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

    I called Lorex, gave them the model number and then they told me to download this and upgrade it via the GUI. However it didn't work. In their email where link was provided, it said for "LNB8973B" which is definitely not the LNB8211/8105. I don't know if the features matter or it's supposed to...

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

    I've also used a hub to connect both sides (PC and Camera). In the past I ran into an issue updating an access point, by the time the PC ethernet port initiated it would be too late for the AP to connect via TFTP and grab the firmware. I pulled my hair out till someone suggested putting a...

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

    I see, thanks for that info. Yet I don't get anything on the TFTP, not even a tried connection from the camera while it's booting. I have a 12V power supply I'm using (which I've tested and it works, camera is powered up just fine with the DHCP IP, etc) and then connecting right to the laptop...

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

    Nothing on TFTP, camera is on DHCP and instructions aren't clear if one needs to set the camera for 192.168.1.108 as static IP or if it defaults to this is it doesn't received any DHCP request. @val-ipcam to you recall, did you set your cameras with static IPs 192.168.1.108 or did they default...

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

    @val-ipcam I'm getting ready to flash the Lorex, just wanted to confirm. -I've downloaded the file you provided upgrade_info_7db780a713a4.txt that will tell the systems what it needs (in the TFTP root) -I've downloaded the firmware BIN file...

    Set GOP (I-frame interval) on Lorex cams that don't have this exposed in the web UI.

    Saw this thread as I was also looking at putting on Dahua fw on the Lorex (in this case it's a LNB8211x which is the same as LNB8105x it seems). You can use SmartPSS tool on the Lorex, and all these options can be changed via that tool GUI - if you're not comfortable with the API. I just...

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I'm not sure what that means about the review sample. There is RTSP yes. It can also be configured through the SmartPSS software, but when changing some settings is screws up the video; however this is not permanent and a factory reset fixes it, but a hassle. The Amcrest 410 seems to have the...

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    I've had the Lorex 2K (same as AD410, Dahua and IMOU) since December. It's been great, solid reception and great picture. I would get the Reolink POE in a heartbeat if I had ethernet cabling running up to the doorbell.

    IPC-HDW4631C-A - any thoughts?

    Hi gang, I just picked up a LBN8105x, or so I thought. Checking the info in the menu, I see: LNB8211X actually. A little digging shows the same camera under different models? LNB8105X: https://www.lorextechnology.com/downloads/ip-cameras/LNB8105X/LNB8105X_Series_Specs_R3.pdf (document date...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I didn't have a chance to look through all 14 pages here, I have a Amcrest IP2M-841 and was wondering if there is a Dahua firmware for this camera. I followed the directions (based on firmware Amcrest_IPC-AWXX_Eng_N_AMCREST_V2.420.AC00.18.R.20200330) but didn't find any equivalent Dahua...

    Reolink Duo / Dual-Lens 150° FOV, 4MP/2K : review of nighttime image captures by securitybros

    Hi Mark, are you referring to this? IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 So one using BI could get a single stream with a combined video from both lenses?

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I'm looking to do this on the Lorex as well, loaded up the SmartPSS app, and it seems it can do it, but last time I used this appplication it totally screwed up the doorbell I had to remove it and do a reset to get it back to working.

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    Thanks for the reminder, I picked up 4 of these (DCS-2210L) a while back off kijiji for $50; they have slightly larger FOV than the cube you recommend above, just slightly. I will give one a go and see if that will work, they are small enough to be exactly what I'm looking for, although very...

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    Hmm interesting, I have this camera and there is no autotrack feature. Kind of funny (not funny) I bought this camera more than 2 years ago, it's now 50% more and costs more than the 2431T. The Amcrest though has a 4mm lens, I'd much rather have one that doesn't need to move with and has a...

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    I get all that and I'm in agreement, but this is for the basement where we let our toddler go by himself and just like to keep an eye on him. Face recognition on a frozen frame is not important. Would be ideal to find a poe/ethernet camera with 120/130 fov diagonal and good sensor like the wc3...

    IPC-T2431T-AS Quality?

    Hi, I recently bought a IPC-T2431T-AS to replace a WyzeCam3, and am noticing that the night and daytime quality on the IPC is not on part with the WC3. The Wyze cam has better colours, and all around better night time performance. Colours are more realistic, night shot is crips and "even" all...

    IPC-HDW4631C-A - any thoughts?

    I know, this is very basic principles (and I tried that with cameras that show all H/V/D options) but not quite working, hence why I asked. IPC-HDW5442T-ZE shows Field of View: Horizontal: 114°–47°, Vertical: 62°–26°, Diagonal: 136°–54°, and using the formula for 114 and 62, gives me 129.8...

    @EMPIRETECANDY could you please tell me what the diag FOV is on this model? IPC-T5442TM-AS I can't seem to find it anywhere, I checked on this model IPC-HDW5442TM-AS (which I believe is the same camera, says EOL) but could not find there either. Also considering IPC-T5442T-ZE (same as...

    IPC-HDW4631C-A - any thoughts?

    I've returned that camera, really found the quality subpar. Looking to get this instead: IPC-T5442TM-AS I have a question on this (well any Dahua camera) and BI. Can one use the AI in the camera (person detection) to trigger BI to record? I'm fine using BI for motion detection, but if I just...

    IPC-HDW4631C-A - any thoughts?

    Thanks for the replies. I imagine all prices are USD + taxes, and shipping (?) I do like the specs on IPC-T3241T-ZAS (@sebastiantombs I think this is what you're referencing?) however I don't need varifocal (also this is not starlight sensor). The FOV at 130deg (D) is what I'm looking for. I...

    Hi folks, I just picked up one of these cameras from Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09Q12RGV3) and did a few searches, found this thread. If I look at the info on the camera I see this: Device Type VD-2T63-A - a further search on this model I found this model on the Vikylin site: 6MP...

    Lorex 2K doorbell

    Interesting, when it's windy it does pick it up (like an uncovered MIC) and when there is actual noise (voice, cars, etc) that noise goes away - but that noise white noise seems to be amplified otherwise. I'll sample a piece to post just so it's more clear what I'm talking about, maybe it will...

    Lorex 2K doorbell

    Does anyone get any background static noise on their Lorex 2k? I'm getting this non stop on mine, have had it replaced under warranty with a brand new unit and it's the same thing. Mine is on 5Ghz band, I am wondering if it's due to the transformer that I'm using? Would that be possible? Other...

    Auto Export BVR to MP4 in place, after midnight, on specific cameras - possible?

    Is it possible to Export (BVR file to MP4) file on specific cameras, after midnight? I have a few cameras that are set to record one file (join clips for 24hrs) every day. The next day I usually right click on the file icon in BI interface, select EXPORT and choose overwrite file (BVR). I would...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Thanks - ok I wasn't aware the the Dahua also supports the API calls (I must have missed that in this thread). Well, it's too late now, cannot return it at this point and it's working ok for me, except the noise/static on it which is bad (although replaced with a new unit under warranty, still...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Can anyone tell me if possible to switch from using h265 to h264 on the AD410 (through the API calls). I don't have this model, but the Lorex 2K, and was curious if that is even possible. I know on most "higher end" cameras, you have the option of changing this, just not sure if that is possible...
