    dmz mode in modem

    What I did was look online about how to put this router/modem into bridge mode and everything said to do it the way I described in my previous posts. I looked at the manual and it shows that it does actually have a bridge mode and it is done a completely different way. I never thought to...

    dmz mode in modem

    From my understanding, the att modem/router doesn't offer a true bridge mode but has a router behind router setting and if you turn this on and put it in dmzplus mode along with turning off all of the security on it, you are basically in bridge mode.

    Camera placement

    I am going to have 5 cameras when it is all said and done. 4 will be IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and one will be a PTZ mounted somewhere at the front of the house. I am looking for suggestions of the best mounting locations for all of the cameras. They will all be mounted around 8 feet and possibly one...

    dmz mode in modem

    When I do get this working, I remember reading something about forwarding port 1194 for the vpn. Would this be on the Asus and would it be safe to do if so?

    dmz mode in modem

    I am going to have to research the supplementary network things for the Asus as I did not, to my knowledge, set this up. I will have to research how to change the adresses of the 3801 some more, I am not sure how to change the IP out of the 192.168.1.xx range on this without causing issues...

    dmz mode in modem

I have to let the 3801 put the asus in dmzplus mode. the lan ip address of the asus is 192.168.2.xx and I am unable to see my camera. if I change this address to 192.168.1.xx I can see my camera but have...

    dmz mode in modem

    The 3801 is the only one in bridge mode, or as close as it will get which is router behind router with dmzplus enabled. I just wanted to know if this was the proper way to get them working together. I had the camera working initially before I decided to do a vpn and buy the Asus router but...

    dmz mode in modem

    I have an att uverse modem/router (3801hgv) and am running an asus rt-ac68u behind it. I am running openVPN on the assus. the only way I have found to get these two to work together is to have the att modem put the asus router into DMZplus mode. I was wondering if this defeats the purpose of...

    will Open VPN work with 3801HGV router?

    I have Uverse internet and I have gotten a couple dahua cameras to work on my home network. after reading a bit, it seems I dont want to forward ports but need to set up a VPN. I have researched this a bit and from everything I gather, it is not possible to do this at all while using my 3801HGV...

    items to buy along with cameras

    Ok I tried to draw everything out and the only requirements I really have are enough ports to run 5 of these cameras and possibly a 6th at some point down the road, maybe even a nicer camera as the 6th. I dont have anything else to my knowledge that I would run off of the switch. I do have a...

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    I am very mechanically inclined but when it comes to IT related things im pretty lost. While reading about BI, they started talking about servers, dual LAN, DNS, etc. Then it got even more complicated when I looked into remote viewing. Im going to give it a shot though!

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    I was reading up a bit on BI and it sounds really complicated to set up if you are not an IT guy. are there any alternatives with similar features or is BI the best?

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    ok, so I should be able to get 2 of the cameras , the hp 8300, BI, and the cable to wire everything and that should at least get me started.

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    A media pc is part of my budget though. I dont have to use it to run the cameras but I have to get it for our home entertainment center. I was hoping there would be some type of discount around the holidays.. I can always get 2 or 3 and just fill in with a few cheap cameras correct?

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    My upload speed is 1.57 Mbps according to M-Lab. Does Andy have any discounts currently to put 4 of these cameras within my budget? I still have to build a media PC and buy cable and anything else I may need for the setup.

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    I read up a good bit on the camera but dont really understand most of the specs. The only camera I have ever seen before is the M3 and I cant find any comparison of it and the HDW5231R. The M3 has good reviews on other websites but I am unable to find a comparison between it and the HDW5231R...

    He has the HDW5231R for $176.99 but is out of the HDW2231R. How would these compare to the G3 during the day? At night?
