    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    The emails are working now and include a picture. I also get a 2nd email telling me that it is clear. I don't see a way to turn that off but certainly not a big deal. Thank you to everyone and especially @bigredfish for the help !!

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    I'm not using Gmail. I have my own domain at Ionos though now that I think about it, I should change it to the Gmail that I have setup for the HOA. I will look up that app pword setting. thank you !! I went in to change it, and noticed this...I guess the TEST works even when not enabled...

    Still not getting the email alerts thought the test email works.

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Bigredfish, ahhh, thank you. Didn't occur to me it needed to be in the camera. I was thinking it would just be an alert rather than an attached clip. I've set that now and will see how that works.

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    My tripwire IVS is working to record the cars driving in thru the exit. 1 of them even took the opportunity to have their passenger toss their drink cup onto the island...lovely. I've also realized I can set it to record both cameras when this triggers...so I get front and back. I've set it...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    I have followed your advice and used IVS to set tripwires. I have not set any scenes as I don't understand them yet. There are indeed a lot of alerts which is expected. These are the 2 entrance/exits for the HOA with 183 homes. I also expect I'll need to make adjustments. Mostly I'll just...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    @bigredfish and @wittaj , As always, thank you both for the very helpful info. I'll go into the camera settings and check. I'll try the intrusion zones rather than MD/SMD as per your suggestion. I have a camera system at the house which is working well. This system is the one setup at the...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    BTW... Very cool view. Perhaps it is connection related. It seems to be behaving better today. I am using a PTP wireless from my house to the entrance, which is where the NVR is. I was assuming a bad connection would skip frames or such but perhaps that isn't the case. I'm running ver...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    I am having an awful time using the browser with this NVR. For example, I go into Search, click in the bar at the bottom and the video will play for 15 sec then just stops. Sometimes if I click stop and can then try clicking in the timeline again, sometimes that won't do anything and I end up...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    @bigredfish thank you very much. It ended up being a supply issue when I was ordering and then the 8mp's were on sale so it seemed like a good idea at the time since the feature set was solid. I didn't think about the nighttime performance being negative. Thanks for the info on the zoom, I...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    ahh, thanks. Yep, I enabled IE mode and set the NVR page to use that. Plugin loads properly now however both Edge and Chrome. I also set tripwire in 1 direction for the 2 cameras that cover that exit to flag anyone driving in thru it. I wish there was a way to process the tags but I see in...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    I finally got the system installed and working. It'll need tuning of course but IT WORKS !! I ended up grabbing the T581R 8mg turret cams. Hopefully that doesn't end up being a mistake. The Mimosa wireless PTP got discontinued so I got 2 pair of the Nanostation AC Loco to handle that. I've...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    We would have 4 cameras (2 on each island) but I get your point. It looks like a very good tool but in practice our usage might be minimal. We do have someone that keeps using the exit side of the island to zoom past people coming thru the entrance. It seems like this might help me build a...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    You guys are awesome, thank you for the advice. The 741R is out of our price range, especially since we need 4 of them. We do plan to have lights aimed to (hopefully) make the tags visible at night. I'm not finding pricing on the Wizmind bullet cameras. I don't think looking thru the footage...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    hmm, now I'm concerned that I don't have the correct setup. Our HOA has 180 homes with 2 entrances so we have a fair amount of traffic. My plan was to place the cameras on the islands with 1 pointed in and another pointed out (the angles are excellent). The inward facing would get the front...

    I can't believe how long our grant and budgeting process has taken..but finally ready to move forward with this camera project. I'm looking to make the purchase of the NVR8CH-8P-2AI and the Z12E cameras. I notice that the camera doesn't list LPR in its feature list but the NVR does and WITTAG...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Thank you. I was thinking I would have to add something to assign DHCP to the other cameras. Not sure why I didn't think of just assigning static IP's. Simple enough solution. Also, thank you for the reminder on the total channels. I should be good since we're looking at 4-6 total.

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Hello, I have another question on the NVR8CH-8P-2AI. I know it can hand out DHCP on the built-in POE ports. Can it also hand out DHCP via its regular Ethernet port or can I attach a switch to one of the POE ports and have multiple cameras get DHCP that are located at the other island...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    fair enough, really appreciate how much everyone is willing to help on this site. I'm in FL where the tags are only on the back. Currently I'm looking at the Dahua NVR-5-EI and 5241-Z12E cameras so I certainly have IR capability. I figure I'll have to try different options to get the best...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    My hope is that they have to stop/slow drastically for the exit to go around the island and then the stop sign. If we mount the camera on the info sign then we would be close to the curb, 5-10' high and a range of 20-60'. I was thinking that avoiding IR would be best so the tag doesn't get...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    @TonyR and everyone else... thank you all again for the nudge. I borrowed a couple of Mimosa C5x from work (approx $100/ea on Amazon). Even though I am not planning to push my video across the Internet, I attached to my home network so I could use Speedtest.org. I taped 1 of them to a window...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    yep, understand. I took some typing shortcuts in that. I meant wireless links. I'll borrow some equipment from work and see if I can reach from my house. It isn't a huge distance but there are houses and trees in the way.

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    I would love to do something like that however there is no office. Our HOA staff are completely volunteer. One thought was to parasite off the closest neighbor's wifi (with permission) but that is obviously subject to change. I considered some kind of wifi extenders to get the signals to my...

    Looking for advice on a local storage only camera system

    Hello, looking for advice on a solution for my HOA. We have 2 entrances, both with islands. We are wanting to mount cameras to catch cars entering/exiting as a way of helping identify "candidates" for the police to investigate when needed. We don't have a lot of crime but there have been some...

    Hello, new to the forum and it has been very helpful with getting my new Dahua system going. Fantastic group!! I've started a new thread since I had posted this in someone else's thread. Thank you Looney2ns for the correction. I have gotten my intrusion zones setup though I'm sure I'll...

    dahua, how do you change camera order on live view??

    Excellent info. I have a different model NVR (Dahua N41B2P2) but was able to move my streams around. Don't see a way to move the splits but not a huge deal. Would also be nice to be able to set the sequence on different screens but also not a big deal.
