    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    My V1 5216-4ks2 originally ran V3 firmware. A few years ago I upgraded to a fairly early version of the V4 firmware. I do not use the very latest V4 firmware that I could be using. Detail you probably don't care about: Somewhere during the V4 firmware evolution, dahua added code to prevent...

    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    You have version 3 firmware. The latest is version 4. I'm running a fairly old 5216-4ks2 with version 4 firmware and as of a couple months ago it worked with P2P, although the smartPSS and DMSS apps had to be upgraded with newer versions. Be careful if upgrading the firmware. There are V1...

    Camera to watch over garden

    Does the animal detection cause a BI trigger? The advertising says this is a 4MP camera with a 1/1.79 sensor and f1.0 lens. This sounds like the new wiz-color line, which might not be able to detect animals, at half the price. It looks like the case isn't as robust as a dahua case is, but if...

    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    If the NVR works for other than connection to DMSS and smartPSS, I would suspect some kind of communication configuration problem. A while back, dahua changed the P2P servers and older versions of the remote software no longer connect. Perhaps an older NVR won't work with dahua P2P anymore...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    I'm surprised to hear this. I don't have a 4k-t to compare, but I'm pretty happy with how the 3.6mm 4k-x catches details over 100' away.

    Camera to monitor 5" x 8" LCD panel ?

    I'll compare notes with you. When I'm away I use an old 6mm 4MP chinese market dahua camera pointing at my touchscreen thermostst. At this point in time, this is considered a fairly low-end camera. It's very close to 32" away and works great. One thing I noticed is, if I have this right, the...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Judge Boasberg Admits He Can’t Stop Tren de Aragua Planes to CECOT This is the part that gets me: "The three-judge D.C. Circuit panel split 2-1. The two Trump appointees, Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, ruled for the administration. Judge Cornelia Pillard, an appointee of former President...

    The autism pandemic

    Pretty scary stats: Autism much more prevalent in boys. Nationwide 1 in 20 boys have it. In california, 1 in 12.5 boys have it. If these stats are correct, it is indeed a major epidemic.

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    I need to pay attention to this. It would be a reasonable solution if it really works. It just seems silly to me to not include what's already proven in the S3 cameras.

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    I have one big question. Since these are new phones with new firmware, why the heck aren't they including the animal detection?

    Off-Road IR light bar

    I'm using 11 of the round cmvision 4 watters, and I keep a spare for fast swapping. I lose one of the eleven about once a year and have a pretty high repair success rate. With these, and I assume most or all others, replacing an actual IR emitter isn't feasible because of the way they're...

    This is seriously bad. Instead of the muslims taking over, we're being sold down the river to Israel.

    Off-Road IR light bar

    Was moisture intrusion the cause of your failures? I bought a few Tendelux illuminators and all had moisture intrusion after a couple of years,. My theory is that the sealing gaskets shrank. They were all repairable, only one time because I think they'll have to be destroyed to open them up...
