    ePOE Question

    I need to install a couple of cameras that will be approximately 400' from the NVR. I already plan on purchasing the ePOE Cameras but my NVR isn't ePOE compliant. Do I need do to do anything else or should this work? I plan to use the DH-IPC-HFW5231E-Z5E cameras.

    T-Mobile Asus AC1900

    Can anyone tell me the preferred way to setup the TM-AC1900 behind my U-verse Gateway? Currently I have the Uverse Router (192.168.1.254) --> Asus Router (192.168.29.1) -->POE Switch. Should I change the Asus router to the 192.168.1.x? Everything works currently but wanted to ensure I am...

    T-Mobile Asus AC1900

    I just purchased a T-mobile branded Asus AC1900 router to replace my ~10 year old router and setup a VPN. As I understand it this is the same unit as the Asus just re-branded, should I flash the firmware to standard Asus or Merlin before I even start? My end goal is to have a secure network...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Planning to purchase a new router today that is compatible for VPN use. It would appear the preferred router here is the Asus units, is the Asus RT-AC68U that much better than the Asus RT-AC66U_B1? Should I be looking at something else?

    Camera not recognized

    Ok, after resetting it on my home network where I use BI, I was able to access the camera. It appears it has a newer firmware than any of my other cameras. It required me to setup a 8 digit PW before anything else and never prompted me for the default ID/PW. Hopefully I can take it back to my...

    Camera not recognized

    When adding another camera to my Dahua NVR I receive a message "Please Initialize the Device". All of the other cameras I have setup were plug n play. This is a brand new camera from Andy, I tried to reset the password just in case but still can't get it to work. The NVR obviously sees the...

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2 Setup

    I just purchased a NVR5216-16P-4KS2 for use with ~8 Dahua cameras. My previous experience has been with a netgear swich and BI. Do I just plug all the cameras into the NVR and power it on or do I need to reconfigure each camera one at a time with a new IP before connecting it to the NVR? The...

    Looking for options to mount a couple of Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) on a 6x6 post mounted outdoors. Wanted to use the PFB203 mounts but it doesn't appear they have a method of running conduit into them. Does anyone have examples of how they have installed a similar situation? Post is...

    Preferred Settings

    I have recently purchased a couple of Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) for outdoors and a couple of Mini Wedge (IPC-HDBW4231F-AS) that I am installing in my home using BI for the NVR. It seems once they switch to night vision they tend to stay there regardless of the light settings. For...
