I used these for the cable coming out of the soffit to the camera mount location. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000T13DBS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

OP is using H.265 encoding, best practices are to use plain H.264, not H.264B, not H.264H. And IMHO, don't mix encoders (some cams H.264, some cams H.265), Blue Iris doesn't seem to tolerate that well. All cameras set to H.264. Use CBR, match FPS and iframe. Set at least 8192 Mb/s for 8MP. Do...

Great info! Thanks!

Exactly my plan. I need to configure 3 cameras at my house, then my dad is going to install them tomorrow at a different house while I am at work, so I want to have the cameras ready to go when I give them to him.

Is there any reason I can't configure a new camera at one location for installation at another location as long as I assure it is a unique IP address or use DHCP then change to static when at the final location?

FYI, iperf is another great tool to check bandwidth between two NICs to diagnose issues.

You may have a better path forward by describing what your issue is. Provide all the camera information. If your camera is connected to an NVR, best practices is to pull the camera off of the NVR and diagnose the camera only. Immediately going to a firmware update may mask or make an issue...

I'll risk the wrath of the forum and actually make one more recommendation from personal experience and best practices found on this site. I'll hazard a guess this is a newer experience for you. This is why I recommended checking the camera first before adding to the NVR. I had a whole system...

I have a few of the 1831E in service. This is off topic, but I would recommend leaving on the 2.622 firmware. For the 1831E's I updated to 2.8x, the camera bitrate runs about 2.5 times higher than whatever I set it to. Many here recommend if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I found other...

Congratulations on getting them to work and finally hitting on the right combo!

You could always try a VM using an older OS if that would expand your options. Another option to consider would be to treat the camera as if it were bricked and hack it to reload a firmware and default settings. But you'd have to have a firmware. I think someone more familiar with this process...

I don't know how many OEMs Q-See used as suppliers. When I had my Q-See cameras, the models I had just happened to have been supplied by Dahua. When I started researching into information and issues, is when I first stumbled on this site. Manufacturers are not exactly forthcoming with where...

I have not used this, but had it bookmarked in the event I ever needed to replace a powerline adapter. You're looking for an affordable replacement for the Logitech powerline adapter, which works on the Homeplug AV v1 standard. You can use this, but it works on the G.hn standard, so you would...

There is only one AV rated drive that I am aware of that is even available, the WD AV-25 WD10JUCT. It is a 1TB drive. It is an older drive and will not give you the performance of an optimized current drive such as the WD Purple series.

wittaj, before I answer, can I send you a PM with some additional details that will affect my answers? BTW, I don't know how to send a PM

I got around to installing my SD49225XA-HNR about a month ago, after having purchased from Andy a couple months before that. I've been dialing it in for it's application, but I get a rolling shutter effect at any setting of 1/120 or above. The higher the shutter setting, the worse it gets. I...

I went thru the NVR web interface by using the LAN address. Click the info tab. I have a Q-See 858 (white), which is equal to a Dahua NVR4108-8P V1, circa 2016. I may not even have 3 series interface. I don't really know, I stopped using the NVR some years ago. Your model is much newer with...

You can stick down your current path, this is just FYI, this is what I was looking for on the system/version page, this is on mine. You have what you need for now, no big deal.

8MP cameras are also called 4K, you don't have 8K cameras. I used "Duck-Duck-Go-Search-Fu". Correct, I may have pointed you to the wrong page for the info, or just thought I saw something I didn't. Regardless, you have possession of the user manual for your NVR now, and a path forward. Please...

Here you go. This looks like it. https://usermanual.wiki/Q-See/QcNvrManualV3Web.1114890936.pdf

I'll have to check mine later and see if I can provide an example and where it is. Even if it's not what I think it is, I will just default to matching up visually and by features.

Odd. When I click the same link, it starts downloading a .zip file. It may not be that page in the NVR. I'm not in a spot where I can look into my NVR, but if it's like mine, I believe somewhere, in some information, is an alphanumeric string, and I believe it starts with "NVR" Kinda poke...

Your NVR probably has 3 series firmware. I doubt you are on 4 series because of when that NVR was on market. Here is an excellent resource for the NVR interface. I will still try to find a manual for the hardware aspect. I just thought of something else that would keep me from just searching...

Looks like a pretty decent NVR. I'll try to match this to a Dahua model today for a user manual. Dahua Wiki (scroll down to software section) Your need for a config tool may not be as high if you set each camera up as an individual network device, then add to the NVR via the IP address. Up...

Possibilities: https://www.q-see.com.au/support/ https://www.q-see.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/QTView_IPNVR_Guide_v2.pdf Also see under software and tools section for Mac OS software. These may be of help. If they're not, we'll try to match with the Dahua model for resources.

The QSee I got is everything --no Dahua at all. The only config tool I could find was from Dahua and I read in another thread here that QSee often used Dahua cams, so just went that way. I don't think I ever found any resource for a QSee config tool. In all my searching, I can't even find a...

I'm going to have to copy some of your post into mine so I can address your questions one at a time. I'm assuming if I get into the guts and am able to assign a static IP, that if I disconnect from the switch, it will stay, correct? That I'm altering something inside the cam software. Yes, in...

This is just my personal preference, but also aligning to best practices from this site, is to not have the NVR command the settings for the cameras, i.e. not "plug-and-play", configure all settings on each camera. You can still use the NVR for recording if you wish. I personally find...

I would think best practices for anything electrical would be to match the volt and amps of the camera. Oddly, I do not own one of these devices. The Dahua documentation for the 1831E only list DC12V, no amp value. The Q-See documentation says DC12V 1A. I do not know if this is standard, nor...

If #13 won't power up via POE, the only other way to get to the factory default process is if you powered the camera via the DC connector, but there are no guarantees on that. (But an alternate power source is good to have for troubleshooting purposes) Glad I could help.
