    Newby Setting up Dahu Pan Tilt Zoom PTZ6C4G-45X Camera - on cell connection, without NVR

    Will be installing our new PTZ6C4G-45X out on a pole at our island cabin using just a POE switch connected to a new Vantiva Cobra Xtream 5G cell connected Router/Gateway that is replacing our old 3G cell internet. We are off-grid on solar in the cloudy PNW and the only internet is data metered...

    Inexpensive microphone compatible with Dahua/Empiretech PTZ6C4G-45X ?

    A shout out to the folks at Microseven - Intercepted my shipment, changed it to DHL (avoiding the Canadian Postal Strike). I just received the microphone and a 12V POE splitter and also got several RJ45 splitters to try out as tigerwillow1 said.

    Inexpensive microphone compatible with Dahua/Empiretech PTZ6C4G-45X ?

    Good idea!! - That sounds like a useful, straightforward solution and glad it worked for you. Sorry, had edited my initial wild guess of 1A to the actual 17 mA from the spec sheet. Just ordered a Microseven microphone (appears they sent it by post which will disappear into the vacuum of the...

    Inexpensive microphone compatible with Dahua/Empiretech PTZ6C4G-45X ?

    Thanks for the ideas about diodes etc. From what I'm finding about available PoE splitters, it seems that the most reliable way to power both the 48V 25W PoE+ camera and the 12V 17mA microseven mic at this remote location may be to just bite the bullet and pull a pair of 18 gauge 12V wires...

    Inexpensive microphone compatible with Dahua/Empiretech PTZ6C4G-45X ?

    Thanks All - Very useful info, miles ahead now from where I started on this :) Unfortunately there is no 12V output from this Dahua PTZ camera to power the mic. So on to figure out how to power the microphone with 12 V given that the camera is remote, way out on a dock and the only power is...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    Have a similar microphone powering issue in pairing a microseven microphone (which comes with a 12V power splitter Y-cable) with a Dahua PTZ6C4G-45X camera (use either 24 V power or PoE+ from my PoE+ switch). The PoE voltage - data splitter mentioned in the video above won't work since the...

    Inexpensive microphone compatible with Dahua/Empiretech PTZ6C4G-45X ?

    We just received a pendant type PTZ camera (PTZ6C4G-45X) from Andy. I don't think these have an internal mic but have wiring for Line in and Line out. Installing it on a pole on our dock and wanted to install a microphone to listen to the birds and ocean. It would have to be pretty much salt...

    Dmss Push notifications.

    Forgive this somewhat related Noob Question (While waiting for my first Dahua/Empiretech camera to be shipped): Can push notification to a phone be generated by a camera without an NVR (ie with camera connected via PoE switch to router). Camera is a PTZ6C4G-45X Thanks!

    Capabilities of PTZ Cameras

    Thanks - Andy sent me links to his store which I had not found on my own. Still wondering what onboard audio the Dahua PTZ cameras have. The specs are truly vague about audio - state that they are wired for audio inputs and outputs but it's not clear if they have mics or speakers. I know that...

    Capabilities of PTZ Cameras

    Good advice. Night vision isn't really high on the list. The waters around here are hazardous enough that we don't get many midnight teepee creepers. It's basically usually pitch black out there at night - clouds and the Fjord like inlet is surrounded by mountains. Salt water resistance...

    Well yes, the dock isn't normally lit (we are off-grid with solar power) but I have lights on the dock that I was thinking of putting on a WiFi switch so I can remotely flip them on to check at night if the float anchored off the dock is still ok during a big storm. Unfortunately the...

    Capabilities of PTZ Cameras

    Are there particular network protocol requirements from the connection or provider to get notifications? Because we have a clear line of sight over water to the tower, our 24/7 LTE connection is pretty good (can stream Netflix, do zoom meetings, connect our 24/7 solar monitoring system...

    Ahh - great 512 GB! Sorry, there are always two ways to take something online I guess. Sarcasm wasn't what was meant! Just was happy that it was > 64GB - It seems that the specs I found earlier were for a slightly older model the 4A425DBNR (i.e. not the -HNY suffix). Thanks for the URL...

    Thanks for that. Does the camera generate alerts with a thumbnail image ("rich notifications") or is that something that would have to be generated via an NVR or BlueIris etc.?
