Thanks for your reply and suggestion. It seems pretty simple, but still have a problem. I`ll check it today and we`ll see later tonight.

So I tried adjusting the angle of the cameras. I have the break in LEDS at the top and bottom. The gasket seems fine. It will pop off ,and looks like it just goes back on and should contact the dome perfectly. However I do get IR reflected back somehow. Does the cameras gaskets have to contact...

I will have to pay more attention to the gasket. I assumed it was sealing the lens against the dome.I might have too much angle. Have to check when it stops pouring. They are really great in the daytime, just have to work out the night! Thank you very much!

Thanks I was hoping that was not the case. I`m not sure if its possible to keep the IR out of the lens if you have to have it on. I might put this inside and stick a pair of 5442s out there.

I have the new 4MP version. Put it up in place of an older cam, for the double views . The pictures from both cameras will show up in Config Tool ,but not Synology SS . I only get 1 with no option for the other.I was thinking it does not use up another license as it is only 1 port. Any ideas...

Found it on Amazon

I do use dielectric and tape, and all of my cameras are under the eaves so somewhat proctected. I never used silicone tape but I`ll get some .Thanks

Now that you mentioned this a friend did his Jeep the same way . It came out really well. Thanks !

I haven`t looked for it yet. I know there are alot of things for hunters to use. I`m not looking forward to using duct tape.I would rather paint it to match the bark if I had to. It kind of does look like tape in the picture.

Thanks for your responses. I`m going to probably use 3/4 plastic pipe . I saw some in a lumber yard and the bends are not sharp.Probably $2 for bends and $10 for 10`. I`ll run multiple cables or at least some string.The camo tape is nice.I think I`ll need more like a gray tree bark camo...

Hi I am considering mounting a LPR capable camera from Andy to a tree about 25 ft from my house. I have it already so the decision to mount in the corner under the eaves or the tree comes up and the tree is much better in line with the road which is about 100 ft. from the house . I have read...

Hi Thanks for your comment. I already purchased the switch,as suggested by Andy as he didn`t have any at the time. I was just asking about transferring the cameras ,and upgrading a few of them to the new switch for expansion.Quite uniformed in this area ,so sometimes you have to be careful of...

Thank you ,and thanks for all the information you have shared on here.

Hi I`m going to upgrade to a NetGear 16P POE+ GB Unmanaged switch from an unnamed 8 port one I got from Andy to add a few more cameras.Is there a Wiki page ,or a step by step about this procedure?I`m sure its not as easy as it seems from reading here for years. I couldn`t find any. I was...

Hi Thanks to this forum, and hours of reading and watching videos,I`m going to upgrade some of the 8 cameras( working well) I have installed . My main concern is that as I am using Synology SS ,so will I be able to install and utilize the functions of a IPC-Color4K-T180 or the SD4A425DB-HNY...

Hi and Thanks for the comments. I was at Costco today and the Nest 3 camera set was discounted. I might have him try that .

Thanks thats what I figured the choices are. Just figured I would see if there were any tips or opinions

Hi After that title I knew I would get a few looks! Anyway there is a friends son that lives at home with Paranoid Schizophrenia. He is around 32. He seems determined to install cameras to "protect himself" from intruders. I was asked what would work....I have a limited knowledge ,but managed to...

I was wondering when you would comment . Thanks for the link. I have been away from this long enough to have to relearn it.Too many other things to figure out... I have to say I cannot seem to tell the difference between a minimal bitrate and the highest customised rate. I always used VBR ...

.I have seen this before. But I must reread it as its been awhile. Thanks

Thanks for your comments. It is a very interesting I will be paying a little more attention to my settings now. I haven`t really gotten to where I`ve tried to balance all these factors. Thanks ! You`ve given me a reason to return to this hobby. I use a Synology because I already had it.I...

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I will be rereading it many times . I will try your suggestions ASAP . The setting for LEDS on or off was really annoying me as I had enough light with the IR illuminator to see very well in almost complete darkness. Until the LEDS went on !! Does...

I have 6 IP cameras all from Andy. (2 )IPC-HDW2831T-ZS-S2 (2) K42A ** Indoors and (2) IPC-T5442TM-AS 6mm All functioning thanks to this forum and a couple of very generous ,helpful people. I have read everything here as suggested many times... Still I have a few issues that I need...

Thank You for your help. I will give a shot this weekend if possible. Any thoughts on using the 4K 5831 indoors. I plan to us all 4MP 5422 outside. I do have a few of the K42A inside now and they are OK .I`m assuming the 5831 will be alot better?They will be used to monitor an inlaw appt...

Hi Everyone , I am replacing my 5831 R ZE s to IPC-T5442TM-AS 6mm . I have matching mounts . Wondering what I have to do to accomplish this. I would like to use the same location as the older ones and same cable. If I activate the new ones , can I put then them in the 5831s location? (This...

Thank you for your response. I`m also pretty new at this. I tried your suggestion. My camera is in the database. Everything seems to be right. It worked fine until I recently did a hard reset on them all. After that I added them back and activated. The one camera worked at first then became...

Hi After doing a hard reset and reactivation on my 3 Dahuas (HDW5831R-ZE) because my Config Tool password didn`t work any longer.for some reason. Everything was back to normal.The process was easy enough after I figured it out and a few attempts . Anyway, after a couple days on Synology SS...

Hi Andy Purchased a few HDW 5831R-ZE and a 5231 from you. They work perfectly. I downloaded what I thought was a newer version of Dahua Config Tool. Seems it was the same one and all it did was knock out my passwords. I still have cameras up and running just cannot acess them through Config...

I did try logging in through IE but got the same password page and a wrong password message..
