Threshold and sensitivity for motion detection on the 5442
I dunno, @tech191, it looks like you checked all the boxes. What I did, in figuring it all out, was made certain motion detection was disabled in the cameras so the only recording happened when there was tripwire or intrusion detection. Then, if recordings happened but notifications did not, I...- Dramus

Threshold and sensitivity for motion detection on the 5442
You'll also have to go into SS and, under IP Camera -> <each camera> -> Event Detection -> Advanced Events (IVS), enable Tripwire and/or Intrusion for Enable on Surveillance Station and/or Trigger Motion Event, as-desired. Then, under Notification -> Rules, check Advanced event detected (if you...- Dramus

Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?
In all fairness to Hikvision: That's quite a bit different from security issues, back doors, and designed-in browser incompatibility. I don't really blame Hik for that. If you read @EMPIRETECANDY's cautions on "Chinese hacked" Dahua cams, you'll see plenty of warnings about applying official...- Dramus

Anyone familiar with Alptop Ptz Cameras?
Well, for $10 I guess one could hardly go wrong :) I cannot imagine it would be very good, given as it's less than half the price of economy brands like Dahua and Hikvision, and those are 1/3 to 1/4 the price of truly pro-grade brands like Digital Watchdog, Samsung, and others. But, knowing... -
IP Camera resetting to DHCP
No, not a Chrome IE tab for Apple issue, but a Chrome, Firefox, or whatever IE Tab issue for any non-MS-Win system. I am not really an "Apple person," either. Though, since we have Apple mobile devices and Apple TVs, and the rather unusable MS-Win7 Pro system my wife used to use will almost... -
IP Camera resetting to DHCP
That seems a reasonable hypothesis. I wonder if a Factory Reset and re-config from scratch would persuade it to straighten-out and fly right? 1. I have five (5) Dahua cams in service. Some have been in service for up to 2-1/2 years. 2. You keep making assumptions about my level of expertise... -

IP Camera resetting to DHCP
Ok, browser incompatibility I can see could result in settings not sticking at all, but a setting that sticks and then magically un-sticks a couple days later? I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me at all. -
Home Security Systems
I thought so :) Honestly I do not. Somewhere around $400, I think? I installed it all myself. I'd twice had installers do it. I was not happy with their work either time. However, that did mean 90% of the wiring was already done for me. All I had to do was re-terminate all the switches...- Dramus

IP Camera resetting to DHCP
Ha! I got hooked into that, once. I honestly think that's part of the reason we no longer have a sailboat. If I ever again join any kind of club I'll tell them I'm a retired garbage man or something :rofl: -

Honeywell/Ademco Vista 20p with an EyezOn EnvisaLink EVL-4 IP module. All doors and windows have hard contacts. There are glass break detectors on the one remaining single-pane glass basement window.

IP Camera resetting to DHCP
To each their own, but I've never allowed an ISP's border device to be the border security for my networks. Not at work, where I did this for a living, nor at home. So, recommendation: Stop using the crappy Comcast router for routing, DHCP, etc. Take control of your own Internet border... -
Milestone Husky x8 and axis ip cameras ISSUES
Depending upon the load at the far end and the PoE source, 320 feet might be pushing your luck for PoE. Is it only the cams on the longest runs that are giving you trouble?- Dramus

Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?
I mentioned security issues specifically wrt to Hikvision cameras because somebody asked why I preferred to avoid them. And, yes, I know: Dahua is little, if any, better than Hik in this respect. Fair point. Rather than my re-writing it here, please see...- Dramus

Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?
Yes, I know. And, yes: My cams do not have access to the 'net. Nor have they ever. I don't. If anything: I trust Reolink less than I do Dahua--and perhaps even Hikvision. I've got a Reolink wireless cam on my network that keeps asking for an additional IP address with varying MAC addresses...- Dramus

Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?
Just type "Hikvision camera security concerns" into your favorite search engine. I don't know as Dahua's any better, but Hikvision has been under more scrutiny.- Dramus

Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?

Firmware & Firefox / Chrome support
Firefox 78.7.1esr (64-bit) (Linux) works fine on my 5231's, my 4231, and my 2231 (re-labelled as an X-Security XS-IPDM9852ZWH-2). Neither Chrome, Chromium, nor Brave (Chrome engine) produce video previews on the Main Stream, but they do for Sub Stream 1. Makes no sense, but there it is... -
Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus
Maybe a moderator or @fenderman can move everything at and after post #1366 into that thread? FWIW: Mozilla Firefox has been working fine on the Dahua cams I have already. Never even knew this was an issue. ETA: Reading that thread, moving this stuff there would be a good thing. MS-Win users... -

And Linux users. And any other user whose OS doesn't have a native IE rendering engine. IOW: Any user of any non-MS-Windows computer. And, when the IE rendering engine is no longer available on MS-Windows computers: Those, too. I think we can stop talking about this. It's really... -
Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus
But you're using MS-Windows, yes? This means IE Tab is using the IE rendering engine directly on your computer. For non-MS-Win users, IT Tab has to pass the content off to Blackfish's servers, do the voodoo there, and pass the results back. Here's what happens immediately when I install the... -
Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus
Interesting. I got no clue, unless it's a difference between the Linux and MS-Win builds ¯\(ツ)/¯ IE Tab is a non-starter for me, in any event, even if I did have video. When used on an MS-Win box it uses a resident IE component for the rendering engine. But if you're not using an MS-Win box... -

Odd, searching on "IE Tab" did not find that for me. Anyway: Installed. Then it wanted me to sign in to something? Nope. Thanks for the lead, though. As for Chrome w/o the IE Tab: All I get is a spinning circle for the main stream. Oddly enough, however, Sub Stream 1 displays. Same... -
Choosing Dahua firmware from a list of firmwares with no further explanation
Question is: Is there a particular problem with your cam you're trying to solve? Or some feature you think new firmware will make available your camera currently does not have? Because upgrading firmware just because newer firmware is available is generally considered unwise--if for no other... -

The problem, @looney2ns, is that Chrome and Chrome derivatives don't display video Probably available only on MS-Win boxes. When I search extensions for "IE Tab" it comes up bupkis.
