    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Sorry to jump in here but, about the RJ45 burnout. I have had 3 poe plus cameras (that have been up a couple years) have chernobyl incidents only on the camera ends. So, my question is, dielectric grease or not? I've read about it causing issues. All 3 connections were the weather-sealed ones...

    Yes, all cameras are static. No conflicts

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    FINAL FIX UPDATE! It turns out, the socket error was caused by the last run of cat 5e cable, between a POE hub and the camera. I tested the camera after attaching it right at my main switch. The test camera worked fine where the ptz is, because it doesn't pull the same wattage as the ptz. The...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Today I started at the camera. I disconnected the affected ptz and plugged in another Dahua 2mp starlight and all day it has been rock steady. Zero signal loss. Pretty confident it is the camera. Something with the network part of it. Sucks as it was purchased July 2022. It is a Dahua unbranded...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    You were right. The live view in the browser did have freezes on BI PC but a laptop connected to the same network.. the live view was steady. I changed the BI PC to wifi and it resolved it. Im so baffled to why. This same BI PC has another camera (same model) that has no issue. Not sure how...

    Storage Confusion after PC restart

    Update: Contacted support and the answer was to make sure the DB is on the local drive. It was so I just eliminated one of the 2 externals and used the local drive for new files. Basically this problem is unfounded. Don't use external drives is my hypothesis.

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Totally stumped. One of my cameras on BI will lose signal and fail to connect but on the same PC, I never lose the live view using a browser on the same PC. Been using the same settings in video configuration all along but did try deleting and adding it back in fresh. When using find/inspect it...

    Storage Confusion after PC restart

    No. Its been about a few hours and it still is an issue. Really don't get why BI doesn't recognize BI files. The Grey files should be Blue. (in the storage section) It also happened on older versions.

    Storage Confusion after PC restart

    Can't seem to understand what is happening here. After my PC restarts, the external drives immediately show up in the GUI in BI as OVER ALLOCATED. Now right before the PC restarted, everything is fine and there are no over allocation popups. The drives are only used for BI, and when the PC...

    Troubleshooting Push Notifications

    How inconvenient that is. My one year is up in July and 2 months later, I have to buy another year. Sounds hokey but can't really complain that the year is 35 bucks. Especially since I waste money on dumb stuff all the time. Guess it is my bad luck.

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    How did you do with this project? I am currently looking for a simple wired solution for a customer. Really only need it for a senior clubhouse office who wants to be able to communicate with video and allow entry from the office without walking to the door. Was looking at the Dahua KTP03 but...

    New Dahua GUI issue with day night

    I am having trouble understanding how Time plan settings work. I set up my night profile to settings I want, then dragged the night color along the month of May, at the time frame I want it to take effect. In the section where night is not in effect, I dragged the day settings. Apply the...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Thank you. I see this has a close focus min of 5.2 feet. That may work well. Probably going to do some more searching because the 1 / 1.2 sensor is incredible on the 5849 so far. What a huge difference from the 5231.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Realizing that getting one in 2.8 isn't going to be a good upgrade from my 5231, at my front entry. With a close focus at 14 feet, nobody at my door will be in focus. The 5231 distance is .3 meters. Guess its going somewhere else lol. Got 2 from Andy
