    VPN and ASUS RT-AC68U .... Standard Firmware or DD-WRT or Tomato

    Keep in mind there have been a dozen ASUS router firmware updates over the span from November 2017 through February 2019 (382.1 - 384.9). Several of which have been complex enough to need a full factory reset and reconfiguration from scratch afterward. The ASUSWRT-Merlin flavor seems to...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I own three of the HDW5231R-Z cameras purchased from @EMPIRETECANDY over a year ago. When they were new I updated the firmware to 2.460.0000.7.R, Build Date: 2017-03-06. In general the cameras work fine and have not missed a day since installation. The night focus is not overly sharp compared...

    SmartPSS won't launch

    I run SmartPSS V2.02 on two desktop machines and one laptop without problem. All are running 64 bit Windows 10 Professional. The account I used to install the program had administrative privileges. When SmartPSS was run for the first time it asked to setup a login name and password.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I would really like to question the terminology being used. I doubt very seriously if you "installed" a VPN on your Asus router. Most likely you enabled a feature in the firmware of your router and once enabled you proceeded through a configuration process. The term "installed" leads one to...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I am far from a VPN expert but I can tell you my story. Using Open VPN on Android to connect to a Netgear R7000 router. Had a working and successful connection with gDMSS for the past couple of months. Last week there was an update for Open VPN for Android and it killed my connection. There...

    VPN Problems via ASUS Router

    The device at the end of your fiber, by whatever name you want to call it, has an IP address and depending on the device it may also be acting as a router. Do you connect the internet into your ASUS AC68U via Ethernet cable?

    VPN Problems via ASUS Router

    I am using a Netgear R7000 router that has OpenVPN as a feature. Each time I make a change to the configuration on the router I have to save the changes and generate a new configuration file for the client machine. On Android I have to import the new configuration file into the Android client...

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    The firmware in mine is unbranded, no Dahua logo and it does provide the option to switch from PAL to NTSC. In the SmartPSS program the camera shows up as IP PTZ DOME. Thank you.

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    I too have one of the older SD22204T-GN cameras. The firmware version is 2.400.0000.4.R.T1.484, build : 2015-06-07. I never did try to upgrade the firmware because I had no specific reason to do so. Would also be curious as the the "most recent" firmware version for the older cameras.

    Question on router logs?

    I have a Netgear AC1900 router installed as part of my LAN. The OpenVPN server option is enabled and configured so I can access my ip cameras while away from home. It seems to work satisfactory. Occasionally I look at the router logs and have found something I cannot identify and do not...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    You are making way way too much out of that hole. Each of my cameras came with a white silicone rubber insert that plugged the hole if you chose to not run a wire through it. Otherwise if you loose the plug a small amount of white silicone caulk would do the same thing.

    Setting up my new Dahua system and I can't see the cameras on the network

    Based on your client list, the item that starts out with DESKTOP-9D9.... is most likely a Windows 10 computer. It would help to shut off some of your hardware, full power down with the cord pulled from the outlet, to free up some of the IP addresses until you get your camera static IP's assigned.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Yes, I did switch from PAL to NTSC without any problems. That was not the primary reason for the update. The factory shipped firmware had undergone two upgrades due to security concerns. Here is my current firmware and I believe it is the most recent. 2.460.0000.7.R, Build Date 2017-03-06.
