    IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 SD-card erro

    Here I'm back again with SD-card issues. I'm about to install my IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 (that I won from Andy; see: IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 - Dahua Technology) but the camera is giving me SD-card errors. I use a brand new SD-card and formatted on my laptop before installing it in the camera but the...

    @EMPIRETECANDY Any plans for shipping to EU from your new website (https://empiretech01.com/)? Since your store on Amazon.de has very limited inventory. ;)

    Hey Andy. I'm looking for the PFB203W mount (for the camera I won from you!). I live in the EU. You don't use Aliexpress for us in the EU anymore and your new website doesn't ship to EU (yet?). Email is now the only way to buy from you?

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    So probably a good idea to format the SD-card on my laptop before placing it in the camera and then another format through the camera's webinterface, just to be sure. The reset did mess things up. It got the same IP-adress as the 5442 and all things went wrong. These things/problems take years...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    Well, I managed to make some progress. I factory reset the 5231 and now the IVS events get to the NVR. I haven't installed the SD card yet, that's something for tomorrow. Hopefully that'll work.

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    Removed the SD-card from the 5231 and rebooted. Still the same issue. No IVS triggers comes throught towards the NVR.

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    My camera is giving me more problems. 2 days ago (August 29) I changed 2 things. Around 15:00 in the afternoon, I removed an old IVS tripwire rule and replaced it with a new one (landscaping changed so I had to change the rules). Every setting I got right, I verified it also with another camera...

    Dahua NVR continues blue (intelligent) recording?

    IVS didn't show up on the NVR's timeline again today. (apparently not since last Thursday). Did the above and now working again. But still, this shouldn't happen. I'm lucky I'm using SD-cards in the camera's (where I'm only recording IVS events), otherwise I wouldn't known what happened. But I...

    EmpireTech 8th Anniverasay Sales July.18th-23rd

    Awesome. So all orders from European customers now come from the USA? The free tax way from the USA is great too. Will this give us EU customers the possibilty (in the future perhaps?) to order stuff from your refurbished list? ;) Also, it's July 4 here, so starting now we can send you emails...

    Is Dahua still the top dog?

    Because it's not a consumer product. I don't know how it is in the US, but here (Netherlands) I can't run out and buy a Dahua product in a regular shop. Only niche websites (and I count @EMPIRETECANDY in this category). Or get a security company or something that does a whole installation (and...

    DSS Express Replace the SmartPss

    Has anyone compared SmartPSS versus DSS Express? You know, just for us home users with a couple of camera's, NVR nothing more. I only use it (SmartPSS) for live view and playback.

    Dahua NVR screen timeout?

    Hmm, I might have not looked enough. Under System -> General there's a "Auto Logout (Min.). I set that to 0 and now there's still a HDMI live view days later. I guess that was the solution.

    Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

    Yeah, I think I have different problem(s). Even with stock Raspberry Pi OS, the RPi won't fully boot. Sometimes it stuck on a black screen, at the moment on a white screen (with grey RPi icons/accessoires; don't know what this screen). SD card seems to be fine (writing OS and accessing files...

    Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

    I know this is a very old thread, but I was playing around with an old Raspberry Pi (first-generation Model B) and I couldn't get Rpisurv to work. Looks like (GPU) memory issues. (Even with just 1 substream) The OP of this thread says a RPi model 2 or newer, the github page just says a...

    Dahua NVR screen timeout?

    Quick question; I have a Dahua NVR4116HS-4KS2 connected to a TV. I almost never use the HDMI output (I watch recordings through SmartPSS) but once in a while; I have the TV display the camera('s). But when I switch the TV's input to the NVR; the screen is always black. The camera's will show...

    @EMPIRETECANDY Refurbs are just returns right? Since you now have a EU Amazon store (Germany), is there a possible refurb list for us Europeans in the future? ;)

    Bird feeder

    I've gotten interested in this subject too. But the thing is; it's not worth €100+ to me. A Dahua camera would be the easiest (easy integration with other camera's and NVR) but the cheapest one ( IPC-T2431T-AS) is still close to €100. Dahua doesn't seem to stock cheaper camera's anymore. Also...

    WizMind vs WizMind "S" ?

    The 'old' 5442 also has a build-in mic. Inevitable but slightly annoying, because it seems there isn't a direct replacement for it. @jarrow Yes, the body of the camera looks cheaper indeed. I'm interested in what the actual, real differences are going to be versus the 'old' camera's, also...

    TP-Link is innovating better than Hik/Dahua?

    This. I have no experience with camera's from Google, Ring or the like (probably for the same reason as most people here), but that stuff could potentially be installed and used by anyone. Now compare that to a system with Dahua/Hikvision camera's with a NVR or something like Blue Iris. Most...

    WizMind vs WizMind "S" ?

    Yes, I saw these new camera's too. I used their 'Product selector" to compare both versions of the IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE. Differences between the 2 seem to be lower Min. Illumination and 4 instead of 3 streams. The 'new' one also has Audio In/Out and Alarm In/Out. But most differences seems to be...

    Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras

    Oh don't get me wrong; I like the fact there's build-in human/vehicle detection. For a lot of situations that's hugely beneficial like you said; brings down false alarms. But it's just sad Dahua then removes functionality like basic IVS detection; I mean; there's even a checkbox to check/uncheck...

    Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras

    Yep -> Seems al new models are moving to vehicle/human detection only. A real shame Dahua is actively removing functionality.

    Dahua NVR continues blue (intelligent) recording?

    Don't know it it keeps working, but - for now - that tips seems to help this problem too: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-nvr-seems-to-forget-ivs-recording-settings.61146/
