    Dahua camera phoning home to China

    I like having a security camera system to deter thieves, and its been useful capturing workmen who damaged property who didn't own up to it. Its generally been useful to have eyes on things. There are cameras which can be trusted, but they aren't cheap and typically dont come from China, for...

    Avigilon ACC7 available

    The UI was polished noticeably, but in terms of functionality, I didn't notice lot of improvement over ACC6 which I used for a few months before upgrading to ACC7. The biggest difference is the mobile app is pretty decent now and the alerting works well.

    Dahua cameras not holding correct time

    I'd be curious how changing IP address resolved the problem, did you change to IP address in the same subnet, or to a different subnet served by a different NTP server? I've recently been trialing another brand of camera that don't have this NTP issue and they perform as you would expect, ie...

    Dedicated NVR or BI?

    There’s differences in feature sets which may or may not meet your needs, most folks here prefer the power and configurability of BI. Once setup BI can be hassle free but I think initial configuration would be more time consuming. For easy Of deployment, and low hassle of ongoing operation an...

    Dahua cameras not holding correct time

    The cameras don’t follow the NTP protocol specification exactly (ref GMT broadcast) which results in some unpredictable behaviour depending on time zone and NTP server used. I reduced impact by brute forcing updates every minute. I’ve got wireshark scans somewhere but a colleague reported to...
