    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Guys - Not sure if I just bricked my RCA or not. After installing with the default RCA Security App, I then upgraded it to the stock latest firmware available successfully before doing anything else. Then I downloaded the Batch Config, and the HikVision firmware, and hit upgrade.... of which...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It's been sometime since I've checked out the doorbell camera scene. At the time, there weren't any good options, so I stuck with my 5 cameras on the house, and installed a Ring Doorbell. It's the Ring Video Doorbell 2, which came with different plates to match the color of the house, plus...

    Dahua 5231 - Can't Initialize

    Your NVR will most likely get a assigned a DHCP value from your router then, assuming you’re planning to hook the nvr into your network. The NVR will also act as a DHCP server, so... in theory you could just set the camera to assign itself via DHCP, or you could assign it a static IP. It’s...

    Dahua 5231 - Can't Initialize

    169.254.155.xx is the standard IP address assigned to an Ethernet card in Windows when it’s not hooked up to a DHCP server. Your router is a DHCP server, unless you have done some super fancy networking configuration, but I’m guessing by your questioning that this is not the case. Are you...

    Dahua 5231 - Can't Initialize

    You need to be on the same subnet as the camera when configuring it. In otherwords, your IP needs to be 192.168.1.x to connect to the 192.168.1.108 default address, unless your router specifically has a route setup between the 192.168.2 subnet and the 192.168.1 subnet which I'm guessing it...

    First Blue Iris Setup - Motion / Zones Help

    Thanks I did setup the G Zone, and i did watch the videos, and go through the help file, but I still don't think this is completely working the way I thought.... I'm still kind of confused. As I alluded to, I'm trying to run different profiles. Green (Active), Red, and the Yellow one. Green is...

    First Blue Iris Setup - Motion / Zones Help

    You're right - the first image I shared, I didn't have it updated, but it's updated now. I'm going to test it. The vehicles on their way home today both tripped it as expected... which was a good thing. Also do you know if you can do 3 zone cross scenarios? As in DCA>B? Or is it limited to 2?

    First Blue Iris Setup - Motion / Zones Help

    As an example... I just happened to be looking at my live feed... There was a lady walking her dog from the edge of the screen on the left (Zone D) all the way over by Zone E.... Not once did I see a box drawn or any type of detection / sensing to indicate it was at least tracking her... and...

    First Blue Iris Setup - Motion / Zones Help

    Hi everyone - So admittedly this is my first Blue Iris / security camera setup ever, and I'm not sure I'm setting up the motion detection / triggers appropriately as I'm virtually getting nothing sent to my mobile phone anymore since initial setup (2 days ago) when I had it sending me basically...

    CISCO Managed SG 500-28 / Pool DHCP help

    Hi everyone - It's been some time since I worked on a CISCO Switch / router (like 2000'ish). I have it working just fine as a standalone on the same network at the moment, but I'm trying to configure it with a separate VLAN / DHCP for my IP Cameras. In otherwords, it currently has an uplink...

    Dahua 5231 - Can't Initialize

    I just ordered 5 5231's from @EMPIRETECANDY which I received yesterday (THANK YOU!). I'm trying to get them setup 1-by-1 here first with the latest firmware, and then modified to my specific IP addresses I want. However... I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I can't get them initialized. I get...

    First System - Would Like Some Help Architecting

    Yep... the RCA seems like the most promising, but again... no 2-way comms. Unless someone convinces me otherwise, I think i'm sticking with my Ring 2 and will just manage it as a separate app. It's not a primary means of "surveillance" anyways.

    @Ford Do you think this is only a matter of time, or do you think it will never happen?

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I don't have one yet... but I would venture to guess, that you could disassemble, and disconnect one of the leads of the speaker... or worst case... de-solder it from the board.

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Any issues with the LaView working with electronic (wired) doorbell / chime? I currently have a Ring 2 hooked up, and I'm debating between the LaView and RCA. Not really sure which one to go with. As long as I can get it connected to Blue Iris, and have the notifications sent to my phone like...

    Well big plug to @EMPIRETECANDY. I’ve ordered 5 5231s to start with (I know I’ll need more, but there’s some primary areas I want to get covered first). I’ve been monitoring the doorbell thread, but the options kind of suck. The primary purpose is really just for 2-way communication and...

    Planning my CAM / Doorbell setup - Blue Iris

    Well - I've landed on a few things solid over the past few days. I'm going with the 5321 Cams around our home, with blue iris. I currently have a Ring Doorbell 2, which is pretty sufficient but within the return period. I'm trying to figure out what options I have for Blue Iris compatibility...

    You are the man... [emoji106] now I just need to order the cameras and the doorbell. I sent a PM to the guy mentioned above. Waiting on a reply. Is he and the amazon guy the same guy / similar pricing? I don’t have a link to the amazon seller’s store. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First System - Would Like Some Help Architecting

    Super helpful! I did read the cliff notes, and everything seems pretty straight forward as you've laid out. Question.... if I run a Blue Iris system. for between 4-8 cameras (let's split it down the middle and say I go with 6 of the 4231 or 5231 cameras)... I have a bunch of slightly older...

    First System - Would Like Some Help Architecting

    Hi everyone - I've been reading up a bit on "Blue Iris" as a software, and I think it's what i'm looking for, but not 100% sure. I'm trying to design an outside security system for our home and have been looking at several "systems" but being an IT guy, and working for an IT Security company...
