    Similar porch, same camera w/ a 2.8mm lens, just installed yesterday. Only default settings and my date/time is 12 hours off so this was 11pm.

    Dahua 4mp DOME camera: resource is limited open video failed

    I have the same cam and am having some weird network issues with it. It worked great indoors for a few weeks. I've unplugged it several times and sometimes it will work ok (but then die off) other times it won't even make it that far. *sigh*

    Thanks for your input and answers! My cameras are all set up around the house and everything seems to be doing as expected except for one of my cameras doesn't like to stay functional. It seems like it will work for a period of time and then just drop out!? It worked fine when I got it, until I...

    PoE Question

    Good evening, This is probably a stupid question but I want to make sure I get everything clear because creating my build thus far has been quite a project. I see some cameras require either electric/voltage or PoE.. is there ever a time where they would need both? I am guessing the option for...

    Cable question

    I'm looking to wire up outside & inside cameras just on the outside of the house. What cable would be best for that? There shouldn't be a lot of sun on the cable because we have big trees overhead and get a lot of shade. The wiring will be through the house and in the attic and possibly a small...
