Thank you - I did a remote reboot of the BI server and everything is back to normal. Appreciate the tip.

I noticed this morning that when I open the URL to view my cameras I can only view one at a time. Worked fine yesterday. Got a message stating "Webcasting may not be enabled for some of your camera groups" Does anyone know how to get all my cameras back onto one screen? I run Blue Iris on it's...

This high MP really should be in a 2/3" size minimum for low light, and 1/1.8" minimum for daylight but I guess we'll see. Maybe technology is advancing quickly enough where tiny sensors care more capable than older and larger sensors.

With that size sensor and 8MP I am assuming the low light performance will be sub par. I would love to be proven wrong. I'll wait to see the reviews. For now the 5442 is my camera of choice and is replacing my 2MP 5231's where I don't need the varifocal

Okay good to know. Thank you. I get green lights on all three pairs so I know there is a connection. There must be something set up incorrectly with the MikroTik switches that is throttling download speeds so much.

Does anyone know if there is a specif color grouping / pairing for the six single mode fiber strands when run in duplex mode? Or can they be matched / grouped in whatever way? I currently paired the six strands as such: green / blue orange / white grey / brown I ran an underground fiber line...

I have four 5231's and I had just ordered another 5231 to use on my office build out -- but then started to read the review(s) of the 5442. So I waited to unbox the 5231 and ordered one 5442 2.8mm. Wow. Easily as good or better low light than the 5231. So I am sending the unopened 5231 back...

Interesting................................... I have four EmpireTech IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IP cameras and I generally love the low light performance but I was hoping for a bump in clarity the 4MP Hikvision seemed to resolve. It appears the Dahua 5442TM you linked to has the same 1/1.8" sensor...

I won't be able to purchase for about 45 minutes. Hopefully it will still be in stock.

Thank you! I'll order one today and test it out on the Dahua bracket and report back.

Is the 14 day shipping to U.S. accurate? Was just about to order another IPC-HDW5231R-ZE this morning but saw this and I am intrigued enough to pick one up. Also, will this camera work with EmpireTech PFA130-E Water-Proof Junction Box Bracket? I have a couple hanging around and I'd like to use...

Update on office build. Floor is installed and all cables are punched through the floor and the floor openings are sealed with closed-cell foam. Wall / window frames are up and mostly set. Windows came in today. I'll be working on terminating the Cat 6 lines once the outside wall is up and...

Super cool! Nice deal. I can't wait to get my office finished so I can start using my fiber line. LMK how it goes and take a picture and post it please!

Honestly not sure if there is a difference between POE and POE+. Still doing research and still not an expert.

I am currently using three TP-LINK TL-SG108PE 8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch with 4-Port PoE in my house network. Attached are pics of my setup. I also utilize a UniFi system and Key for easy monitoring. To answer your question(s): 1. The 8 port switch does not need a 9th port. You basically...

Thanks! I am elated and relieved to say the least!

Well, I tested out the switches and I used a single mode duplex cable and the light on the side lit up. Then after establishing a baseline that the switches function, I connected the six strand single mode simplex cable to the switch and no light. Is there a certain order the colored cables have...

Ordered all the parts on my list. I should have it by Thursday 8/15/19. I am guessing that there will be some kind of light indicator to show if the fiber wires are making a connection. Edit: looks like the switch has a set of lights on the side of the box / panel to show if the connections are...

Okay - I've done more research and this is what I believe I've settled on: Office switch: $136.00 (1ct) MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+in Switch 1x Gigabit Ethernet Port and 4X SFP+ 10Gbps Ports, RouterOS or SwOS Main switch: $249.00 (1ct) MikroTik 9-Port Desktop Switch, 1 Gigabit Ethernet Port, 8 SFP+...

I'm curious - if I want to go the "cheap" route and go duplex, can I order two of those LC 1310nm SFP+ Transceivers you linked - one for each end or do I need to use the ones from FS.com? The one from FS.com has both a 1310nm & 850nm. I read the "SR" (short range) SFP+ module is 850nm and...

Thank you for the links. I appreciate the detailed information, now I totally understand the SFP and the thought process behind it. It actually makes sense and allows for compatibility for all different types of fiber technologies. That's really comforting in the event the LC cables I went with...

Okay - learning a bit here. It looks like the LC fiber cable I purchased does not plug directly into most switches (or any?). Looks like they all use SFP modules. The SFP module you linked to - it looks like it maxes at 1G vs 10G. I am looking and it appears there are some 10G SFP modules but...

Greatly appreciate all the knowledge! I decided to not split the cable - it's too risky so I'll just have to have all six fiber(s) terminate on the North wall. I routed the fiber strand in the basement and it's a pain to deal with. At one point I had to stop what I was doing, back everything...

Any leads on LC wall plates? Having a tough time finding some. Thanks for the correction on those plates I linked to!

ONE THOUSAND THANK YOUS! That is exactly what I wanted to know. I'll be super careful.

I am building an office attached to my house and I am networking it with both Cat6 and with fiber. I plan to live here for a significant amount of time and I want to future proof my network. There will be four Cat 6 cables terminating at two wall plates (each a dual jack). One on North wall...

I already have two Cat6 cables but I am going to run two more. I also ordered 100ft six-strand single-mode LC fiber pre-terminated (Ubiquiti Fiber Cable Single Mode FC-SM) -- that will be showing up tomorrow. So I should have a total of 4 Cat6 lines and six LC fiber lines. I saw a two-port jack...

This is how it looks now. Drilled 2nd hole. Only 90* crossing. No parallel - or at least not super close. Best I think I can do. I think it's much better. Again, thanks for the advice. Once this office build out is done I'll start mounting IP cameras.

Appreciate all the helpful information. Getting another hole drilled today and will route the cable about 2ft away from the power line. There will be a brief 90* cross over but no running in parallel. From what I've read a 90* (i.e. not parallel) cross over should not affect anything.

Okay thanks. Drilling 2nd hole tomorrow.
