    POE Switch Recommendations ??

    I have been using a TP-Link TL-SG1008MP V2 since 2017 and I have never had any problems with it. My dad has a couple of the same model that I use also and hes been using his for about 3 years now with no problems either along with another friend who has used the TP-link POE switch. It powers...

    Dahua Cam long distance question

    I think I came across that post a few days ago, what brand is the EPOE switch that you are using? and odd that the 2nd camera is only 2ft from the switch but not working like it should.

    Dahua Cam long distance question

    Will do. Would you happen to have any recommendations on what types of fiber optic cable or RF Links and links to narrow down what I would need? Also how does the Dahua Technology PFT1300 PoE Passive Extender fair against the extender that "Samplenhold" posted above?

    Dahua Cam long distance question

    Thank you for that link. It is up there in price just for that but as he said, if it gets the job done then he doesn't mind to pay that. For the work we did, it is temporary for 2 to 3 months until he gets his newly built house complete and then we are taking down the cat5 cabling thats...

    Bullet Mic Review

    Wonder if the Dahua NVR's or even the cameras have this functionality built in somewhere? I've searched for it and can't find nothing anywhere.

    Dahua NVR4208-4KS2 clock resets?

    Anytime I reboot my NVR which is usually just once or twice a month, the clock (with the live timestamps in each corner of each camera) resets and I have to manually set it each time. I have the NTP checked and unchecked and it does not seem to help any. Also the time zone always defaults...

    suggest Dahua outdoor ptz for roof viewing

    Is the Dahua PTZ's intelligent? looks like its automatically focusing on where there is movement and then zooming in. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

    POE/POE+ switch recommendations - calling @giomania @arjun @fenderman @cyberwolf_uk

    Good deal! One more question, are these loud? And would it be noticeable to hear, lets say if you put it in a bedroom?

    POE/POE+ switch recommendations - calling @giomania @arjun @fenderman @cyberwolf_uk

    Im thinking of getting one of these, but I read a few people saying it can eat up power, well... any switch can eat up a power bill. Just wondering if there is a big difference on kilowatt usage and if anyone has seen a substantial spike in there electric bills?

    Starting fresh, buying a Dahua NVR with PoE cams

    Thanks @looney2ns !! That is a pretty sweet camera! I wouldn't mind having that. Out of your own personal opinion, would that be a better choice then the HDW5231R-Z which that was going to be placed right beside my front door to identify anybody at my front door or I was thinking just the corner...

    Starting fresh, buying a Dahua NVR with PoE cams

    I checked it out and played with it, very nice tool! Wish it wasn't so limited without a membership but it does good if you just do one cam and then remove after your done and using the next cam model. However keeping the PPF>100 using the turret I mentioned earlier, it doesnt seem to go out...

    Starting fresh, buying a Dahua NVR with PoE cams

    Are they that bad? It seemed the review that @nayr posted seemed to be rather positive. Im just wanting to make sure I have one wide angle? just like the bullet cams I had with the Amcrest one. Those covered a good area and then get the turret I still plan on getting.
