    Always disable auto reboot on cameras

    That worked for me. Turned off IVS and upon reboot it returns to the selected preset. Based on other comments on this thread I have shut off auto reboot. Thanks to all.

    Always disable auto reboot on cameras

    I just checked and IVS was enabled. Not something I use so I shut it off. For a test I will turn auto reboot back on and see if it will go to a preset.

    Always disable auto reboot on cameras

    Yes. I have tried any one of four or five presets. Upon reboot it always points full up full clockwise. If I do a PTZ restart from Setup>PTZ>Function it will point at any of the presets I select.

    Always disable auto reboot on cameras

    I have three of the new Starlight Varifocal Turrets (DH-IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and an older PTZ (DH-SD22204T-GN) and caught the title statement in the long Starlight Varifocal Turret thread. Out of the box the PTZ was set to reboot once a week. To my irritation I have never been able to get it to...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Yes I have been through the process with @EMPIRETECANDY . I paid via PayPal and received a DHL tracking number from PayPal. There was quite a bit of time between payment and shipment because he was waiting on the junction box mounts so they could all be in one shipment.

    The order was placed several weeks ago. He had the cameras and wall mounts in hand but had to wait for the junction box (one at the top). I am in the Seattle area. The order was picked up by DHL last Sunday night in Hong Kong and was on my doorstep Tuesday afternoon. The DHL online tracking...

    ...when it comes to recording simultaneous data streams from video cameras. A good quality modern NVR has an incoming bandwidth in the range of 300+ Mbps. A consumer grade NAS, if the rating is even listed on the spec sheet, is lucky to have 10 percent of that.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I own a white box (unbranded) DH-SD22204T-GN that came from Ali Express a year ago. Is there any way to determine in advance of attempting to update if it was originally the English version or a Chinese hacked version?

    Firefox to kill all NPAPI Plugins: March 7th 2017

    By design, Waterfox is a 64 bit browser. I made a couple of attempts to install NPAPI plugins and was not successful. Possibly because the plugins are 32 bit and the browser is 64 bit? Maybe I am missing something.

    Dahua Smart PSS Question

    I am going to have to think through some other hardware changes besides the cameras. A NVR was on my wish list and I need POE+ for current/future cameras. Max number of cameras at this location is 3. Whether to look for a NVR/POE+ switch in one piece of equipment or two is the current question.

    Dahua Smart PSS Question

    I have successfully installed Dahua Smart PSS version 2.00 on a Win 7 computer. Configuration of Dahua cameras was straight forward. Does this software support any other brands of cameras except Dahua? I have not been successful in configuration of a generic bullet camera or a couple of older...

    I left the desiccant packet in place. Go to Setup -> Conditions -> Defog and see if the heater is set to auto.

    Random Dahua questions

    You might want to look again at what appears to you to be an audio port. In some cases it is a 12 VDC connection for an external power supply for use when a non-POE data connection is used. See attached from a white box DH-SD22204T-GN.

    Foscam software nightmare

    To fully uninstall the web plugin go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and uninstall IPCWebComponents. Within IE you are on your own. In Firefox there is a way to uninstall the plugins. Then restart your computer. The first time you try to login to the camera it...

    Three suggestions: 1. Uninstall and reinstall the plugin 2. Clear the DNS cache on the computer 3. Clear the browser cache on the computer 4. If you have not done so, reboot the camera

    Foscam software nightmare

    I bought two Foscam wireless cameras as cannon fodder for my learning curve. Both are still working fine. There are some subtleties associated with viewing the cameras for the first time. Assume the computers you are using to view the cameras are on the private side of your LAN. Also the...

    Help a Noobie understand VPN and the best route to take

    I bought the Nighthawk R7000 because of a past positive history with Netgear equipment and budget. In my opinion you can really overspend on a new wireless router with all of the latest bells and whistles. Nothing to actually install on the router. In advanced settings you simply enable the...

    When you have your replacement router in hand and before you install it, take a minute to review the IP numbering scheme you have setup for the private side of your LAN where the cameras are connected. Then go to the OpenVPN site and review their recommendations on avoiding IP address...
