    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    @mmdb im in the same boat as you for the most part. The smart functions could be nice in the future, but right now i need 24/7 recordings. You say you dont care about the reboit problem, when it occures, how much time are you loosing from your recordings. I thought i read were reboots were...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    Thanks for the info. "Dvr vs Nvr" that was my mis-type. I was just trying to be certain on the info. From the looks of things i believe you're the only one with a NVR with Poe that is haveing the same problems that everyone else is having, along with you not using ang of the smart detection...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    mmdb, im confused about the message you posted then the respnce you provided to what looks like a post by shockwave.. You say on your first post your NOT using anything "extra" so i would assume your not using smart detection or motion detection, but you respond to SHOCKWAVE that you will try...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    Are you thinking that your unit without POE with a smaller power supply maybe is lacking in wattage, therefor when the DVR gets a CPU intensive event such as recognizing, and starting a event with all the associated events/pushes/ect that are associated with it the machine is essentially...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    yea, punched in the numbers and for 16 cameras running 24/7 with a 7day retention the magic number is 12Terabytes. And id be happy to use the IVS events but that is what appears to be a possible cause of these reboots. But i have no idea how many of these DVRs are being utilized by people on...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    Just so i am sure, Your running DVR's with 16ports of POI avaible but are NOT using the POI from the dvr. Instead your using power bricks or a switch that is POI enabled and supplying the power for that camera from the switch? I know sounds like a stupid question but im just trying to be...

I am also going to do a BI setup as well to learn and experiment with but want the DVR for the NOW and dependable plug n play. I'm seeing things are being...

    Extra long drill bit????

    As bad as hitting Hi voltage is, there is nothing like hitting the 2" copper main line for buildings water supply with a 6ft long 1" Spiral bit. Breakers trip, nothing getting people running like freaked out mice like water blowing the sheet rock right off the wall in a slow mo explosion :smash...

    I'd love to, unfortunatly i cant get enough of them even splitting up amongst diffrent kinds. there are placement for cameras i feel i cant sacrifice the need for the better quality at night and im going to use the startlight there, but i have a some spots (like 7) that are a 16'x32' area with...

    any Dahua vendors state side?

    I am the first to say I'm new to this and my confidence in selecting the correct fixed lens for the right job is "lacking" hence my want/need for variable focal lens's. even thought the cost is more for this time ill pay for the certainty that it will work where i need it. Im already getting a...

    any Dahua vendors state side?

    Originally thought i would not be able to wait for him to get cameras back into stock that i wanted, but got a message back from him and with swapping out some models for others it looks like i will be ordering most from him.

    Non-starlight varifocal cameras..

    I am planning on using some IPC-HDBW5231R-Z starlight dome cameras. but i cant get enough of them so i was questioning, in area that does not NEED IR (more then 1000+watts of white light avaible now) at a distance of less then 30ft what non-starlight varifocal dome camera would you use? I...

Im looking at a location to use Domes do to some of the factors on placement.. They will not have...

    Reasons against using DOMES

    So i see a lot of people saying don't use domes, use turrets instead. reasons being: IR reflection causing glare and flashback on the camera at night. IR causing insect problems at night (turrets have the IR is off-set while with domes it illuminates the whole dome When located outside inline...

    whats the difference between these 2 cameras?

    Starlight IR Dome w/SD, External Audio & Alarm (2.7mm-12mm): IPC-HDBW5231E-Z Starlight IR Dome w/SD, External Audio & Alarm (2.7mm-12mm): IPC-HDBW5231R-Z so far all i can see is one has a little bit more range on the tilt and rotation and the overall size of the camera and housing is bigger...

    I think some of you miss the most basic part of security

    This may be the case for some, but not all. For some of us having the video evidence is the next best thing because when they scale the fence, cut the razor wire and flip the camera the proverbial "BIRD" Signs just don't cut it. Not shooting you down, your ideas all have merit depending on your...
