    Dahua NVR8CH-8P-2AI & IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 setup

    Thanks, I'm using using Edge with the IE tab while on the win11 pro PC. I didn't default the NVR because I couldn't find a quick way to do it, and I'm pressed for time it's leaving thursday morning. So I turned off all the cameras gadgets in the NVR. As for the shipping part. I re-installed...

    Dahua NVR8CH-8P-2AI & IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 setup

    Yeah it's a little messy right now, maybe real messy. I've been using Chrome on Win-7 launched by SmartPSS lite from home to play with it. Looks like a few options lot of the options don't show on it. I didn't know about the port redirection that the NVR does to get to the cameras. Once on...

    Dahua NVR8CH-8P-2AI & IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 setup

    I recently bought the Dahua NVR8CH-8P-2AI and 5 IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 cameras from Andy on Amazon. This system is going to California and won't have any technical people there so my plan is to set it up and send it there and have my maint' guy install it. He can run the wiring and mount the cameras...

    So do you think he shot her?

    It was nice coming from a very low dollar system. First time I've seen an HD over coax camera system since I've never used one. Didn't save the video

    So do you think he shot her?

    I don't do camera systems for a living but I have been doing them since the cameras had vidicon tubes in them. I've even repaired quite a few of them. I'm a tech consultant for a manufacturing plant now and handle all of the IT, control systems, and all of the facilities and electronics there...

    So do you think he shot her?

    yes, it's a crappy system no doubt. Her son installed it for her and I'm thinking he put a low dollar system in her house because she's on a limited income. She asked me to copy the videos to a flash drive for the police. I posted this because I bet most of the people with home NVRs don't...

    OK, inside joke I guess. Is it the shootings or Zoneminder ?

    So do you think he shot her?

    The NVR acually caught the flashes from the guns. Lots of them. They didn't show up on the videos that were exported or downloaded.

    So do you think he shot her?

    I agree, one of those NVRs with a tiny circuitboard in a little enclosure, it was set at the highest frame rate and quality. Her son installed it a few years ago. Have you ever worked with an NVR that captured gunshots at night? Since then I wonder how good the exported videos are on a good...

    So do you think he shot her?

    Just a FYI, last year a friend of mine had 2 drive by shootings across the street from her house. When watching the play back video on the NVR you can easily see the flashes from the guns. However when I exported the videos the flashes didn't show up. This was a Night Owl NVR which I think is...

    Not worth the time or trouble.

    I'm no programmer but I have been using Zoneminder since 2005. I used to install DVRs & NVRs and I still prefer Zoneminder over them for myself. The versions in last few years work very well and are super easy to install. I have a Clonezilla image with Ubuntu server and defaulted Zoneminder...

    Zoneminder Newest VERs easy to install and setup

    Zoneminder uses percentages or pixel count for zone settings. This can screw you if you have min/max settings like 15% min 75% max and someone opens a door that lets in light that goes over 75% Zoneminder will not record that event. I've had that happen on a cpl of occasions in the past so I try...

    Zoneminder Newest VERs easy to install and setup

    I've been using Zoneminder since 2005. And as most people will tell you it has not been "Plug&Play" I've been updating a few of my Zoneminder systems to the latest stable VERs. It was so easy I thought I'd do a post on it. The 1.34.xx vers really surprised me with the very low CPU usage and WAY...

    Not worth the time or trouble.

    I've been following this thread for a cpl of years. I started using Zoneminder in 2005. I still use it for small systems for one reason. The time line view. VERY hard to beat Zoneminder's version of it. The fact that it uses a standard browser with out plugins is nice too. Another thing I...
