    Can't log in

    Custom. I pull in the Univ. Toulouse URL Filter, select the ads/pron/warez/etc. categories and create a blacklist conf file for dnsmasq (it grew: 1.2M entries now, around 100MiB RAM). Entries look like: "local=/0-0-0proxy.info/". There is only a slight lag in DNS resolution. I also have another...

    Difference between IPC-D24IR-S and IPC-T24IR-AS

    Now that you've said it, yes, the difference is obvious. :) Tnx!

    Or maybe it doesn't like me blocking a bunch of google 'tracking' domains (among the 850k domains I block).

    Can't log in

    Very oddly, that works. And lets me log in. Going to the login page (https://www.ipcamtalk.net/login) also results in the error. (In FF's debuggerer, it shows up as an error on the debug console.) ... Ah, a bunch of "cookie has been rejected for invalid domain" warnings about the 'SameSite'...

    Difference between IPC-D24IR-S and IPC-T24IR-AS

    What's the difference between IPC-D24IR-S and IPC-T24IR-AS cams (found on Amazon)? There seems to be a visual difference between them, but otherwise they have very similar specs. And the same price. … … Oh, wait. I may've just seen the answer. One is Loryta brand, other is EmpireTech brand...

    [Allergies are really bad; don't see a site support forum....] <<Hmmm. How did he post this if he can't log in?>> Anyone have any ideas why my Debian Bookworm desktop complains "cookies are required ..." when I try to log in here using either FF or Chromomium? I deleted cookies and checked...

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    Finally got into the XVR. The fan wasn't running (no voltage on the pins; inside was somewhat toasty). The 3V lithium battery was dead. (Makes me wonder if there's a 3VDC P/S on the mainboard.) The voltage output of the P/S is about 12.4 VDC on each pin. One of the network ports...

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    True, they all have limited B/W. But the cams were all working for almost a year. XVR only has two (or three) network ports. IP cams are connected to an external 24-port PoE switch. And both are connected to a UPS.

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    And given that the cameras are all at 7FPS, I don't think I'm anywhere near the B/W limit. :)

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    Agreed. In this case, the external P/S seems to be OK, measuring 12.6 VDC on all connections at the box. And the couple I checked at the cams were still at/above 12VDC. Of course, that means little with no load. ... Oh, I have a sack of 12V fans; a 2W fan might show me if the cam P/S is failing...

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    Sorry. Overlooked your post. No, I replaced one with an IP cam thinking I could use that analog cam in place of one of the failed cams. The other one still works in its original port. There was another analog cam (on siamese cable) that stopped, but came back when I switched it to an unused BNC...

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    Oh, duh; I forgot that. Cams are all at 7 FPS. The cams were all working when I installed the XVR, and did work for 2-3 years. Granted, some of the analog cams are 8-10 years old, but that shouldn't be a problem. Unless there's been lightning damage. Another oddity. When using the console and...

    Dahua XVR slowly not displaying analog cams

    I have a Dahua XVR (32 total IP+analog cams, 24 analog BNC ports). IP cams attached to it are OK. Recently, it appears that analog cameras are failing; just black display on the NVR/web/SmartPSS. But the cameras have power; I can see the LEDs and sometimes hear the internal relay click when it...

    What causes Analog camera delay and ghosting?

    Technically, it could be the cable. Ghosting can be caused by impedance mismatches in the cable; such mismatches cause part of the signal to be reflected back to the source. Another cause could be dirty/corroded connectors, but this often involves problems with color. There is a standard for...

    Anyone tried these SSD surveillance disks?

    Waking this year-old thread. Raw storage is important. But if you ever have to wade through 16 cameras over 20 days looking for certain classes of incident (employee with sticky fingers, for example), you will want fast access times for two reasons: (1) to find the incidents and (2) to export...
