Yes nayr, NVR is POE. However, I am trying to connect without the NVR. I was using an injector to power the camera. I was hoping to be able to do a factory reset which I performed but the camera did not reset. It's like the NVR has taken over everything even when it's fully disconnected/removed.

@matt22, I remember reading somewhere re warm base. Apparently, that is normal and no concern. Mine also is fairly warm. Now a strange occurrence for me. For the first 2 months I set the camera up no problem and recording to built in sd card. Accessing I.E. login page was never an issue. I now...

Same here. Exactly the same. There may never be a firmware upgrade as Dahua are unlike others. It ain't broke, so ------------!

That's fine if you live in the USA. The Chinese websites will ship anywhere unlike Amazon. I know from past/recent experience.:rolleyes-new:

As an experiment I tried my Dahua DH-SD29204S-GN on colour for day and night. Result is not bad. Colours are washed out but still okay. Detail I reckon would be better with black and white (Auto setting).

Update: So far, no further issues with SD card. Regarding downloading/exporting clips and not having any audio. Due to the files being in the "Dav" format which is encrypted, the common media players can't handle this. Even selecting MP4 then downloading/exporting did not help. There are heaps...

Thanks nayr. For other users who are contemplating this camera and relying on audio recording to sd card. It appears not to record audio. I have checked and tried various settings relating to audio and have had no success. Playing back recordings through the browser does have audio. I can live...

You must have not read my post very carefully! First card was unbranded but the other was but same result. Anyway, after powering off/on both cards were recognized. Still ok so far. I have a question. Video clips have audio when playing through IE but when I download a clip to play (mp4)...

Yesterday local recording ceased to work to the built in sd card and under settings it no longer recognized the sd card!?! What!! Set everything to default after a re boot and still no good. Replaced the sd card with another one and again, still no good. No recordings at all as neither sd card...

Yeh, as I thought. No fog = perfect night vision with little false triggers, so I am a happy camper! The firmware is a delight to use for native english speaking people!!

My order was May 9 with no delays. Have had the camera installed outside (under cover) and everything is working as expected with no bugs/issues. One minor issue I have is fog looks like it is raining/snowing outside which is triggering false activation. Have a look:

I like your sense of humor nayr! Earlier this week, I received the sn29204s-gn. Setup was straight forward with no issues except for getting the audio detect just right (motion detect is spot on). Have had false activation's from a bird chirping and passing buses with audio detect. The...

I read the OP as using ZoneMinder in a VM with no issues. Not BI. Or am I missing something? A search on the BI site will confirm my statement re Ken's recommended specs.

Sklunge,12 cams with an i3 processor no matter how it's setup is just not going to happen using BI. Ken of BI even recommends a minimum i5 processor and preferably i7. Either upgrade your system or switch to something else. P.S. For me, BI with i7 and only 4 cameras.
