You aren't kidding. That was almost painful to watch. I guess that's why it's called "pre-production".

In Meraki have you run the cable test in tools? https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Using_the_Cable_Test_Live_tool

Assuming you're running Cat 6. It's effective range is 328 ft. I'm assuming this was implied from this post.

Did you assign the new camera the same static IP address?

Thank you

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

Hello, I was wondering if there is a consolidated place where we can quickly go to find current firmware for all the different Dahua cameras. For example, something like an excel or google sheets or anything we can go to and click a link to download the latest firmware. I appreciate all the...

In my humble opinion and with all due respect, price/performance ratio with these cameras from Andy are already at "sale" prices.

I see what you're saying. I have read on here people installing another NIC on their BI server. I didn't go as far as installing another NIC though. My cameras aren't in a private area they are only observing the outside. I use Dahua cameras I bought from a vendor here so I hope they aren't...

Are you trying to prevent you cameras from accessing the WAN ?

I have experienced no issues with BI5 thus far. Though my setup is fairly simple with only 2 cameras (adding 2 more soon). I definitely like how you can send alerts to multiple carriers for sms alerts. I have an iOS device so I enabled push notifications are quick and I have 2 others setup...

@redfive that's good to hear. I'm sure real world videos and shots will start showing up more on the forum. Mine comes in today, the IR version.

Thank you

Hey @B3n1254, I am just starting out too. My advice to you and this is just me repeating what others have said is the read the cliffnotes (IP Cam Talk Cliff Notes | IP Cam Talk). Read until you understand what is being talked about, if it doesn't make sense to you try searching the forums...

In a brief conversation through email I asked Andy which would he recommend between the HDW5231R-ZE and T5442TM-AS 4MP Starlight+ and he said the T5442TM-AS 4MP Starlight+ would be better than the 5231R-ZE although the newer T54422TM is a fixed lens and not motorized. I did end up ordering...

It was great but I'm on iOS and they are on Android. It's all good though I have everything setup now.

For clarification do you mean push notifications via a mobile app? If so, I don't think the others in the household want to spend the money on the app. As a result, the reason I'm trying to get this setup.

Yes this occurred to me while I was out running errands. Also, I will try cloning the camera in the Blue Iris software.

Hello, With the much anticipated Blue Iris 5 just days away I wonder if it'll be possible to send text/MMS alerts to people on different carriers. I have been unable to figure out how to accomplish this on Blue Iris 4. For example I am on Verizon and the other is on ATT.

Thank you that's good to know.

Hello, has anyone tested out theses cameras yet? I have the IP Camera IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 2MP (purchase from Andy's amazon store) installed and was curious how these new 4MP starlight+ preformed at night under various lighting conditions at night. I wonder if "starlight+" is another marketing...

Hello, Here's what I followed: VPN Primer for Noobs

So that happened to me at work. What I did was disconnect my computer from the network and assigned a tcp/ip address of something like 192.168.1.45 , I then plugged my computer into the switch that has the camera on it and that's how I was able to get into the camera.

I'm not sure what you mean, assuming you initialized it and set a password and are on your home network and your IP in your home network is still 192.168.1.xx you can type in http://192.168.1.108 and enter in the the username and password.

I've had trouble getting the IP to change via config tool also. I usually connect to the camera via a web browser and changing the IP that way.

Hey my first post. Congrats on your setup. I too have been installing a few cameras at work and will soon be adding 3-4 cameras at home. Do you mind posting here on picture at predetermined check points evaluating picture quality ? For example maybe after a year or 2 to see how the dome cameras...
