    I can't figure out this compression issue

    So there are 2 new IPC B5442Z cameras on site. One is on a PtMP with a Lite AP GPS as the AP and 2 Nanobeam 5AC Gen2s as clients. Dashboard pictured above. Each of the links has at least one existing camera that is working properly. The other is on a PtP with 2 TP Link CPE 510s and 2 existing...

    I can't figure out this compression issue

    Fyi I fixed the Drive link sharing setting above. These issues are happening on wireless links. Here is the dashboard of one of them, I don't think the wireless capacity is an issue. If it was, it expect all of the other cameras on the same link to have issues.

    I can't figure out this compression issue

    I am adding a few IPC B5442Z to a Sigmax and PTP wireless system and I am having this crazy compression effect I can't figure out. Has anyone seen this? I have messed with various settings and it always comes back after a few minutes. The original cameras are older Dahua 4mp IP bullets...

    Doubleclick to pause vs fullscreen

    Somehow when I double click a camera, that camera pauses. I am not seeing the setting that makes it open that camera to fullscreen. I am sure it is obvious, but I am not seeing it. Does anyone know where that setting is? Thanks, John

    Add camera to NVR after I logged into it directly

    I am stuck on something that I suspect is pretty easy to remedy. I am more comfortable with BI than NVRs. I installed 4 cameras before I had the NVR. I logged into to each camera, set a password, and viewed the aim in the web browser and a POE switch. When I received the NVR, I logged into each...

    CPU high, losing cams on 5.2.5.4

    I was with you until the last part of your sentence. Are you saying when the server is overloaded, it is dropping frames and therefore lowering MP/s?

    CPU high, losing cams on 5.2.5.4

    I was having issues today with 5.2.5.5 spiking CPU to 100%. I switched from Intel to Intel+VPP and jumped down to 40%. However, I noticed my MP/s jumped by 15%. I will have to test h.265 to see if I can get things stable to save some bandwidth and storage.

    Lorex LNR300 freezes when hooked to router

    It is possible. You could watch wireshark with nothing but a laptop/PC on your network and then plug in your LNR200 and see what the traffic does.

    Version 5.0.5.0 - live view frozen

    Thanks all. Ken got me fixed up. There is a pause button on the top of the screen I was overlooking. I will suggest to Ken that he make the pause button easier for oblivious users like myself to notice.

    Version 5.0.5.0 - live view frozen

    Thanks for your reply. Ken kindly asked if the pause button on the top right was clicked. It was. Sigh. It's embarrassing being the "user error"... All set now that I un paused

    Version 5.0.5.0 - live view frozen

    Hi, I noticed an update was available yesterday. Now all of the cameras images are static (except for a few that are offline due to wifi connectivity issues). UI3 works in live view and Recordings and clips are occurring normally. As far as I know, it was working before the update. This is a...

    Dahua NVR PoE Connection Quality

    Thanks for your feedback Dave. I agree that it doesn't seem to have a useful meaning. If it did, I'd like to understand it to prevent issues on any POE connected device - NVR or PC. Sorry, but I can't help with the video loss or offline notifications. I don't have access to the ePOE nvr I saw...

    Dahua NVR PoE Connection Quality

    I'm curious to hear about the quality rating too. I'd wonder if there is a PC based software that could give similar info.

    Using RTSP camera on Hikvision DS-7716NI-SP

    Dahua cameras have a menu item called Enable Authentication or something like that. Maybe that will help you find the right combination of settings and strings.

    Ds7600

    So when you turn youthe tv back on, what is the result? How do you resolve this issue at this point? What type of splitter did you use? Maybe a HDMI over cat6 extender would keep the signal active?

    Lorex LNR300 freezes when hooked to router

    Amy luck with your issue? Can you ping it when this happens? Can you accesss the menus in the DVR during or before this time to set it's address to either dynamic or an available static address? Have you tried a firmware update?

    ePoE on a standard PoE switch?

    I have read about people connecting any other network device at longer distances, it sounds like it typically works at 10/100 speed. I'd suggest you crimp both ends of the cable you want to use and see how long you can get it to work before you install it. If you use a device that will show it's...

    Can't connect WAN using mobile data (Cricket/AT&T)

    Are you using an Android? I am having issues with this on my S8+. I contacted BI, they asked me to take the Lan address out and try again. Changing the server details and my connection type between lan/4g changed the behavior. They forwarded the issue to the Android developer.

    Record over the WAN

    Hmm. I will give it another try. I have forwarded numerous ports and tried them in BI. I will look up what changes I need to make to the RTSP stream connection string and try that route. (I can't look at BI or cams at the moment) Thanks!

    Record over the WAN

    I have been trying to connect a remote camera to BI and having issues. I have used Milestone to connect to remote cameras with some struggle but eventual success. Milestone requires the http port and RTSP port to be forwarded. However, Milestone only has a place to specify the Http port. So that...

    Unable to add ONVIF Camera to XProtect Corporate and Don't KNow why

    If it is a remote camera, you have to forward the rtsp port. Local or remote, try adding the camera manually and select some generic drivers to find one that works.

    Decent box camera enclosure

    I have looked around enough that I feel pretty confident that I am not going to find a reasonable enclosure with 12vdc. I am going to have to get a good enclosure that doesn't have a heater or blower. If I have issues, I will have to buy the cheap enclosures off of Amazon and retrofit the...

    Decent box camera enclosure

    I am looking for a box camera enclosure. I am looking for a step up from the basic models they have on Amazon. I have DC power ran to the camera, AC would be difficult. Most of the enclosures I find are rated for 24VAC. Can anyone recommend something in between? Thanks, John

    Camera for birdwatching

    Funny, I didn't even consider that I found a video posted by a member here. Let alone 2 years old. I found that by searching youtube, not this site. Thanks for linking me back to the discussion thread. Pretty cool of @vector18 to have shared that and still leave it up! Not sure if this upgrade...

    Camera for birdwatching

    I don't have any experience with auto tracking. However, I have read about it on here and it seems there are sometimes concerns about it being a gimmick. He mentioned his neighborhood is considering adding cameras on light poles that are at 180* 3-way intersections. Maybe a couple of 90*...

    Camera for birdwatching

    I am going to help them setup a 20x Dahua. Tiny Cam Pro is listed in the Amazon App Store, so I am going to give a Fire TV a try.

    Camera for birdwatching

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a good camera for birdwatching? It would be a standalone camera and used to watch from a condo, so not necessarily massive distances. This Dahua PTZ comes to mind. Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN) After selecting a camera, the standalone aspect may be...

    Remote Temperature Monitoring

    Thanks for bringing these to light. It looks like the Mi-gateway doesn't have sensor capability functions, so the price to entry is $60(gateway) + $30(sensor). Not bad!
