    Anyone have experience with Vonnic? Looks like they sell rebranded Dahua.

    It looks like Vonnic is selling rebranded Dahua so Dahua wouldn't provide the warranty coverage or support. Just like LTS is rebranded Hikvision. LTS provides all support and warranty for their products.

    Anyone have experience with Vonnic? Looks like they sell rebranded Dahua.

    I'm looking for a good Dahua reseller as I currently install only Hikvision products. If you know of any others please let me know. Vonnic Thanks!

    Looks like a drug deal to me...

    It's a 20X Huisun Speed Dome and the video quality is great. The IR's are really powerful. Less buggy than the mini PTZ but still not perfect.

    Front Gate Camera Install

    Running conduit wasn't an option but Ubiquiti Nanostation M5's are the next best thing. Here is a pic.

    Front Gate Camera Install

    It was a paid job so I needed something solid. Too many issues with power line adapters. The Ubiquiti Nanostation M5's are like Ronco Rotisserie Ovens. Set it and forget it.

    Front Gate Camera Install

    Here are some pictures of a front gate camera I installed. Links back to the house via point to point wireless. I tapped into the power going to the gate opener.

    First tower. Solar Dahua.

    Very Nice setup. Since everything is wireless and battery powered, what is the conduit for?

    Dahua Cameras... Firmware / Region Locks

    Thanks... Was hoping buying Dahua online was less of a minefield than Hik.

    Dahua Cameras... Firmware / Region Locks

    I thought only Hikvision locked down their cameras by region and specific firmware and Dahua was wide open. Today I was looking to purchase a Dahua on Ebay and noticed sellers are selling them like Hikvisions. "Chinese product / English Firmware /can't be upgraded" Lot's of Dahua ebay...

    True WDR vs DWDR with the DS-2CD2342WD-I makes a big difference!

    Unless you change it in the Common Settings it will still use the light sensor to switch from day to night. As for WDR, for cameras I actively manage I adjust the WDR start and end times several times a year. For those I don't, I just set WDR to start at 7AM and turn off at 6:30PM...

    True WDR vs DWDR with the DS-2CD2342WD-I makes a big difference!

    As you discovered DWDR is pretty much worthless. Also use auto scheduling to turn off WDR at night and back on in the morning. WDR at night introduces a ton of noise.

    Hole size of poe camera

    Use a junction box like the one here only without the conduit. Drill a small hole through the brick just big enough for the Cat5 and terminate everything in the junction box.

    teaches me to lock my truck

    Where I live it's illegal to block the sidewalk although it rarely gets enforced unless someone complains. However, if a child gets hit by a car because you forced them into the street by blocking the sidewalk you can and probably will get sued. Just something to think about. Also, check...

    No OSD in Main Stream with LTS (Hikvision) 3032 Turrets

    I wish it was that simple. This is something different. Even when I reset the cameras I get no OSD on main stream when set to 3MP. Looks like I will be contacting LTS tech support Monday.

    No OSD in Main Stream with LTS (Hikvision) 3032 Turrets

    I have a strange issue where I do not get any OSD (Time & Date, Display Name) in main stream. Sub stream it is there. If I dumb down the resolution from 3MP to 1080P the time and day returns. I have (4) 3032 turrets in this deployment and all have the same issue. Firmware is up to date...

    Amazon Same Day Delivery

    Pay has nothing to do with it. If it did you wouldn't see UPS drivers tossing packages, they make the best money in the industry. Some people are just sh*t employees. No matter how much you get paid you should do you job and do it well. This guy will probably be making peanuts 10 years...
