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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I haven't been able to connect to my VPN today. I use the built in software on my Asus router.

I remember reading how to do this somewhere but searching hasn't led me to the location yet. I plan to use the 2x4 in a bucket and attach the camera to the post however I need instructions on how to view the camera feed on one of my laptops. Do I need to have an internet connection on my...

Has anyone used one of these before? I am thinking of moving one of my cameras and I would need a longer stretch of cable to reach the new location. Amazon.com: iMBAPrice RJ45 Coupler - (Pack of 5) Cat5e Ethernet Cable Extender Female to Female Straight Modular Inline Coupler: Electronics

Hey guys I have a question I need help with. I have the Dahua NVR5216 non POE with currently 3 POE cams installed (5231, 4231EM, 4231F). My cameras view perfectly fine with I view directly from the NVR to the monitor as well as perfectly fine when I view from my iphone and ipad using IDMSS...

I am using iDMSS on my iPhone/iPad to view my system and I was wondering what my (or anyone else's) kb/s should be. Right now for me, when I am viewing from home on wifi it ranges from 130-160 kb/s. I also get these numbers when viewing away from home on VPN however the numbers aren't as...

I'm sure it's simple but I haven't found the way yet and I hope you can help me. I have 1 camera already installed and working however I never changed this cameras IP (from the default 192.168.1.108) and I just installed my 2nd camera which uses the exact same IP. How do I go about changing...

I'm talking lightning storms in the area. Is a dedicated surge protector with your NVR and a dedicated surge protector with your POE Switch enough? Now a direct hit to the camera is a different story, obviously. How do you guys protect your system?

I have an Asus RT-AC1750 router with OpenVPN setup and haven't had any problems viewing remotely. However today I noticed that my feed is very sluggish/choppy. When viewing from my home wifi where my network is setup it's fine .. the camera runs at ~130 kb/s However when I view when away from...

I changed the password to my camera away from the admin default setting. Did so by going to the IP address of my camera in the internet browser. Tried updating the password for the camera in my NVR but now it doesn't show it's connected. I get the red dot symbol. I try modiying the password...

Ok first off I am a noob and I admit that my knowledge of this stuff is a bit over my head. My hope is that some of you will help guide me in the process of setting this up correctly because even after all the readings I just don't get "it." So I have an Asus router and I have managed to setup...

So I have my NVR 5216-4KS2 powered online and I am viewing the main menu.... I have my camera wired up to a poe switch... and that switch is connected to my router. Camera > Switch NVR > switch Switch > Router I don't know if I need to change the cameras IP address because when I try to device...

I have the dahua nvr5216-4ks2 and I have an 8 port Poe switch for my cameras. My main question is do I connect the NVR to the router directly and then the switch to the router directly? I've tried searching but that question still gets me. I wanna say that's how I do it but not 100% sure.

This is the non-Poe port version. For those who have and are using this model can you tell me how noisy this nvr is? What about the heat output? In pictures I don't see a fan on the back of the unit... is there a different fan in this model or none at all thus making this near silent?

So I am in the process of a new installation at my house. I will be adding 6 cameras to one side of my house and all cat5e cables will run up into the attic. Right now I am at a stalemate until I get some good advice on what to do. Do I run 6 separate cat5e cables up into my attic (about 100...

Ok so I am in the late planning stages of a IP camera system install for my house. I plan on (eventually) having 8 IP cameras installed around the outside of my house. After so much (exhausting/frustrating) research and reading I have settled on Hikvision for the brand I want to install. Here...
