    Why not 30 FPS?

    Its not really maxing anything out as much as some cheap cameras don't heat sink their processors well and it throttles back its clock speed to prevent its self destruction. fps does effect the processor's temperature, but its not maxing anything out besides what is wrong with a cheaply built...

    Why not 30 FPS?

    Correct. The only times I have seen 30 fps cameras not perform is either from networking hardware issues or a problem with the camera itself. I encountered it more on cheap cameras where I would get one out of 50 wouldn't do its 8MP@30fps.

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    There are too many flaws in the consumer versions of windows to host anything securely and its not due to this particular dotNet program.

    Delete the copy of the firmware and download a fresh copy of it from Hikvision: https://www.hikvision.com/my/products/Turbo-HD-Products/DVR/Pro-Series/DS-7208HGHI-F1-N/ Please note: do not use the Asia firmware as that is particular to those machines in Asia. Try installing the batch...

    Can I route POE cams through a separate POE switch?

    As a commercial installer I will tell you: The problem is: he is using a managed switch, which you should use an unmanaged switch and you can daisy chain two switches in tandem on each camera port. If his diagram was showing cameras on the computer network side, all they would do is assign it a...

    Can I route POE cams through a separate POE switch?

    Bridge mode doesn't do anything but join the camera network to the ethernet network. The camera ports are an unmanaged switch.

    Can I route POE cams through a separate POE switch?

    What you suppose to use is an unmanaged POE switch to expand camera ports. That is why you are having issues.

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    +1 with not using a mac to host an outside connection. There are lot of things you would have to turn off and secure and ones that Apple outdated, you better off installing windows server on a drive (then park the installation with sysprep /oobe), then install the drive in the mac computer. I...

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    That is why port forwarding is a bad practice. But as far as blue Iris, it has to be set up on windows server instead of the consumer windows and security setting set up like a web hosting where there is no firewall (except its own). with a public CA cert. Right now I need to get a new copy for...

    Stuck trying to select cameras for someone else

    I think an NVR is more secure than a VPN which are easily hacked. The thing people don't do what they should is regenerate the certificates in the NVR and cameras before connecting it to the internet. That is the only way I ever encountered someone hacking a NVR/camera system and was hired to...

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    The WD Purple drives are temperature stable, as I have put them in Hikvision's NVRs and put them in unconditioned storage sheds and they ran uninterrupted for years. I tried a Seagate one in one once it lasted a week.

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    In heavy use they will run as high as 70C. Its on their datasheet. They typically will give a 20C rise in case temperature in a normal case.

    going the NVR route and using its remote access would be better than making vpn on a network that you will be tasked to fix after someone hacks it or it malfunctions.

    Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop

    7200 rpm drives run at 120-150F and I wouldn't attempt running them in a case built like that. I would suggest getting a mid or full tower case and transplanting the computer into it, or get a mini tower like a Thermaltake Core V21 and attach it to the bottom of the existing case and run the...

    Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?

    The dual camera camera types still have the flaws of the seam in the middle. The best 180 degree cam I find to use is a fisheye. Like this Hikvision camera: DS-2CD6365G0E-I

    High traffic usage by NVR 4432 Dahua when Video Detection is enabled.

    NVRs, unless they have incorporated outbound compression, use typically 150-300Mbps on remote viewing from the network with software. Usually the web interface on the NVR is about 10% of this.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    But lets go to a meeting 12 years ago. where this chapter really began: This is where the mass murderers justified their bioterrorism in a somewhat controlled public view.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    You just don't understand how all of it works. Even though I know who and everything else, it doesn't matter to them because the others have to find out for themselves. If they are totally blocked, then I will initiate other things. Because they took my job away from me and gave it to Fauci, and...

    WiFi jammers reportedly being used by South American criminal gangs in their burglaries

    remember those cell boosters? They have a tendency to jam alarm panels. That is why you supposed to set up two different types of communications on an alarm panel.

    I wouldn't do any 'virtual tunneling' I'm just wondering if leasing an IP address, then splitting the WAN so your BI machine is on a static while your router and existing network stays DHCP WAN with its own IP would be more cost effective than paying no-ip for their services. Plus that would...

    Unfortunately its a special type for VPN only and its still a type of self signed system, but at least you do have control over the revocations, but they already got into the system by then. The difference is web browsers would have the CA address because its a known 'public trust server' so...

    New to CCTV - Can you give me an honest opinion on my plan please ?

    NVR with a UPs would be able to serve this. But with a computer trying to beat that setup as far as up time, I would recommend an inexpensive laptop with a Raid enclosure + UPS. I run both a NVR and Blue iris as a redundant system on two 1500W UPS (one each) and the NVR runs 12 hrs with the UPS...

    Installing larger than recommended HDD in computers?

    I buy drives from reputable sources like newegg because amazon is not a computer retail business and more of an internet 'flea market'

    Installing larger than recommended HDD in computers?

    No real issues, but I wouldn't use a 5400 rpm hard drive as the system drive and use the fastest type possible (M.2). The hardware specs of maximum capacity was published way before the drives came out and there is ways to make bigger drives work.

    DHCP or static?

    devices like printers, NAS, cameras I will static but I keep my cameras off my internet network. I run a cheap wieless router for my doorbell cam in access point mode connected to a camera input on the NVR.

    Building separate networks for home use

    Splitting WAN isn't a big deal as its done often in certain business data solutions. The question you will have to ask the ISP is if you can run a dhcp IP with a purchased IP because some of those systems use separate DNS servers (common for PPoe IP systems). The signal path is simple. All you...

    Setting up VPN/VLAN and Dual NIC

    shouldn't have to. Wan/Lan ports on those routers is a configurable port where its either a LAN port behind the firewall or a WAN port that is an outside connection with its own firewall as a redundant WAN connection .
