phone, I thought you could leave P2P disabled and use a VPN?

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Yeah, I know plugging them in directly (POE in NVR) and just using a monitor will keep everything off the Internet. But I want to be able to see the cameras and alerts from the NVR to my phone. That's why I was asking if anyone has a good VPN video tutorial

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Okay, I thought maybe it was possible to forward everything through a cloud and then use your phone to attach keeping it off your home network. I know their would be a delay but wasn't sure if that was possible. Okay, so it's either VPN off your router or P2P for the DMSS app. Is there a good...

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    I understand the risks if your NVR is on your 192.168 network but if your NVR isn't on your network and on a 1.1.1.8 internal network, it's not possible to gain access to your LAN. It's completely separate and not attached in anyway. The only risk I think would be your phone that might be...

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Good morning everyone, I have watched a few Youtube videos as well read online and I am very conflicted if I should use P2P vs. a VPN from my router (looks a lot harder to setup). What is everyone's thoughts on this? I would like to get notifications on my phone through DMSS, is this...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Not recording every second

    Hi @wittaj I captured a few screen shots from both GUI and NVR settings (below). I'm not sure if this is configured correctly, is there something I need to change so it's not leaving that 2-3 second gap in continuously recording.

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Not recording every second

    Thanks for the quick reply, not sure about MD and IVS being on at the same time, I will go in this afternoon to make sure they are not. I am using an NVR model NVR8CH-8P-2AI. Thanks for your assistance

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Not recording every second

    Has anyone ran into an issue when the camera doesn't record every second. Sometimes my camera will jump 2 or 3 seconds and doesn't record continuously. So when a vehicle is driving down the road it will pick it up about 3 houses away and then won't pick it up until after it's passed. Does...

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    Hello, yeah that's how I am doing it. On the ASUS 68U you have to export a file (attached picture) and then email it to my phone and then import it into OPEN VPN

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    Tried with 2 phone (even turned off mobile data and was only on wifi) I don't think you can get to an ASUS router 68U through a phone. It doesn't have an app like the newer routers.

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    Thanks for responding @camarolt1guy. In your reply you stated to use wifi to log into my router through my phone. I'm thinking you mean open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1 and log in with my phone? Both of the tutorials mention to email the .ovpn file to my phone and open the file with OPEN...

    Asus Router 68U OpenVPN Setup issues :/

    Interesting. Thanks for letting me know, I am trying with Apple but I'm thinking Merlin won't be my answer. Did you purchase a new router and did you get it to work?
