A 2x4 blank plate on a wall tends to become almost invisible if it is straight flush and level.īonus is you have a place to hide any additional relays repeaters or other non visibility needed devices and because it is a pvc box it does not block your zigbee or zwave signal to those goodies so they work better too.Troubleshooting IP cameras can be tricky and frustrating. It is always a tough pull when you are at the eve of the house to get to a outside wall but again a 2x4 box or 4x4 if you are really having to pull a lot located up near the ceiling inside wall and on outside a weather proof box to mount your device is how I have always done it and also watched many a pro installer do it the same way and it has always looked perfect. I like them better then patching drywall since I have had to go back into a patch more than once when I wanted to add a new toy… and My home is not a easy pull low pitch roof in some area and cathedral ceilings in other places. I will say I have used a few old work 2x4 junction box’s with blank plates in some critical locations to be able to fish wires through but then I either put a wall fixture on it color matched blank plate or some other easily removable device( like a motion sensor) and use the blank plate like it is a backplane to camouflage the penetration. I do not know about Hillbilly castle solutions my wife hates wires period if she can see them she is raising the roof complaining till they are no longer seen.Įverything from wall mounted flat screens to any automation has to be pretty. Note BTW: there was a publicly known exploit CVS from (2022) for some of the Dahua IP cameras around being able to alter time stamp a updated version of some older exploits I recall that was causing lots of chatter on the web last year so if you do get it up and working obviously a firmware update to latest if it is not done is prudent for sure. I got away from standalone DVR’s and all of the vulnerability’s that come with them and cameras with built in web servers. ie openhab is serving https and your camera feed is http easy fix for that is bind the nginx to serve https as well. Once I have them into the feed I simply send then to a nginx instance to serve them as dash and HLS then I can use a standard video card cell in openhab and they are just plain tagged video feeds only gotcha you may hit is if you end up in mixed mode. I only have 2 that are wireless all the real important ones are hardwired with hard wired video and I run them through a 4 channel capture card and OBS and a DVR app. I have had good luck with Honic cameras good price with nice low level light response and very stable. My rule is if it fights me from day one it will fight me on a day when I do not have time to fight and then I find a big hammer to end the fight ! Honestly if that does not allow you to access and your power supply or POE injector is fine then it is time to send it back.įar to many other decent wireless cameras to fight with a flaky one. If so and you are using a premade 100 foot power cord I have seen them fail to boot due to voltage drop on those premade cablesĪlso if the power supply you are using has not got high enough wattage rating it will drop to below 11.8 volts with load and the camera will not power up either. paper clip salute!Īs a off note how ever most of the “Non Dahua branded” and other knock off lower end cameras default to 192.168.0.*** that I have seen usually it is 100 or 10 If it does not work that way you have a issue with camera.Īnd if a hard reset does not clear it then time for RMA. Restart the power to camera and watch for any response. 1 cable from port on hub to pc hard wired and static ip to 192.168.1.110 use a gateway of 192.168.1.1 does not matter but that will avoid nag from winders or nux depending on your pc OS flavor
