    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Interesting. Looking at the Acupick 2.0 announcement page undefined - Dahua International they list NVR5-EI, NVR5-XI, NVR6-XI as having Acupick 2.0 Are you saying I have Acupick 1.0 over Web, but Acupick 2.0 on the console?

    How to configure Dahua NVR with two cameras best? AcuPick? AI by Recorder? AI by Camera?

    In my setup I do IVS on the camera and facial recognition and facial detection on the recorder. Seems to do the job. Don’t forget to create a facial database and a passerby database!

    Best I’ve got until I get back in front of a laptop tomorrow. The iPhone struggles via browser:

    No hdmi involved as I’d have to take a photo of the console monitor. Those were screen grabs of the chrome browser. Not sure why your firmware is so old. Why not update it? DH_NVR6XXX-I_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.6.R.240721 Looks to be from July 2024, much newer than 18months.

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Yes I believe its using the latest UI from Dahua: Like all of the Dahua UI's there are quite a few places where it still prompts to download the IE browser addon. I only run Mac so thats a dead end for me. I dont believe the -XI is different from the -EI except for being able to do more...

    Shameless plug for the NVR5208-8P-XI. Its like the -EI but has support for more features on more of the 8 cameras. Unfortunately Andy doesn't sell them, I imported my own. Mine setup is plug and play now with a mixture of 5422 cameras. It took a while to get the features working the right way...

    NVR continually contacts many Dahua Websites

    I only allow NTP and Apple push notification connections outbound. Everything else requires me to VPN into the cctv subnet. Makes me feel better when im asleep :)

    Dahua NVR purchase advice - would like latest software/interface

    Dont forget the 5xxx-XI which is newly released. I imported mine. Whereas many functions on the -EI are limited to 1 or 2 cameras, the -XI does them on all channels. Well worth a look, and in my view, worth a bit of hassle to import and wait a month. Edit: I run the 5208-8P-XI (two drive, 8...

    Doorbell to replace aiphone jo-dv

    I have a aiphone doorbell / intercom that has died. Ideally Id like to replace it with a Dahua system that I can also connect up to my NVR. The challenge is the jo-dv intercom panel on my front wall is 180mm * 100mm. From what I can see the Dahua replacement is quite a bit smaller and it will...

    Empiretech NVR - Link Quality = Poor

    Same here. My shortest run is 10 metres of Cat6 and it says link poor.

    Dahua Stranger Face Detection

    Thanks - great steer. Ive added a passerby database and will let it populate and see what I can get it to do. Appreciate it.

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Can confirm Andy ships to Aus. I had him ship me a varifocal IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 (a rebadged 5442) which allowed me to work out what I needed from a fixed lens point of view. I have 4 * Dahua 5442 cameras (of different types) in my setup. I imported a DHI-NVR5208-8P-XI from Alibaba as it gave me...

    Dahua Stranger Face Detection

    Loving the Face Detection and Face Recognition on my NVR5208-8P-XI with a handful of IPC-5442 cameras. Ive added the Family mug shots to the Face database and silenced those alerts on DMSS and that works really well. Ive set the similarity at 80% and its amazingly accurate - regardless of...

    AcuPick 2.0 - NEW AI features for Dahua cams / NVRs (presentation)

    Looking forward to the July firmware release for my NVR5-XI NVR. The Animal detection on the S3 cameras was an awesome update.
