    New install suggestions for low light area

    Go with the 5442. Just bought the IPC-HFW5442E-Z4E, Andy list it as B5442. Big difference from the 1/2.8" cameras.

    Neighbors motion detector lights setting off false alarms

    Try adjusting the WDR to fade out dark shadows. I had clouds going overhead casting shadows and setting the tripwires off.

    Bugs away

    Amazon has this but be careful. Same stuff as in most bug sprays..instead of 0.1% it's 10%.

    IVS tripwire and target size

    That I'm not sure of. A lot of it is practice..checking the event log for the tripwire, seeing what tripped the alarm and if it's a cat adjust accordingly. You can walk at varying distances and approach the front, and see how it works. I found that the ratio of the length of the object (to...

    IVS tripwire and target size

    I would make the maximum size a little smaller..bigger than the size of a larger taller person approaching close to the camera. People's size varies depending on their distance from the camera. Also you might need to adjust the WDR so heavy shadows are washed out. I had the dang shadows from...

    IPC-HX4XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.10.R.191118.zip

    I have the T5241TM-AS camera and updated to V2.80 190521 firmware, but still having a problem with the built in IR. Picture totally washed out, and have adjusted many of the settings. If I turn the in camera IR off and use an external IR the picture is great at night. All okay in daytime, just...

    Email Bug fixed Firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_Eng_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000008.0.R.190619.zip

    The DH version worked on my HDW4431EM-AS ! It had a problem where when I used the config tool, I couldn't get it to show the screen, change settings, anything. That fixed it.

    Dahua cams having problem sending mail?

    Was back in Jan-Feb 2017 and they still have not solved it. I would move towards the push notifications on the smart phone and drop the email effort. Much more convenient..most everybody carries a phone with them..

    Dahua cams having problem sending mail?

    I gave up sending to email a long time ago. It would send 3 separate emails for each event. Having push notifications to my smart phone goes a lot better.

    EPOE & PTZ questions for road install

    I've tried the search function on the forum for various combinations of words, haven't found answer so here goes. I have a 4 port EPOE switch, about to use with an older NVR5216-16P-4KS2. Not the 4ks2E. Does anybody know if this will work for long distances? Have it connected on my table...

    4 port Epoe switch installing that 17th camera on NVR5216-16P-4KS2 question

    I got the EPOE switch working with the 2 cameras. Seems you have to plug one camera in, let it get to working, then plug the other camera in. Had to manually add the IP address of the 2nd camera on the NVR, but it started working. EPOE switch plugged into one of the NVR POE ports. Still have...

    4 port Epoe switch installing that 17th camera on NVR5216-16P-4KS2 question

    Was afraid that would be the answer..might have to omit a camera in another area for now. Just for the woodline at the yard's edge. For the 2 cameras on the EPOE switch, I have the EPOE switch plugged directly into one POE port of the NVR. Reckon it won't show the 2 cameras on separate IP...

    4 port Epoe switch installing that 17th camera on NVR5216-16P-4KS2 question

    I have a 4 port epoe switch, and a Dahua 16poe 4ks2 NVR. With my present set up, it looks like I'm going to have 1 more EPOE camera (if I buy the next one) than I have 16 channels. Namely, would have the 4 port epoe switch connected to my last available (the 16th) POE port on my NVR, with 2...

    Installation with Vinyl Siding corners

    Yeah, I did one with the end crimped on and found much easier to push thru and then crimp. Just hate making cable ends sitting on a ladder..

    Installation with Vinyl Siding corners

    I do have to cut a small half round valley in the top of the vinyl corner in order to grab the cable end. Best to sand round the sharp edge to keep from scraping the cable.

    Installation with Vinyl Siding corners

    Installing cameras under the eves of my doublewide. Found I could run the cable up the vinyl corner pieces. Used a 1/2' pex pipe with cable end just barely taped with one round of cellophane tape. Just enough tape to keep the end on. When I get hold of the end with a pair of needle nose pliers...

    Di-Electric Grease on Cat6

    White light in B&W mode? Not getting a great picture.

    On my normal 5231Z I had to hit the autofocus button at one point to get it to refocus. I had been messing with the zoom control.

    Cheap outdoor camera cover

    I'll experiment with it. Maybe paint inside black or dark red, outside leave white. Knowing my luck I'll get it set up and have birds start nesting inside. For bare cameras outside have you had to caulk any seams with clear silicone? How many years do Dahua cameras last outside exposed to sun...

    Cheap outdoor camera cover

    Not planning to have a transparent cover on the front. This is mostly to keep heavy vertical rains from running down the face. Won't help against blowing rains in the direction of the opening. For < $5 if it has any problems I'll toss it.

    Cheap outdoor camera cover

    For a camera on a 4ft post, cheap rain cover..Walmart trash can for $1.62..Dang, I might have to spend $4 to spray paint it for UV protection..

    Mistakes installing a new cam when you're tired

    If you want a laugh... Got 5 new Dahua cameras, the 4231 type. Was pretty tired after a long day of working outside. Hooked the new POE camera up to my laptop, couldn't get the camera to show up on any of the SmartPSS or config tools stuff. After an hour..DUH..remembered that laptops...

    Do you think Audio is "worth it"?

    Quick question..I have a Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 with a mic in and mic out RCA jacks. If I want to hear audio from my camera while playing recorded footage, what type of speaker could I hook up? No ohms listed in manual.

    Dahua NVR Push Notifications

    There's an ongoing problem with push notifications to phones, even after you get it to "subscribe". It was supposedly some Google android update that wasn't compatible with Dahua. Mine just started magically working on my phone yesterday 18 Feb 2019 with no changes by me. Now I can see videos...
