    Dahuas lose custom bitrate upon reboot. Any work around?

    Is it possible that a connected NVR is responsible, or is this a happening to the cameras in a standalone environment? Cheers, Steve

    Dahua NVR4208 Motion Detect

    Ah, that's a fairly important aspect to know. Search topics regarding firmware downgrade, which probably entails connecting to the NVR via a terminal type protocol.

    Dahua NVR4208 Motion Detect

    Next step is to log into the camera directly and make the settings changes there.

    Help with set up (thanks in advance :))

    First guess is that your new network is on a different internal IP address.

    SmartPSS - anyone have 7 cameras and phone alerts working

    Anecdotally, I ran PCNVR for well over a month while my Dahua NVR was in RMA with Andy. It was processing seven cams, and I had absolutely no problems with it. I'm not saying it's great, but it should work. Cheers, Steve

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    These are Chinese market cameras. There may be an inconsistency with the exchange of settings from the NVR to the camera. I think the Cliff Notes document may assist with information about accessing the camera interface directly, however you may need a power supply for the camera as I understand...

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    I'm not familiar with the IP addressing used by the PoE Dahua NVRs, so can't offer much direct advice. Hopefully someone has a reference they can point you to. What model cams do you have? Cheers, Steve

    Maybe check that the changes have actually been made in the cameras?

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE vs IPC-T5442TM-AS

    Aside from the fixed lens, are there any "gotchas" (for want of a better term) for the 5442 against the venerable 5231 and its new mate the 2231? I appreciate all points have likely been mentioned in the review threads. However it would be fantastic for us less studious folk to get some...

    Good (and affordable) starter camera?

    My terminations are pushed through a twenty something millimetre hole into brick. Lower profile and less expensive. My house is rendered so a "change of mind" repair is much the same irrespective of size. Varifocal has massive benefit as your first cam. It allows you to gain understanding of...

    Good (and affordable) starter camera?

    Bear in mind that audio is technically illegal here down under anyway. I submitted some raw (DAV) footage to the PoPo recently and it's going to court. I forgot that one of the feeds has audio. Fortunately the perp doesn't speak! I think it'll slip through to the keeper [emoji6] I expect...

    Good (and affordable) starter camera?

    Is that Andy's price Michal? (Edit: just checked back and that's about what I paid for the previous model mid 2018) Maybe look at the HDW2231R-ZS if it's still around. They might get down close to US$100 now. Still, the Aussie exchange rate is gonna hurt. I have a trade account with Rhino if...

    Spotto... or "ID this Camera"

    This ad is from a Dahua reseller with their own brand. Does anyone have any clues as to what model Dahua this might be, if it is indeed one at all? It looks like OK buying??? Cheers, Steve Australia

    Ideas?

    In the Dahua menu you can find out the "incoming bandwidth" of your camera feeds. It will be helpful information, along with the specific model of NVR. Another factor is the processing power of the computer you're using SmartPSS on... it can load up even a decent system. Lastly, is your network...

    Starting without a PC and BlueIris setup

    I did all initial positioning using my mobile phone. However do you have a computer available to do the initial set-up of the cameras? Cheers, Steve

    Dahua snapshot email empty

    Are you able to post images of your settings?

    DVR Dahua. files deleted. Need brainstorming on this.

    I'd revisit the disk recovery process then. I can't believe that the NVR was saving the recorded streams as Shockwave Flash. Have you tried opening the recovered files with the Dahua DAV player? Cheers, Steve

    New User Question

    Depending on the mains wiring layout, Ethernet Over Power might be an option. Does the garage power supply run via the house? Cheers, Steve

    Crap. Bought wrong switch... will it matter?

    Make sure that whatever it is connected to upstream does not reduce all its other ports to 100 megabit... if that would be an issue for you. Cheers, Steve

    Does Motion Detect cancel IVS features?

    2: Yes. 1: Every MD or IVS event will have a subsequent "clear" email, which has no image attached.

    Dahua SD49225T-HN suggestions for mic connection

    Is the impedance and sensitivity compatible between the devices? A "powered mic" does not necessarily output "line level", which I have a suspicion the camera will be expecting. If you post the datasheets and/or specifications it would assist in assisting you. Cheers, Steve

    Dahua NVR Setup

    Email alerts using Gmail remains broken on NVR4208-8P-4kS2, so you will need to use another provider. I am successfully using Yahoo, but I have read of someone having problems with this option. There is a whole thread on the topic of email alerts. https://ipcamtalk.com/index.php?threads/39414/...

    Camera Tolerance to 12V Supply Fluctuations

    So... in the context of Dahua HDCVI... once programmed, the camera will retain these settings irrespective of power cycling and long periods powered down? If so I could probably have the supplier switch it to mirrored. Cheers, Steve
