    Dahua CCTV on a different NVR - AI functionality?

    Hi, I have Dahua cameras (IPC-HDW5442T-ZE) on a Dahua NVR (NVR5216-16P-EI). To be honest, I don't really enjoy the app of Dahua that much and would prefer to use an NVR of my alarm system (AJAX). My question would be regarding the AI functionality - how does this work together? Will the cameras...

    Bullet vs. wall-mounted turret

    Regarding the specific two models, the differences seem minor to me. Yes, the bullet has 4 instead of 2 IR LEDs, but my distances are not too long and the main thing I want to cover is the front door, which is right underneath. So seems to me at least for this scenario and these two cams, I can...

    Bullet vs. wall-mounted turret

    Hi, I have bought a bullet and a very similar turret cam: 1x IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 1x IPC-HFW5442E-ZE Initially I wanted the turret directly next to the front door, but now having both cameras in front of me, I am a bit surprised at how much larger the bullet is in size. Is there a real advantage...

    Sounds good, so I‘ll mount them as planned…

    Turret side mount outdoor?

    Hi, I was planning to mount my turret cameras on the side - mainly since it looks nicer: Before actually mounting them, I wonder if this works properly in the middle of a high wall with hardly any protection of a roof overhang. Will this be an issue, e.g. with rain? If possible, I would...

    Turrets with 1/1.8 sensor?

    Any objections? 8 cameras are for sure enough for our tiny place… I assume connecting 1-2 indoor cameras via WiFi is possible? Not sure if there are any features I should pay attention to or any alternatives worth thinking about?

    Turrets with 1/1.8 sensor?

    Alright, I'll get the IPC-HDW5442T-ZE as a start. I also need a bullet - which one would be a suitable equivalent? The IPC-HFW5442E-ZE or the IPC-HFW5442E-ZHE? And a suitable NVR would be needed as well - which one would you recommend? It's just a home setting, I would only plan 1 HDD and even...

    Turrets with 1/1.8 sensor?

    Thanks. Based on your input, I narrowed it down to the following models for the turrets I need: IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE - Basically your go-to recommendation for $149? Looks all good, though I'd have to simulate which lens works for me (likely 3.6) IPC-HDW5442T-ZE - More flexible than the previous...

    Turrets with 1/1.8 sensor?

    Maybe I‘m also looking for the wrong cameras altogether? Not sure I need dual light and others seem to have larger sensors, correct? Is there any overview with recommendations on which cameras to buy?

    Turrets with 1/1.8 sensor?

    Sorry for the newbie question, but when I read many recommendations, I come across a lot of comments recommending 1/1.8" sensors with ideally 4MP. Or is this old news and the newer cameras are fine with smaller 1/2.7 or 1/2.8 sensors and more pixels? I wouldn’t mind 4K, of course, if the night...

    Indoor cameras purely for alarm verification?

    Hi, we have an alarm system with magnet sensors as well as PIRs. My thought is that still, I‘d like to have 1-2 internal cameras as well to verify that it is isn‘t grandma forgetting about the alarm in case it goes down. Which visually non-obstrusive Dahua cameras would you recommend...
