Congrats on the 7 Years andy and also on your new bundle of joy of a baby! I have sent you a bunch of money since 2017 and I will be sending more money for more cams! Just cant get enough lol

Thanks for this! I put my order in for one of these last month and I been waiting patiently for it which thank goodness I have been. Andy told me shortly after I ordered that it would be a while wait and that you were getting yours ahead of me for review and testing, and im glad to be waiting...

Im sitting over here waiting patiently for mine to come in :blankstare:... I ordered from Andy a week or two ago this new one also. Im looking forward to seeing Wildcat's opinion and then hopefully mine gets shipped soon so I can throw my thoughts on it out there and see how well it performs.

I have been using a TP-Link TL-SG1008MP V2 since 2017 and I have never had any problems with it. My dad has a couple of the same model that I use also and hes been using his for about 3 years now with no problems either along with another friend who has used the TP-link POE switch. It powers...

I think I came across that post a few days ago, what brand is the EPOE switch that you are using? and odd that the 2nd camera is only 2ft from the switch but not working like it should.

Will do. Would you happen to have any recommendations on what types of fiber optic cable or RF Links and links to narrow down what I would need? Also how does the Dahua Technology PFT1300 PoE Passive Extender fair against the extender that "Samplenhold" posted above?

Thank you for that link. It is up there in price just for that but as he said, if it gets the job done then he doesn't mind to pay that. For the work we did, it is temporary for 2 to 3 months until he gets his newly built house complete and then we are taking down the cat5 cabling thats...

So I been looking through 10+ pages of threads on this forum but haven't found much result except for this topic which for my situation, its not for a PTZ but if im able to in the future use a PTZ then im all for it.. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-ptz-with-poe-extender.28822/ What I...

Wonder if the Dahua NVR's or even the cameras have this functionality built in somewhere? I've searched for it and can't find nothing anywhere.

Anytime I reboot my NVR which is usually just once or twice a month, the clock (with the live timestamps in each corner of each camera) resets and I have to manually set it each time. I have the NTP checked and unchecked and it does not seem to help any. Also the time zone always defaults...

Which Trendnet model adapter is that? Im looking into getting one if it works pretty good.

Is the Dahua PTZ's intelligent? looks like its automatically focusing on where there is movement and then zooming in. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

Good deal! One more question, are these loud? And would it be noticeable to hear, lets say if you put it in a bedroom?

Im thinking of getting one of these, but I read a few people saying it can eat up power, well... any switch can eat up a power bill. Just wondering if there is a big difference on kilowatt usage and if anyone has seen a substantial spike in there electric bills?
