    Odd problem with live view

    I recently noticed two of my cameras acting strange when it comes to viewing them. One camera will not show up on the live view on the computer interface (says live view failed) but shows up fine on the TV screen attached to the NVR. I can also view it, on my computer, under...

    How Do I Use A Dahua Camera With A Hikvision NVR?

    I am having the same exact issue and am having no luck at all. I started my own thread before I found this one and have posted as much information as I could come up with. If anyone has any ideas, i'd appreciate it...i've been screwing around with settings for three days now and got nowhere...

    Help viewing dahua ptz on hik nvr

    I gave in and set the default gateway to that of my NVR with no luck. I keep getting an error message, "the ip address and default gateway are not in the same network segment" @nayr can you weigh in please?

    Help viewing dahua ptz on hik nvr

    Sorry, first picture is the NVR settings. Second picture are the stock network settings on the new dahua ptz. The third picture are the network settings of an existing camera on the NVR. The fourth picture are the settings I tried on the dahua ptz which didn't work. I had that thought too but I...

    Help viewing dahua ptz on hik nvr

    Narrowing down the problem, when I try to change the IP address in the camera to match the ip that my nvr wants (192.168.180.11), it gives me an error because my default gateway is 192.168.1.1. The subnet is the same as well as the DNS servers (though I believe that is irrelevant). I changed the...

    What would you put where?

    I'm partial to LTS (hikvision) cameras but a lot of people on the forum will suggest the dahua starlight turret Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) I stick with LTS equipment as I have a distributor very close to me. Look around the forum for different posts regarding different...

    Remote viewing ddns

    @fenderman, I couldn't agree more with you. However, my "friend" is a point-and-shoot type of person. She is technologically retarded so I am making it as simple as possible. If I set-up a vpn for her, I would be getting a phone call once a day that it isn't working (because she wouldn't be able...

    Remote viewing ddns

    I just set up a small LTS system for a friend and am going to go the ddns/port forwarding route for remote viewing (I use a VPN so we can skip that part). When I went to set up the ddns portion of ivms-4500, the only option is HiDDNS which doesn't exist anymore; also, there are no options for...

    1 to 4 PoE Extender

    I have a total of 14 cameras but the way my house is constructed, there is a 1/2" conduit run from my basement to my garage. There is only enough room to run one cat6, one rg-6, and one 22/4 alarm wire. Also, my garage isn't yet insulated or finished so I don't want to run a powered POE switch...

    Here is some of the competition lol

    Its funny because I was that guy about 2 years ago. I do handy work on the side and a friends deli needed new cameras. I did my "research" and came across some 8 camera analog kit for $450 and thought it was the best thing ever. Then came across a website, security-camera-wearhouse.com which...

    1 to 4 PoE Extender

    I used this same unit to solve a similar issue in my garage. I could have added a power outlet and I could have added a poe switch, but this was so much easier and cheaper for what I needed to accomplish. It was been running strong for 3 weeks now with no issues at all.

    Just looked at their lovely website. It is all analog...I dont get it. Any they can install a system as large as 16 cameras!!!! From their about section... "WebWatchdogs was established in South Florida and expanded into Central and North Florida in 2006. Over the years, WebWatchdogs has...

    Analysis paralysis: low voltage cables through drywall

    Thanks. I considered two 90 elbows but wanted the cleaner installation and the 45 degree elbows would make wire-pulling easier. I used 1.25" conduit; didn't really know any specs for strapping spacing but the conduit is pretty solid to the house. Also, I looked at your attached article: it looks...

    Siren Or Flash Instllation

    You'll have to be a bit more specific but assuming it's an externally powered siren, you'll need a relay attached to the alarm output to switch the siren on. You can't power the siren directly from the NVR and you'll likely have to use an external relay to switch the power. Sent from my Pixel...

    Analysis paralysis: low voltage cables through drywall

    I'll post a picture of the side of my house when I get home but I had to run multiple wires from my attic to my basement and used 1.25" sch40 conduit down the side of my house with two 45 degree elbows and a 90 degree box at the point where the conduit meets the wall.

    Unfortunately yes. No internet means no envisilink. On a side note, my router and modem are on an UPS and if I lose AC power to my alarm panel, I'll get a trouble notification giving me a heads up that I have a power loss. Also, though the web interface is open to the Internet, a user code is...

    Getting back to licensing...I just looked through NJ's 40 something page document lumping CCTV systems in with burglary/fire systems. The requirements to even be employed by one of these companies (to get experience so that you could get your own license) requires 3 years experience. I guess the...

    I hate living in new jermany. And what are these gun rights you speak of? To legally own a bb gun in NJ, it takes the same process for purchasing an AR-15. I never wrote receipts. Whenever I installed systems, I was very upfront that I wasn't a professional and the equipment that I was...

    Wow, that's pretty intense. Only NJ would require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering to install cameras. Where did you find that cameras fall under that provision? Also, a BIG part of me installing cameras is telling the individual, again usually friends, that I dont professionally...

    Hah I hear you there. I looked into it as well. The license wasn't much of an issue as paying for insurance which I believe you need to get the license. For me to do the jobs professionally, I'd have to quit my full-time job so I could do the installs quickly and not just in my spare time. If...
