    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I don't have a 12VDC supply. I can change the switch and computer to anything you want me to, but it has to be PoE for power

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Just my PoE switch. The two cams with odd numbers are not working now, but show up with the config tool. Meaning BI is not working now. But I can log into the switch with the new IP AND I just tried to look at the other cams using the Amcrest software and it did not work either.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    My switch in on DHCP so that won't work right. So I just changed my switch to 192.168.1.27 with DHCP disabled, change computer IP to 192.168.1.100 and my browser still can't see 192.168.1.108. I use the config tool and still see my other two Amcrest PTZ cams 192.168.50.13 and 192.168.50.14 but...

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Found out more today: Got all my Amcrest PTZ cams and the wifi working with BI running without issue using my new switch. But the SD1A404XB-GNR still a no-go. It's not showing up on the switch or in the ConfigTool that Andy gave me to download. I did not try the browser to look for the camera...

    Dahau SD1A404XB-GNR going out of focus

    Thank you so much. So I'm guess something is wrong with my cam. I've tried an injector first, then my new PoE switch. Thanks again.

    Dahau SD1A404XB-GNR going out of focus

    When you power up this camera, does it do anything? Like move the ptz around. Or does act like it's dead in the water until you setup your IP stuff. I have Amcrest PTZ indoor cams and when they boot up, its moves the cam around back and forth once and then stops. I've have my own post going, but...

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I guess my real question is, the ptz cam would at least power up right, like ptz would move, ir would click on and off? It's not doing that. I need to know that first before moving on to rebuilding my network. FYI- I powered up my Amcrest with the same cables and ports. I obviously did not see...

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    It's a new switch and only have the one cam to test before I put up the others. Forgot about it but I did try my PoE injector first but thought it might be under powered because it did not work. Just tried another port and another short store bought cat5e with a no go.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Both the computer and managed switch are on 192.168.0.239. I had to make them the same to see the switch. Cables are all store bought. And did try a smaller one. No, the switch shows a open port in testing, and zero bytes activity. I just wanted to see the camera before I move on.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Althought it warm to touch after setting a while, so power is getting to it. My new to me, never used Netgear JGS524PE is up and running now, I got to power up my Amcrest PoE cams using 4 different cables that I had using three cat 5e and one cat5. And all worked on that cam. None worked with...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    What are you all powering this thing with??? Just bought this on the BF sales. Been collecting items to build security system and looks like I bought the wrong switch.

    Dahua new AI and WizSense models for wildlife (Few Demos)

    Holly cow, that's a bummer. I was wondering about this when they started getting smarter. I have some cheap cams that use around my house to watch the wild critters along with my critters. Otherwise, I won't have any.

    Excellent Service and products

    I own a few foscam/amcrest, how do they compare? Are you wowed? LOL I can't sleep most nights lately and it was a cloudless night with the moon out. I was laid there wondering how much better these starlight cams were. I live out in the boonies with ZERO light. So I can't really seem much.

    Mounting on Vinyl Siding

    Some good ideas. With today's age, you would think we would have more options. Anyone else have a great way to mount cams to different areas of vinyl wrapped homes. I want to do an outer corner to mount a PTZ.

    Long Time Lurker, Never Heard That Before Right?

    Hello all, I'm finally gotten around to say hi. I joined two years ago this month and before that, I stopped by once or twice to do some quick reading.

    Computer recommendation for 7 HD cameras with BlueIris

    Attaching the drive to eSATA or a SATA connector will provide you with better performance overall, and greatly reduce CPU usage (CPU is interrupted only when needed with the SATA controller as the controller does all the work instead). Now I don't know if you will notice the different or not. I...

    Computer recommendation for 7 HD cameras with BlueIris

    Just politely asking, do you have special powers to get these at that great price? Or can we learn a thing or two from you on buying wholesale? (with the assumption I have one or two brain cells left to do so) :)
