I've set up IVS with line crossing and tried a few other settings but have turned off SMD settings. Notice that I no longer receive notifications on the mobile DMSS app although I have stipulated motion, A.I analysis Tripwire and Intrusion. Anyone find this and if so found a resolution?

Holding out for a cam with larger sensor 180 view that offers a I.R. filter. I can always add a I.R. illuminator.

Decided to try a Dahua 5MP Full-color Active Deterrence Fixed-focal Bullet WizSense Network Camera. Having issue with the active deterrence part of the camera whereby if I only specify A.D. lights only I get both lights and active speaker alerts. Even if I specify schedule A.D. only I get A.D...

The "client" is my mom, no money for services was exchanged. The cams and NVR function locally and on her phone DMSS app which is all she cares about. This is the second Dahua NVR I installed a non POE NVR is at my place of residence whereby I use a POE switch. Not my FT or PT job but a field of...

New Dahua POE NVR installed at client aka mom's place. NVR assigning cams internal I.P. addresses of 10.xxxx making it so cams can not be directly accessed via their assigned I.P. addresses. The NVR is attached to a router which has assigned it a I.P. address and I've made that static on the...

Maybe I had a dud, but the I.R. variant was better all around. Also the L.E.D. version light isn't that low of a setting at #1 vs other Dahua cams with L.E.D. I now prefer to use an offset I.R. illuminator for added visibility or light away from the camera as it minimizes the majority of false...

Encode as shown. Shutter priority 1/60. Backlight off with white balance auto.

Installed a prosumer Hikvision cam at co-workers place and noticed it had an LED that was triggered by motion as a setting. Can't seem to find this feature on Dahua cams. Any models I missed on my searches?

Tried both with B/W and color. The ASE was able to provide color with lower ambient lighting than the LED version.

Recently purchase 1 of each of the IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE with the I.R. and IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED with L.E.D. The difference on paper between these 2 cams is one having Infra-Red and the other having a L.E.D. light. My field experience is different in terms of low light visibility performance. I...

Just ordered a IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE the I.R. version vs my initial L.E.D. IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED variant. Going forward I won't be ordering any further camera's without I.R. capability as I prefer to turn off the built in camera lights and use offset lighting or I.R. illuminators. Lights on camera...

Can anyone explain why a camera with a 1/1.8" sensor can have a F stop of 1.6 while a camera with a sensor of 1/2.7" can have a F stop of 1.0?

Figured so much. Thanks for they reply.

I accidently disabled P2P on Dahua NVR now can't connect remotely. Am I s.o.l. until I can turn on again at physical location?

Will give that a shot next time I'm up at friends cottage where the system is setup.

Hi all, let me preface that I'm use to working with Dahua but recently installed a Hikvision p.o.e. NVR and Hikvision I.P. cams. Initially the cams were setup with their own I.P. addressed allowing me to reach each cam via a browser but subsequently even after a cam reset I can not see the cams...

Hello from Mississauga and welcome to what I've learned to be the best online site for camera security and related systems.

Definitely need the built in LED. Do use manual mode vs auto on lights but even at 1 it's bright. Ideally a cam with both LED and the ability to see I.R. would be best. LED for winter and I.R. for summer due to flying bugs and spider triggers.

Good call, the tag was on the cable. I was able to update the firmware as stated on site. Not overly impressed by LED version of 5442 night time low light capabilities, but that's another subject.

Site did claim upgradeable firmware. Been lucky so far with past Dahua cams (not Hikvision) from Alixpress.

Didn't have much time to play with it when it arrived late yesterday but plan on taking a better look when I'm free this Saturday. It's a 5442-LED via Alix... It's a turret or what they call eyeball (dumb naming). I'm in Canada and a comparable camera from ADI was $100 more. Off topic I find the...

Received a new Dahua I.P. camera yesterday. Noticed the box has labeling / tag but nothing on the camera. Is this normal?

Nothing beats real world testing, shout out for posting. Do you mean 400 lumens vs 400 watts? The achilleas heel of the 5442 LED is that it does not have an I.R. filter vs the other variants of the 5442. I plan to test the eyeball / turret 5442 LED with their led's disabled to judge it's 1.8 low...

Feedback to many suggestions. The recommendations made a big difference regarding ghosting at night. I should be receiving a IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED to replace the driveway camera and if it works out well will also replace front door ceiling patio cam with similar.

Implemented the suggested changes yesterday. Notice a vast improvement with reduction of ghosting and motion blurring. I have two of these and plan to change them within the next few weeks. Decided to go with a 5442 3.6mm for the driveway. Not sure what would be ideal for the front door landing...

Thanks for the suggestions wittaj, I will try these changes when I get home tonight. May be better off changing this camera?

My daytime vs night recording quality is dramatic. I'm not able to identify faces at night and get a lot of ghosting. Little difference with I.R. lights or even outside garage lights on. Suggestions welcome for those who have solved similar issues. Camera model IPC-HDW2831TM-AS-S2 8MP Lite IR...

Tried that also, no added footprints in snow. Thanks.

Think I will have to change my settings for the front door going forward, Thanks.

Trench town is a different world from rural Portugal. Don't blame him taking moderate steps in this case.
