I freakin' love this idea!

The only thing I would caution you on this approach would be that I have ran into instances in the past where connecting a 100mb device on the outfeed of an AP will sometimes default that entire AP to only 100mb instead of 1GB. I recently completed a similar install to what you are doing, but...

I would buy the 5442s and NVRs from Andy at Empirecandy all day long. Over the past several years I have purchased probably 200 cameras from him, and always received quality products, great and fast support. You will not find better service or product. I have dealt with several different...

I prefer the older design as it was cast metal instead of just the plastic mount/base as well. Seems to hold up better in the elements outside.

I have been running pfSense for the last 3-4 years as well on a Protectli Vault at our house and love the flexibility and stability (can be a bit overwhelming at first) For clients, I often use the Ubiquiti UDRs for ease of access/manageability as well.

Make sure you set the doorbell to utilize a static IP address as well to prevent it from dropping later or rolling to a new IP address.

Over the past 3 years, I have bought approximately $40k worth of cameras and hardware from Andy and have yet to have an issue. Any time that I have ever ran into an issue, I have reached out to Andy and he is more than happy to help resolve any issue that I have, or that my customer has ran...

I have installed close to 30-40 of these doorbells, and have had zero issues until this situation. I have tried replacing the doorbell with a brand new one thinking it may be an issue with the doorbell itself. The issues still persist. I have also tried to configure the doorbell with two...

I have ran into this issue when the iris of a camera goes bad.

Hello - I have installed probably 40-45 of these and had zero issues for clients. In this case, I have a client that I have installed (and replaced with a second unit, still having the same issue) When I install and configure the doorbell, I choose the correct time zone, CT -5. The onscreen...

I am looking for the best way to stream the video feeds from my NVR across the house to a display monitor without using HDMI baluns. Any suggestions? My cameras are all powered/plugged directly into the NVR so there is a different subnet of IP addresses for my cameras from my typical IP...

I have my 5216 behind my pfsense firewall and have all outgoing traffic blocked.. you would need to block the nvr from outgoing.. 192.168.1.x [ip of your nvr]

You can connect your NVR to your ISP router that you are using now, that will allow you to access the NVR via the DMSS app on your phone or tablet while connected to your wifi. If you are concerned about your cameras accessing the internet/WAN, just create some simple firewall rules that will...

the more devices and cameras you have running, the more you will see the improvements in the processor power of a good router/gateway. Best of luck!

Protectli Box running pfSense.. then you can load VPN of your choosing. Allows improved speed and security when compared to over-the-counter consumer hardware...

time to buy stock in Andy.

I have a client that owns a dog grooming/daycare business and wants to offer video streams to clients to checkin on/view their dogs throughout the day. This aspect is a little out of my wheelhouse. Any suggestions for software or hardware that will enable this when using Dahua Cams? I have...

I would suggest the Asus route for simplicity.. I have used Asus routers for the past 10 years, before making the move to Ubiquiti. I love the Unifi gear and the capabilities, but it does have a learning curve to get used to. Edge router is clean, simple and cheap too! It is addictive once...

I have recently made the move to using a MBP instead of my Win10 laptop. I have always been a PC user, but I am trying to expand my knowledge and experience Is there any way to access NVRs/hardware via macbook pro? I am open to suggestions if you have any! Thank you, -tim

In my experience, i would turn the front corner camera on bedroom #2 back towards the driveway/garage doors to keep an eye on the driveway/garage doors.

Looking for a small footprint starlight cam for near the entry door. Any suggestions? I did have a Speco TVI turret that was only about 2 3/4".. was trying to find something comparable if possible. Thanks, -Tim

interested.

this still available?

go into the network settings on the computer that you are trying to access the browser controls and manually go in and assign the computer an IP address in the same range/classificaiton. IE if the NVR is set to a 192.168.1.40, then go in and manually assign your laptop into the 192.168.1.x. At...

The disc also includes a copy of the configtool which will allow you to change the IP of the camera as well. handy if you are configuring several new cams at the same time, or want to set static IP addresses to them.

Semi-Flush mount tamper proof cam anyone?

What's the effective range on the 510?

I have used these to protect the POE cameras and NVR on several installs. https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-ETH-SP-External-Suppressor/dp/B00R20OIAY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507518839&sr=8-1&keywords=ubiquiti+surge
