    Looking for a outdoor wireless camera

    Budget I am open to anything. I have a Dahua 5231R-ZE on the dock and had a Ubiquiti Nanostation. But the video was pausing and skipping frames even though it was a 1Gb network. So I am thinking about cutting out the middle man and going direct to mesh... PS - Vietnam vet also :-) in NW Florida

    Question on Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Cameras

    After testing every possible thing I can think of I found that an old NVR (china made) I got off off Amazon years ago that I was using to view cameras in Master Bedroom (not recording) does something to the network where the camera windows on our mac computers freeze. The other 2 NVR do not...

    Quick question about NVR hard drive installation. I have a Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 NVR that is my home office. The NVR was a little loud that even my old ears can hear. I decided replace the OEM fan with a Noctua Premium fan. This helped a bunch. There still is some hard drive noise from the...

    Recommendation for wireless outdoor camera?

    Well may go that route. We can watch Hulu TV wirelessly on dock without issue. The camera we had was 8 fps or so and was 2mp. I like what I see about the SD1A203T-GN-(W) but I would have to be mounted vertically and sun rising will be an issue. I have a couple extra IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras...
