    Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API

    Ha, of course -- just as I figure it out. Yep, that is exactly what I also found for my newer CAMS. Nice -- and thanks for the info.

    Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API

    Ok, so got it figured out, at least for me. I am sure there is a better/designed way to do this but this is what seems to work for me. I have it seems 3 different 'generations' of camera (I am guessing different API versions). Some are pretty old and some I purchased within a year or so. The...

    Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API

    I'd be curious if anyone has figured this out for newer Dahua models. I am working on automating day/night from the Habitat home automation system. Older Dahua's work fine (I have 3 of them), newer ones I am struggling to figure it out! I'll post back here if I figure it out.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    So, I have also started messing with day/night settings but the day/night mode button seems to be missing. Is this missing for some cameras? It seems to be in the web v5 manual I downloaded? I have the latest firmware I could find (6/2-24) and the SD22404DB-GNY camera. Any ideas? Is this...

    Help Needed - Login Error on NVR W/ 5231

    So, first of all -- thanks to all for this thread. Saved my bacon! Just so others hitting this issue have another data point: I purchased a new Dahua dome camera from B&H, plugged it into my Dahua DVR (POE) and had a login error on the screen. I followed this thread and resolved as follows...

    Remote control for Dahua DHI-NVR42A08-8P

    Yeah, they look kinda cheap and from a few other posts the UI looks horrible for 10ft interface. Not sure if the mouse is an option as I want to integrate with my current HTPC setup and remote. Do you know if this NVR has the capability -- and possibly the remote is broken? Like I said...

    Remote control for Dahua DHI-NVR42A08-8P

    All, I just got a Dahua DVR and it is working well. It came with a remote and I am wondering if it actually has a IR receiver in it or not. It is a 'Lite Series Model' DHI-NVR42A08-8P. Anyone know? I have tried the remote and it seems to do nothing at all ... Just curious. Might use remote IR to...

    Newbee notes

    So to add to the newbie stories - audio in/out on camera. I expected that to mean it had a mic/speaker (you know like any webcams would). I got a 50ft cable and hooked them to the audio in/out on the DVR. Took about 30 mins of reading after nothing was working to figure out that that's entirely...

    B&H are good. Use them for other DSLR stuff too. They did have to drop ship. Arrived within a week. I expected longer. Not much else to say as all they really do is take the $$ and didn't have to return anything. Now I know a little more next camera may come from elsewhere if cost savings are...

    Yeah, I was considering that also - well see how my usage goes. For now I have an old 500GB in there but will upgrade. Am not sure about reliability etc when constantly running. How often have you needed to see something not recorded by a trigger?

    Newbee notes

    Hi all, my first foray into home security cameras so I thought possibly I'd note down here some 'first timer' lessons learned -- probably so obvious to experienced folks that they are not worth mentioning. However, had they been here might have helped me get things rolling faster! So my system...

    Dahua NVR + Amcrest Cameras

    So as someone who is starting in on Home CAMs/Systems -- did the Amcrest/Dahua work together? I bought a CAM from Amazon (Amcrest) and then figured out its really Duhua and so am going to go with Duha for everything else. Just wondering if I should return the Amcrest to Amazon or not ... Going...
