That Looks Great! Is that camera just sitting on the ground?

It is sitting on the edge of a table in those shots. This was before I even started testing locations, just to see how the cameras did with the external IR light.That Looks Great! Is that camera just sitting on the ground?
I went and ordered this IR illuminator . Seem to have good review and one of Amazon best seller item.You could try one of these pointed out towards the mailbox:
Amazon.com : Univivi IR Illuminator, 850nm 12 LEDs Wide Angle IR Illuminator for Night Vision, Waterproof LED Infrared Light with 12V DC Power Adapter for IP Camera, CCTV Security Camera : Camera & Photo
if it doesn't work for you, you can easily return it.
I got a few of these and with my testing they work pretty well.
Here was my test when I was just getting the units:
No IR, just the streetlight on the other side of the house:
and with light above and to the left of the camera:
I tried that one too, along with the 18 LED version. So far I think the 12 is the best of the three. The 6 LED one is a bit more of a concentrated spot light, so if it doesn't work out you can still return it as they are from the same Amazon seller + Prime with no hassle returns.I went and ordered this IR illuminator .

I didn't need the power adapter since I have a box full of them so I am saving about 10 bucks going with this one.
Thank you
I had the same issue, the camera seems to be working fine, but an incorrect MAC address is a little disconcerting. Anyone have any ideas why the MAC address in the camera is different than the one on the base?I had the same problem. I set up a DHCP reservation using the MAC on the base of the camera. Rebooted the camera several times and it did not receive the IP. Checked the config tool and web interface and noticed that the actual MAC was different. Everything working fine now with the correct MAC.

I've seen some London's cctv foot age on the news, and it's bad.We had the CID around yesterday (UK Police) and again the officers have said the footage from this camera that they have been given is the best they have seen from home CCTV (they have day and night footage from an ongoing incident).
Unfortunately this is more serious than the last one so I can't post any footage.
If you are asking about cameras that are on its' own network plugged into the PoE portson NVR the answer is no. If you are using Dauha NVR with the latest unofficial firmware, you should be able to configure each camera including the IVS directly from the NVR menu.Newb question hoping to get a quick answer:
-Do you need to plug a brand new ipcamera into the router to change anything (IVS setting, IP address, Password) before installing them?
-If the ipcameras are already installed before that was completed, how do you go and make these changes (IVS setting, IP address, Password) to each ipcamera itself? Password to the NVR login has already been changed. Not sure if you need to do anything to the ipcamera itself for security purposes. TIA

Thanks @TechBill @Solar Deity .
I plugged the ipcams into a Dahua NVR within the same network and it all works dandy and displays video correctly. Just curious if it was essential to change the PW and maybe IP of each ipcam so that they are not default (and an easy target for hack). I recently updated my NVR to the latest DH software so that I get the Dahua logos. Is the latest unreleased version generic or Dahua?
