    Dahua firmwares sources?

    Welcome to IPCT! "I think I bricked it" is the utmost vague root cause analysis, it will definitly help to understand exactly what you did. Did you try to flash it? If so, with which version (download link). If not: what where you doing in which screen? Typically root causes with "rebooting...

    Having trouble configuring Dahua IVS

    Hi Denis, I never setup smtp on the CAMs, only on NVR. And as your first cam does send out emails, it should be OK for the second. What I discovered on my HDW is that ticking the "email" checkbox in the IVS rule on the NVR did NOT propagate well towards the camera itself. So login on your HDW...

    VTO2000A new V4 firmware

    WHY reset VTO? Euhm, because it is not working? Because it is crashing? I think you wanted to know HOW and not WHY :p

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Hahaha, I like you taking my previous post as constructive as possible :p So whilst reading your post, I think you might be stuck anyhow in any "step 1" ;-) (check the numbering). But I think it's simply a copy/paste error from https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/EasyRSA3-OpenVPN-Howto...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    I cannot make up anything from your post. I think it's better to watch a youtube movie on someone doing this stuff. Or you let someone do this for you.

    IP cameras through POE switch into Camera port on NVR. Not work.

    In addition to Chris above: the easiest way to to hold the factory reset button of the camera (whilst being on the POE port), if you are lucky (and especially when these cams are Dahua too), they fall into "auto-initialising" mode, hence the NVR will configure them accordingly to fix hocus pocus...

    New system to protect my house

    Hi @bertnl it's never cool when people force you to invest in expensive material, which may (or may not) have a positive return on investment. Hence our suggestion to do your huiswerk, ploughing through the Cliff Notes etc. My personal tips are: don't install camera's too high: although they...

    NVR and Camera Roles with IVS / Motion

    If you look in the "Storage" Settings on your NVR, you'll see WHAT your NVR will do WHEN any event happens (eg: MD / IVS || 24/7 recording). You can even specify per day/timeslot on what to do when. Hope this helps! CC

    Are you aiming to DMSS or iDMSS/gDMSS. The latter still works on my devices.

    Multiple Cameras on Multiple Monitors

    It may just be me, but from the original use case, I note down that, with a specific noise, the machine needs to be stopped. It's true that when paper is flying around, a visual confirmation by the camera's on multiple screens is a plus, but ample camera's with microphone can detect (peaks) in...

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    Well, I'm gonna make a pun remark, but "did you stick it deep enough" in the mount part? ;-) The tamper button is there for a reason, if you don't like it, you can always try to put some scotch tape over it so it gets pressed in all the time, but that undermines its purpose when actually...

    Hi Bruce! Why don't you want to go back to "stock" Asus? On all my ASUS I don't run stock neither, yet I apply the RMerlin fork (which includes the Asus yet but tons of add-ons and security fixes which Asus lacks). Did you already deploy OpenVPN server services on the dd-wrt? That's a first...

    FTP Snapshots Question

    As the NVR/IPC are really dumbasses qua configuration, what I would do is run a cronjob every X minute and do "rm -f *.dav" in that upload folder. problem solved.

    I like the suggestion of "thorned" plants (or barbed wire :D). However, you might think about the "bigger" picture. You can't indeed "stick out" some camera's on your outside walls, they will be knocked off quickly (vandalised) or stolen. My suggestion would be - under condition everyone is...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    I don't think BestBuy is the best IT consultancy shop :p They are box-movers (FMCG) and like you wrote, subscriptions might marginwise much more interesting. It's no surprise they don't know each and every dirty specification bit of all the stuff they sell, they rely on the smartest customer to...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    You are right, adding OpenVPN Server on a linux/windows/dd-wrt is not a "regular" walk in the park. And you are thinking out of the box to create keys on your windows and inject those in your dd-wrt. It could potentially work, but then again, not your regular walk in the park. Even configuring...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Your router with dd-wrt has ssh access, it "acts" like being a real pc, so you can execute key generation scripts (provided within the OpenVPN server package). Now, from your post, I sense that linux is a bit newish to you, so my suggestion is to go for a "OOTB ready" OpenVPN Server router (and...

    Wauw, impressive videos. That's the disadvantage of Corona, people (also bad people) are wearing masks!!! My suggestion: fiddle with your settings, some areas are over exposed, some are under exposed. Best way to test if your images are crisp & clear: put your face mask on, crawl like those...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    I understand where the confusion is coming from. An OpenVPN client on the dd-wrt does make sense, if (and only if) you want to hide your WAN traffic TOWARDS another OpenVPN Server. And if you follow that logic, then you know it does not make sense doing so to get your (mobile) traffic INTO your...

    Whelp... it finally happened to me

    I'm really sorry to read your story @Holbs! Bullet proof tires might be an idea, but are not a solution. An automatic pepper spray machine inside the tyre compartment might be an idea, but are not a solution. A fence around your property (with some loose hungry dogs) might be an idea, but are...

    Reset Dahua VTH1550CH or solution ?

    Are you sure about the 192.168.1.108? Try 192.168.0.108 too. And ConfigTool from Dahua is able to scan different subnets too.
