Anyone have any input?

Hi - I think I may have made the setup more complicated than necessary. Could someone please review the attached diagram and let me know if this configuration will work as I'm envisioning? Essentially, for another part of the house, I decided to run shorter cables to connect to a PoE switch...

Thanks - to be honest i thought this would be a good camera to cover the front / carport area but I think it maybe best suited elsewhere. For example above the garage or around the outside garage area maybe a good fit. I think the door bell would be sufficient to capture the front area. I do...

Is there a camera best to be placed around the front door?

Thank you sharing this information it was very helpful and I will try these out tomorrow. Did you turn the illuminator off? Also, I bought a waterproof junction box but am still trying to figure out how it works to mount. I won't be mounting until later in few months so right now just trying...

Thank you for all the information. Should I do the setting changes directly in the Dahua config app, right? Also I noticed this camera has two lights on the bottom that turned on automatically at night when in my room when it went dark. I suspect the settings will have a control for these as...

Thank you - yes needed a hard reset - had to youtube a bit but figured it out. Next step is how to improve the picture quality because its grainy quality. FYI - it took a bit of time but I was then able to also connect it to the Lorex system after entering in the username/password set on the...

Since I go to modify the IP to either DHCP or Static it says "Incorrect username or password" When I got reset the password it asks for a Security Code which I don't know. Not sure how to get past this

LOL - I just found out there is a Dahua Tool and was coming here to post. So I know the problem the IP is in some 10.1.x.x range but how do I reset this device so I can set the password? This was already intialized and the DHCP IP is not getting picked up for some reason. It seems I need to...

Hi - I bought a IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED and have it connected directly into my POE switch. Please note my IP addresses for the switch are in the 192.168.50.xxx sub range. I know power is being fed but I am unable to obtain an IP. How do I access the interface? The instructions make it appear it...

Thank you - I was thinking of posting picture of my house but for privacy was trying to see if it can just outline the model of the front to show how it looks. Basically im a close to center house on a cul-de-sac with 3000 sq ft of living space. The property in itself is on 0.4 acres. There...

What is ANPR? Basically do I go to the spec sheets to look for it? I was thinking of these cameras but not sure if they are ANPR cameras. IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED S2 IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 IPC-HFW7842H-Z

Were you able to get an answer to your questions? Interested in learning about the same. Thanks!

Thank you - if you were to put cameras around as of today on a home remodel what setup would you recommend and which model cameras?

Thank you actually I’m getting a bit overwhelmed with the model numbers and options The thought process is I keep Lorex which has 8 channels for like pool area, sides of houses with shorter distances - so I get 6 cameras with the system. Again the system I’m thinking comes with decent to good...

Thanks for the info, I have a spare computer and pretty comfortable in working with PCs. What is the app experience like for Blue Iris?

Can I ask why your opinion would change on the license plate? I was thinking of getting one of IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E and IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED S2 possibly to plug in the Lorex DVR. Otherwise if I need more was going to see if just getting an independent NVR (Dahura or other brand) or possibly Blue...

I am looking to identify especially at the front of the house. What NVR are you using? I had to google this but realized BI is Blue Iris - which i suspect I will have to run on a Windows Machine 24/7, I do have a Synology which I suspect can run it as well. My concern is the ability to login...

Thank you - your thread was very helpful. I am going to have to give the placement of the cameras some serious thought in order to see what models would work. I think the front of the house would need most coverage with being able to identify. The side of the house and back are all fenced ...

Thank you , were you able to get it to work with your Lorex NVR? Also, was it basically plug and play? Lastly, did the features of the Lorex app work with these cameras?

Can you link the camera you bought? I have bought this system from Costco which comes with 6 cameras but want to install two more when i begin the project. Based on recommendations here it seems the Dahua 5442 should work. It seems you had success getting it to work with the Lorex NVR, can you...

Hi - I am in the works of starting a home camera installation where I will use a contractor to run Cat 6 cables. I bought Lorex YN843A82-8AB6-E from Costco and it comes with 6 cameras. The NVR allows 8 cameras and today i did a quick power/video test before installation but then ran into a lot...
