Your suggestion worked. Thank you so much to you and to TonyR who tried to help!!!

Bump. Anyone else have any ideas why I can’t access recordings in local storage?

The weird part is that when I check storage, there is definitely something being recorded as 151GB of the 256GB has been used up! But when I check Recordings, there is no data available.

Yes, before I inserted in camera & also reformatted while in camera. Recorded fine when I Enabled Smart Motion Detection > Humans. This is when I first tested it indoors before I installed the camera at our 2nd floor eave. As mentioned, I never tested recording using the Smart Plan > IVS option.

Hello All, Just purchased a new Dahua SD52C432GB-HNR PTZ from Andy @ EmpireTech. Works fine with Blue Iris using ONVIF triggers. And I have to mention, that before I installed it at our 2nd floor eave, I had tested the Event>Smart Motion Detection>Human recording to local storage using a new...

Sorry, I reset the camera already and was able to upgrade to the latest firmware. Disabled uPnP in config. Seems to be working fine now. Thank you all for your quick assistance!

I reset my cablemodem to factory defaults. Turns out uPnP was enabled by default, so I disabled that. Was able to factory reset all ip cameras & disable uPnP on all of them except for Hikvision DS-2532F-IWS which I disconnected before, ever since I discovered the red text overlay. Tried to...

Actually, I didn’t do a port forward.

I did go into BlueIris to double-check the login/pwd but couldn’t get in with it and yes, it’s connected to a Zyxel unmanaged switch & port forwarded.

Hello all! Posting a screencap of what appears in my Hikvision camera in BlueIris. Static ip address in my home network is 192.168.0.206 using Port 8095. This Hikvision camera is part of my BlueIris outdoor perimeter DIY 24/7 surveillance system which I am running on a Lenovo TinyPC with...

Changed the thread title to compare with the most recent mini-PTZ everyone here is familiar with. I know there are no IR LEDs, but what if there is enough street lighting? Looking to replace the 2MP DH-SD52C225U-HNI as they are exactly the same form factor.

I’ll have to do some reading up as I’m not well versed on fiber. My run is around 40’ (20’ inside; 20’ outside) through a PoE+ power injector, from a Zyxel PLA6456 powerline adapter.

Thanks for the reply. So would this be a more appropriate cable to use?

Hello All, just purchased a Black IPC-T5442T-ZE-S3 from Andy @Empiretec and planning to use this CAT6 outdoor direct burial rated cable to run PoE+ to the camera. Any thoughts or advice?

I was browsing the Dahua US website’s product selector and saw this new WizSense 32x Mini-PTZ. Specs sure look identical to the 2MP DH-SD52C225U-HNI but now with 4MP & 2560x1440 rez. Wondering if it’s worth waiting for as I’m assuming the Auto-Tracking would be as good as the SD4A425DB-HNY...

Sorry, one other question. Would a wifi booster/extender with an RJ45 Socket work as well?

Do these ip cameras work with Powerline Adapters. Location doesn’t allow me to run a CAT6 line directly to camera. I probably would have to use a PoE injector to make this work.

Having the IPC-Color4K-T180 as an overview camera paired with this SD4A425DB-HNY ptz would provide the best coverage I will have had of our driveway & street since I built our BI video surveillance system back in 2014! It would also solve my facial detection dilemma that my family keeps...

That’s what concerns me about this SD4A425DB-HNY ptz. I used to have a SD52C225U-HNI which already had a wider FOV (62.8°) and this was the view from our home’s 2nd floor soffit! The wife only wants 1 camera up there & if she makes me remove the IPC-Color4K-T180, I’m toying with the...

Is this still the case with the current DMSS IOS app. I am in the same boat as the OP wanting to somehow send a snapshot with the alert but can’t see any option in the app. :(

Still debating about getting this SD4A425DB-HNY mini-PTZ. I currently have an IPC-Color4K-T180 Black cam as mentioned in another thread & planning to use it as an overview cam. Was wondering if I can use a a PoE splitter like this one so I don’t have to do another 100’ run of CAT6 cable. I am...

Lowered to $125 w/FREE shipping!

Hi wittaj! Would I be better off replacing the IPC-Color4K-T180 at the same camera location with this 5442 varifocal camera if Human Facial Detection was my primary objective?

And what about this Solar Trail Camera? It’s got excellent reviews on Amazon & YouTube. It would also solve having to run ethernet cable underground! BTW it’s called the Campark TC22.

Which camera would you recommend please?

Sorry, link fixed!

So would the 3.6mm lens option be better than 2.8mm in this case? Or maybe a Pinhole camera like this would be better.

That’s a great suggestion to pull the camera out of the mount OR I could create a fake rock over the entire camera+mount and use it as the upper portion of the rock! Here’s where the rock would be located.

This idea might sound a bit far fetched, but I wanted to know which part of the lens has to be exposed if I were to cut a hole to conceal the entire camera. Was planning to put it inside a fake rock. I’ve enclosed a photo of the turret cam with a red circle around what I think the hole should...
