    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Yes. I have since upgraded the power supply unit, and my replacement illuminator is still going strong. I'm not sure if that's a causation, but I'm inclined to think it may be.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    The warranty process couldn't have been easier, and the shipping was very prompt. Kudos to the folks who made that happen. I was impressed. I installed the new unit with the same high quality double walled heat shrink tubing on the connector, and also some RTV where the cable goes into the...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I pulled down the unit I have a few minutes ago for inspection. The unit is receiving 24v as expected, and it wouldn't power up even with the nicer power supply being used with out the cord extender. Looking at the unit, I can only think it was an internal failure which can happen to any...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    To their credit, they got right back to me and are issuing a replacement unit. I thought the process would have been more involved. I'll pull the original unit soon for inspection.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    That's refreshing to hear. Worst case scenario, I have another light to put up which I could use to illuminate my alley more.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I bought a better power supply and tried that tonight. It made no difference. I have contacted the manufacturer to see what they have to say.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    It is protected in the house. I tested it, and it is still putting out 24v. I'll test it at the unit tomorrow, but I bet it's good there too.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    My Tendelux DI20 IR Illuminator died after only 2 months. I thought it might have been the power supply, but it wasn't that. I'll inspect the unit at the mounting site tomorrow, but since I used high quality dual walled heat shrink tubing when I installed the connector at the unit, I'm 99.99999%...

    Captured: ATM Heist

    It was the other neighbor off camera to the right who called. That is the nicest dog which is in the video. She'll bark, but is way too friendly. I wish my Neapolitan Mastiff was still around. He would have had a grand time last night.

    Captured: ATM Heist

    Thanks for all of the comments, guys. To answer some of the questions: I live in a small town with a very short response time. The police were called and the police were there in a minute or so. My neighbor saw him from her porch and called 911. They got away. Without making this about...

    Captured: ATM Heist

    The bank behind my house was targeted for an attack on their ATM. This is something which is going around the area right now. This video allowed the police to end the search for someone who may have ran when they showed up. When zooming in, it's easy to see that they person is hooking something...

    Dahua NVR Fails to Email

    I tried my other gmail account, and nothing changed. I'm just not sure I understand where I'm going wrong. I suppose it could be anything from the router to the nvr to the other stuff in between. Everything works well with the exception of the email notifications and it's infuriating.

    Dahua NVR Fails to Email

    Thanks a ton for that help. I have adjusted my settings to reflect yours exactly, and I'm still getting the same result. Could this issue be with my router? I'll try to inspect those settings now. This is very confusing to me.

    Dahua NVR Fails to Email

    I hate to bump this thread, but am I the only one experiencing this problem? I found another site tonight when attempting to troubleshoot this, and the only thing I found that I hadn't done was to enable "IMAP". I did that, created a new app password, used it and found no difference. I'm really...

    Dahua NVR Fails to Email

    For some reason my email alerts with screenshot attachment stopped coming from my Dahua NVR, model number, NVR5208-8P-4KS2E. The emails stopped coming on March 16th. I've looked into it rather thoroughly, and searched out any forum post on here or elsewhere I could find. I've followed the Dahua...

    Dahua NVR3108-4k email alerts

    I had troubles, and I followed the steps outlined in this thread to solve my initial problem. That worked for several months before I stopped receiving emails again. I was unable to login to my NVR at all and upon putting a monitor on the actual NVR, I saw that the unit reset to the default...

    Thanks again Andy. I'm hoping that the little punk puts the word out that the camera coverage at my place is not worth the trouble.

    IPCs Paying off Right Away

    Well, it look less than a month between initial install and capturing my first person looking through my cars. this person came through my back drive, and then out to the front where he looked in another one of my 10 vehicles. Judging by the way he came down the alley and through my property...

    That worked. Thank you so much guys. I've been pulling my hair out for hours trying to get this going. Hopefully it goes just as well when I hook it back up outside!

    I don't think it has been fired up before, but who knows. Off to reset the camera... I'll report back in a bit.

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    OK, I tried to hook up my 5th camera to my NVR, and it does detect something, but it's not recognizing it like it does all of the other cameras. It assigns the camera to IP adddress 10.1.1.xxx while the others are 10.1.1.xx and numerical in order. The status is red, but it does list the device...

    Thanks for the videos and before and after comparisons. I've been impressed with the recent install of my 5442s, and I'm even more thrilled after seeing your comparisons. In regard to your videos, it almost looks like the guy is shining some sort of light on the door handles. Do modern cars...
