    Thank you to everyone who has replied, especially @alastairstevenson & @pozzello I've finally figured it out :) After entering the IP address 'Network IP camera configuration' page & pressing 'find/inspect' I just carried on with how the configuration was auto-filled without checking it The...

    Daft question, but bear with me ....

    Hello @alastairstevenson OK, I've done what you said and waited for the router to assign an IP address for both new Uniview camera's, and this it has done on my own network assigning the 4th extensions as 27 & 34 respectively for each Entering these assigned IP addresses into a browser...

    Daft question, but bear with me ....

    Hi Alastair - thank you for your kind reply I have tried setting the IP address of 3 different PC's to the same IP as listed in the camera instructions. The switch shows both lights illuminated above the RJ plug, and if I cover the lense the IR illuminator activates I have tried EZStation...

    NUC pc's

    They're a clever design but not sure they're suited to an always-on CCTV system I considered buying one for my caravan (think travel trailer in US/Canada) but was put off by the excessive price £300/£350 Decided instead on a SFF Dell with additional 2Gb graphics card, 2nd hand on eBay for £50

    Daft question, but bear with me ....

    Daft question, but bear with me ....

    Hello Alastair Thank you for the additional information - the camera is a Uniview (aka Zhajiang Uniview Co Ltd) - once installed it will be a sealed system running both software & hardware firewalls and won't be connected to remotely I've tried a Hikvision camera & its SADP tool - really...

    Dell Optiplex VS HP Compaq for a Blue Iris machine

    HP has, for me, always been held with the same low esteem as Toshiba for PC's . Both my previous HP & Tosh laptops made pretty poor frisbees yet still had better functionality as a frisbee than as a PC Dell on the other hand have always been rock solid performers, either laptop or desktop...

    Which system?

    Thread update : Got both the 4MP QVIS camera's up & running now - a bit of messing about but really impressed by the picture quality & low (no) light IR illumination Far better than the Hikvision turret which, try as I might, my system just won't see Lesson learnt here I think - stay away...

    Really struggling with SADP

    Hello all I've just bought a Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD - I camera but for the life of me I cannot connect it via SADP It is set to the default Hikvision IP (192.168.1.64) but no matter what I try it is just not seeing it. It also doesn't show up under Angry IP scanner What is confusing is that...

    Picking the Right Cable?

    When I laid a conduit underground, I took advice from an elderly neighbour & former groundsman. I used blue alcathene pipe (flexible, but not much !) and before I backfilled the trench put a hefty dose of salt around & over the conduit Many years later, whilst digging again near the conduit it...

    Non-pc based system

    You're preaching to the educated @fenderman :) My home BI setup is a dedicated 6th gen i7 with 8Tb storage and a 16-port switch (8 port POE) in a dedicated custom server rack using a 42 inch smart tv via HDMI as its monitor, etc ..... He's plans to install his CCTV system in a utility room...

    Non-pc based system

    On the one hand @fenderman, I agree - but an NVR is truly 'standalone', Blue Iris isn't A BI licence without a PC to run it on, with sufficient storage, a separate POE switch, possibly a patch panel ....... it all adds up to a lot of tech which if you aren't interested in is a lot more...

    Non-pc based system

    I hear what you're saying @fenderman, but he seems to just want a simple standalone set it & leave it system He's got a busy family life and I don't think he wants to approach it from a CCTV/ hobbyist angle - we're all different :)

    Non-pc based system

    Hello all, A good friend of mine would like to set up a domestic CCTV system, but unlike mine which is PC/BlueIris based, he wishes to use a standalone NVR, without any PC connection Installing an set of IP camera's with POE, may I ask to those who know : Do the camera's connect directly to...

    What dash cam are you using?

    I've been using a Nextbase 512 here in the UK for coming up on 3 years now Suction cup install behind & just below the rear view mirror. It autostarts and after 3 mins displays a VERY useful GPS speedometer
