Glad you found the problem, all I had was, lb of semtex for the rodent. On a serious note, was it mice or rats or some other bugs, am putitng some ethernet cables in an attic of an old building, and am wondering if this is an issue, I can put the cables in a conduit, but what about bugs getting...

NVR Settings, I see it can do DHCP, would it be better to turn this feature on or would this result in IP addresses in a range that the rest of the network can't access.

OK, an update. MODELR of router, TD-W9970 v4, it is a TP Link device. I can connect to it via phones or any other computing devices either wirelessly or via on if its four LAN ports. I can confirm my POE switch and the NVR are connected to this Router / AP as LAN clients and my laptop and phone...

Hi David. I have no idea what router am uisng as an AP, I just found it in a box that someone gave me when they upgraded the router their phone / internet provider gave them, they got disconnected from that company and gave me the router they bought and no longer needed. It is a TP link, with...

This system lives off line in a safe location where one can not walk off with the NVR to hide their crimes, so there will be a record of any trespassers burglars or such, It is also backed up with another more covert system on its own network. I only accesed themm locally, and update ithem manually.

Yep, I manually update the system from time to time. The lan port is what my POE switch with all the cameras, and my AP is connected to. There is no router or DHCP server on this system, other than the one inside the NVR, the NVR uses two separate NIC's one for the WAN and another for the...

Here is an image of a similar setup, am just not using a router.

I do not use the POE ports on my NVR, I use a POE switch to power the cameras, and take a feed from that switch into the back of the NVR, which seems to work fine, it records the camera feeds when triggered. All ai want to do is add an AP to the switch, which I actuall did today, I added an old...

I must have asked a really dumb question, not a peep from anyone.

Hi everyone. Can I connect an access point to a switch, and then use that access point to access the other devices on the switch, its is not a managed switch and will not be connected to the internet so I would rather not use a router in the mix at all. . Cameras will be connected to the switch...

Thank you for the information, my eyes saw what I wanted the to, in regard to the cameras resolution. Does anyone have any images from this camera, night time or day, trying to figure out if 4mp is enough. Hikvision DS-2CD2047G2H-LIU 4MP Mini-Bullet Hybrid Light Camera as shown below...

I had a look at the camera spec, it states 4k, is this correct. It also states ColorVU, am I reading this correctly. I appreciate the information regarding the camera and light placement, thanks. If I use a junction box, will the camera still pick up tight along the wall, I would not want an...

Thank you for responding. There are no obstacles along the path, and no gates at either end. I know a top down view is not ideal, but it is my only option, I will be alerted to anyone under the camera and recording will take place, the spotlight is also a sensor light and am hoping when it comes...

Hi everyone. I have a situation where I need an IP camera to monitor a path at the side of my house. There is no place to mount a camera other than high up on the building its self. This will mean screwing a camera onto the wall and pointing it down to monitor the path that runs along tight to...

Sorry, even missed your previous post, will try to take what you say onboard, going to leave the system alone to see how it performs, I know all the settings am using so in a few days I will try out some of what is mentioned here and on the video. Thanks.
