Awesome! I am now running my Dahua in BI. Thanks for all your help.

Great! Can you tell me what the default IP is for the Dahua DH-IPC-HFW1320S

I think I may have seen my fault. I currently have no router in the mix. My rusty brain has gotten the better of me. I was thinking I could setup a CCTV with just a Switch PC and Cam, then later move it to the web using a router, but I guess the router needs to set the IPs for the devices via...

@fenderman - TP Link TL-SF1008p @PSPCommOp - The side of the cam shows a mac address but no IP

Thanks fenderman - now how to go about finding the cameras IP without a gateway login. Or is there one for this switch that I don't know about.

I have never used FING. Do I just connect my smartphone via a usb and it will go out on the intranet to find all devices. Just an add of info this is currently a closed network. I am starting to doubt my networking skills, but I don't need anything else to talk between the PC and cam, just...

Ok I have a machine running Blue Iris I have a TP Link TL-SF1008P 8 port PoE switch I have a Dahua DH-IPC-HFW1320S I researched on these forums building this setup to start with. I hooked everything up to test the system. PC -> Switch with Cat5 non PoE port. Switch -> Cam with cat5 PoE port...

Planning to pick this up as long as it can handle what I want to do. Dell OptiPlex 7040 micro i5-6500T 6th Gen skylake 8GB 128GB SSD Windows 10 PRO I am looking to build a BI system that will easily handle 4 1080p 4MP cams. I want 24/7 recording, but only up to a weeks worth. Do I just buy...

So possibly this setup would be a good start: Dell Optiplex 7040 MICRO i7-6700T/8GB/500GB/Win10 Pro

Ok scrap the Costco ones. I have convinced myself to go the PC/BI route. Is this PC still valid HP Elitesdesk i5-4590 small form? Found it from a year old post.

If Lorex is rebranded Dahua is it cheap hardware? These will be for the outside. What kind of PC can handle 4-4MP cams with 24/7 recording for 1 week? Maybe suited for a separate post.

So I have been reading and searching and reading and searching. What I haven't found except for maybe two posts is a lot of talk on NVR complete rebranded systems. So I'm not sure if I am ready to drop $800 - $1000 on an optiplex/elitedesk with a Hikvision PoE and 3-4 cams. I am looking to...
