    Wifi Bridge for Multiple Cameras?

    Thanks for your response, please bear with me as I explain. I’d love to get you input so if there’s a better way to do this please don’t hold back! If I run 4 cameras and a NVR, am I right to think that I would have to run four Ethernet cables from a NVR to each ePOE port (one to each camera)...

    Wifi Bridge for Multiple Cameras?

    I have four Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras and I was hoping to set them up so I could run power to each camera and have each camera record to a micro SD card on motion(no NVR), and transmit each camera over a WiFi bridge. That's four cameras, each with their own WiFi bridge all connected over...

    Bridge for NVR Video over WiFi?

    I'm using Dahua cameras that will be connected to a Dahua NVR (haven't settled on a NVR just yet). I can't connect my NVR to a modem directly but I do have a WiFi signal and would like to see the footage when a motion event occurs remotely on my phone. I've seen some bridges that need to be on...

    The Right NVR For My Needs?

    I've read a ton on this site the last couple weeks and picked my cameras (Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E) and microphones, but I need help picking a device to record all my footage. Everything will be run off a solar setup at a cabin off grid, so most likely 12V but I could do 24V if I really had too...

    NVR Choice and POE Distance

    That might be possible. It's probably half a mile distance to the nearest house so I might be able to manage that. I'll have to do some research into the nano station, I haven't looked at them at all. I guess it would come down to power. If powering the cameras and sending all the video over a...

    NVR Choice and POE Distance

    Thank-you I didn't know this! I guess that means it will be on all the time.

    NVR Choice and POE Distance

    Yep, I can add a few large 12V batteries and solar panels to keep them charged, and if I really need to I can switch out 12V batteries every day or every couple days

    NVR Choice and POE Distance

    I wasn't aware of this, why wouldn't that work? I can't swap a new hard drive out of the NVR and bring the hard drive with footage on it home to see everything? Or perhaps as a work around I can connect my laptop in the field, transfer everything to the laptop that I want, and then leave the...

    NVR Choice and POE Distance

    I have a couple of the Dahua starlight IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras. I'm using these cameras to film wildlife in the woods and want to run a number of the Z12E cameras off large 12V batteries and have them record in the highest quality to single NVR. I have to use batteries because I'm off grid, I...

    Hi Andy, How many IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras are ready to ship right now? I'd like a quote for four cameras or the if there are less cameras available to ship, a quote for the number of cameras ready for shipping. If you provide me with a quote and I like it, how do I pay, exchange...

    Specific case and where is the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12?

    Good idea, I have considered it but I'd like to use this as a trail camera for the footage quality.

    Specific case and where is the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12?

    Thanks so much for the info and taking the time to respond. There is a fox den right behind my cabin and I'd like to record footage and audio of the activity around it. The "E" that means extended is really about the IR LEDs on the camera, which don't apply to me, is that correct?

    Specific case and where is the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12?

    I have a very specific setup requirement for setting up a security camera. I have a remote cabin with no power. I'd like to power the camera with a 12V battery and solar charger (that parts easy for me). I wanted an external mic and was going to wire the security camera to a PIR. When the PIR...
