    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 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...

    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

    2 routers - 2 POE switches - 1 NVR?

    missing frames when streaming on gDMSS

    First let me preface this by saying im thoroughly impressed by the knowledge of this forum, and by the Dahua cameras and NVR I recently received from Andy. Unfortunately, I trashed the female connector on my 5231 while trying to hurry and install it before a storm. Undeterred, I sought to...

    HELP: Connecting an NVR to a wireless hotspot

    I've been research for weeks and am struggling to find a solution. Note, I am somewhat IT "challenged" and have little to no experience with routers, bridges, etc. I am provided, by my employer, an unlimited data Sprint hot spot. This is the only internet option for my rural house. I am in...

    Anyone use STP ethernet for IP Cams/NVRs?

    I know just enough to be dangerous and, well, I've got myself into a pickle here. I ran approximately 1000ft of Cat6 CMR STP in my new construction home and about 250ft of Cat5e CMR UTP. All ends go to a "technical room" and the other ends go to various other rooms and areas of the house where...

    NVR with IR control?

    Newbie here. I'm pre-wiring my new house with Cat6 and will be able to view my NVR from 4 different TVs (using a 1x4 HDMI converter). The way i'll be doing this *should* allow IR at each location. Are there NVR's (looking at Dahua) that allow control via IR? Or only via mouse?
