Well that's simple. Thanks!

I've had Blue Iris running at my house for about a month and I'm really pleased with it so far. The one thing I don't like is there doesn't seem to be an easy way to view the cameras in multiple locations around the house all the time. The web interface works, if you only want the camera views...

Okay, we got it (almost) all straightened out. This hardware appears to do nothing consistently. Two cameras that had been plugged into the NVR that were plugged into the switch. Identical models. Both still showing up in device search with the 10.1.1.x IP they got from the NVR, which of course...

I may not have all the terminology right, but I do understand how it works. That model of camera has two cameras mounted to the same physical and electronic hardware, and both cameras share the same network connection (one RJ-45 jack, cable, IP address, etc.) But if you have 8 of those cameras...

I'm an idiot. I couldn't tell you why but I just assumed that was a link to the data sheet or manual for that camera. I should have looked closer, my apologies. I actually tried that earlier. I'm pretty sure the cameras physically plugged into the back of the NVR automatically re-added...

Yeah, I wasn't sure how much time I'd have to answer specific questions about this, so I just dumped all the info that I thought might be relevant. I do really appreciate you taking the time to read it and help me out. I looked after reading this and couldn't find anything under a search for...

Okay, going to try to limit the rambling here... no guarantees. The situation: two hotel installs using Dahua NVRs and cameras. This isn't gear I'm familiar with yet I'm somehow the "go to guy" everyone expects to know all the things and so on. Both locations are using the N52B5P NVR and then...

That's some good stuff, thanks. Reading through the stuff confirms some of what I knew to start and some I learned the annoying way. For example, that dome cameras outdoors are problematic with glare and "crud" on the dome creating glare - particularly when lit by the IR illuminators. I thought...

Somewhat related - the LaView app used to have a P2P thing for adding the NVR so it could be viewed from the internet (scanning the QR code). That section is missing from the current version, and adding a device with the QR code option doesn't work (it beeps like it scans the code, but says...

Looks like I missed that camera's checkbox. Thanks.

So you're correct, the cameras are Hikvision as well. The second password worked so I was able to get in and change the password back. That's getting added to my documentation now. Back online - Thanks for the help! (but now I don't have a really good excuse to get better hardware...)

I have been kind of looking at the Dahua IPC-HDW4631C-A, but there are so many models I have difficulty figuring out what the differences really are. One ongoing issue I have with the LV-PD50208's is water spots on the dome that make the night-vision basically useless. My guess is that the...

Forgot to mention: I also have a NAS on site with several terabytes of free space and the whole place is running 1GB LAN. The camera in question is an LV-PD50208 - no idea who actually makes it.

Okay, so I get home from an absolutely hellish week pulling cable at a hotel that's 100% hard-deck to find my #3 camera on the home surveillance system isn't working. It's there. It's powered on. I can hit the IP address and get the login, but it doesn't accept any password - not mine, and not...
