Kudos to @guykuo for taking the time to document all of this and providing this opportunity to learn. I have a bit of a novice question about a portion of this: 1.) If the NVR has POE ethernet ports, would it make sense to make use of those, and let the NVR assign 10.x.x.x IP addresses on its...

Hi Mario, thanks for your response. The Amcrest manuals recommend setting the cameras to use a static IP address: Camera manual: “For security purposes it is highly recommended to set the camera to a static IP address. Setting your device to a static IP will ensure the stability and the...

Hi, I‘m using an Amcrest NV5208e with ip8m-t2499ew cameras. I’ve updated the firmware on everything and set static IP’s on the cameras using a browser connection. Now, when I plug the cameras into the NVR, they appear on the top half of the Camera Registration screen with a green checkmark as...

I am in the process of installing all my cameras, but haven’t given much thought as to where the NVR should go. The basement seems like a logical choice, as all the ethernet cable runs can easily terminate there, and if the NVR fan is loud, it wouldn’t matter too much. However, I assume most...

The wiki doesn’t really explain when to / benefits of using a junction box. Yes, you are right, perhaps I should have searched more using site:ipcamtalk.com before posting as there are couple others asking similar question. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for this response, it is very helpful. Sorry, yes, I meant to say turret, but it came out dome. I’ve also read through all the cliff notes, they’re filled with tremendous amount of great advice, so appreciate that. As for the junction box, I will be terminating the ethernet cord...

I want to feed the ethernet cable through and mount a typical dome camera to a wooden horizontal surface (an overhang on a home). When is appropriate to first mount and feed the cable through a junction box, and mount the camera to that, versus simply mounting the camera directly to the...
