Thanks for your input. I did some testing and i am able to access the gdmss app while logged into the openvpn instance. I checked the ip while connected to the vpn and without and both ips were the same. Which would mean that the vpn tunnel isnt working?

Whats the best way to restrict access to the internet for my NVR. I have an Omada network and tried setting the switch ACLs to deny all NVR (on it's separate vlan) access to the primary LAN. Doing so made it so I wasn't able to access the cams as well (with a client on the primary LAN).

Good to know. Does your Asus router have VLAN and VPN abilities?

has anyone dived into the Tp-link Omada train? seems like a Unifi knock-off with a lower price point.

I have it enabled but the audio seems to be only working on the phone app and not when viewing live or recording directly from the NVR.

I recently installed a 3541 and have noticed that it isnt recording audio. I am using the same NVR5216-16P-4KS2E as my other 5442 cameras and those are recording audio fine. Is there a setting I need to update to get that working for my 3541?

I tried doing this but viewing the playback using the "search" still only shows a green bar. Did you keep the red detection area completely red or did you highlight areas you wanted to show motion?

Has anyone run into issues with the attributes not displaying any information? I am currently using a 5216 nvr with 5442 cams. It worked the very first time it was triggered but now it wont display any g

why is that? I don't have a VLAN setup so I was waiting on that before I had the NVR on my network.

I am having the same issue with my 5216... can this be fixed from the nvr gui itself or do I need to log into the ip of the NVR?

could I just plug in the NVR to the one port, assign the vlan and call it a day? would I need the other Ubiquiti routers, etc?

would this still be a good option if it'll be exposed to rain/sun?

what would be a good camera for a side door entrance to a garage that is right next to a side gate as well? I already have a camera pointed in that direction but it might not be close enough. There's also a bright light there that's always on at night.

Any reason bullet over turret? Does NVR have as much customization when compared to BI?

which models are you guys aiming for?

Would I need to put those adapters in a junction box as well (if they are under the fascia)? Will the NVR have any issues with ID'ing the cameras separately? The primary reason I would prefer one line run would be esthetics.

I currently have 2 separate runs that are over 100 feet each (opposite sides of house). Since I can only run the wire on the outside of my house, I was wondering if it would make sense to use this POE extender (Amazon.com : Loryta PoE Extender Mini Passive 2 Port POE Switch, IEEE 802.3af/at POE...

Does that mean hdmi is not the preferred wire method? I got the 4 beeps recently as well but nothing displaying on my monitor via hdmi.

Is the IPC-E3541F-AS-M (at about 5-6' mounted on side wall, left of entrance) better for front door or a IPC-T5442TM-AS (mounted above the door top left corner). This is under a 20 of foot porch with a entrance light on the right of the door.

Is there any reason to go all of the same series i.e. 5442 all around the home vs mixing and matching (IPC-T3241T-ZAS or IPC-T2431T-AS)?

Is there sales tax if I order directly from Empiretech?

I am leaning towards getting a external switch as well. Do you have recommendations for a switch? As well as Dahua NVR model? Will probably run run 8-10 cams to start.

The 5216 model has the poe slots on the NVR itself, correct? Would you recommend something else if a separate poe switch is preferred?

Good to know. Can I run shucked WD drives in these? Also, would you happen to know if the 16 channel version of this model has 16 POE slots?

Have any recommendations on Dahua model?

I am about to pull the trigger on some Dahua cams and am leaning towards the Dahua NVR as well. Is there any advantage of using the same brand NVR?
