    Dahau camera availability

    Thanks for the link. Very strange. Dahua not allowing shipping of their products from Ali to anywhere but the USA and Canada. I’d love to know what’s behind that. Thanks again.

    Dahau camera availability

    Has Andy / EmpireTech stopped trading? Got all my cameras from him a few years ago. Went onto Ali and the store is empty!? :(

    Excellent outcome with Blue Iris on an iMac 27" (Late 2013) running Windows 11

    Good point. I already had that too. So it was a zero extra cost for me but wouldn't necessarily be so for others.

    Excellent outcome with Blue Iris on an iMac 27" (Late 2013) running Windows 11

    Fair enough, if those costs are achievable then can't argue with the maths. Re the USB / NAS position, I haven't done any testing, all I can say is my experience using them in a few years has not cause me issues. Maybe my use case is more relevant for those who already own the iMac and are not...

    Excellent outcome with Blue Iris on an iMac 27" (Late 2013) running Windows 11

    Hi All, I just wanted to document the excellent outcome I have had running Blue Iris in Windows 11 on a now unsupported (for latest OSX software) iMac 27" (Late 2013) running Windows 11. My BI setup is 8 4MP Dahua POE cameras recording 24x7 and archiving after 24 hours to a storage drive. I...

    Excellent - thank you. It didn’t dawn on me to check in on the vendor thread.

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    I thought so too but the version on the website is later than the one installed. Do you know what is considered the latest stable version?

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    That is good advice and one I often follow. Especially with devices such as these that are isolated on their own VLAN and security patching is not an issue. However, the review thread makes reference to having to make manual adjustments to the camera settings for optimal performance (I’m...

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    Hello everyone, As part of my setup process for these cameras, I am going to update them to the latest published FW. Can anyone tell me, of the 3 FW options in the following link (assuming I am in the right spot), what the differences are and how I choose which one to flash my IPC with...

    IPC-T5542T-ZE Camera Information Missing

    Well, that is certainly a sensible and level headed response. Time will tell on the performance but for now I will continue with my setup and not worry about it. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    IPC-T5542T-ZE Camera Information Missing

    Thats exactly the issue. As they say, pictures say things better than words. Nice to see that there is nothing I have done wrong here. It would be nice (for my OCD) to understand why some cameras (that are even the same model - if not the same part #) do this and some don't.

    IPC-T5542T-ZE Camera Information Missing

    Hello All, It has been some time since my last post - I have been taking a very measured approach to my surveillance setup and making sure that what I am doing considers all the advice that this community has to offer. I have recently purchased (1 initially to test +7 when I was happy)...

    REVIEW- Loryta T2831TM-AS Budget 8MP Starlight Turret

    Thank you for this review. Given my requirements I think I am going to go with these cameras predominantly for my setup. Now I have to find the best price for them in Australia and I guess Ill have to get mounts too so I will have to wait till I move in before I can decide where I am going to...

    REVIEW- Loryta T2831TM-AS Budget 8MP Starlight Turret

    Hello from Australia! I have been looking at Cameras for weeks now and have only just come on this forum following a recommendation from a local FB group I am in. Wow there is wealth of knowledge and information here. This is a cam that is locally available here in Australia although it seems...

    Blue Iris on an iMac running Windows 10 via Bootcamp

    Hello All, First time poster, long time reader. As I plan to move into my new home I am planning on investing heavily in home automation and security. Obviously, one of those items is security cameras. I have landed on using BlueIris as my NVR (no brainer really) and am very pleased to see...
