Is there anyone here in Houston? I'd like to be able to "phone a friend" and/or be able to help someone else out here in Tejas.
Anyone in Houston?

Hey there, have you found any place that sells Dahua cameras here in Houston?

No, I have not. It seems like the really desirable models are international and that those in the US are re-branded with different firmware and more expensive generally. So, what's your experience level with designing and deploying IP cam systems?
Thanks,
Robert

I'm still learning but now know what type of cameras to use, what are the best locations and know the basic install/setup piece. When it comes to trouble shooting and port forwarding that's when I start to show my limited knowledge of the IT aspects of things.
I'd like to know how to set up a VPN as nayr has mentioned everyone should do instead of port forwarding. When it gets to that level, i'm hosed.
Right now I'm trying to figure out why one of my cameras is starting to get blury. It's 3 years old but its getting bad. I'm working with Vector to see if i can get the firmware updated and go from there.

I’ve got loads of software experience and have learned a lot about networks via custom software deployments.... I’ve done a lot of port-forwarding and established a few VPNs via Mac OSX Server.... do you have link to the nayr vpn suggestion? I’m assuming he’s suggesting to VPN into your local LAN when you’re not local.

Robert,
Giomania has a great document that he sent a link to: IPCamTalk Cliff Notes 2018-02.docx or:
IPCamTalk Cliff Notes 2018-03.docx
It's in this great document on page 8. To me it's too much to understand. Not sure if you've seen this document yet, but it's awesome.
