    Is Current 4K-T & 4K-X Inventory "-S1" or "S2"?

    Thanks. Question is not related to Spring Lottery/Sale promotion. Just trying to understand what I would receive if I bought something right now. The posted specs point to "S1" AFAIK. So to rephrase: "Would I get an "-S1" or "-S2" if I purchased a camera today?

    Recommended Dahua for remote 4G/5G location, possible solar power only

    Not a direct answer to your question but hopefully helpful. For years I ran a pair of Foscam G4(?) WiFi off of a 100Ah battery, 180W panel with a Victron controller. I replaced the cameras' tiny WiFi antennae with Yagis pointing directly to WiFi AP. One was about 80ft clear LOS. The other was...

    Purely speculation, but "https" vs "http" setup in synology may be necessary.

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    All Generic Dahua. I recently tested my Summer Lottery win (ZE/S3 - Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY!). Synology recognized it as the correct camera type but something was a little off or maybe just not to my liking (sorry - can't recall). I deleted the entry and added manually as generic.

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    By no means trying to be a Synology fan-boy ... Animal detection is working great for me on several S3/S2 (ZE, Z4, and Z12) cameras. I had been recording everything in H265 but now record everything in H264 due to simple DL & playback on Windows. I agree camera detection (IVS favored over SMD)...

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    I recommend: 1.Select "Generic Dahua" when adding the camera to Synology. Do a complete setup (vs. quick). 2. Configure basics through Synology interface (channels, frame rates, etc.). Note that Synology "remembers" applied settings. If you change a parameter later through the Web UI (e.g...

    How to tell camera model?

    One of my camera's "deviceType" got whacked in a firmware update, but the "updateSerial" is good. Using the command provided above: deviceType=IPC hardwareVersion=1.00 processor=AX620D serialNumber=9E09E25nunya updateSerial=IPC-HFW5442E-ZE-0832 updateSerialCloudUpgrade=IPC-HFW5442E-ZE-0832...

    EmpireTech latest New firmware, Device Guide video, Manual WEB5.0

    I have the same question. Something seems a little off and no firm guidance here so I have stayed with Dahua builds for now. I just updated from V2.840.0000000.25.R.230425 to V2.840.0000000.27.R.240322 - so far, so good. The Dahua zip contains 3 binaries. I only flashed the first and there is...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    IVS works with Synology NAS using "Generic Dahua" with all Dahua cameras I've tried including the 4k-Ts. Surveillance Station seems a little goofy to me as it appears that IVS events must be "converted" to Motion events. Here is the camera config in SS: Then in the notification settings (e.g...

    Dahua Firmware for ToughDog IPC-HDW2431TP-AS

    In my limited experience, suffixes such as "S2" seem to indicate a hardware platform variant which requires specific software to match. You should locate firmware that is compatible with your hardware (not -S2) as the case may be. https://www.dahuasecurity.com/search/products?keyword=HDW2431

    Rtsp stream crashing on main but not substream

    What happens when your SW crashes? Are you catching/handling exceptions? Do you get a debug trace? Have you tried debugging? Since you're crashing with both main & sub streams you should look for your implementation bug(s) first.

    Rtsp stream crashing on main but not substream

    Sorry, nothing jumps out at me. Although I'd say the bit rate seems too low at 1585 kb/s. For the same resolution I am running 10240 kb/s (but at 20 frames/s & H264). I run most cameras at 10 frames/s but I just happened to check one set up for 20. Otherwise I don't see anything notably...

    Firmware upgrade, empiretech cam - How? / Having Trouble connecting 180cam

    Under advanced maintenance there's an export option - I got about 1.5MB of mostly binary stuff. Also under run log, I downloaded the most recent log and it looks like it contains exception info: I have no idea what to do with this tho Maybe you can ssh in and DL logs in text format

    Firmware upgrade, empiretech cam - How? / Having Trouble connecting 180cam

    I've never used this so I can't offer guidance. I'm just trying to take advantage of any built-in diagnostic. Another "event linkage" for this exception is to send email but that's not likely an option for most due to network setup. Maybe check the system logs. There's also a diagnosis page

    Sorry for the confusion Andy. I mentioned this was my first lottery & I asked if you needed anything from me. You only asked for email & shipping address and then you gave me numbers. I thought that was it. Now I know better. Congrats to all the winners!
