Further more the Swann cameras can be added to the list of cameras that will work on the Cobra NVR. Apparently when you first install a camera on the NVR8-8580 It changes the password to what ever you set the password to be on your NVR8-8580. I don't know that all Swann systems do that or just...

Mine is dry, but have seen a lot of it with water in it. Mine isn't sealed at both ends, but you can. I have thhn running through a 1 inch that carries power to my outbuilding and power back to my house from my outbuilding/ generator. That said, I have seen a lot of problems caused by water in...

If you put it in conduit you don't want to use the direct burial cable. It is stiff and you will have a hard time getting it through the 90 degree turns. If you glue your pvc the cable will stay dry and you can use just cat 5e or 6 .

Put it in schedule 40 or 80 pvc. This gives you the option to change or add without digging up the back yard. If you are going to run power (120VAC) a separate conduit for that. I always use 3/4" but that's just me. For a couple of wires 1/2 inch will be just fine. Code is 2 feet deep or...

Back to the HIK Vision NVR. The Swann Home Safe View Will allow the display of HIK Vision Cameras From the HIK Vision NVR. I have not been able to get the Cobra to work here. The pictures of the lamp is the HIKVision Cameras the others are the Swann Cameras. I think where I am headed is Blue...

In the ongoing quest for information, The Blink Camera only appears on my network when I access it with my phone or the motion trigger is activated. The IP is assigned by the router and shows up on the connected devices list. It goes away after 1 minute of activity. The router shows an IP of...

Being a level2 device it would tend to be more reliable, great information. I'm past doing anything commercially but I might have to buy a pair(TEHE) Just to see them work.

Thank you very much.

I have looked at the output file from SADP with several editors, Hex editor, Geany and the like, and searched them for the passwords you gave me, to no avail. I have a friend that was able to determine that the password files stored in VMS are stored at the exact same location in memory, every...

Is it possible to send the output of your POE switch (cameras and voip phones), through these and like devices. This technology amazes me and the price is very affordable for the desired output, remote communications.

The Cobra NVR are back on sale 125 US dollars for the NVR and 2 Cameras. Here is a picture of the set up for the cameras. It appears to be pretty versatile, which, with all the camera makers out there is a good thing. I am sure some of the specs will not exceed do it yourself standards. But if...

When you get old even little successes are a big deal. I changed the ip address on one of the HIK Vision cameras to 10.10.25.158, net mask 255.255.0.0 . I looked on the cobra NVR and It saw it. Add it as onvif and it works. So the HIKVision cameras will work on the cheap 4K NVR from Harbor...

Yea, the NVR"S went on sale back in the summer for 125 for the box and 2 cameras. I needed 4 cameras so I bought 2 for 250 bucks. Work great and allow me to import my Swann cameras for display. Also work with the Amcrest camera. I got her dvr to work so I won't need a dvr for Elk River. I am...

IT'S ALIVE. I cleaned it up, the hard drive was bad. Where they broke off 2 connectors the cameras don't work may be able to solder new ones in if I can figure out if they are terminating or straight through. Also I have the power supply issue to deal with, I got something scabbed in to get it...

NVR's and they work great. I have not got the HIK VISION cams working on this NVR(works on the HIK VISION NVR) yet but I've been busy doing other things. When things slow down I will give it a go.

Yes, largely out of curiosity but they do now all work. Do you remember the movie, "Silence of the Lambs". I have a friend that bought a house on the Elk River not far from where Buffalo Bill, deposited his "hump", according to the story. The house had security cameras, Swann SWSHD-810CAM 720...

Thank you for your in depth reply, and so quickly, you got lightning fingers. You have convinced me to remove the Blink Camera from my outbuilding and put up a plain old floodlight. Thank you for that. I will return the unopened one to Best Buy and this one will go into my junk pile. I bought...

Well there is no graceful way to back away from my ignorance so I won't. I have a Radioshack 40 channel CB in my truck, I bought in 1979 that still works. As to what I am trying to do as you get older your goals become muddled. I got the Blink floodlight cameras to use as floodlights but found...

Yes that would be the paid vpn, you know as a "client" on Express or Nord vpn, the server, to which I am addressing. Set up this way you simply have to log into the wireless router behind your Asus Router to use the vpn. When you want off the vpn just log into the Asus wireless connection. In...

Thanks for the info. I am largely self educated, driven by need. There are large gaps in my education based on information I have not needed to accomplish my objectives. Sometimes I stumble into a gem of information. Here's one. I have a Asus GT-Ac5300 Router. It will function as a VPN client...

I have 4 NVRS the first I bought was a Swann 8 port. 8580 something. In the Homesafe utility it ask what type of camera Swann or HIK Vision. HMMM. I have an HIK vision 4 port I got from a guy in Huntington WV with 3 HIK Vision Cameras and one AMcrest PTL. I wanted the PTL camera the rest was a...

I bought a couple Blink Wired Floodlight cameras from Best Buy for 50 bucks a piece. Didn't know I had to have a smart phone to make them work. So for an extra hundred I got a smart phone, joined Planet Fitness, you need a smart fone for that too. Got the Blink wired camera working a couple...

The Password worked perfectly The other camera stops camera number three from working or the nvr from even see it. I think I actually was able to change the IP on it and unfortunately got it set to 192.168.254.3 same as camera number three. Now that I have access I should be able to learn what...

Thank you.

I have 2 HIK Vision cameras I would like to restore to the default password and username 12345 and admin. I want to use them on a Cobra NVR from Harbor Freight. I have the configuration files downloaded from the cameras by using...

Jan, sorry to hijack your thread, wasn't intentional. Tony, your information was spot on and after hooking up a POE Switch I moved my cheap Cobra NVR to the house clearing up a lack of audio and latency problem. The POE switch was 27 dollars from Amazon. Ordered it yesterday got it this morning...

Going back to the batch files. That looks very useful. I had to think a bit, all the way back to autoexec.bat files.

Ah...So the key knowledge for me is a subnet mask and static IP's outside the dhcp range, in effect using the network infrastructure but not being part of it, separate from it. I have the hardware to do this, and will, to see it work ,....thanks. I used to work for an interconnect telephone...

VLC runs on knoppix, the advantage of running knoppix is it runs on about anything, I use 10 year old computers to perform most tasks like printing, display, music, ripping movies or cds to whatever format I want. I don't play video games so I don't need the speed. I am confused about running...
