    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Ok, I think I get it now. What I did was setup my Asus router as a VPN client, and I was accessing their server. I need to set the Asus up as a Server, and make my mobile device the client. No I am having issues accessing my cameras when my phone is on LTE. My Asus is behind my regular home...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    probably a dumb question, but Ill ask it anyway. I already have NordVPN for my phone and home pc. Should setup NordVPN on my ASUS openvpn, or just do the plain Asus OpenVPN using the VPN server option.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I agree with this thought. I'm clueless when it comes to protecting a network.

    Internet setup help

    Well that sucks. My router (Eero) does not have VPN support built in. I think I need to buy another router just for VPN and connect my Eero network to that.

    Internet setup help

    I have a Dahua PoE NVR and Dahua cameras all connected. I have my Dahua NVR plugged in to my router. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get it on the internet and how to be able to view it from my PC (on the same network) or on my Android device with gdmss. I've read through the wiki...

    White Cat6 Outdoor rated cable?

    So I think I've just decided to get a black outdoor cable and put it in a white small cable race. Kind of strange no one manufactures white outdoor cable.

    White Cat6 Outdoor rated cable?

    It is just for a single wire. The smallest conduit I could find was 1/2" which is still somewhat bulky compared to a single cat6. I was hoping to not have to spend time painting a wire, and paint doesn't stick well. I guess I can just run the cat6 I have and change it out every few years, but...

    White Cat6 Outdoor rated cable?

    Anyone know where I can buy white cat6 outdoor rated bulk cable? All I am seeing is black outdoor, or white indoor. I need white outdoor so it doesn't stand out so much. I need about 125ft of which 50ft or so will be outside the house. Need it to blend in. Thanks.

    Dahua Camera Initial setup

    I'm not sure if I am posting this in the correct sub, but it is part of the installation process. I bought a Dahua PoE NVR and Dahua Starlight and 8mp eyeball cameras from Andy recently. Going to install this weekend. Looking at the IPcamtalk cliff notes wiki, i'm confused about the initial...

    Dahua wall-mount bracket vs. junction box

    Is there enough room inside the junction box to hide the connection? I'm going with a Dahua setup from Andy, but didn't consider junction boxes or mounts for fear it woul make the camera stand out more.

    Can the cameras be direct mounted to a wall without the junction box or wallmount?

    Dahua ePoE vs PoE

    Does anyone know if a Dahua ePoE camera will work with a PoE NVR or does it need to have a ePoE NVR as well? If it does work, can I connect an ePoE camera to the NVR with normal Cat6, or do I actually need to get the adapters for the coax cable? The reason I am asking is Dahua only has a 4mm...

    Setup opinion: N84BG44 8MP and N42B2P 8CH NVR

    Sorry I'm new, but who is Andy? Is he an authorized Dahua seller? Doesn't hurt to price it out. I was currently looking on the Esentia website. Thanks

    Setup opinion: N84BG44 8MP and N42B2P 8CH NVR

    any reason you recommend a 16Ch? Its for my home install. The house is only 2300 sq ft and 6 cameras provide enough coverage. 8 would be overkill, I cant possible see the need for more than 8. Do the ports get used for anything else?

    Setup opinion: N84BG44 8MP and N42B2P 8CH NVR

    Hoping some of you pros can help out a newb. I am considering getting the N42B2P 8Ch NVR and 6 of the N84BG44 8MP Eyeball cams. My street and backyard are usually well lit for a residential neighborhood so I am hoping these 8MP cams will still work good at night. Does anyone know if these are...

    Dahua N64CG52 6MP Eyeball camera

    Edit N64CG52. Sorry... If a mod can change the title that would be great. New here. Been lurking and trying to learn. Looking for a good 6 camera system. Anyone know if this is one of the starlight cams that do good at night? And will it work with the N42B2P NVR? Thanks
