    Stone surface installation

    All 6 exterior cameras mounts were sealed. The stone walls of the residence were 24 inches thick and prepping the surface by grinding down the stone and mortar was quite messy but definitely necessary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I checked and SMART CODEC is not enabled on any camera. I have a SD59 PTZ and it is displaying the IVS lines on the monitor connected to the NVR5216. Still no triggers that produce markers on playback.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Help, none of my IPC-HDW5231R-Z, IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 seem to show IVS lines, snapshots or trigger recording on the NVR5216. I've searched this forum and see numerous others are having this same issue. I've set up IVS and a SMART PLAN within each camera and confirm triggering with...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    This appears to be the correct thread for help on this issue. I've searched this FORUM and have not located the solution for activating IVS via a SMART PLAN on my NVR. I've created IVS trips lines for each camera through the camera interface and the only active camera is the Dahua Starlight...

    I've searched this FORUM and have not located the solution for activating IVS via a SMART PLAN on my NVR. I've created IVS trips lines for each camera through the camera interface and the only active camera is the Dahua Starlight PTZ SD59225U-HNI and on the actual NVR screen, I can see the trip...

    Cellular Modem for remote access to NVR

    We build rugged remote camera (8-10 FPS) systems using the Sierra Wireless AirLink® GX450: LTE Wireless Gateway (provisioned for the Verizon network) used for video overwatch and ALPR, and as stated earlier, pricey and we PAY for it. Good luck in your endeavor.

    No signal: (only through Blue iris, Dahua NVR no issue)

    I'm running the most recent update although I believe the issue was a bad POE switch. All better now.

    No signal: (only through Blue iris, Dahua NVR no issue)

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Any help with minimizing the blur of the object in motion with night time video. Yes, this camera is phenomenal with night-time "STILL-IMAGING" but to me the images in motion are mediocre. The Hikvision 2CD2332-i 3MP had clearer UP CLOSE nighttime imaging. Here is a BI still showing my results...

    Do most people save cam data 24/7 or only when motion sensing works?

    The required directory setup in BI is valid although I did not view in Windows Explorer, so I do not know was occupies the assigned directories. It is very strange. All I need is to keep 31 days of video. Here is a screenshot my the Clips and archiving window. Thanks.

    Do most people save cam data 24/7 or only when motion sensing works?

    I have been using BI for since version 3.0 and no issues until today. My original settings archived for 90 days to a 4TB WD Purple. I do not need a 90-day archive so I adjusted the time to 31 days. Now nothing from yesterday and a repair database did not help. The folder tree is correct so it's...

    Do most people save cam data 24/7 or only when motion sensing works?

    Hopefully I can get some clarification. I have selected TRIGGERED and CONTINUOUS as an option for two cameras. Under Clips and archiving, am I correct to assume when I CHECK the Limit clip age, select 31 days, and DELETE, on the 32nd day, clips from day 1 are deleted, maintaining a clip log of...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Should I increase the shutter speed to tighten up clarity on moving subjects? It is currently set on auto which I assume floats around the 1/30 speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dahua 49225T-HN Installation

    Tightened up the install by painting the SD49 and conduit a similar color to house. To me, it doesn't catch my eye like the original bleach "hi I'm a surveillance camera" white color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Surveillance Camera solutions?

    Instead of WIFI connectivity, what about Ethernet over Poweline? Yay or nay? The semi-detached garage and the main farm house are on the same circuit.

    I need PTZ capabilities, fan noise will not be an issue and I won't use the dome. I'll reverse controls at the recorder side. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
