    New Dahua install, help setting up AI features, alerts, etc

    Hi All, I have just setup 8 x 5442 cameras with Dahua NVR DHI-NVR5216-8P-EI - which appears to have a load of smart AI features. Attached is a preview of all the options and from what i've read - one feature selection disables another. Which is the best feature to capture people faces as they...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE S3 vs IPC-HDW5541TM-ASE

    With the glowing reports of the IPC-HDW5442T-ZE S3 on here and on the web I'm keen to have these installed. Supplier says the IPC-HDW5541TM-ASE is better or at least the same? Surely the 4-MP 1/1.8" CMOS image larger sensor is much better than the 5-MP 1/2.7" CMOS image smaller sensor? Anyone...

    Knocking sound when viewing Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW

    Thanks, i should have mentioned i tried this. Adjusting the mic volume increases and decreases the volume of the noise (yes i'm pulling at straws here) yet the room the camera is in is dead silent. I'm hoping to update the firmware this week and chat about routing another cable to the camera...

    Knocking sound when viewing Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW

    Thank you. Yeah, i have searched the web and not come across anything related to this either. It's a single camera powered by a PoE TPLink injector (which is exactly the same as my setup) but here is the part which could be causing the issue(?) then plugged into a remote controlled on/off...

    Knocking sound when viewing Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW

    Hi, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this knocking sound when viewing the camera and playback? The cam is running firmware 5.1 and i just noticed i cannot successfully format the memory card. I'm going to update the firmware and buy a new card in a day or two. Could it be...
