Replacing Boobie cam lens
only thing I have to share is a blurry picture and the lens I tried to use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L92S9MT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's weird because I've read posts and watch videos on how easy this is to change. I haven't seen any issues with blurry... -
Replacing Boobie cam lens
Hey guys, I am trying to replace a Boobie Cam (IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2) 2.8mm lens to a wider angle lens. I've tried several but can't get them to work. Every one I have tried has resulted in a blurry image. I tried screwing and unscrewing to various depths and it remains blurry. Anyone replaced... -
How-to guide for triggering ALARM_IN from NVR relay
wittaj is the Jedi master. For some reason I can't see that video but there are a couple of options. Some cameras have a separate audio out cable (the color4K-X has this I believe). You could use that. As far as where to get an external speaker, I dont know. Also, you are going to need to... -
How-to guide for triggering ALARM_IN from NVR relay
Forgot to mention how to set up the ALARM_IN trigger on the receiving camera. On my Color4K-X, here is what the setup looks like for responding to the ALARM_IN input from the NVR. -
How-to guide for triggering ALARM_IN from NVR relay
Problem: how to trigger Audio Linkage on camera B from camera A with no ALARM_OUT wire. Solution: wire NO and C on NVR to ALARM_IN wire on camera B. I asked this question couple weeks past but didn't get much feedback or guidance so I dug in and did some experimenting. I was afraid of... -

Alarm out triggering Alarm in
Yes, I was going to directly connect the C/NO of the NVR to the camera to trigger a function on the Color4K-X via the ALARM_IN wire. This would send a signal when a particular condition is met. There appears to be no other way to do this. I do not believe you can digitally trigger the... -
Alarm out triggering Alarm in
Hi Mark, thanks for the reply. Not exactly. I am trying to send a signal from the NVR to the Color4K-X. So my understanding would be using NO/C to accomplish this. A & B are used for PTZ control from my reading of the manual. Dont need these. The wedge camera will handle the processing for... -
Alarm out triggering Alarm in
I tried googling this and reading the operations manual but couldn't find an answer. I am curious if it is possible to trigger ALARM_IN on a camera from NO1/C1 on NVR? I can test this, just wanted to check with you guys before I break something expensive. I'm trying to use a tripwire on a... -
Camera for blind spot
I have a blind spot by the garage door. I have cameras covering most of the driveway but I missing the area from the garage door out to about 5 feet. Someone could easily hide in this spot and I wouldn't be able to see them. I already ran the cable where I would like to mount the camera. I am... -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
@TonyR thanks for the explanation. I dont have much experience with circuits so this helps clarify things. I may pick up a book on the topic so I can learn more about doing stuff like this in the future. -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
@TonyR you nailed it. I tested this and it works exactly as you explained. I don't understand 100% how the diode works in that direction though. Could you recommend a reference where I can learn more about how this works? Thanks again for your help with this. Now all I need to do is start... -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
Thank you sir, really appreciate the info and the reply. I've got the diodes and a breadboard ordered off Amazon. I'm going to test it and then I will solder. Thanks again for taking the time to help! -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
Thanks @TonyR. Just now seeing this, I didnt get an email notification I recevied a reply. Excellent diagram, it helps me understand how it would work to prevent current going to other cams. Found a pack of 15x 1N4001 on Amazon for ~$4. How would you do this in real life? Could I just get a... -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
Thanks @TonyR, I was thinking more from the camera's perspective. Any current sent to the PUSH port would also be sent to the other cameras connected to the PUSH port. I dont have a 2nd camera with a ALARM_OUT, otherwise I would test it. -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
@TonyR, not sure if you can answer this but just thought of something I haven't been able to test yet. Would it be ok to have several cameras feeding into the same "PUSH" input that triggers the siren? It would be 5 cameras tied into the PUSH input. -

No, this has been tested and works exactly as pictured. -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
Fixed! Thanks TonyR! -
How to use ALARM OUT and a K80 control power supply
I hope this can help someone. I needed to be able to use ALARM OUT on a couple of backyard cameras to trigger a siren. To do this, I used a K80 power control supply that provides power and operates as a relay. You can get this off Amazon. I used 18/2 security cable for the wiring. I got it by... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5842T-ZE-S2 / IPC-T5842T-ZE - 8MP / 4K Vari-Focal Turret
I dont see this has a ALARM OUT wire in specs. I dont think any of the turrets come with ALARM OUT wires though from what I have been researching. I've looked at the 5842s and 5442s. Can anyone confirm this? -
5442's with audio linkage?
I've looked at most all of the 5442s I could find and I dont see that they have a built-in speaker like the Color4K-X does for audio out. I am trying to blast out the "you are under surveillance" audio recording when the IVS is triggered, i.e. Audio Linkage. I can't find a 5442 that supports... -
Dahua Camera choice
@wittaj's recommendations are always spot on for me. I've tried his suggestions and was not disappointed. I chose a camera that was not on his recommended list and was disappointed. The 5442s are the best cameras I have beating some of my higher resolution cameras both at night and during the day. -
What could be causing IR glare?
@wittaj, thanks bud, great advice. I am not sure on the blur. That is something I will need to check. I'll see if I can take a still shot of a recording and determine if there is any blur/distortion. @Mike, I can't move it unfortunately. There really isn't any good way rotate the base. I can... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)
I see it is supported but how would you actually attach a speaker? The audio out cable would be exposed to the elements. How would that work exactly if this is mounted outside? Would like to broadcast warning message. -
What could be causing IR glare?
Ok @wittaj, I think you are spot on bud. I think it is angled too much. Here are some photos that should explain this phenomenon. The white circled light is obscured and I believe it is bouncing back off the white mount. As I can get eye level with the sensor, you can see the IR light is behind... -
Alarm Out -- Not working
I am not sure what that means either. @roaoro can you elaborate on where this can be found? -
Vertical black stripes on feed
THANK YOU PAUL! that was it. How the %#@! did you know that??? I have been up and down both the camera and NVR trying to figure it out. I have no idea how that one channel got changed. I didn't even know those settings existed. Super weird. Appreciate it bud, thank you! bp2008, it is just what... -
Alarm Out -- Not working
Thanks SS. I read that manual, couldn't make heads or tails of it. Although this stuff is pretty new to me. Must be firmware. If I hit manual in the ALARM OUT setting, it goes off. Should I download newest firmware from the web or is there a place on here I need to download it? -
Alarm Out -- Not working
@JesseSR glad you got your fixed. I also have the NVR608-32 and I think I may have the same problem with ALARM OUT. Although I may be wiring wrong. How did you wire you alarm out connection? I only see Alarm In.
