    I'm changing cable companies, and I'm going to wind up with a new cable router. My current router has a gateway ip address of the 192.168.1.x variety, and I have no idea if the new one will be the same. I'm running BI with 4 Dahua cameras with fixed IP addresses and no VPN. Is there anything...

    Camera/placement suggestions

    My first post after reading for weeks here - thanks for all the great information. I am looking to cover my front door, garage and back door, and I've been playing with the IPVM calculator. My thoughts for each are the following: either the HDW4231EM-AS 6mm or the HDW5231R-Z, though I am open...
