Hey guys, I've finished setting up a new system at my grandparents place with 4x 5MP Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW PoE cameras, an 8-port PoE switch and an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 w/ i5-4590 & 8GB RAM. After optimizing the system a bit, enabling sub-streams, tweaking FPS, and so on, I'm running into some...

I'm tinkering around with a Cisco IP phone setup, and have a few nice 8961 IP Phones with the capability of displaying 24-bit color PNG images with 498x289 resolution. XML applications for the phones are pretty easy to generate, and I'd like to build a basic app that would display the camera...

Sounds good! I have removed the hotspot and I will look at the optimization article. Thanks (:

Done! The pretrigger buffer will include a little more video to see what happened immediately before the trigger, right? I have turned make time up to .5. This is to prevent nuisance trips? I figured limit decoding would be similar to direct to disk encoding. What does limit decoding change...

Hey guys. We’re just past the 6 month mark with my BI system after I got tons of good advice from my first thread here. I only have two cameras so far and went with Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE’s from Andy. I find them to be fantastic cameras and I’m very happy with their performance and look. I opted...

So I finally got a couple Dahua cameras from Andy (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE's). I've got BlueIris running on my server and I'd like some ideas for my network setup from networking geeks like me. My home network is essentially a Cisco lab, and I'd like to tie the IP Cameras in securely and efficiently...

Excellent reading, Thank you, @looney2ns! Lots of great info there. I'm going to be purchasing my first camera and I want something that'll integrate well somewhere in my plans. Would a turret-style, like the Dahua 2MP Variofocal Turret IPC-HDW5231R-Z, be a good candidate for any locations in...

All I can say is wow! This is why I'm here... Thanks for the excellent info, @trucams and @mat200! Wire is cheap and pretty easy to pull so I'm flexible with where the cameras are put. I've already pulled UTP to the garage (2 cables, one for an IP cam, the other for an access point). If I need...

Hi there. My name is Nick, and I'm from Rhode Island, USA. I've been reading posts here for some time, but now that I'm actively looking to design a PoE IP cam system for my home, I've decided to register. I have a background in computers and networking, so my main concerns are about camera...
