    POE Alarm/Siren?

    Yeah as I said best thing is to setup your alarm out to trigger an alarm in doors so you know when your tripwire or Intrusion has been tripped. Personally not a video I would post myself.

    POE Alarm/Siren?

    If your NVR has an Alarm output then you could always use a 12v car alarm siren with a 12v power supply and use the output to sound an alarm.. You are aware what your are asking for? I mean I hope you are selective on the cameras alarms you are going to have alert you. I say this because without...

    PTZ5A4M-25X no audio

    Some PTZs do have Mic and Speakers built in, But seems like yours may not.. So would as said before need an external Mic. Then even when you enable from camera at times it seems there might be an issue even with audio after being enable using WebUI. I found in this case you need to go to your...

    Static or DHCP for IP cams?

    Kind of need more info about what you are trying to do.. Personally turn off UpNP in all devices and best to turn it off in your router so one can't sneak on that you forgot to turn off.. Normally Firewall info isn't needed unless you have blocked the devices from access of the internet over...

    Local DVR latency issues

    From your post it sounds like you might want to add in a Switch. Connect your cameras, DVR, BI computer all to the switch and see if that helps with the bottle neck you are having with your router connected devices. Routers are good for dhcp service and giving access to the internet for your...

    Amcrest Smart Home (ASH), No http web user Interface, Boooo!

    Just a heads-up, you can’t flash firmware from a different Amcrest camera like one with a full WebUI onto a Smart Home series Amcrest camera just to get missing features like the Web interface. Even if the cameras look similar or share the same resolution, the firmware is model-specific and...

    Looking for something similar to my ip4m-1051 Amcrest PTZ camera.

    Keep in mind that the 841 is in the line of the 1051. These have been replaced with a v3 model that isn't same quality of camera. PCB is 1/2 the size and they removed Alarm and Audio in and out for external access. However this isn't what makes this v3 line not as good in my mind. That is they...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Wow nice easy pcb to move, so without trying i am going to guess that camera would fit the Dahua housing. With no wires needing transplanting. Would have loved that being my pcb. Anyway looks like that is widest part and other is narrow, even if it needed to be tilted some that PCB out of its...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    So has been a while, my son was able to locate the normal base. Now i remember the main reason I transplanted the camera. Couple years ago when I went to replace failing MicroSD card 2 of the 3 screws came loose, I had to break the 3rd one from the base and doing so made it not very water tight...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    So went to Cabin and picked up one of the converted cameras, this camera has some extra parts that wasn't needed so this camera had only power and ethernet moved and audio alarm and analog still in dome housing. Camera it self works and picture of housing and close up you can see the red power...
