    Dahua vs unifi

    In my house I have unifi APs, network gateway and soon switches to provide poe for devices. With that said I ordered a verifocal dahua clone from Andy, but afterwards started to ask myself why I broke trend in matching my equipment. So I just wonder how the brands compare. From what I saw...

    Budget Dahua Cams or china alternatives under $100?

    yes, I am having these very fears, but if the answer is as simple as a firewall rule, I am OK with it. Why would I think my camera is exposing me any more than my cell phone these days. I simply talk about things and they suddenly become suggestions...

    So is the IPC-T5442T-ZE not NDAA compliant? If not, am I breaking any laws ordering it?

    WD Red died. Should I get WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk ?

    OK got it. Will be curious once I start playing where I end up with both space and requirements. It is my first venture into the space, so I wasn't sure what to even consider as a target. 30 days, was my guess, but I could see the need for longer in certain situations.

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    Dumb question, reading about some of the security concerns with hikvision and other cameras. Is that still a concern with the camera I ordered? Or is it as simple as a firmware patch?

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    got it. I am convinced, going to get a single camera (if I can figure out how to buy it) and test. then, install, use and eventually expand.

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    i feel dense at times. I am searching for this camera, IPC-T5442T-ZE Is the only way to purchase it, is via @EMPIRETECANDY or aliexpress? I see it on aliexpress, but was hoping there were more vendors to choose from. For instance, I do not see it in the ipct store either, unless I am doing...

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    If I did something like the dahua dual camera and moved it forward in my front step, what is the theoretical left to right coverage I could gain? I know some people use it for identification and then package monitoring, but If I was only after seeing who approached the house would this be a...

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    understood. Thinking about it, I would have 75% coverage with a camera at the door and one near the garage. However, if someone came from the left of the yard, I would have no coverage. At the same time, I have nothing at the moment, so as you note, get the door covered and figure it out from...

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    Good point, me standing and looking is different from the camera. As for what I want, I don't totally know. I want to see who comes to the door as a start, from there I probably want to see things in the front yard, then driveway, then patio. I don't think I can ever have full coverage of...

    Awesome, thank you. With a camera like that, where do you place it on an entry way like this? Walkway is to the left.

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    I started a post on Reddit and in the end, I was sent here for more direct advice on my needs. Below is my post from Reddit as I feel there is no reason to re-write it. I have seen some posts about hikvision, but then I learned there is a lot of rebranding with them, so while good, maybe...
