    Manuals/Resources for setup of DH-IPC-HDBW13A0EN-W?

    I have a couple of DH-IPC-HDBW13A0EN-W cameras and have set up motion detection - which is SORT OF working...but I am only getting partial recording. I need help with configuration and I can't find clear guides/manuals. I am a newbie and don't even know what 'snapshot' means (just as an example...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    All, I have done the installation and it is working like a charm now. Thanks to all who helped guide me by providing useful information. So that this might help others here is what I did that worked, AND what did not: The setup is in an old Mid Century Modern wood frame house by a famous...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    Thanks all. With all the conflicting info I am still unsure. I realize the drawing is very crude but I cannot wire from the router to either camera. I CAN wire from camera 1 to camera 2 so maybe I could use the TP-Link AV2000 2-Port Gigabit. It is possible the outlets are even on the same...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    That sounds feasible. But for clarification: are you saying I should wire the second camera on the garage to the nanobeam connected to the first camera so they share that? I actually could wire in the garage, that IS feasible.... Many thanks for all the ideas. This is confusing as I have so...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    crude image attached...the AP/router is currently just a simple residential router/firewall/wifi AP. The small rectangle is a garage. Both house and garage are wood frame construction with wood interior and exterior siding (vs drywall).

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    TomasLTU & Copex, I have been trying to get details from Ubiquity forums to no avail... Can you tell me: do I need a nanostation at my wifi access point AND at each camera? or Do I simply need one at each camera and that will pick up the weak signal from the AP and send a strong enough one...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    Cool! This could solve the bandwidth issue. I do have access to power... Thanks a bunch! I still have the non-sticking settings issue - but will deal with that later...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    They did not have much crime back then and home surveillance cameras did not even exist...old house... Any thoughts from anyone on why the settings keep changing whenever I log back in? Even when set to static IP? Even the gateway changes occasionally ... just weird....would love to lock them in.

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    Well....thank you all. I am working on protecting a home built by a well known architect and have to be very respectful to the structure. Drilling holes all over to install cabling is not an option and I can't do exposed wiring either... I hear you but... So, is the fact that each time I log in...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    Thanks. I can add a wifi repeater later - but meanwhile I need the wifi settings to stick. I just saw you have to specify and save wireless and default so am checking that now...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    More info: Now, on on of the cameras, when I disconnect from the wired network the green light comes on but the wifi stream is seemingly not working as I lose all video from the camera. This is now just feet from the wireless router for testing. If I plug the network cable in then all is good...

    wifi not sticking %$#@!!!

    I am a newbie but have read all I can find. I am trying to set up wirelessly and it is driving me insane. I have three Dahua DH ipc hdbw13a0en w cameras with fast 100+gb sims. I have reset and use the config tool while wired to my network and set up the cameras to use static IPs and wifi. All...

    Onboard Flash vs NVR?

    Ah, well that explains one thing anyway....Amex gave me the sellers contact info which I assumed was Alibaba and so when I called and got a de-listed personal voicemail I thought "how unprofessional that a multi-billion dollar business cannot even have a real customer support number"...

    Dahua best microSD cards - suggestions?

    That may be but they billed me right away nonetheless.... I will post with any new info but for now I have to contest payment with Amex (not so bad - except I really needed to get this up by Jan 1 so tried to get Aliexpress to at least tell me if it was on its way).

    Onboard Flash vs NVR?

    AVOID ALIexpress!!!! Never got mine but was billed. Ali customer service is crap - cannot even find the order after 3 people, escallation etc - painful. They wanted my credit card to order another one from the same vendor to solve the issue..... I don't think so.... Any other suggestions from...
