Hi guys, as IP seems the standard to go and POE becomes a neat way to power the devices up, I wonder what POE switch for a home scenario you can recommend? Requirements: 4+ POE ports (at least 802.3af support?) - better 8 What standards should be supported? Are 15W output per port enough...

I have a "Fing" app on my phone and it's real handy for viewing all my devices and their respective IP addresses on my various different LANs. However, what I'm not sure about is if there is a separate and unique IP address other than the default Gateway address for the Modem when it is built...

hi, recently i installed 100 hik vison Ip cam along with 3 hik vision NVR and 8 TP link 16 port switchers. my ip range given from 192.168.1.100 - 19.168.1.210. along this network 20 computers also been connected to this same network with the ip range of 192.168.1.220 on words. the entire network...

I was going to put this in my other thread but its a bit off topic so I am starting a different one in case someone has a similar question. The Dahua cameras come set with a static IP of 192.168.1.108. My network is 192.168.255.xxx. Currently, I have to change my local LAN settings on my PC...

SpiceWorks is free SW and returns a lot of good performance data on critical network components, but I'm having some trouble setting up the SNMP string for my router. Anyone else using this SW?

Hey folks...Happy Holidays! I've been noticing recently, that my home network has begun to get quite sluggish. I'm running high quality cable throughout, with decent Gigabit switches at every junction. My Blue Iris setup consists of 34 cameras of mixed resolution but quite of few are now 4K. I...

Hey all, so the geofence feature of blue iris is awesome, I was often forgetting to turn the sytem on when in a rush, and this is a great solution, except for one part of it, I live in a basement suite. Now, in some areas, it's fine, but in a lot of areas, my phone must loose gps signal...

Hi, I have a DAHUA NVR4104-P NVR connected to 2 DAHUA IPC-HFW4421B cameras. I used to be able to view the camera feed from Smart PSS on my networked computers (and directly from the web app if I ran the old browsers). Recently I upgraded my cable internet to a higher speed and with it got a...

I purchased a few of these Hikvision PoE cameras and, unlike my other Hikvision PoE cameras, all of these cameras report Network Disconnected Exceptions in their logs every 1-3 minutes. My managed PoE switch reports the ports the cameras are using going off-line every 1-3 minutes and coming...

I just cant understand how to get this working.. I am pretty "FICK" at the tech stuff I changed BI to service as it was power hungry on my spare machine. Since then it will not record to the WDmycloud networked drive. I have seen posts by the boss "fenderman" but i cont understand what to do. I...

What's up guy's, I'm just a guy good at his job! I'm starting out in my own now and it's super spooky but going ok. I want to help you guys and create myself a name. It seems to be when I train they don't retain so let's do this.

I am having the worst time with my Blue Iris set up! I have a 4 tb surveillance drive in order and when I install that into my computer I am considering a total reinstall of Blue Iris. I had Blue Iris set up for a Dahua POE camera and everything was working fine. I had the weather overlay from...

Hi, My store has 15 cameras (hike vision) connected to a hike vision NVR through ethernet cable When I try to playback cameras, If I select more than 3 cameras, my CPU usage will become 100% (NVR Model: DS-7716NI-E4) NVR Information: Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. firmware...

Here is my situation: If I have two switches, one in each of two buildings connected with a single fiber trunk cable & Each switch is "managed", but the manufactures are different & Each switch has its own firmware to handle device/network configuration assignments & Both switches are VLAN...

I am currently trying to set up some Dahua cameras using just a Laptop+Blue Iris connected to a POE Switch which is then connected to all the cameras (no router involved). Essentially, I am trying emulate an off the shelf NVR, where everything pertaining to video surveillance happens in its own...

My camera seems to operate just fine for a few hours, then suddenly stops responding to any network requests. It doesn't matter if I have networking set to static or DHCP. It seems the only temporary fix is to restart the camera. To troubleshoot, I directly connected my laptop to the camera...

Recently I came across this network SW called "NetBrain". looks great but also expensive. Does anyone have any experience with it? Is there any known free shareware that will do the same thing? This SW is advertised to be automated in so far as the definition of all the network devises and...

What solutions have you found to secure your network from unauthorized access through the LAN connection on an IP camera? I'm considering an IP doorbell camera, but one thing that concerns me is that ability of a technically savvy intruder to access the LAN connection in the back of the camera...

Could someone help me in identifying what type of network switch I'll need for my planned setup. I plan to run BI on a Win 10 Pro machine Up to 12-15 4MP+ cameras eventually over time All camera power to be POE powered from the switch 1 or 2 PTZ Zoom cameras Cameras would record to disc...

Hello, I am looking at buying a couple IP Cameras for my home. I realize that I shouldn’t place the cameras in “sensitive” areas, but at any given time, any area can be sensitive. So, I am proceeding my quest with this in mind. I am looking for an IP camera with the following features: 1)...

Hello, Just bought my first Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I and I am having trouble staying connected to it. When I check for the camera using the SADP program it either shows up or it doesn't, it is totally hit or miss. When it does show up, I am not able to access the camera via web browser. Sometimes...

Pardon my naivete, I'm pretty new to most of this stuff. I am trying to record triggered video from my Hikvision DS-2CD2412F-I(W) to a network drive connected to my router. I think I've actually made some decent progress and my current problem is that the setup has populated the network drive...

I am in the process of setting up an Acti NVR (ENR-120,Firmware ENR-020-V4.03.06-AC) on my home network. I need help with two things. I can't get emailto send (and I need this for event notification purposes). Also, I can't get Acti's Mobile Client on myiPhone to connect to my NVR. I have...

I have Foscam 9803P V2 cameras. If I go to my local network, I can log in via a web browser just fine. i.e....192.168.2.160:8088 If I go to the port forwarded address, i.e... 99.12.33.11:8088 , the login screen shows but fails. It says: "connect failed, please try it again later" Has...

(well actually not a thousand words but you get the idea haha) Hello IP Cam Community I'm glad this place exists! I'm new but with enough knowledge to almost figure it out. I've got most of it complete, I just cant connect from the internet to the cameras :sad: I'm trying to isolate my IP Cams...

I'm going to keep some of the info brief so I'm not flooding this post with possibly useless info. Just ask and I can supply. I have an issue where with 7 wireless IP cameras (4 Dlink 480p, 3 foscam 720p) there is a huge amount of 2.4ghz network issues. I have a high end router (tested with...

Apparently Carl, AKA Network Camera Critic has passed away. I never corresponded with him, though I did spend several hours reading his reviews and shopped at his daughters store. For a newbie like myself his website was like a beacon in the fog. Thank you Network Camera Critic, for all...

From what I've read, the POE ports on the back of the NVR (e.g. DS-7604NI-SE/P) are isolated from the LAN segment that the NVR itself is connected to. What are the chances of the POE ports ever being bridged with the internal LAN interface? I'd really prefer to be able to reach the IP cameras...

So I gave up trying to fight with wireless connection issues and signal drops..I went wired..Lol But my question is to aid Blue iris in getting a better faster signal is there anything inside a LAN network to help transfer from camera via cat 5 to router...like a booster of sorts.?? The...
