Are we talking TVs or workstations? ASP would certainly be the way to go if these remote locations are actual workstations already on the network.

You suggested needing a solution for remote viewing on TVs. ASP is not an option there.

Gotcha. Would these new locations be ethernet or wi-fi? Maybe a little of both?

So the cameras are all networked to the existing NVRs on an IP address basis via PoE switches instead of being individually plugged into the NVRs? As for acceptable frame rate, that's more an aspect of available bandwidth and processing horespower of say a Firestick or Android device to handle what ...

As a short follow-up, it should go without saying that the existing network topology and physical/structural environment obviously need to be taken into consideration when exploring possible solutions. A bit more detail there would be helpful in offering additional suggestions.

A camera can stream to multiple monitoring locations. Any number of methods could be used for remote viewing with individual NVRs not even being necessary unless desired for some reason. Depending on what would be considered acceptable quality / frame rate and the actual resolution capability and ex...

The MAC addresses are fixed. The only time the MAC address of the AD410 would change in Surveillance Station is if the wi-fi band would change. Each band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) has its own MAC address for the radio associated with it. If the MAC address is changing in Surveillance station so is the wi-fi ...

I appreciate all the input and generally understand the redneckery involved with mixing and matching stuff just to isolate a problem to a given area of a device. Problem is, I don't have anything remotely similar to the Dahua power board even for just a quick and dirty test of the camera. The one th...

An older post, but maybe this will still help. They're perfectly compatible with Blue Iris. I'd be more than happy to assist. The video settings screen for the camera will show the substream resolution if the substream is active in the configuration. The substream will also be the stream displayed i...

That's a very inspiring post for me. LOL I wish I had such determination, not to mention the knowledge and skill that comes with so much experience. Very cool of you to take the time to just toss that out for general consumption. I'm still a little lost with that Dahua board and surprised there aren...

I'm fascinated by this particular problem. Everything I've read leads back to the camera needing to be initially set up via Smart Home before anything else about it will work properly with anything else. Provided that... Everything is on the same network -- including the wi-fi. I'll go a step furthe...
