    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Anybody else upgrade to the 180913 firmware and have problems with the web interface becoming unresponsive after about 6-8 hours? I started noticing the problem on the previous version from August, but not as extensive, so I updated when I saw the 180913 available and it got way worse. I...

    Safari 12.0 Removes NPAPI Plugin Support

    Does anyone know if Dahua has any plans to update their browser support to work without a plugin? SmartPSS is ok on mac, it certainly works well for viewing and some basic things but on the PTZ cameras you can't set up a lot of the features and I find it pretty difficult to configure IVS on...

    2nd and 3rd cam choice ?

    One other thing to throw out there, if you buy one of the Chinese market cameras I would recommend installing the modified firmware posted on this forum Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware. You may want to check that the model you intend to purchase is supported by one of the...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Don't have a recommendation on the splitter, but note that the camera is only 100Mbps so that may open you up to other options. Also keep in mind it requires PoE+, so even though the splitter is converting to 12v you may want to look for a splitter that can handle the higher wattage. According...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Any consensus on the recommended firmware version for this camera? Got mine from Andy and it came with 2.422.0000.0.R.4.2510 build date 2016-09-21. Not having any major problems but I've noticed some oddities when viewing it on my Mac via Safari, may be more related to the Mac plugin than the...

    Help with a stupid simple to operate cam system.

    Totally not trying to push Blink, I have no personal experience with them and normally I'd be in the same boat as you recommending against WiFi but I think they use a proprietary wireless protocol rather than WiFi. They seem to have a bridge module that connects to your network rather than...

    Help with a stupid simple to operate cam system.

    This might be total blasphemy for this forum, but what about something simple and canned like the Blink cameras or Netgear Arlo? I find myself in the same position, where if I recommend all of these speciality cameras like Dahua I become the defacto support for them. I don't mind putzing...

    NVR Recommendations/compatibility

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen a lot of mentions of Blue Iris and it seems to be the superior option by all accounts, however I'm a little bit put off by having to run a full fledged PC 24/7 and a Windows one at that. I've also seen mention of needing some pretty beefy hardware, i5 or...

    NVR Recommendations/compatibility

    I've been reading this forum for quite some time and I've learned a good amount about the Dahua cameras, but one thing I don't see a lot of talk about is the NVRs. Is there a common Dahua NVR model that is the go-to recommendation for most people? In my case I've got a couple of the cheaper...
