    SmartPSS refusing to start win10 - SOLVED

    Uninstalled SmartPSS, removed all traces from Explorer, registry and Windows Defender Firewall. that didn't resolve it on it's own. Removed as much of the Intel Management Engine as possible. DH_SmartPSS_International_Win32_IS_V2_02_1_R_180619 downloaded via the Dahua Toolbox configuration...

    SmartPSS refusing to start win10 - SOLVED

    About 6 weeks ago I updated windows to latest release candidate version 21H1. After that I had to authorise SmartPSS at each start, from an admin account. (PIA). A few times in the last week when I would switch to a running instance of SmartPSS it would glitch out and freeze the machine while...

    Improve deployment

    What an unusual way to mount that camera. I tend to mount them the the IR lights above the lens or if vertical install with the lens being orientated closer than the IR to the action. I would try putting the camera in the lights up orientation first. If no improvement I would remove wall...

    Ideas for Carpark CCTV with Strobe light / siren

    For sonic alert I would use a "white sound reversing alarm". You are probably familiar with the regular beep beep beep reversing alarms on trucks. Recently in London and noticed all lorries (trucks) using white noise reversing alarms. Hell of a lot less annoying but much easier to spatially...

    Recommendations of a POE switch(4+ port) for home use

    Responded to OP privately but will post here for future reference. I have bought these in many regions and in some of those energy efficiency was highlighted by stickers on the shrink wrap. I am talking about OECD countries who have strict laws concerning truth in advertising, such as...

    Recommendations of a POE switch(4+ port) for home use

    Installed many of them and even use them myself. Price is the only thing to consider in your list of requirements. Whatever you do don't buy the Dahua PFS3110-8P-96 as I don't believe they meet advertised spec.

    Searched and searched but cant find answers..

    The best way to determine if they are international is to search for them on Dahua's site. If you can work your way through getting your cameras working on your current gear, may I suggest that you look into Mikrotik network gear. As per CCTV there is a learning curve but you will not find...

    Searched and searched but cant find answers..

    Unless you can find the firmware on Dahua's site or you can get from your original supplier, I wouldn't risk it. Got a smile about the brown box bit because that would have to be easiest thing to copy. UPnP disabling is good a good first step as is changing the default ports and passwords...

    dahua intercom security issues on 3 apartments?

    The two prior posts are really interesting. One company worth a look at is Mikrotik. You guys have some knowledge or at least interest. Best bang for your buck if you have networking basics down.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    How much did the DSLR cost? Professional IPTV gear can get almost as good results, depending on budget. Dahua 8 series is very good but if budget extends further, this isn't the best forum.

    What does the green box do?

    As per you picture. The vehicle has triggered Rule 1. You can turn it off in your NVR settings by changing the "Show IVS Rule" option. Probably the same in the camera but I leave it on as I find makes live monitoring multiple cams easier.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z vs Z12 - Iris Adjustment Option

    Guessing it is to do with different types of lenses of the cams. Specs for the Z state Motorized/ Auto Iris(DC), the Z12 states Motorized/ Auto Iris(HALL). Not certain but in electronics the HALL effect sensor would be more precise as the logic would be aware of the point of focus at any given...

    why IPC-HFW8232E-Z slow motion video recording on sd card?

    60fps is insanely high. 15fps - 20fps is a reasonable amount. 15fps will give you 4x the recording time, 1/4 the write cycles on the card, and will extend MTBF.

    Opinions on Camera locations and type

    The choice of cameras largely when you think "action" is going to happen. Turrets would be my choice of styles for the front of the house. I would reconsider mounting the garage cams on that fascia, if there is room above the garage door inside the garage I would go straight through the...
