    Looking for a wide angle turret

    So I’ve got the original dual lens “boobie” cam that I installed about 4-5 years ago. It’s ok, but it sucks at night especially with water spots, glare, and bugs. So I’m looking for a wide angle turret (don’t really need a full 180) with IR. Don’t want lights to be on at night from the camera...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Thank you for the recommendation. This camera should work just fine with my Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2?

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    At my front door I have the IPC-HDW5231R-Z. It’s still a great camera but I might like to have 2 way audio to hear and talk to someone. Is there a turret camera like this?

    URGENT!!! There will be new DMSS 2.0 and new cloud account mode & new cloud video streaming

    Thank you MC I’ve got it working on a new iPad. I’m still using the older app on my phone (before the new version) I’m a little confused. I don’t really want to make an account. Can someone clarify, is live view achievable without making an account (like it was before the update?) Will...

    URGENT!!! There will be new DMSS 2.0 and new cloud account mode & new cloud video streaming

    Is there an iPad friendly version of DMSS? I downloaded the app but it shows as the portrait size of a phone.

    Help, locked out of NVR, can’t reset pw

    Thanks Steve, I clearly overlooked that when I replied to you. Frustration probably got me there. But before I was to attempt your solution I thought I’d give “admin” for the password a try, and what do you know, that worked! So weird to me. I had to re-add all of my cameras and users but I’m...

    Help, locked out of NVR, can’t reset pw

    I’m pretty sure I didn’t put an email address it. There has to be another way

    Help, locked out of NVR, can’t reset pw

    Everything was working fine for a long time but then I had a power outage this morning. System booted back up saying: “For your device safety, please change admin default password” So I go to change it but it says “invalid password” even though I know I typed it in correctly. So I can’t...

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    Ok i'll have to figure out how to log into the modem because access is denied when i type the IP address in. I know how to port forward on the Eero though.

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    Still working through it. If "Main Router" is considered the Eero Pro 6 then I would have to put the Brume after the Eero, I think? I also understand I'd need to port forward the Brume to the Eero. The question I have I think, don't I need to change the IP of the Brume to match the IP series...

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    So do you think I need to update the IP of the brume to match my local LAN IP because it's different right now with the Brume being 192.168.8.1. I believe I can port forward the Brume from the Eero app

    Also not sure if I need to port forward anything anywhere. What I typed out above is all I’ve done so far

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    So I went with the Brume 2 unit, hooked the WAN cable from the modem to the WAN cable on the brume, then the lan from the br to the computer. Set up just fine, logged in fine, setup WireGuard fine and installed on phone. It says it has connection but I can’t get back to my network. I probably...

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    I’m still trying to figure all this out. Just wish there was a simple solution. I’m tempted to just port forward but I know everyone says not to. What would you say is the best pivpn (without WiFi) that won’t break the bank. Best place to buy as well. Amazon? Or would this be the way to go...

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    Forgot to mention that I run a dahua nvr and not blue iris. Not sure if that changes anything.

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    So I just switched from cable to frontier fiber optic now using the Eero Pro 6e mesh system. On my old setup I was using the Asus RT-AC1750 router which has the built in OpenVPN server. I want to keep using OpenVPN so I can keep my cameras offline from the internet and not port forward them...

    Is this the correct way to link switches?

    The NVR is connected to the switch. Bottom switch, top row, all the way to the right.

    Is this the correct way to link switches?

    Thank you for the replies. Good suggestion on moving the switch link to the uplink port on the 2nd switch. I know the pic can be kind of confusing. Did the best to label the ports

    Is this the correct way to link switches?

    Attached is the picture of what I have setup. I am just wondering if this was the way you connect 2 switches together? And since we are here, does everything else look like its set up right? Wasn't exactly sure if they had to be in specific spots or not.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Hey guys looking for some help here. I have this camera set up and running on my bench for testing. Problem is I only have 1 of the camera feeds showing. Not sure how I get the other one to come up. In the NVR, I’ve been looking at the modify camera page but all I see is 1 channel and can’t...

    Trouble with HDW-2231 turret

    Don’t know if this would still matter but I know my iPad shared the same IP address as the camera did. 192.168.1.108 I have since changed the ip of my iPad but nothing is different.

    Trouble with HDW-2231 turret

    Took the camera down to bench test with a store bought cable and same thing happens. I suspect the camera is bad as I can’t even log into it. Am I out of luck? I imagine that in order to update the software I would need to log in first.

    Trouble with HDW-2231 turret

    Trying to get my camera back online and performed a factory reset by applying power while holding the reset button inside the camera. It reset the ip to the standard 192.168.1.108 I try going to the address in IE to set the camera up but it won’t open or connect or anything. I verify that I...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    I have not done a factory reset yet. I was hoping I could avoid having to open up the camera if possible. If I have to do the reset does anyone know for sure if there is a reset button? Can I simply plug the camera into the switch and then hold the reset button?

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    I’ve had this model installed and running fine for 2 months maybe but this week I noticed something weird. During the day the picture is washed out but not completely white. During night time when IR comes on the picture fades to black as the natural light decreases. IR lights on camera remain...

    @looney2ns if you had to choose between the 2 would you recommend the one you just posted or this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MQHD54L/ref=psdcmw_281414_t1_B07BW8FNVW

    Yeah space isn’t an issue. I see the point you make about having two if one fails.
