    Audio quality in Dahua System

    The best solution would be good imagery and good audio quality. Also with camcorders you would need an extra microphone so that wouldn't necessary would be the best advice (even if it was not meant serious). Go with a good camera, separate lightning and separate audio. The problem with audio...

    What are your IVS best practices?

    can you suggest any good ones @tangent and the other question, how do you include them in your camera network. I started with z-wave which may be an idea or are there other good alternatives. Thanks

    Dropping a 90 ft. Pin Oak Tree

    Yes. nonetheless good footage. what cam did you shoot it with? On another note, you should have asked if they could cut down 'the other tree', as well. If they asked you why you could always say 'to test my new lpr-cam', hehe.

    New setup: 2 camera's and a NVR

    I am not sure what you are doing here iemand91? I guess it is okay when you are interested in gear and have to consider the right price which comes with it. People mentioned where you can purchase and from what I understand, you have had an offer. I am sure @EMPIRETECANDY can talk for himself...

    Dahua Intercom kit

    I do not have this intercom (so I can not check it now), but I am interested. I am sure you have read about the two protocols, IPv4 and Dahua Video Door protocol. From what I have read you have to make sure you have the VTO unit attached to your mobile device. This should be done via 'p2p'. Did...

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    Preferably the camera is placed before the bulb (light is coming from behind) but I think it will not fit and the bulb has to be taken out, or re-positioned (if possible)

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    it is a starlight 'mini' dome right. and since it is installed inside the lamp behind glass, the outside of the starlight will not be put on. I think it will fit and would make a nice and elegant solution. When you see how people hang those monstrous ptz's on their houses. Seeing those in...

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    I've found myself in the same challenge as you @tomm (and others here). I have had the Axis M2014-E bullets but in the end I was not really happy with the image quality. I have ordered @EMPIRETECANDY a couple ipc-hdw5231r-ze to replace them. Ofcourse not as discrete as the axis bullets but as I...

    Dude with a pistol

    I am not sure if i understand. From what I read there were problems with non-residents breaking into cars inside the garage. It seems this resident had a drink that night and wanted to check if his car was alright. Since he clearly did not feel save he took his gun to check if there were people...

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    It should be irrelevant if you pick PAL or NTSC. I am not sure why you would like to know which one you should be downloading. Maybe I misunderstood.

    Door intercom DH-VTO2000AS - combined with other Dahua IP cams & NVR - what to do best?

    Yes I like to believe so. Reading the gear some people can spend on their hobby it makes one wonder if it is only a hobby or business as well. i believe some people here run there own shops and company. it is nice to see so many different people here. Business and private, we all learn. That's...

    Door intercom DH-VTO2000AS - combined with other Dahua IP cams & NVR - what to do best?

    I hear you catcamstar. I've been a long time lurker here myself and just ordered some gear myself @EMPIRETECANDY Either great minds think alike (don't we all) or there is a very smart media strategy going on here on this board. don't know. Q1. Yes there is (for so far I know) no other way then...

    Bullet Mic Review

    Does it make sense to replace one mic with another one. I guess there won't be that much difference like with lenses on camera's or is there? How does the audio/mic from, for example the popular IPC-HDW5231R-Z, compare to the mic nayr sugested in this thread and is it possible at all to...

    Dahua Intercom kit

    Did you check if your bandwidth is sufficient. I have read that IPv4 protocol is been used for the video, snapshots and push notifications. Maybe you want to try to bring down the setting for extra video stream so that less bandwidth is used. And it seems important to restart the unit after...

    Hello forum

    Whahaha, yes you guys are right. Since I only shortly decided to get my feet in the water what concerns camera's and nvr (and what more) it now felt the right moment to say hello. When only interested in gear but with nothing in your hands, what can I say. It felt I was not ready to have the...

    Hello forum

    I am a long time lurker on this forum and (for what it's worth) want to say hello in this 'general talk' section instead another threat where it probably would not be appropriate. Compliments on the tremendous knowledge in, obvious our shared interest, camera's and what comes with it. I did...

    Dahua Intercom kit

    Congratulations with the intercom kit! I do not have this kit but I am interested. Seems to be very nice and since it's Dahua, probably a very good add-on to your cameras and nvr (when from the same manufacturer). I have read it is possible to view 32(!) camera's on the screen and the video from...
