    Can you follow this link to see whether your settings are propagated to the registry (eg \\dchp\configuration) as per Is it possible to configure a static IP alternative for all adapters using the registry? ?

    VPN speed much lower than expected

    Okay, so let's work around these numbers. That graph shows us around 800-900 KB/s, which is, times 8, 6400Kbps, so 6.4Mbps. For a hardwired line of 15-20Mbps, that is not really skyhigh. What happens if you go to less encryption and higher compression. Compression can be counterproductive (but...

    VPN speed much lower than expected

    You are welcome! What you càn do in the meanwhile: in ASUS you can deploy a second VPN server (instance_2), off course on another port than instance_1. You can then download the client1-instance2.ovpn file through the WAN webportal (which I suspect you opened as you can see the ASUS usage...

    VPN speed much lower than expected

    Hi @llarsx, you can actually tweak a lot with OpenVPN, which may/may not have an impact on your situation: pick another encryption algorithm: the more complex, the higher the work for the ASUS, the slower the connection. An indication is the CPU usage when you download footage. pick UDP...

    initialization of IP cam from a remote desktop

    Hello @piconut, goodmorning! Indeed, Windows tries to outsmart people who are playing network tricks. This validation is triggered because you are trying to create a subnet that is not connected to a valid gateway/router to phone home to the internet. This would be great for a grandfather who...

    Is your camera connected on an NVR with POE? If yes, use the NVR GUI to update that camera through the UI of the NVR!

    initialization of IP cam from a remote desktop

    Howdy Austin! First question from my side: did you specify Configtool to actually look into the 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 range? Because configtool can do some magic hocus pocus and look into other subnets. If that does not work, what I would do on that remote pc: go into network...

    IVS false positives

    With ^^ --> you do not have a "min" target box defined. Start with that. Secondly, your left vertical IVS line seems to give the impression it can "look behind" the corner. It can't. so if you would hide behind that wall, it would notice you "little too late". I would either draw a zigzag, or...

    Beach House Upgrade

    Hi @Armysurplus, I hope you are fine! Do you have power on that pole? Then you might try to hook up a the "smallest" switch there is, powerfeed your 3 cams on the pole itself and install a "powerline" adapter, which transfers ethernet packets across any power cable into your house. Not fully...

    Live camera on a cell tower

    Wauw! If camera zooms in to the end, the image is sooo wobby, is that because of the wind on the tower/cam? Who is controllling zoom? It does not seem to be AI triggered?

    That's all "relative". If you would export your old backup, and there are unknown parameters, or badly formatted settings (eg date/time), you might indeed end up with a dirty system. I do save those config backups to, just in case, but as with many IT systems, what helps is "documentation"...

    FW upgrade DH-NVR4116-8P

    No, that's the complexity Dahua (and other vendors) are imposing to disencourage people flashing other (native?) firmwares with more capabilities. But from your first post, you would go from 3.200.0000.8.R to v3.203.0000.0.r which is not that "wooooooow", so I don't think you would gain many...

    FW upgrade DH-NVR4116-8P

    If you clicked on my link provided, checked the NVR tab, you could effectively find the same file-name (dh_nvr4xxx_eng_p_v3.203.0000.0.r.20170612.bin), but I would trust that more than a "reseller" (who might or might not have put his logo in the firmware). Finding another person who might have...

    FW upgrade DH-NVR4116-8P

    Oh, it is really safe to use any random firmware you find on the internetz ;-) Off course you should not download anything shady! At least download it from Dahua itself: Firmwares But no-one on this forum can guarantee your NVR will survive this firmware upgrade. Why would you even think to...

    Dahua NVR5216-16 IPC Offline all cameras

    Couple of things: it does not seem to be a "wiring" issue as all camera's go down at the exact same problem. Which might indicate the POE power supply might be failing. What I would do: top-right you got icons to logoff - reboot - shutdown. You might opt to give it a gentle reboot. Do not opt...

    Looking for automation around temperature monitoring

    Great post! I also have "upgraded" my raspberry pi with ESP32's with DS18B20's, being so tiny, they provide decent IoT capabilities for these stupid temperature measurement tasks!

    NVR and Camera Roles with IVS / Motion

    My suggestion is to try-before-you-buy I mean implement: ask a friend/hubby/neighboor to take position on the curb/driveway/patio and open SmartPSS. You'll see the blue drawbox (object detection) being drawn. That's your "aim". This helps you drawing your minsize and maxsize frames too. But more...

    Dahua firmwares sources?

    Hi @dinmatrix, so I did some research on your camera, as I do not have an HDBW5300 myself. The good news is, you did not flash, at first glance, an incorrect firmware. You have downloaded (the third one at least) a DH_IPC-HX5(4)XXX-Adreia_Eng_P_Stream (and not a Volt or Rhea one). But the...
