Ah, maybe your right. Just an odd place for it to be... Andy also replied to my email and confirms that P is for PAL and N is for NTSC. Thanks!

I'm initializing some new cameras and on the page where you provide the login information at the bottom under email for password recovery there's a drop down for P/N. You can choose either P or N, but I have no idea what each one means. I've searched online, Dahua Wiki and the configtool...

Hello all. Now that my security cameras are up and running I started hardening my network. I disabled UPnP in my router. I only saw two addresses using it at the time, neither of which was the NVR and thought it would break a lot of things like my VOIP service, etc, but... it didn't. In...

Thanks guys. It looked like it should have been able to rotate along the base, but it wasn't for me. It was just really, really hard even with the adjustment screw all the way out, but it clicks around. Thanks again!

I have some Lorex LNB8111-C bullet cameras. I'm wanting to mount them under the soffit, but I'll only be able to adjust the pitch of the camera. It doesn't twist side to side when in that position. Do they make a box or something that I can mount to the camera to that will allow it to twist...

In addition to issues you've already described about a dash cam setup, I think another reason why most people use helmet cams rather than dash cams for motorcycles is that the camera looks where they look. If it's mounted to the bike and you look at something to your left or right then it's...

Here is a link to the service manual with an image of the motherboard. You may be able to determine what form factor it is by the screw mounts if it's not proprietary. OptiPlex 5050 Tower Owner's Manual

I stand corrected. When you said, "gunfire" I took that as somebody being shot. I would never unholster my weapon unless I was prepared to use it and I would never carry my gun if I wasn't.

Actually, those are lumped into the gun violence statistics as well as suicide by a firearm and even police using a firearm against a criminal.

It's because you are shopping for Cat6A. Is there a reason you need Cat6A vs regular Cat6?

Just one more suggestion. If you are pulling your own cable, get a couple of 500' boxes rather than one 1000 ft. That way you can pull more than one cable at a time. It will cost a few bucks more but the time savings is worth it.

Just an update. I picked up a couple of 16mm lenses for a couple of the cameras. I swapped one out. Man that glue is tough on the original lens. Replacement screwed in without issue.

A mistake is an accident. This was a premeditated act done on purpose. Glad he paid for it.

That's cool! I use Kodi and will check into this as soon as I get everything up and going. I have a doorbell, but for some reason everybody insists on knocking. I watch my movies pretty loud, so I never hear it. Popup on motion at the front door would be helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I setup the VPN on my QNAP NAS. I used OpenVPN. The VPN works fine. The Lorex app works fine, but there's only an option to use my Lorex online account. I'm presuming regardless if I'm using the VPN or not, it's going out to Lorex and back in as there's no options for me to setup the IP of...

I've successfully setup my VPN, but the default Lorex app doesn't have options to use it. Is there an alternative app I can use to access my NVR via VPN?

Thanks mat200. Is there a cheat sheet, calculator or equation on how to determine what kind of lens I need to narrow the FOV and to reach 100 ppf at a specific distance? I've been searching the forum and everything I'm finding is either people already know what they need or seem to be...

@mat200 I'm trying to figure out the math. When I plug in all the numbers in IPVM Camera Calculator I'm showing 20ft at 100ppf. What am I doing wrong?

Cool! So for the sides of the house I could change the lenses as I don't need as wide a field of view since it's only a few feet between my house and fence line. That would definitely be better than investing in a camera every 25'. Still so much to learn...

Thanks mat200. So short answer is 25'. That will definitely change how I will be planning on laying out the cameras. I'll check out all the info in the topics you linked as well. Thanks again.

Does anybody know the ID distance of the Lorex LNB8111B? I did a quick search but couldn't find any information. I'm not sure which Dahua camera this cross references to. I'm looking at starting to work on my camera layout and this information would be helpful. I plan on setting up a camera...

Thanks mat200. I already have an alarm system and once I get the cameras set up, I'm looking at ways to integrate them into both my alarm and my Z-Wave network for automation. Baby steps.

Thanks for the welcome. I hooked it up over the weekend and started burning the system in. So far so good. All cameras working as I would expect. I'm going through the process of creating a VPN to access the NVR. Slow going but it's cold outside so I'll likely not be quick to mount any...

These are too small, but you could do something similar with stainless clamps and an aluminum plate. Aliexpress.com : Buy Pole Mount Bracket PFA152 E, free shipping from Reliable bracket suppliers on Empire Technology Co., Ltd

Should be showing up tomorrow. Looking forward to setting all this up over the weekend. Will be looking for future cameras eventually, but looks like there's plenty of FAQs to keep me busy in the meantime.
