    Recent Purchase Question - Dahua Consumer Line A46

    I did, it’s in a good spot, I was more or less hoping there was a fix to the feature so I could check out the feature myself. Seems spastic at best but not working properly at all in the flip mode.

    Recent Purchase Question - Dahua Consumer Line A46

    Hi Andy, Just got the IPC-A46 setup today; the only issue I'm having is that the smart tracking is not working properly. I have it mounted on the ceiling and therefore I toggled the screen flip setting. Because of this, the smart tracking is actually moving away from the movement instead of...

    Dahua IPC-A46P: Ethernet over WiFi

    I just got the same model from Andy, works fine. Still trying to setup more features with SmartPSS. To fix that problem, I actually connected with the ethernet, then switched my wifi password to force it out of wifi mode. Works fine on ethernet now.

    Lightning surge protection

    Might try 4 of these for the cameras on poles: BT-CAT5E-P1-HP Midspan/Injector Kit with 48VDC @ 48 W Power Supply - BT-CAT5E-P1-HP-4848 and two of these for some protection to the 8 cameras under the eaves that aren't as likely to get struck: Indoor 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-T Shielded CAT6 PoE...

    Cat5e length question

    Thanks for the replies guys, this is the cable I have shipping in the mail. Planning on getting some good conduit and surge/lightning protectors for these 4 long, outdoor runs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MG7BMPW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Lightning surge protection

    Do you think every outdoor camera needs one or just the high-strike prone ones i.e. on top of tall poles vs 10 ft under the eaves of the house

    Lightning surge protection

    Hey guys, installing 4 new cams onto the top of a rather tall wooden post 25-30 feet. It already has a lightning rod on the pole with a good ground. Would something like this be sufficient to protect my system if I install it on the inside of my house? Currently don't have any dedicated surge...

    Cat5e length question

    Hey guys, trying to run 3 extra camera at outside locations away from the house. On poles looking over my property at various points of interest. On one of these runs, after walking the shortest route twice and counting in the inside wire length to the NVR, I'm right at 325 feet. My question is...

    How large a drive can I use in my NVR?

    I can confirm that the 10TB WD drives work. Just installed one yesterday with a 6TB already installed for a total of 16 TB. I checked it this morning and it is recording to the drive. I had been wondering this for a while too. I doubt I'll replace my 6TB with a 10TB though. I have 10 cameras on...

    NVR Storage Solution Question

    Hi all, I have a Dahua NVR with a listed 12 TB max (2x6TB) storage space. I found 10 TB WD drives online, is there any reason why these drives wouldn't work in the NVR? Currently running my 7 4k cams at 10 fps at 4k resolution with VBR setting on 8000 some. By my calculations, that not even...

    Thanks for the tip, I've seen the a couple of these setups. I found out that the distance below my soffit to the plywood underneath is only 1 inch. Therefore, I think I may be able to use a longer screw to junction box on the outside of the soffit while still being secured to the plywood...

    Cat5e Fishing Advise

    Hey guys, got my system, setup the NVR location, mapped out my camera locations, and installed one camera in the garage. Couple of questions: 1. What do you think of the camera locations and "sample image" from the location (used my wifi app to screen shot the gopro live feed to my phone i.e...

    Cat5e Fishing Advise

    Would you or anyone else recommend running lorex's provided 100 ft Cat5e, or buy a bulk roll and doing it yourself. I ask this as a quality question as I already know about the reason to do this in case I want to return the bundle. Thanks.

    Hi Mat200, thanks for the response! No, I haven't seen your notes can you link them? The attic is an older farm house that has had an expansion added to the house... the attic is complex. Its a type of Truss style attic, but it extends downward past the second story with eaves (i.e. the second...
