Ethernet connector on Dahua IP cam (6 pin no striped blue or striped brown) shorted due to water contamination. Combination of sweeping winds and water managed to get underneath the soffit above the garage and got into the PVC conduit where the Cat5e connected to the cam RJ45 keystone. Managed...

I've set up IVS with line crossing and tried a few other settings but have turned off SMD settings. Notice that I no longer receive notifications on the mobile DMSS app although I have stipulated motion, A.I analysis Tripwire and Intrusion. Anyone find this and if so found a resolution?

Holding out for a cam with larger sensor 180 view that offers a I.R. filter. I can always add a I.R. illuminator.

Decided to try a Dahua 5MP Full-color Active Deterrence Fixed-focal Bullet WizSense Network Camera. Having issue with the active deterrence part of the camera whereby if I only specify A.D. lights only I get both lights and active speaker alerts. Even if I specify schedule A.D. only I get A.D...

The "client" is my mom, no money for services was exchanged. The cams and NVR function locally and on her phone DMSS app which is all she cares about. This is the second Dahua NVR I installed a non POE NVR is at my place of residence whereby I use a POE switch. Not my FT or PT job but a field of...

New Dahua POE NVR installed at client aka mom's place. NVR assigning cams internal I.P. addresses of 10.xxxx making it so cams can not be directly accessed via their assigned I.P. addresses. The NVR is attached to a router which has assigned it a I.P. address and I've made that static on the...

Maybe I had a dud, but the I.R. variant was better all around. Also the L.E.D. version light isn't that low of a setting at #1 vs other Dahua cams with L.E.D. I now prefer to use an offset I.R. illuminator for added visibility or light away from the camera as it minimizes the majority of false...

Encode as shown. Shutter priority 1/60. Backlight off with white balance auto.

Installed a prosumer Hikvision cam at co-workers place and noticed it had an LED that was triggered by motion as a setting. Can't seem to find this feature on Dahua cams. Any models I missed on my searches?

Tried both with B/W and color. The ASE was able to provide color with lower ambient lighting than the LED version.

Recently purchase 1 of each of the IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE with the I.R. and IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED with L.E.D. The difference on paper between these 2 cams is one having Infra-Red and the other having a L.E.D. light. My field experience is different in terms of low light visibility performance. I...

Just ordered a IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE the I.R. version vs my initial L.E.D. IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED variant. Going forward I won't be ordering any further camera's without I.R. capability as I prefer to turn off the built in camera lights and use offset lighting or I.R. illuminators. Lights on camera...

Can anyone explain why a camera with a 1/1.8" sensor can have a F stop of 1.6 while a camera with a sensor of 1/2.7" can have a F stop of 1.0?

Figured so much. Thanks for they reply.

I accidently disabled P2P on Dahua NVR now can't connect remotely. Am I s.o.l. until I can turn on again at physical location?
