    Windows 11 Home or Pro?

    I have successfully purchased two codes through a tech web site called Neowin. At the top of the page is a link to Deals. Each time it was $29.95 and I felt it was worth the risk. Both machines upgraded without a hitch and both have been receiving Windows updates and etc. Both just received...

    Windows 11 Home or Pro?

    If you like one PC more than the other, it is a relatively inexpensive upgrade to purchase a code to update from Windows Home to Windows Pro.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Yes, I have two of these. Mine sounds like gear noise between the motor and lens head. It is noticeably louder when the tracking period ends and it returns to the default position at high speed.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    After tracking a subject, my two SD4A425DB-HNY cameras make a very audible sound when returning to the default position. It is loud enough to draw the subjects attention.

    SD4A425DB-HNY – AI Adjustments I have installed two of these cameras. In the AI rule configuration section, I have two IVS rules established and enabled for each camera. One for Intrusion and one for Tripwire. One camera covers a driveway. The event will trigger record when a person or...

    Firmware Update for SD4A425DB-HNY - Sep 2023

    I have not had any recent issues drawing from scratch or editing existing tripwire or intrusion zone graphics. There is a limit to how many lines you can draw, I recall around 15. I am on Windows 11 Pro with a desktop connected via Ethernet. As recommended by Andy, for camera settings I...

    Firmware Update for SD4A425DB-HNY - Sep 2023

    I have not updated my firmware yet. I have two of the cameras and have been holding off for a while. Maybe work on it over the weeekend. I found for both tripwire and intrusion, draw your graphic and when you hit the line/node limit you can click on the right mouse button and then trashcan...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Your comment about QOS is a red flag. In today's world of gigabit LAN and high speed internet, QOS is a waste of electrons. It also adds significantly to the workload on your router. Recommend you turn it off, restart your LAN in sequence, and check the performance of your camera connections.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I have two of these cameras that have been in service for about 45 days. Access the cameras from two computers, one Windows 10 and one Windows 11. Computers are connected via Ethernet to a router. The Windows 10 is on a static IP and the Windows 11 is not. Cameras are connected to a managed...

    I am new to the AI and IVS features on this camera. Trying to understand the function of the count down timer and the lock/unlock icon?

    Outdoor POE Switch? Or just run multiple ethernet cables?

    Installing an outdoor POE switch in a small waterproof enclosure usually works fine. The switch generates enough heat to avoid moisture problems in the enclosure.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Basically yes, BUT. The TP-Link TL-R605 is a router with a VPN server that can be enabled and configured. The TP-Link RL-R605 is connected downstream from your DSL modem/router. Not good to have two routers on the same LAN without some special configuration tweaks. You would need to be...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    There is less and less DSL equipment on the market. Once you pick a model, download the manual from the manufacturer's web site and read it. Netgear still makes one I know of. Amazon link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111MRL4S?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_33C9QHF22MZCQ9BE232H Not really a...

    SmartPSS won't launch

    Create a restore point before you get too carried away with troubleshooting. That way you can get back to the beginning. From an administrative level command prompt, you can run System File Check (sfc /scannow) to determine if there are errors in the file system. From the same window you can...

    Smart PSS Software not working right

    When you are trying to start Smart PSS are you logged in to a Windows account with administrator rights? Do you know if Smart PSS was installed under that login? When I click on the X in the upper right hand corner to exit, I get a confirmation window that asks are you sure you want to exit...
