Guys a simple metal screw will work with the donkey balls mount they provide. Well if you have a lip like i do on the cutter. A 2 pack of 1/2 metal screws at lowes is less then a dollar. 1 screw will hold but you can line up 2 if you try. Doesnt take much to hold this stuff the chinese way...

I went ahead and ordered a 120 for shits and giggles. It puts out a 100% more coverage then the older IR 18W tendelux I had. I am impressed and mine doesnt seem to be getting hot at all, Ill check again before morning. I do have it mounted at the edge of the underhang of the house. I have it...

Yeap, I bought one yesterday just to see what the difference would be . Boy did it make a hugh difference. I will do this to all mine that are mounted under the eve. Amazing how a 3 in drop makes adjustment wise and for lens flare. I used the solid boxes and drilled my holes where I needed them...

What I did today was I moved the camera forward almost to the edge of the eve and lowered the range just a little. My wire hole is showing out the back some but a little silcone will fix that. Seems to have fixed my problem. I lost some of my range but it was a easy cheap compromise.

I have the old style and they work great after 2.5 yrs. From what I can see not much difference here with the 20watt maybe even not as good as the old one. I need max range and max width so which should I order new or old style?

I am hoping a few inches will work the electrical box is maybe 2 to 3 inches deep I hope it works it will be a cheap work around. the wall is brick so that is a no go mounting there. To much trouble drilling into that. Spray paint ummm maybe a little to redneck for me. I did come across black...

Ok, I am getting IR reflection on a couple cameras I mounted under the eve of the house. How much drop would I need to fix that. I was thinking of using a outdoor weather proof electrical outlet box. I used this method to mount a camera on top my metal awning camera fit perfect on the box. I...

Wow...... My neighbor came by few days ago he is having the same issue with one of his dahua cameras. I told him to trash it and buy another, oops. I emailed him this link so maybe he can fix his. Had no idea they had silca in them.

Its supposely a dahua international version 6mp 2.8 poe camera. But no name on anything its one of the clones most likely. But 4 of them have been straight up awesome cameras for 3 years now. I never expected to get this much use out of them. I figured they be tore up in a year.

I looked it up because you guys made me curious. Its a Dahua OEM NVR302A-16/16P-4KS2 16 Channel 1U 16 PoE 4K & H.265 NVR4216-16P-4K Lite Network Video Recorder IP NVR DVR XVR Surveillance System (LOCAL SUPPORT, NO LOGO) n

I played around with it today and got it working. I have no idea what nvr it is. Bought it 3yrs ago off amazon suppose to be dahua or a clone probably. No manual, no tags on it no nothing. But it works. Had no problems with it but I dont do much with it. I dont network or anything used just...

Its the same tonight and during the day I had a haze high up in the camera view all day. Pllaying with the settings did not change a thing. It wasnt sun glare either we had very little sun today. I also cleaned it. I looked at the lens and there is something wrong it is not like the others...

No first time I have had this issue.

I have a new camera mounted on my barn and a security light about 100ft away in front of the camera view. The camera worked great until about 3am now all I see is a bright glare at the white light washes out the rest of the screen. It did have a small faint halo all night but wasnt a issue...

Can you guys post how you have the sound settings on your cameras. The new cameras i have do have a mic but the sound is coming in very low on the monitor. Plus I have no idea what the sound settings should be. Also is there a thread/post where you guys post screen shots of your cameras...
