We purchased the new DB11 to replace our old doorbell button that you see in the picture. We are concerned about the un-level stone we will have to install the DB11 on. Any ideas or recommendations on what would be the best way to get the doorbell cam installed? I have attached some pics of the...

Any ideas to have one cam get two spots? Would a PTZ Work best? Or maybe a turret on the corner fence? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a way to find out if your security cam system is secure? Any pointers on what to look for? I have Openvpn installed on my router which works well but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything before I start installing cameras inside the house.

How much will the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cost Andy?

Thank you! That worked!

Anyone know the quickest way to change the network info of my new Dahua cam. My 192.254 network doesn't see the camera (Default 192.168.1.108). I am using the dahua config tool on Windows 10. Do I need to revert my router back to 192.168........?

The one you listed is not POE. I recently purchased a BV Tech 8-port unmanaged POE switch. I have no complaints this far. This switch was recommended on the forum. BV-TECH 8 Port 120W 10/100Mbps Power over Ethernet Switch - Designed for IP Camera Use(Gray) Amazon.com: BV-TECH 8 Port 120W...

Are you happy with your 2.8mm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you sir! That resolved my problem. I was making the adjustments in the lan and wan boxes on the LOCAL BI and not the app. I made the adjustments on the app and now I can only access my LOCAL BI while on VPN or connected to my LAN.

Noob here......Im trying to configure BI and all seems to work just fine but I can't figure out why I CAN access my BI server with the iOS app using LTE cellular service and no VPN? I have VPN setup and as I was reading the only way to get the iOS BI app to work was to port forward my BI server...

As a noob, reading all the helpful information can become overwhelming at times. In regards to Blue Iris, would you consider this software a "One stop shop" for IP cameras? I have seen BI, Smart Pss, ONVIF, TinyCam Pro amongst several others. What is the preferred software to setup, maintain and...

Im looking for a cam to have a general view of the living room. I will use BI to monitor and record ongoing. I might have to re-think since you mention the night quality is poor on this model.

Im looking for a small cam for the living room area. The one you recommended looks great but Im sure the wife wouldnt approve of it. Where did you see a viewing angle of only 70 degrees? I might have missed that.

@zero-degrees Very good point! I have Phillip Hue lights on the porch running ifttt to come on and go off during sunrise and sunset. Sometimes for whatever reason the porch light doesn't come on and in this case the ability to have IR would be beneficial. The link you provided pointed to LTS...

Would you recommend installing the turret directly over that location maybe with a junction box? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What would be the best way to install a turret at the location shown on the pics? Should I pick a better location? The house was pre-wired and I was hoping I could take advantage of the location. The plate is about 4in x 2in. The plate is located about 6 1/2 feet high.

Anyone have any experience with the DH-IPC-K35A 3MP K Series PoE Network Camera? Im looking for a small indoor IP camera that will have a favorable WAF. I noticed this camera is fairly new so I wanted to reach out to the forum to see if anyone has one or even checked out the specs.

After purchasing the inspection camera, I was able to determine that there was a fire block in the way. Thanks for all the knowledge and responses.

There is pre-existing coax and cat5e cabling next to it in which the hole is not big enough for more cable so it should be ok as this is in the living room. I will try the longer bits! Thanks for the info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trying to run my first cable through the attic and down to the floor. I was able to drill about 4 inches through the wood but as I was fishing the cable through, about 12 inches,I hit something solid. Could it be more would or even drywall? If so, do I need an extra long drill bit? Sent from...

Wow thanks for all the helpful information. I have a lot of work to do and this will get me going in the right direction! Glad I joined the forum! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I appreciate the information. We currently have two vehicles. Im leaning towards the Dahua turrents for this portion of the house.

What would be the best location and camera for the driveway? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it recommended to put your IP cameras and PC/Nvr on a VLAN? If so, will I be able to remotely view the cameras with a VPN setup? Noob here trying to soak up all the info on this forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So what is the best way to prevent something like this from happening to me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
