    router for VPN

    OpenWrt is awesome. I run WireGuard on my Linksys 1200ac. I have no choice since my ISP is cgnat. But I run it into my Synology router as a second WAN (load balance/fall over). That way I can set what devices I want on the VPN via policy route, excluding Apple TV and services that don’t play...

    Hard reset

    Never worked for me when I had Reolink. It just clears the data and returns it to default. You could try to restore the original firmware if you can find it on their site. Maybe ftp on their server and locate it if they still have it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blinking light on power meter triggering camera motion

    I had the same issue. I just set that zone to blank. It also does that with the pendulum on the living room clock.

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KSE MD Problem

    If Pre-record is set to to 5 seconds or 100 seconds doesn't matter. The recording should began at 16:47:08 but it will begin at exactly when the motion occurred or a second or two later. No change to the pre-record has any effect on it. Only cams that are set to motion only will behave...

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KSE MD Problem

    The way I understood was the 1800 is the seconds that the NVR will retrieve data from the cameras SD card if it were to miss it.

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KSE MD Problem

    I’ve done all that. It doesn’t work if you are recording all the time and use MD. It only works if you record motion only. I wish it did because I like to look at motion from the day rather than manually searching through the general timeline for every event. Right now the time in the event for...

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KSE MD Problem

    Not everyone can make changes to the camera directly via the browser as it requires plugins that no longer work. Some changes don’t require you to see the live camera as you make the change but you can look at the monitor as you make some changes. Unfortunately IVS is not one of those.

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KSE MD Problem

    I record the main stream. I use the subs for remote viewing and don’t record those. The main stream records at the best resolution. IVS works sometimes and not others so I don’t really like it. I use the regular motion and tweak the sensitivity etc. I get a lot of false motion with fog and bugs...

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KSE MD Problem

    So I have motion detection set and a pre-record time of 4 seconds but when I play back the video it's always right at the exact second it says the motion happened or its a second too late... I have tried to change the time on the pre-record in the schedule but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

    Are WD Purple HDs still the best upgrade option?

    I’ve used both. Seagate seems a little more noisy. Right now I’m running WD purple 1x8TB and 1x10 TB. No problems so far.

    Installation Hicup

    Could maybe use a dremel, just careful with the wire.

    Installation Hicup

    You could order a junction box for each camera and put the wires in that. Also if you need to upgrade cameras in the future you won’t need to drill more holes in your siding to mount them.

    home with existing cams

    Just hooking to your router will not power the cam. You could buy a cheap single POE injector from Amazon for a few bucks then you could test it. I use one of those for testing purposes. It’s possible to gain access to the login screen but most likely you’ll have to factory reset the cam to...

    Reputable Security Cam installers in the Las Vegas area?

    Haven’t ever used a company. I just always done it myself. I like tinkering with it.
