    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Have you tried using the "OpenVPN for android" client from google play instead of "OpenVPN connect" ? After the latest OpenVPN Connect update (version 3.4.1) it startet acting up for me as well, but the other app works fine. With no easy way of downgrading the OpenVPN connect version...

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    BiDi modules means they are bi-directional and only ONE strand of fiber is needed for rx/tx because they use different wavelengths for Rx/tx and as stated on the website you have to use "matching pairs" because one SFP will transmit on 1310nm while receiving on 1550nm.The other SFP has to be...

    Router behind Router

    Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but generally speaking two routers on the same network will make a "clash" as a router is what hands out your IP adresses via DHCP for the clients on your network that is not set up for static IPs. I am able to run my ISP provided modem-router...

    Dahua high power consumption?

    I can read the power consumption for individual ports on my managed poe switch. All my Dahua OEM cameras stays around 2-3 watts when no IR is on. With IR lights on, they usually go up to about 5 watts, exept my 5241-z12e that has very powerful IR light. That one draws just above 10 watts.

    I don't know the regulations or "code" in your part of the world but maybe it does not apply to off-grid systems anyway?

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    Look for equipment for the european market, all consumer electrics are 240V. A standard PoE switch that runs off 240volts main with a SFP slot (for a fiber module) is what you need. A 1000ft run (333m) is easily accomplished. Keep the poe switch in a suitable enclosure centrally located and...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Yeah, mine did that sometimes too. Especially when a large object comes into view fast. Turn off "acupick" and it stops doing that.

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Just think of 1 second being 1000milliseconds. So 1/500 shutter equals 1000ms/500=2 ms

    Camera reliability?

    My first ip cam was a Hikvision ds-2cd3332 that I mounted outdoors in the beginning of 2014. I live close to the sea so there is a lot of wind, rain/snow and salt in the air. Had to clean the lens every couple of weeks...Even used an indoor rated cat 5 cable. I thought it had failed earlier...

    Thanks for the review, interesting. I got a little confused when you wrote 5442-z12e, I assume that is a "typo" ?
