    Network security questions

    Well, it's definitely the nut across the street. Now that none of the NVRs are connected to the LAN and he has no access, he decided to reciprocate and install a camera on a 4x4 treated post that he dug a hole for right in front of his front door. It is wireless with 2 solar panels mounted...

    Ok, so I order the Asus RT1800? Sorry to keep asking nut I'm looking for confirmation before I go through ordering the same item I just returned

    Network security questions

    Probably renting. Acquiring, installing and configuring a modem along with router right now is just going to complicate the process right now. Not to mention if there is an issue with service beyond the service entrance, I'm on my own for support. And ATT will more than likely blame it on my...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Appreciate the heads up, but bad timing for me. I need to work out my network issue first. Don't want to add anymore equipment and have the nut across the street change settings on me or worse. Got to close the door on him first

    I did read the hotspot comment, but with broadband and Wi-Fi disabled, I would imagine no hotspot. I already asked ATT about the modem only - no dice, they don't or won't offer just the modem, I must enable pass-through mode. Less inventory to handle So, I order the ASUS RT1800 again, yes?

    Network security questions

    I really couldn't tell you. I do know that while the router was physically connected to the DSL line, Broadband and Wi-Fi were disabled on the Arris device and Wi-Fi was disabled on the laptop I use. I do know that a trace on all of those IP addresses comes back to ATT as the owner...

    Network security questions

    I don't see how. Wi-Fi was disabled both on the Arris device and on the laptop I use. I was (and am) using the ethernet connection on my laptop currently On Advanced IP Scanner which I downloaded here: Advanced IP Scanner - Download Free Network Scanner It is very useful for finding device IP...

    Network security questions

    I bought the ASUS RTX 1800 router for VPN, but it was un-needed for remote viewing with the P2P, so I sent it back. I guess I need to get another one and enable pass-through on the Arris modem? Can you exclude a range of IP addresses on the Asus?

    Network security questions

    I disabled Wi-Fi, disabled broadband and had 103 alive IP addresses, none with mac addresses. That tells me it's something internal as there was no connection to the outside with those 2 disabled. Maybe it's something with the ATT equipment?

    Network security questions

    All those 192.169.2.XXX addresses have no mac addresses, I don't believe they are hardware, I think they are IP addresses assigned to virtual machines. It has to be someone who is able to see changes made to my LAN/devices on a real-time basis, because I make a change (password, IP, etc.) and...

    Network security questions

    I need to figure out how to temporarily disable Wi-Fi on the Arris to confirm if it is coming from there. I certainly believe it could be.

    Network security questions

    Our neighbor also has ATT. This is the Nosey guy from the other thread. The same one that walked all the way across the street to look at the camera I just installed facing the cul-de-sac. He and the neighbor next to him had a feud going on for years and the neighbor moved in 2020. I'm talking...

    I checked and did not see anything that would raise a red flag, then again, my IT experience is limited I could not find a selection for these functions anywhere in the settings. Maybe I'm missing it Yes Not that I am aware of It only shows one range of IP addresses for DHCP 192.168.X.XXX...

    Network security questions

    A little whatis/whois search shows that all of the domains in the trace are parts of AT&T which is our internet provider. I just wonder why they show up now and not in previous searches?

    Network security questions

    I changed my LAN IP address range a few days ago from 192.169.X.XXX to 192.168.X.XXX on advice from more experienced users on the board due to odd issues with my security cams. Yesterday I noticed changes to the settings of one of my LPR cams and this morning, I woke up to one of my backyard...

    Smart PSS lite computer requirements

    I presume to revert back, one would have to deinstall the 2024 version I downloaded, restart and then install 2023 version?

    Smart PSS lite computer requirements

    I only ask because of the specs listed by Dahua. I had no issues with the Lorex Cloud app other than some stuttering every now and then viewing the mainstream, but it's not too common. I imagine it can't be too much different

    Smart PSS lite computer requirements

    I noticed in the recommended requirements for SmartPSS Lite, it lists i5 6000 series @ 3.2 Ghz, my laptop has an i5 8000 series processor running at 1.6 Ghz, any issues using my laptop?

    B54IR-Z4E Low Quality With Vehicle Motion

    I think another issue might be the angle to the subject. Ideally, an angle of no more than 30 degrees to the vehicle path is preferred. Obviously, that will depend on the site location. I have two Z12E cams for LPR and the one that has the lower angle, but further away (168 feet) seems to get...

    Same gallon of gas in 4 or 6 cylinder

    Every vehicle I've ever owned had a range of almost 400 miles or more. My 2024 Tacoma cannot get above 300 miles per tank according to the gauge, so they must have a pretty large reserve in the tank. Either way, it's no real problem for my everyday driving, just a pain when I do long distance travel

    Same gallon of gas in 4 or 6 cylinder

    I don't think a 36-gallon fuel tank would fit on a Tacoma, but it would be nice for the trip to Pennsylvania every year to visit family and friends. Being almost 1200 miles one way, I would still have to refuel along the way, it would only be once. Now I have to fill up 4 times on the way there...

    Same gallon of gas in 4 or 6 cylinder

    That's the other kicker; they shrunk the size of the fuel tank from 21.5 gallons to 18.5 gallons in the redesign of the Tacoma. Why? Slightly less weight? Possibly, but my tinfoil hat says it's to lower the range you can travel on a single tank. I get the feeling that this will be a trend as we...

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I can just imagine what the neighbors think when the go by these peeking over the fence. I've seen them look and shake their heads. What they don't know is that I can hear them say as well: "why do they need so many cameras?" the other says: "maybe they're trying to hide something?" Either way...
