I think he meant the connector on the camera if I read correct..

You can either mount the camera on a back box and put the connectors in the box, outdoor of course, or drill your long hole with a skinny bit, than take a short fat bit and drill a big space on the brick and put the connectors in that space. Make sure you silicone any space where water can get to the connectors.

Make sure in the settings in encode you have video checked in the sub stream.

I see what your saying now. You have an office and a house, two DVRS, two networks. You should NOT be able to ping the office DVR from the house and vica verca if you have two different networks. Are you sure they are two networks or are your ISP using one network and two accounts? If you are on your own network, sometimes the ddns will not work cause your using your own network to go outside the internet and than back into your own network. If you can ping your office dvr from your house, than that is the case and you would need to use your internal IP address to log into it. See if you can do an IPCONFIG on both systems and copy and paste the info into the forum for us, thanks.

I can't see how your ISP is doing anything for you to not access something on your own network. If I disconnect my modem from my network, I can still view my cameras on my network. Can you ping the IP of your DVR on the computer you are trying to view your cameras on? Do you have two routers or a main network or guest network?

make sure your not just typing the IP into the address bar, make sure you have http:// first and than :port # at the end. For example = http://192.168.1.200:8000

It is all your choice and what you need it for. You already know the benefits of a 'recorder' and you and only you should know if you need one or not. If your only looking for snap shots of a motion event and than you will log into the camera to see whats going on, there is no need to worry about fps. FPS will only matter if your recording to an nvr. The snapshot is a still image, there are no frames or seconds there, lol. And lastly, you keep mentioning 'for home use'. You do realize probably about 99.9 percent of homes with camera systems record their cameras, right?

Look at the most recent feedback. He sold roasted sunflower seeds on ebay! WTF!

I have a job coming up where I'm installing an NVR with 12 indoor mini ip domes, 3 outdoor vandal ip domes, and I need to install one camera in the call box for the gate. Usually what is done is a small board camera is installed in the call box and a small window is already installed on the box where just the lens is looking through. What are my options for an IP system? Any ideas?

Use something like this for internet, http://www.virginmobileusa.com/shop/mobile-broadband/broadband-2-go/sierra-overdrive-pro/features/ and use something like this for power, http://www.amazon.com/Sunforce-50048-60-Watt-Solar-Charging/dp/B000CIADLG/ref=cm_lmf_tit_1 Me personally, would tell the guy to get at least power to the location or I won't do the job. Are there any buildings near him? Maybe you can ask to install a good zoom camera off a nearby building?

Make sure you watch one camera at a time. Or if you want history, download the video first than watch it. Which DVR do you have? What is your bitrate set at?

You should check the data wires for continuity, or bring the camera to the DVR and wire it up with a few feet of wire. Or, swap PTZ's out and see if the working PTZ stops working in the non working spot. It's a pain in the balls, but you need to use process of illumination.

You tell any channel you want in the setting of the DVR the ID # of the camera. It helps keep things organized if you put channel 1 as PTZ 1, but you do not need to.

or buy a PC with HDMI out and put it on the same network as your IP camera and connect the PC to your TV

Or he forward the port to his external IP, that's why he blacked it out....

Just so you know, the internal IP address of your DVR is pretty much useless to anyone, LOL. Just make sure your DVR is set to static and your entering the same IP that is in your DVR to the same port you are entering in your TP link router. Also, I would try a 4 or 5 digit port rather than 82.

Can someone please change the title subject of this post to night time or moving images megapixel cameras?

This is a 130 dollar 1.3mp Dahua mini dome. Thats right, it cost me the same and even less than most analog cameras! Right click it and click view image.

Alittle better light today, but 130 bucks!!! " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" />

are you seeing lan or wan.........or lan or internet, like you are saying?

A few months ago my boss sent me to our distributor to get a megapixel IP camera for his mothers house which was under renovation. He told me to call him when I get there. I called him while I was there and he told me to ask for the cheapest megapixel indoor camera. The girl at the desk told me 380.00 is the cheapest one. I told my boss where I buy my cameras, they have much better prices but they sell chinese cameras. He asked me how much would one be so I made a quick call and I told him a Dahua 1.3mp mini indoor dome would cost about 130 bucks. My boss says it better look good or else. Well, I installed it and gave him the log in to check it out, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He is an old school installer and really hasn't been in the field for many years so what he is used to seeing is nowhere near an IP megapixel camera. But, bottom line is, that 130 dollar camera from china blew his socks off and saved him a bunch of money.

OK, I'm installing an IP system with dahua 2100 1.3mp bullets in a couple of weeks but in another state about a 2 hour drive. I'd rather not go back for anything if you know what I mean. I was told by the owner that it is rather dark around his warehouse where I will be installing the cameras. He's on a budget and has his heart on IP megapixel so Dahua is my choice. The 2100 bullets are extremely reasonable priced and will fall right in our budget. We are going with 4 outdoor and 4 indoor for location. He wants to keep an eye on his employees both coming and going and while inside as well. Anyway, I was thinking of running a cat5 for the cameras and an 18/2 for an external IR illuminator near the camera connected to an 8 channel camera power supply. Now, I have never done this before so for those who have with success and knowledge, where is the BEST location for the illuminator, above, under, or next to the camera? What tips should I know or things to avoid by using these if any? And lastly, are those 10.00 42IR ones on ebay worth anything at all? I am thinking of putting one illuminator per camera so 8 illuminators with the good 100.00 ones would throw us way off budget. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
