Which SSH client are you using? Putty (for windows) makes SSH access into my router and switches easy. It takes a minute or 5 to get the setup right and there's plenty of online help to get you through setup but once the setup is done, it's cake. The important thing is SSH access is secure. No...

I gen'd a key & enabled SSH through the web gui. You should be able to use SSH by generating a key via the CLI and enabling access. See your manual for assistance. There is a crib in the Hardening Procurve Switches pdf document, but I'm not sure that command structure is applicable for all...

I'm not sure if it is as loud as a DVR, I never used one. It is loud enough to hear it in the same room. I haven't replaced the fan yet. My primary switch (HP2530 POE+) is running great so I keep it for a backup. You can skip the web interface and access via SSH or TELNET. There's a CLI menu...

Your R7000 will do VLAN isolation if you flash it with a custom firmware. I do so with TomatoUSB by Shibby firmware which gives me enterprise-like capabilities. I've been using it for about 5-6 yrs now and love it. Good info -Tomato Firmware forum. How to -> Build Secure VLAN Networks with...

How long does a silica packet last before it's saturated? I know there are some silica products that change color with moisture content. I'd like to stay on top of the maintenance curve.

Do the Event Viewer logs show anything?

A couple of months ago I got a great deal off ebay on one as a backup PoE. For browser access I use an older FirefoxPortableESR version 24 that is LAN constrained via firewall. Browser access requires JAVA so I grabbed the 32bit JRE JPortable (64 bit reported to not play well). CLI access via...

Another consideration in your system design is storage available for the 20/20 hindsight views. 4mp will use storage media twice as fast over a 2mp cam. While storage media is getting cheaper all the time, it aggregates quickly. The 2mp cam is what I consider the best of all options available...

The show stopper for me was when one of my working camera video feeds quit working within E+. It worked and then it didn't work. Browser & VLC interface showed functioning cam. Another pain is glacial performance which I could live with but is no joy. Running on a Win 2012 Server with 4 core / 8...

I initially installed Essential+ 2017 R2. It appeared more ambitious than Esssential 2017 R1 in features but less operational (bugs) so I rolled back. I'll give the new device pack a try. Thanks.

I want to record Dahua cams substream 2 @ 720p onto server full time but Essential only shows me substream 1. Is substream 2 possible with Essential 2017 R1?

Nayr's 1st page firmware link is a convenient firmware source. The product page firmware download is the same file as shown by hash counts. Not taking anything away form nayr's attention to detail but I would hope the product page's firmware is always current.

Anything is possible. Weapons were open carry. According to this news story the neighbors waited for home owner to arrive, gave him a weapon and he is the first person to enter and confront the bad guy. So everybody should have been within their rights except the intruder, I gaffed on hubby...

The reporter said the neighbors were military trained so she probably knew her husband had his trigger finger on the pistol frame and would not have moved in front of a piece wielded by an unknown handler. She did secure the piece of shit posthaste plus carried the most weight putting the...

Burglar wearing stolen clothing from a prior home invasion is caught. I''d have shot him. Local TV report “He truly said, ‘I’m not trying to steal anything, I just want to be friends,'” neighbor said.

Thank you nayr for putting this together. It represents a lot of time and work and I can't thank you enough. I'm sure it has saved me and many others time and money with your reviews that most definitely keep it real.

There is a firmware version for each found on the firmware download page and welcome aboard. IPC-HDW5231R-Z | Dahua Technology

I did see max power load on camera's first boot, haven't seen it since. I use a Hewlett Packard PoE managed switch which is built like a tank with a lifetime warranty and lots of bells and whistles for the gotta be in control geek in me.

The active cam power use is dynamic by function including variables such as boot, zoom, focus, SD card, IR... etc. The only time I witnessed max power use was during the cameras first boot. The following are a couple of power reading snapshots. They vary by hundreds of milliwatts during normal...

Do you have fluorescent lighting anywhere near the non-working cable routing? Cause may be signal noise or weak cam NIC drivers. I'd try cat6 cable.

Recording IVS events to µSD on 2 different cams sans NVR with no problems here. Do you have a Storage -> Schedule -> Record Schedule tab setup?

It does have a fan which is fairly loud. If I put it into full time service I'll look into a quieter fan replacement. For the most part the switch is plug and play to get you started. The managed capabilities provide enterprise tools that put you in charge. Some of it's features are: 15.4...

I just picked up a HP 2600-PWR managed switch for a backup. The price is right and HP is built like a tank. I use an older version of FirefoxPortable ESR and JPortable (32bit JRE) to manage it. Got mine for $25 delivered.

How to check if your VPN is leaking private data How to See if Your VPN is leaking your IP address (and how to stop it) VPN makes my head hurt.

Found this forum researching my IP camera project. Tons of info, characters everywhere and I'm grateful for all. I discovered that I'm short on my budget but would have spent far more buying crap. My plan is mine and I'll start small with 2 cameras and build it up. I want the best and can't wait...

Hi Andy, I am interested in an IPC-HDBW4231F-AS and IPC-HDW5231R-Z. Thanks.
