    Connecting HDW3549HP-AS-PV with Bosch PIR

    How did you wire it? The alarm in is a circuit that need (easiest) to be closed/opened by a relay. If you check the wiring there are 2 cables for alarm in, connect them and you'll see the alarm go off. I'll explain better and with pictures tomorrow when I'm back at the computer.

    Connecting HDW3549HP-AS-PV with Bosch PIR

    Yes that is no problem. Just connect to alarm input and configure as the picture below. Note that you can set if the input is a NO/NC. You can use this in parallel to the standard IVS-rules.

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Sure, do so. But even better if you put it here for future reference for others, if that's OK with you.

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Ok! No, it doesn't make sense to upgrade. I agree with @biggen and for LPR you don't need the extra mp.

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Do you use the ANPR features built in the ITC237? As an alternative I would recommend the 7442H-Z4, it is really a nice piece of kit but with some more zoom (at least from the top of my head). It doesn't have all the ANPR-processing that ITC237 has, but depending on your needs this could be...

    Youtube - H264 Live Stream - Options ?

    The quickest and dirtiest way to reduce the bandwidth is: 1.) Reduce the bit rate 2.) Reduce FPS This is not answering your specific question but I would definitely go this way instead.

    Busted by my wife!

    My wife has already seen a lot, this will be PTZ #3 and #4 and cameras #18,19&20 so she has seen the most already:-) She's didn't even complain when I surprised her with a 15" touch screen running Home Assistant, in her office.

    Busted by my wife!

    Like everyone else I do stupid things, I tend to do it more often... I ordered 3 cameras from @EMPIRETECANDY now that the Black friday deals went live. My plan was not to tell my wife about my order, but that the cameras would all of a sudden be installed when she got home one day (my normal...

    Full Color Cameras worth it?

    As a reference i found a head2head I did between the 5541 (forced colour) vs the 5442(9)R-ASE-NI (bottom of picture). I have pretty much light on my yard and the 5442 really outperforms the 5541. I plan to do a new H2H test when I receive the IPC-Color4K-X. I have the 3549-AS-PV and the 3249...

    4 MP 24x Startlight IR WizMind Network Panoramic + PTZ Camema SDT7C424-4F-ZBZJ-APV-0400

    Judging by the first look it looked like a 79$ Aliexpress PTZ with "humanoid"-tracking :cool: But looking at the specs, this look interesting and and the little brother to the Hunter series. It will be interesting to see how this 49425XA-HNR + 5442R-ASE-NI combo works when it hits the market...

    Christmas Sales 2021

    @Zook I ordered 2x 49225XA-HNR as soon as I saw this announcement 8-) (The announcement and the BF deal made it a no brainer!)

    Switch Mic Input on Dahua Active Deterrence Camera

    Why would you want to do this? Would you have the other mic at a different location and trigger the mic switch based on IVS-rules? (Controlled by I.E. home assistant) The easier solution (this is always the solution) is to add another camera, LOL :-)

    New Dahua Dual Lens Cameras

    I just got a couple of strobes in my mailbox today, will try to connect them directly to the Relay out port and power directly from the camera (they're less than 300mA). I also like the DIY TioC conecpt :) It'll probably need to be pitch black to notice them. But, as long as the concept works...

    NVR English version + IP Camera Chinese version

    You can connect the Dahua NVR to any ONVIF/RTSP-stream. So, as long as the camera support ONVIF/RTSP you're fine. I do this myself for a couple of cheap crappy ONVIF-cameras I have in the stable. The downside is that you loose a lot of the benefits (features/intelligence) you'd have with a...

    3841 or 5442?

    Yup, the itc237 is a 2MP 1/1,8". It's a "special purpose camera", but still :cool:

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I've been running this camera since the summer and I must say it's really impressive. I installed it and started to test it to tweak the settings but in all honesty I didn't see a need to change anything as it exceeded my expectations with stock settings. Just want to share this clip where the...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Hi @EmpireTech, if there's a new European version I'd be happy to test as well

    How to overlay license plate number on Dahua IPC-HDBW7842H-Z (ANPR)?

    You're right, you need to choose ANPR or Video Metadata, these SmartPlans cannot be chosen at the same time. The settings looks correct. I see you have enabled traffic flow statistics, do the counters register any traffic (passing vehicles and people)? Depending on your view, you could also...

    How do I set a home view for the SD5A425XA-HNR?

    After the camera has been tracking something and it looses it should return to that preset. Does the camera do that? To set a home preset go into settings -> PTZ -> Function -> Idle Motion. Set the desired "default" preset in settings -> PTZ -> Function -> power up, as well.

    How to overlay license plate number on Dahua IPC-HDBW7842H-Z (ANPR)?

    Ok, I'm not sure your goal, to get a text overlay in the video, is realistic with this camera. At least I haven't found a solution to print the plates in the live video. May I ask why you want it, I don't see the benefit of it? What the camera does is that it prints the text overlay on the...

    How to overlay license plate number on Dahua IPC-HDBW7842H-Z (ANPR)?

    Hi, A short answer as I'm on the phone now. I run a similar setup with my 7442H-Z4. I run Video Metadata instead of ANPR, then you get people as a bonus, still with ANPR capability and plate number overlay. A note, in the picture of the report you have searched for face recognition. Still...

    dhi-nvr5216-16p-i 4tb Any thoughts?

    This is a great price. The price difference between the 5216 and 5216-I is/was pretty big. You don't get a new 5216-16P with hdd for 400$. If you're not taking it, can you buy it for me and ship it to Sweden? :cool:

    AI push notifications with non AI NVR

    Before jumping in to details we need to clarify what you mean by AI push notifications? In my experience "AI" by Dahua is often Face Recognition (not detection!). What NVR are you looking at, still assuming a Dahua, right? Without having to much details I cannot say it works, even thought I'm...

    Expanding Dahua NVR for Remote Cameras with 5GHz Radio Link

    I agree with you guys! I skipped that detail to simplify the drawing. But, here it is ;) @Alaska Country , using this solution you can also utilize the infrastructure for your "normal" LAN, hooking up accesspoints etc.

    Expanding Dahua NVR for Remote Cameras with 5GHz Radio Link

    Hi, Here's a simple diagram, i hope it'll make things clear. What's important is that you have the cameras in the same IP-range as the NVR, ex 192.168.1.x. In the NVR you will connect directly to the cameras, it works great mixing cameras powered by the POE-ports of the NVR with other cameras...

    SD42212T Dahua PTZ Event Preset Time

    Hi @iikingli , We're all here to help each other! I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean by "skip". Do you mean that there is a small gap/delay when the tripwire is triggered even thought you set pre-record? If so, I experienced the similar before. Back then i used substream to record...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    i made a short video showing the steps. setting up new preset setting Smart Plan Setting up IVS rules The only thing you need to think of, that you don't see in the video is when you're drawing the IVS rules (Tripwire, intrusion etc) you need to right click to exit the "draw mode".

    SD42212T Dahua PTZ Event Preset Time

    Great that you found a solution! There are some more settings in the PTZ-section. I use the "Time Task-setting" on a few of my PTZs. When a IVS trigger the camera to move to a different preset, the time task takes back the camera to the original preset after x seconds. Happy Tracking! :)
