I’m still trying to figure all this out. Just wish there was a simple solution. I’m tempted to just port forward but I know everyone says not to. What would you say is the best pivpn (without WiFi) that won’t break the bank. Best place to buy as well. Amazon? Or would this be the way to go...

Forgot to mention that I run a dahua nvr and not blue iris. Not sure if that changes anything.

So I just switched from cable to frontier fiber optic now using the Eero Pro 6e mesh system. On my old setup I was using the Asus RT-AC1750 router which has the built in OpenVPN server. I want to keep using OpenVPN so I can keep my cameras offline from the internet and not port forward them...

The NVR is connected to the switch. Bottom switch, top row, all the way to the right.

Thank you for the replies. Good suggestion on moving the switch link to the uplink port on the 2nd switch. I know the pic can be kind of confusing. Did the best to label the ports

Attached is the picture of what I have setup. I am just wondering if this was the way you connect 2 switches together? And since we are here, does everything else look like its set up right? Wasn't exactly sure if they had to be in specific spots or not.

Hey guys looking for some help here. I have this camera set up and running on my bench for testing. Problem is I only have 1 of the camera feeds showing. Not sure how I get the other one to come up. In the NVR, I’ve been looking at the modify camera page but all I see is 1 channel and can’t...

Don’t know if this would still matter but I know my iPad shared the same IP address as the camera did. 192.168.1.108 I have since changed the ip of my iPad but nothing is different.

Took the camera down to bench test with a store bought cable and same thing happens. I suspect the camera is bad as I can’t even log into it. Am I out of luck? I imagine that in order to update the software I would need to log in first.

Thanks for the reply It’s a cable I made.. was working fine for a couple months.. I’ve made all the other ones I’ve used. The cable is connected to a switch to a dahua nvr

Trying to get my camera back online and performed a factory reset by applying power while holding the reset button inside the camera. It reset the ip to the standard 192.168.1.108 I try going to the address in IE to set the camera up but it won’t open or connect or anything. I verify that I...

I have not done a factory reset yet. I was hoping I could avoid having to open up the camera if possible. If I have to do the reset does anyone know for sure if there is a reset button? Can I simply plug the camera into the switch and then hold the reset button?

I’ve had this model installed and running fine for 2 months maybe but this week I noticed something weird. During the day the picture is washed out but not completely white. During night time when IR comes on the picture fades to black as the natural light decreases. IR lights on camera remain...

@looney2ns if you had to choose between the 2 would you recommend the one you just posted or this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MQHD54L/ref=psdcmw_281414_t1_B07BW8FNVW

How long have you been using your bv tech 16

Yeah space isn’t an issue. I see the point you make about having two if one fails.

My system currently has 7 cameras installed and running however I know I want to install more cameras sometime soon. My switch has all ports occupied so I would need to change switches. My dilemma is do I go for a 16 port switch or do I add a twin bv tech switch. I have linked below IPCamPower...

Thanks I got it!

I have already installed and changed 6 cameras but it has been a couple years since then. I know I haven’t used ipconfig tool to change them in the past. Can I simply go to 192.168.1.108 and go to the TCP/IP settings pages within the camera and change the up there to something else? I can’t...

Is your computer in that picture in the same network range as the NVR? If it’s not then that might explain why you can’t access your nvr when going to its IP address.

Reading thru this thread it does seem like a bad switch. I hope you can get this squared away. Where did you buy the switch? Amazon or directly from BV?

https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/16501 I searched for a thread but didn't find one. Is anyone using this particular camera? This might be what I'm looking for. If anyone has this installed can you take a picture of the camera install location. I'd like to see how you...

What kind of distance can you zoom to?

I don't know if I have a use for this particular camera (depends on the zoom really) but I look forward to seeing your videos.

I currently have this 8 port BV-Tech switchand I'm thinking about upgrading to the BV-Tech 18 port switchso I can add a couple more cameras. Does anyone use this switch? Do you recommend it?

I looked on Dahua’s site but didn’t find anything. I would be very interested in a 2mp star light dome ptz that has auto tracking, IR, and IP67. Low profile like the domes we all know.... the bigger ptz’s available are too big and noticeable for my particular use. Hopefully something...

Can you post a picture of it?

Mine came looking brand new. Sorry to hear yours looks that way. I’d get in contact with Andy. I know he’ll make it right.

Maybe I don’t understand enough. I spent part of the weekend googling “how to use a vpn” and the only thing people write about is how to set one up. When my phone is connected to the vpn is all of my traffic that I do then secure and encrypted automatically? Like when I use safari or any...

No I understand that. You still need internet access to connect to the vpn. I thought I read somewhere that you could use your home internet connection as well for safer browsing?
