    Pro AI NVR latest new firmware NVR5XXX-I_MultiLang_V4.001.0000000.2.R.200814.bin

    Thank you Andy, Downloading now and I'll update you ASAP. I expect that some tests would take some time and other (such as data consumption) would be updated later on.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS latest new firmware IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.20.R.200903

    I was wondering if you guys are saving the camera settings and use it after factory defaults each time you do FW upgrade. Though it makes sense, I was afraid that loading the old settings may loose the whole point of doing factory defaults. But when you make an upgrade, and you own more than...

    @looney2ns thanks but... I am also testing the 2020-10-19 version. When I was talking about no improvement in my end to the SMD I was referring to that FW..... My dog and cat are still staring in many of the SMD (human) results. I was not trying to complain but to share my own testing results...

    Thanks, I thought it was only me. I do get the alerts from IVS and use the SMD to filter other events for viewing. What Is do not get though, it how come one way enables them to filter Himan events really good and the other way sucks. I was expecting the IVS and SMD to use the same filtering...

    I must say here that unlike others, I see no difference in the SMD performance. While the ISV was (and still is I guess) doing a decent job in filtering human, the SMD (in my end) acts like before. With SMD, I am getting as many detection as I used to (if not more) from my dog and cat...

    Dahua Cam Audio Shootout!

    I was not looking for audio at all when I bought the cams. But when I got it, the audio was my biggest surprise: I always get to hear perfect. way better than when I'm standing outside next to the cams. I hear the steps of the people walking 50ft away, I hear the bicycles against the road...

    SMD may have been improved. too soon to tell for me. What I CAN say already (after one hour of using the 19-10-20 FW) is that it's not enough: My dog is still recognized as human and not once......

    Best $200 or less Turret with varifocal lens with and without audio

    You were talking about the audio and guys mentioned the 5442 I'm using both B5442E-ZE and the turret 5442T-ZE. I can tell you that the bullet has audio in and out jacks that are more professional and the T-ZE has build in audio I was NOT looking for the audio and didn't expect a thing of it...

    Review-AI NVR 4216-I

    @nathmaheshmp , what SW version are you using? Is it the latest one (14082020)? I was setting it for no snapshots, 15 FPS, res 2560x1440, CBR, BR 2048 and 8 4MP cams are consuming 740GB per day. Far too much. 8TB can last barely 10 days. How is it for you?

    Review-AI NVR 4216-I

    I too have the 5216-16P-I If FR is good for 4-9m (wide or narrow view), what good is it for, if it starts detecting in X3 the distance, with a capture that is not good enough and therefor, decides it's a stranger. As the same person approaches the cam, you have few different detection of the...

    Review-AI NVR 4216-I

    There are face recognition cams that can do it without the need of a specific NVR and those can either use them, can use several ordinary cams OR can get FR for more cams using cams that support FD (face detection): the NVR can use the face captures form the FD cams and use it for face...

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    BTW, If I set record for both general AND A&M AND intelligence, does it mean that I record the events twice? Doesn't make sense but.... I did format the disks and after 4 hours, I saw that 3.44/3.62TB of one disk is free and naturally the second disk has 3.62/3.62 If I didn't make mistakes, it...

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    Thanks, again. found it after writing in here and cleared everything there. I used to have a schedule of M&A + intelligent yet it was taking a snapshot every second regardless of my settings. Anyway, now it's all clear there + at the camera> encode>snapshot it sets for every 3600 anyway so I'm...

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    By the way, please correct me if I'm wrong here: assuming that the CBR and the snapshot change fixed everything. I did not find a way to check the writing speed by the NVR. I do not want to open the NVR and check the HD externally. If that's the case, my alternatives are only to wait few...

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    Thanks, At least in my NVR (NVR5216-16P-I), I did not find a way to delete the capture schedule. I DID try to set it for event rather than using a schedule BUT it turns back to schedule after I save..... probably a bug. However, I did change the schedule to every 3,600 sec (1 hour) and also...

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    For some reason, I could not completely stop the captures, but I was changing them for all cams to every 3600 (every 1 hour). for the time, I was changing all IPS to use CBR. I'd be more than happy to know more about VBR and the change of settings needed for that.

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    Thank you guys few note about your great remarks: 1. It should NOT be the encoding. I'm using H.265 2. CBR VS VBR is a good point. I sew that most of my cams were set for some reason to VBR. Changed it back to CBR. I'm not sure how to deal with right settings for VBR soI changed back to CBR...

    1 TB per day with 8 cams...... WTF

    Today I noticed that the two HD of mine are already full (they do overwrite) and I can only get to see passed 8 days. The thing is, I'm using 8X5442 cams, set on resolution 2560X1440 bit rate 4096 frame rate 15 compression H.265 I'm using 2X4TB hd and something does not make sense in here. I...

    I have the playback (search) working (I'm using IE). BUT if I try to see only intelligent (not general, I'm not looking to see all day, I want to see the events), it would only work for IPC1

    SmartPSS no records were found.

    I'm struggling with SmartPSS for some time now. In order to view events such as ISV, I was opening "event config" and enabled each event pet each cam. When I then open "Event" tab, I can see the list of all events BUT when I try to view them (pressing the sign next to "operation"), I'm getting...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    SORRY, CORRECTION: There is now the general FW and the one for 5442T-ZE. I'm using both 5442T-ZE and B5442E-ZE. I was updating both models. There's one cam that detects my dog more than others. So far, that cam was the one detecting my dog BUT that one happens to be a B5442E-ZE cam. I can...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    yes, I can confirm that my dog is still staring in the SMD of the 20200903 I always thought that my dog is almost human and now AI machine confirm it. but according to looney2ns, he is not THAT special.

    small update about the new FW: I'm using the 20200814 version. while the list of updates is nice, I didn't come across most of those bugs anyway. however, the list of bugs and problems of mine was not dealt with. It's a shame cause the FR NVR could really become a leading NVR and currently the...

    Power adapter for POE camera

    Thanks, got your meaning now. and yes, I do know how to use the 4 wires (1,2,3,6). By the way, I still have few such old cables. what i meant is that my splitter is probably doing it. fortunately, I didn't need to use it. bought it cause I was afraid I'd find a dead cable.

    Power adapter for POE camera

    In my case, I have 8 cams on 4 corners of the house (two for each corner). Every 2 cables comes together using the same pipe to the corner and one cable continue to the other side. I was afraid that one cable may not work and since each 2 cams are relatively close, I bought splitters "just in...

    AI Face Detection / Recognation NVR4216-i

    I'm not sure if the 4kS2 NRVs are not supporting SMD. The power of the I series is the FR, it cost much more and currently, the Dahua implementation makes it completely useless. I can only hope that Dahua would make a big revision in the whole concept to make that feature practical. I doubt it.

    Power adapter for POE camera

    Yes, that's the point. And I don't think it's that expensive. They do supply waterproof connectors for the network and the power that is hardly in use left as is. Strange. @Fastb: I'd only say one thing. I was not looking for sound, I bought 8 5442 verifocals. Half bullets and the other half...

    Power adapter for POE camera

    WOW You guys are talking about specific cams as if I was talking about something that was or wasn't good enough. My question was why the vendors did not supply some sort of WATERPROOF caps that would cost them 1 cent and would fit their plugs. I only though it was silly that they didn't design...
