    icamera 1000 & VLC

    On VLC with my DAHUA cameras, if I enter only the correct URL for the RTSP stream, a box will popup asking for the username and password. I have to enter it each time I open the stream, I guess the way around that is incorporate the username and password in the stream URL.

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    Okay check out this deal... I have (4) cameras set at 1080p, 2048 bitrate, 15FPS. I log into camera (1) and view the stream through VLC (main stream) It plays fine with audio. I go into the NVR and change the bitrate from camera (1) from 2048 to 8000. After a few seconds 1 camera of the 4...

    Thief got a taste of his own medicine

    This video is posted in another thread, not this EXACT video, but the video from one angle where the guy grabs the purse. LOL I think in the other thread they mentioned the guy had been captured, can't remember. I hate stupid people, liars and thieves.

    Auto Maintain - Do I really need this?

    It seems like a network issue, maybe your router, switch or something in the middle there. When the cameras lose video, both sub and main, if it is night time go outside and look to see if the IR lights are working. That would help eliminate it being a low power problem, or lack of power...

    What are people's experience with Aliexpress??

    Also watch buying any SD Cards or USB flash drives from EBAY also, regardless of the sellers feedback. It's most safe to purchase in store. Your data, photos, documents, whatnot are not worth the risk of losing them. FAKE memory will allow you to copy all of your files onto the device, but...

    What are people's experience with Aliexpress??

    I meant if you bought something, the store was deleted, the protection ran out and say 40 days later the product died due to bad quality or something.

    What are people's experience with Aliexpress??

    What if the sellers account on ali has been deleted and you need to work out a refund for bad product? Just file a claim with your credit card or something?

    I had no idea about the non cloud part on RING, I wouldn't consider it either for that reason alone.

    Auto Maintain - Do I really need this?

    I have a huge thread with problems with 4 cameras dropping out, auto reboot is turned on all 4 of those cameras. I'd be curious if that's my problem. I am having cameras drop out about 5 or 6 times a day, give or take. They drop out for about 10 minutes max, sometimes 4-7 minutes. How often...

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    No, I haven't tried direct recording to a PC setup, I dread doing all that. I have so many issues with the neighbor that happens almost daily. I will end up trying it soon, I'm thinking again based on a couple things that have happened that it HAS to be the darn hard drive. The only 2 things...

    2 Question about DS-7608NI-E2/8P (HDMI quality and Microphone)

    On my Dahua NVR, if you are on 1 camera full screen, it is mainstream. If you have it split with only 4 cameras on the screen it is mainstream. But, if you have 6/8/12/16 cameras on screen they all are substream.

    Dahua DH-IPC-HFW4421D-AS POE 4MP HD 80M IR WDR IP67 Network LXIR Bullet Camera

    I looked it up, I was assuming it was the new turret with SD card slot. I've seen this one on ali, but that's about it also.

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    UPDATE: As of now, it's still doing the same thing.. I swapped out the WD Green drive a long time ago, I have a WD Black in there for a few weeks now. It still does it, new POE switch and all. Anybody else have a last ditch idea?

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    I got the TP Link 8port POE switch, I have it hooked up now. I will be testing it to see if I still have the same issue. It has to have been my POE switch, I have eliminated EVERYTHING about the setup, except for the NVR itself. I'll post back what I find out! I'm scared, I hope it fixes it lol!

    Package Thief Loses More Than He Gained (not mine)

    Nobody cares about your own stuff more than yourself. It's just stuff, but still. Always use your head and not emotions at all times, but what happens is what happens.

    Does anyone deploy imitation/dummy cameras in their setup?

    If you really wanted to add non working cameras in those areas, get real cameras and just mount them. It would be almost impossible for a person to know that they weren't recording. The decoy cameras always just look fake and everyone usually can tell the difference. I know it's extra money...

    Does anyone deploy imitation/dummy cameras in their setup?

    No, I understand. But, it's really not that hard to figure it out, honestly. You can take it step by step and learn as you go, I see there being no rush in getting the real cameras up and operating, since fake cameras were going to be installed anyway. So it's a learning experience and will give...

    Video freeze in motion detection enabled

    The same thing happens with my 24/7 recording setup, that when motion is detected it will record motion also. (Which does nothing since it's already recording 24/7, BUT what it does do is on my video playback timeline, it will highlight in yellow the time frame where motion was detected) So...

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    I was going to say, check that your scheduling is setup correctly on each and EVERY day. It's probably something simple that's over looked. I did that on my NVR on the intelligent rules recording.

    More image noise when it rains.

    I'd imagine maybe more movement in the image. Kind of like compression artifacts in action movies. You will see pixelation with blocky objects in fast motion scenes, or fire, smoke, etc.
