    abnormal network....

    You say 'changed the ip on the camera and match it with the IP on the NVR', do you mean the NVR and Camera are both 192.168.1.20? If this is the case then this will not work, all devices must have a different IP address if on the same segment of the LAN. They should be on the same subnet though...

    How to setup Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I 4mm IP Camera on the DS-7716NI-SP/16 8 Channel NVR

    Is the DS-2CD2042WD-I a Chinese copy or local stock. I've only had a issue with one camera which was a Chinese import and that was resolved by doing a setting the camera to factory settings and connecting it to my POE ports, where it auto configured.

    NVR for Dahua IP Cameras - Recommendation

    If you're using Dahua cameras then stick with this brand for the NVR. I don't know much about these, but go for a large channel one. I know you think it'll only be four cameras for now, but you don't want to get down the line and want to add another, with this you will not be able to.

    Is there a mask to get the trim back onto a HIKVISION turret?

    Taken the camera down and tried it to no avail. The lugs on the cover are slightly scuffed, but nothing looks bent/broken. If I release the camera from the mount cover completely I can get it to go on, but other then that..

    Hik 2155F-IS pan tilt rotate??

    Does the lens itself not rotate too, my HIKVision dome allows that. It is stiff, but does move to bring the image level.

    best smart thermostat ?

    The Tado is a direct replacement for the Thermostat and I have the optional Extension box and that was a direct replacement for my timer unit. This is in the UK, so not sure about anywhere else. Works great, but yes you are dependent on an Internet Connection.

    best smart thermostat ?

    I use Tado and love it. I do only have a basic heating setup, but works really well for the water and central heating.
