    Dahua - 24th Floor

    Left field... would a front+rear dashcam with a lithium battery pack be an option? If the car gets driven daily, this might be worth considering.

    SERIOUS Problem NVR4108-8P-4KS2

    No need to be "sorry", as it was posed in question. However thanks for clarification regarding the duties of the backup battery.

    SERIOUS Problem NVR4108-8P-4KS2

    Would it be appropriate to either: carefully unsolder the button battery to clear all dynamic data, or; short out the button battery to achieve the same? I would only use the first method, however I have read satisfactory reports of the second method in context with other types of equipment...

    Dahua nvr nvr5208-4ks2 not working

    Hey Niiko, Is it possible to read any identification next to each LED, and list that LED's colour? For example: PWR = Blue HDD = Green ... etc I've tried to enlist help in the previous comment. I'm sure that someone will have the same NVR and can help. Have you checked your router to see if...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    There's was no name calling mate... if you class it as that, then better hold up on usage of lamestream media and other demeaning terms huh? Total Deaths... uncategorised, simply just people who have died... can simply not be manipulated to such an extent. Not in your country, nor any other.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The spike in Total Deaths is inarguable. It's tin-foil hat time if you are inclined to think that the world has silently joined forces in a global scam to manipulate this very basic data set. The extent it has shifted, in all affected locations, is undeniable proof that this is not the damned flu.

    Forse apri la scatola e controlla se ci sono LED di stato illuminati sulla scheda madre. Google Translate. Apologies if I destroyed your language. Ciao, Steve

    Slow motion filming/recording on Dahua NVR 4208 8p 4KS2

    Leftfield question: what size hard drive did you install in the NVR?

    VIP Vision feedback

    If sensing is properly set up, the NVR will provide cues regarding the possible timing of incidents via events. I will often have an idea of when things happen via an email notification, if not, markers on the footage timeline or playing back event footage only should get to the point of...

    VIP Vision feedback

    Fair assessment. Dahua haven't done much to sex up the GUI. An update for some machines over the last year looks like one of the biggest visual re-works. My NVR has the GUI from just before, and it's a lot like the 10-15 year old machines I just offloaded. FWIW about VIP Vision, even the...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Hardly "diplomatic behaviour". Unfortunately for the CCP, I believe that responses such as these will only increase the public support for an inquiry. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-29/china-australia-coronavirus-spat-approaches-farce/12196804

    CCP is taking the position that "the best defence is a strong offence"... as you do when you have nothing to hide. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-29/china-boycott-diplomacy--coronavirus-comes-more-government/12194482

    No you said that a vaccine is forthcoming at a cost of 50 cents. What followed upon challenge... well that's probably what you should have written in the first instance.

    Securing New Footage

    If your home is invaded, you will likely need two copies of your footage right? One that the villains can force you to delete, and another secreted archive. My tip for today: keep a large dry-chem fire extinguisher in your bedroom and near the front door. [emoji6] Cheers, Steve

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Why do you mis-quote the content? Some 80% of its vaccines are exported and, at an average of 50 cents a dose, they are some of the cheapest in the world.

    Suneyes IP camera - Unable to find firmware

    I'm suggesting that you pretend to be a potential buyer and ask sellers about update channels. I saw that there are sellers on Amazon for example... hit them up and ask "where do future updates come from?" The brand might also be represented on AliExpress, AliBaba, etc and so on. Try every one...

    Maybe ask the sellers who are still advertising the brand? Pretend you're a potential buyer... Cheers, Steve

    led floodlights with motion sensing

    Unless you have a specific need to house the sensor in the light fixture, using separate parts would likely produce a better result. From my experience, many of the combo units are quite average quality.

    You're right... that proprietary bit makes it entirely impossible to do anything with what are basic pieces of sheet-metal. [emoji24]

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    As you found while removing the battery, heat is a killer. Going in should be quicker, but still be careful regarding heat accumulation. Have the board cleaned of old solder. Use a hot iron and work fast. Hold, clamp, or have someone hold, a decent amount of metal mass against the battery...
