    PTZ recommendation

    Went with the PTZ5A4M. Front of the house is kinda wonky so had to make do with the current placement for best coverage/angles. The house is rather narrow and extremely long, the large overhanging soffits made for tricky coverage. Where do you think the best mounting location would be for the...

    Comparison pict SD49225T-HN vs Loryta PTZ5A4M-25X

    You happen to have any tracking videos of your PTZ5A4M-25X. Not many videos of this model I’ve been able to find.

    Darkfighter PTZ (DS-2DE7A825IW-AEB(T5)

    For my home application running it at night on color wouldn't be plausible. Is the ~$400 price difference of the PTZ5A4M worth it over grabbing over the SD49225XA-HNR-S2 2MP?

    Darkfighter PTZ (DS-2DE7A825IW-AEB(T5)

    For $600 this seems like a phenomenal deal. Has anyone used one of these as I have not been able to find many reviews. Another question is this unit able to be powered solely off of POE or is the additional power supply going to be needed...

    Old gaming pc to Blue Iris

    I currently have an old gaming PC that is only used to browse with web when the phone doesn't suffice. Ryzen 5 2600 16Gb Ram RX 560 150 Gb & 500Gb SSD. Id like to just use this to run my blue iris setup, obviously adding a large WD purple HDD to it for storage. I plan to run 4-6 4MP cams...

    Dahua/ETech. On Reolink NVR

    Ahhh I figured it out, I was under the impression that the user's were activated when greyed out but it was the other way around. I ungrey'd them and it now works. I like the feature with the reolink cams that turn the spotlight on when motion is detected under IR conditions. It that feature...

    Dahua/ETech. On Reolink NVR

    Got the cam up and running with BI. Got everything working with the app aside from push notifications, can’t figure that out. I get alerts on the app but no notifications. Now debating if I’ll have to upgrade my PC to run the rest of the cams (ryzen 5 2600, 16gb Ram, rx570) or buy a mini pc...

    Dahua/ETech. On Reolink NVR

    Woah man thanks for the detailed response! I plugged the cam into my network and changed the ip with the ipconfig tool to my local ip with its assigned host number. It’s plugged into a Poe switch I added to my main house switch that I may use to power cameras if I go the blue iris route. The...

    Dahua/ETech. On Reolink NVR

    Got it working after of hours of messing with the ports. I really lose out on a lot of the features. Would downloading a trial of Blue Iris and adding that empire tech cam to get a feel mess things up with it on my NVR?

    Dahua/ETech. On Reolink NVR

    Okay thanks for your help. I’m probably going to end up switching over to blue iris and getting a NAS in the future. Hoping to get this to work for the mean time.

    Dahua/ETech. On Reolink NVR

    I want to add an Empire Tech cam to my Reolink NVR. I need to plug it in to my network via port on my switch coming from my Eero first to log into the cam and configure the ip address before adding it to the NVR. My concern is it then has to be unplugged to then plugged into the NVR, so then...

    Dahua/EmpireTech compatability with Reolink

    I recently installed a Reolink 16ch nvr poe system and have realized I would like to add some better quality cameras to my lineup. From what i have read I should be able to connect them to the NVR. My question is will I still be able to utilize motion alerts and access to the camera with...
