    SmartPSS refusing to start win10 - SOLVED

    About 6 weeks ago I updated windows to latest release candidate version 21H1. After that I had to authorise SmartPSS at each start, from an admin account. (PIA). A few times in the last week when I would switch to a running instance of SmartPSS it would glitch out and freeze the machine while...

    Improve deployment

    What an unusual way to mount that camera. I tend to mount them the the IR lights above the lens or if vertical install with the lens being orientated closer than the IR to the action. I would try putting the camera in the lights up orientation first. If no improvement I would remove wall...

    Ideas for Carpark CCTV with Strobe light / siren

    For sonic alert I would use a "white sound reversing alarm". You are probably familiar with the regular beep beep beep reversing alarms on trucks. Recently in London and noticed all lorries (trucks) using white noise reversing alarms. Hell of a lot less annoying but much easier to spatially...

    Recommendations of a POE switch(4+ port) for home use

    Responded to OP privately but will post here for future reference. I have bought these in many regions and in some of those energy efficiency was highlighted by stickers on the shrink wrap. I am talking about OECD countries who have strict laws concerning truth in advertising, such as...

    Recommendations of a POE switch(4+ port) for home use

    Installed many of them and even use them myself. Price is the only thing to consider in your list of requirements. Whatever you do don't buy the Dahua PFS3110-8P-96 as I don't believe they meet advertised spec.

    Searched and searched but cant find answers..

    The best way to determine if they are international is to search for them on Dahua's site. If you can work your way through getting your cameras working on your current gear, may I suggest that you look into Mikrotik network gear. As per CCTV there is a learning curve but you will not find...

    Searched and searched but cant find answers..

    Unless you can find the firmware on Dahua's site or you can get from your original supplier, I wouldn't risk it. Got a smile about the brown box bit because that would have to be easiest thing to copy. UPnP disabling is good a good first step as is changing the default ports and passwords...
