    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

    I have this IPC-HFW1831C-PIR and the IPC-T5442. Great cameras. I know the PFA130-E can work for the IPC-T5442 but is there a junction box that could work for the IPC-HFW1831C? Maybe the PFA134 with the included swivel mount? It's got about a 2" diameter 3-hole pattern and no cable management...

    Can Hikvision OEM devices be force-updated vanilla firmware using TFTP?

    Tftp forces an upload of data to a device's NAND. It basically replaces the current blocks. Kind of like when you upgrade your computer's BIOS, but across a network (serial, ethernet) using a remote protocol (tftp).

    Can Hikvision OEM devices be force-updated vanilla firmware using TFTP?

    You get the error, but does it work? And what about TFTP, have you tried it?

    Bricked SV3C IP 1080P Firmware help

    I am not sure if it'll work, but did you try SV3C's AjDevTools? I just flashed a SV-B06-4MP-A w/ it last night. PC Software A Series Download | SV3C Thread is old, did you get your TFTP to work? I thought I'd have to do it myself, but AjDevTools worked for me.

    Cheapest Hardware for Milestone

    I run Milestone Xprotect Essential+ in an ESXi VM with 4 vCPU @ 2.0GHz and 8GB ram, H.264 w/ no HW acceleration. I get 10-15 FPS recording on all 5 cameras I own concurrently, including a 4K camera (was shocked). Other cameras are two 4MP and two 5MP. Try THAT with ZoneMinder! ;) BTW...

    ipcam for NSN-608(4K)-8P

    Very helpful I was looking at this NVR as it is cheap AF and could go in a pinch for people wanting first system without turning their wallets upside-down - only $200 rn + $20 BF coupon = $180 But what kind of NVR is it? I know it's an OEM, looks like Nelly's Security, but is it a re-branded...

    Anybody familiar with Dahua 58xx 5816/32 NVRs?

    Blue Iris on Ryzen mini computer w/ dual HDD USB 3.1 enclosure?

    I was thinking that as I wrote it ... and no QuickSync I think I will just throw some old hardware at this project if I can get away with it. How is the CUDA acceleration these days, would it be worthwhile for me to get a decent video card for acceleration, or just stick to the iGPU? I need...

    Can Hikvision OEM devices be force-updated vanilla firmware using TFTP?

    Hey, I've been wondering about this and would love to know if anyone's tried it I've updated an old DS-7332-HGHI DVR using the Hikvision TFTP tool with International firmware before just to try it because it was a newer version than the USA firmware. It seemed to work just fine Which makes...

    Another dumb "which brand is better" thread: Dahua VS Hikvision

    Back on topic - I'm noticing the Hikvision model that corresponds with the Dahua NVR5432's 300Mbps incoming bandwidth is the Hikvision DS-9632NI-I8 which has 320Mbps incoming bandwidth It looks like a nicer NVR (more in line with Dahua NVR5832, which is not sold in US and has 320Mbps incoming...

    Another dumb "which brand is better" thread: Dahua VS Hikvision

    Thanks for the heads-up about special camera feature support on the NVRs Most the off-brand cameras I see advertised say Hikvision-NVR compatible or ONVIF with other NVRs, that's what you're talking about, right? I get what you say about the Toyota vs Honda thing - was just more curious if...

    Another dumb "which brand is better" thread: Dahua VS Hikvision

    OK, I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm doing it anyway I've been a Hikvision user, was thinking of switching to Dahua, but have never used one before All the "this vs that" forums are fairly old now, and was just wondering for Q4 2019: Which NVR mfg is better? Has anyone switched from...

    General questions about Dahua Firmware

    Hey So I have never worked with Dahua NVR before but am looking into getting one for a client A few questions came to mind: 1) Am I correct in thinking 5xxx firmware covers anything NVR5000-NVR599? I don't see any firmware name more specific to the NVR I'm thinking of buying - NVR5832-4KS2...

    Anybody familiar with Dahua 58xx 5816/32 NVRs?

    That's a great looking NVR but likely a bit more beefy (and expensive) than my client wants. But there's no real issue getting the international version, right? I think I found the firmware here: Firmwares I am going to start another thread specific to firmware so this doesn't go off course...

    Anybody familiar with Dahua 58xx 5816/32 NVRs?

    Yeah, but I'm not seeing the 58xx line from any USA resellers is what I'm saying Only direct from PRC That's what I thought was unusual. Nobody has quite addressed the OP yet, sorry if it wasn't clear.

    Is Lorax N881 a rebranded Dahua N54B3P?

    Hey What's the deal with Lorax, are they just re-branding Dahua NVRs? The N881 in the Costco 4K package deal for $1299 looks quite a bit like the Dahua N54B3P Do Lorax products really suck as bad as everyone says? Am I right in thinking I should steer clear and get a genuine Dahua NVR? Am I...

    Anybody familiar with Dahua 58xx 5816/32 NVRs?

    Hey, so I'm intrigued by this 58xx line by Dahua like NVR5832-4KS2 NVR5832-16P-4KS2 etc.? (the 16P is the POE switch version But I don't see anything about 58xx on the USA website, only the international one I've seen some sellers on US stores sell them, but they ship direct from China -...

    Difference between Hikvision Turbo HC and ML firmware?

    Hi, I've got a couple Hikvision DS-7332HGHIs at work. We'd been using 3.1.8 HC 180130 which we are used to. I tried to update one of them (our backup) to 4.2 and accidentally bricked the device, so I restored it using TFTP and Baseline Firmware_DVR(SH series)_ML_3.3.4_170220 What's the...

    I take issue with this page about Blue Iris hardware:

    That's true. I didn't mean clock speeds, but I was reading some opinion pieces about this very subject that seemed pretty credible. Upon reviewing how the cpumark score is calculated I admit that I most likely stand corrected. I was trying to find what I had read for reference, I think it may...

    I take issue with this page about Blue Iris hardware:

    Processors really haven't gotten any faster for the last 8-9 years. Their iGPUs have gotten considerably better, that's about it. You're right, I'm not read-up on Blue Iris graphics support, and it's entirely plausible that my HW recommendations were ill-conceived on that basis. I'm just...
