    Trying to find these interlogix cameras on my network

    I was gifted 6 of these interlogix ip cameras. When I plug them into my network I cannot find them looking at my router, or using my dahua config tool. Fairly certain they work, as the IR works. Do I need a different config tool? Furthermore, password is unknown so that will be another...

    Recommendation for small interior camera (baby monitor)

    I purchased both the 2mp and 4mp models and received them both today. I connected them both via wifi with the amcrest app and can view them via that app. I can also find them with the dahua ipconfig tool and can access them with the webui. They are sucessfully initialized, however, I still...

    Recommendation for small interior camera (baby monitor)

    Excellent! Just ordered the camera, thanks for your help. I didnt even realize I could do wifi cameras on my NVR (dont roll your eyes at me lol). I'll try that route first.

    Recommendation for small interior camera (baby monitor)

    Apparently my search skills arent up to par since I didnt find any threads lol I'm not familiar with running non dahua ip cams on my nvr but i know its possible. Price point on that amcrest is certainly good

    Recommendation for small interior camera (baby monitor)

    I have a 16ch Dahua NVR and looking for a small Dahua POE camera that would work as a "baby monitor." I had one about 5 years ago but I've misplaced it and don't remember the model number (probably discontinued anyway). Also planning to purchase a Fire Tablet with GDMSS for monitoring unless...

    How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

    So whats the current solution for being able to login into Dahua cams web UI. I've tried internet explorer, edge in IE mode, chrome, and the NACL plug in and I cannot access my cameras to enable IVS rules. Let me rephrase. I can log IN- but after that everything is so messed up I cant really...

    Blurry Camera

    I recently moved one of my Dahua Turrets and the image is extremely blurry- unusable. I took the torrent cover off and it's still blurry. And thoughts know what could be the issue? I'm assuming I damaged an internal wire or something when I moved it

    A few years old. Purchased from Andy. Comes with the box, cables, mouse. No HDD. Probably needs a firmware update. Works perfectly. Only selling because I purchased a 16 ch model. $150 shipped.

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    Ive found 2 gigabit POE switches that are in my budget. The first one is a 16 ch with 2 uplink, and the 2nd is simply marked 8 ch and doesnt specify an uplink. (i'm not even sure what that means). Is this how I hook it up? Router 1 - 16ch Uplink 1 16ch Uplink 2 - NVR 16ch POE port 1 -...

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    I tried running DMSS on my laptop - but it seems to time out eventually or something - i'd check on it the next day and have to reload everything. I didnt realize there is a way to get the app on Fire Stick. I have one on every TV so that would be great.

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    I bought a 500 foot spool of Cat 6 and trenched in 220 feet of it. I swear, within 10 minutes of backfilling it I thought to myself "why didnt I bury a 2nd line? I have plenty!"

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    One other question: Is there a reliable way to stream my cameras 24/7 in my network? Currently I just have one monitor hooked up to HDMI, but i'd like to have a monitor setup in my barn as well. I tried running a wireless HDMI splitter, but the signal wont penetrate the barn.

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    Thats an idea. I'm no network engineer, but I dont see why that wouldn't work. And I run a small excavating company, so the trenching is the easy part for me! Hah!

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    Thanks to both of you. Its definitely a lower end router, I haven't looked at its functionality because, initially, it was supposed to just provide Wifi to 2 devices. Now, thats changed. Good news is, I havnet heard anyone say "that diagram wont work." Just may need to do some tweaking on...

    Mike - thanks. I do need a 2nd router to give Wifi access to my phone and TV. This metal barn wont let any signals in.

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    I know just enough to be dangerous here, so i've put together a diagram of my current network and proposed network. I've recently acquired a barn 220 feet from my house (where my network and cameras are) I trenched Cat6 to the metal barn and setup a 2nd router. No issues there. But now I...

    License plate detection - 200 feet away - PTZ?

    My new Z12 is doing well for license detection. A few issues; It appears the max frame rate is 25 FPS. This doesnt appear to be enough for faster moving vehicles. Any way to alter or improve this? Also, with my shutter speed reduced to 1/30000 my IVS doesnt trip at night anymore. Should I...

    Yes, it appears to be enabled under smart plan. See attached. I feel like the recording part of this might be screwy, I cant seem to be able to modify this screen. Also see attached.

    Impressed with this camera; however i've discovered, as some have reported, that I cannot get this cam to focus at anything near max zoom. Do we have a fix for this?

    License plate detection - 200 feet away - PTZ?

    Excellent advise from everyone here! Last question for now, before I buy - A Z5 or Z12 isnt going to have a problem running off 200 feet of Cat6? Edit: I just realized, I need 200 feet from my house - TO the site I want to put a camera. Theres an additional ~50 feet that goes through my...

    License plate detection - 200 feet away - PTZ?

    2 votes for option 1. I'd estimate license plates will be about 30-40 feet away from where I can mount the camera. Which camera would you suggest? I plan to force daytime (cant remember if thats correct terminology) mode at night, since there is a street light.

    Dahua NVR not sending emails with new internet connection

    I have my Dahua NVR setup to send emails via gmail upon motion. Has been working flawlessly for the last year or two. I recently changed service providers, who provided a new router. After switching, the emails no longer come through. However, I am still able to access my NVR remotely via...
