    Does my computer Cat5 go to POE then POE cable out to computer? Or only 1 out of POE into router, and computer cat5 directly to router? I have BI camera contact now for a few seconds , then it loses signal, and then comes on again, In and Out. Headway :) The attached settings work but freeze...

    I changed the ipv4 address to 192.168.0.100 and left the DNS server blank that was below the ipv4 info. I also connected the computer directly to the POE along with the camera. I had BI search for the camera when I left the ip blank and it found nothing. Do I need to install the little mini...

    Dahua Starlight HDW4231 and BI

    How do I diagnose the problems I am having? What would be the simplest test to make sure my camera is hooked up to the system. My POE #2 slot has 3 lighted LEDs where this camera in question is plugged into. This dahua does not need the 12 volt adapter plugged in correct? It just runs from the...

    Review: HDMI Over 75 Ohm Coax / HDMI Over Cat 5 / HDMI Splitter

    Do you leave your bedroom TV on at night as a monitor? Or are any of your TVs just used as monitors 24/7?

    LED monitors 24/7

    I was thinking of putting up two 21" monitors that will be constantly on, one in my bedroom and one in the kitchen. Since my dedicated BI computer will be in a closet with no monitor. I will get an hdmi splitter and run it from the computer to the two viewing monitors. I could run the hdmi...

    Thieves take computer

    The card records when triggered only? The card records 24/7? When the card fills up does it just start recording over old footage?

    Thieves take computer

    If a thief takes my dedicated Blue Iris computer hooked up to my 2MP Dahua Starlights will the micro SD card inside the Dahua start recording as a backup? Is that the only time the sd card will kick in and start recording? Or does it always record when the camera is triggered, and is redundant.

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Where would be the optimal location to place my 2 Dahua IPC-HDW4231EM-AS. Notice the 3 lights that come on at dusk. I was thinking location 3 and 7, although position 4 seems important also. Position 3 is not a corner but an angled wall pointing to the driveway.The bushes can be trimmed down a...

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    I searched SD card info as to why use one if you are recording to your HD. Can someone explain to why I might need SD cards ? I can only think of a possible computer shutdown and the SD cards will keep recording. Is this the reason? What size SD would be good for the HDW4231 ? Is it mini or just...
