I can't figure this out. I messed with ALL of the "condition" settings and nothing is working. This happens when dusk hits and the IR kicks on. I tried google with no luck but maybe I am not searching the correct issue. Any suggestions on what settings to adjust or what to google to figure out...

I've been dealing with this for a while. The alarm will randomly kick on during the day. I don't have any triggers set during daylight hours. I have several cameras connected to a Dahua NVR. I checked the log on the NVR and it shows this: I am not sure I am reading this correctly. Does this...

Got an issue with setting up IVS on channel 2 on IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2. IVS is enabled. but when I try to click the + to set up an IVS rule, it does nothing. Tried to reset to default and save and save failed. Anyone else encounter this issue? I did a search for this issue on here but...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you can help me with this question. I am having some issues with a relay in the attic. I think the heat is murdering these things. I thought it was due to power surge but I've had two die this summer with no power issues. I can't really move this guy inside very easily...

I have a color-4KX that is generating alarms every few seconds on Dahua NVR, NVR608-32-4KS2. IVS under smart plan is unchecked and IVS is unchecked. I can't figure out what would cause this behavior. Anyone seen this before?

Been trying (unsuccessfully) to make IVS work. I have a Boobie cam on the porch with one camera point down for mail. I want to use that cam to detect someone coming up to my door at night. Relay out is wired to a siren. I have been trying both tripwires and intrusions and nothing works. The...

Device TypeIPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2-3.6mm System VersionV2.840.0000000.18.R, Build Date: 2022-06-29 I set this camera up about a year ago. I noticed a while back it wasn't triggering on IVS so I updated the firmware per Andy to this one: I thought I took enough screenshots to set this back up...

I am trying to search and download past recordings. SmartPSS isn't able to find cameras but I can browse to them if I type in their IP address. Here is an example, I put in the network range but it doesn't find any cameras. But I can browse to them with no problem Any ideas what I could...

Problem camera is an IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2-3.6mm Firmware v2.840.15OG004.0.R Build date 2021-10-27 Anyone have a camera you set up that doesn't trigger on IVS? The camera works but doesn't do any detection. I am hoping a factory reset and reconfig will make it work again. I reset the camera to...

I installed this camera about 6 months ago and configured it with no problems. I went in today to change some IVS settings and I keep getting a "save failed" error. I also have a Dahua NVR, DHI-NVR608-32-4KS2, but I always program the cameras by directly accessing their IP address through a...

Hey guys, I am trying to replace a Boobie Cam (IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2) 2.8mm lens to a wider angle lens. I've tried several but can't get them to work. Every one I have tried has resulted in a blurry image. I tried screwing and unscrewing to various depths and it remains blurry. Anyone replaced...

Problem: how to trigger Audio Linkage on camera B from camera A with no ALARM_OUT wire. Solution: wire NO and C on NVR to ALARM_IN wire on camera B. I asked this question couple weeks past but didn't get much feedback or guidance so I dug in and did some experimenting. I was afraid of...

I tried googling this and reading the operations manual but couldn't find an answer. I am curious if it is possible to trigger ALARM_IN on a camera from NO1/C1 on NVR? I can test this, just wanted to check with you guys before I break something expensive. I'm trying to use a tripwire on a...

I have a blind spot by the garage door. I have cameras covering most of the driveway but I missing the area from the garage door out to about 5 feet. Someone could easily hide in this spot and I wouldn't be able to see them. I already ran the cable where I would like to mount the camera. I am...

I hope this can help someone. I needed to be able to use ALARM OUT on a couple of backyard cameras to trigger a siren. To do this, I used a K80 power control supply that provides power and operates as a relay. You can get this off Amazon. I used 18/2 security cable for the wiring. I got it by...

I've looked at most all of the 5442s I could find and I dont see that they have a built-in speaker like the Color4K-X does for audio out. I am trying to blast out the "you are under surveillance" audio recording when the IVS is triggered, i.e. Audio Linkage. I can't find a 5442 that supports...

Mounted the IPC-HDBW5441f-AS- E2 2.8mm. I noticed I have some weird IR glare in the corner. There is no light on that side of the house, it is completely dark. Turn on illumination and there is glare. When I turn on illumination, there is significant IR glare. Anyone know why this is happening...

Got a Dahua IPC-T5842T-ZE varifocal turret. It was working fine, full screen then 2 vertical black bars appeared, one on each side of the picture. I read the vertical black lines appear when there is a aspect ratio problem but the picture was full screen with no black bars when I installed it...

I am using NVR608-32-4KS2. I added a couple cameras to NVR, initialized, changed IP address and everything was working fine. I needed to delete couple cameras from the Added Devices list in the NVR and I was to re-add them in a specific order. Problem is, now I can't find the cameras. I tried...

I have PFA137 mounted under the eave and trying to attach the HDBW4231F-E2-M to it. First off, there are a sh*t ton of plugs (power, audio in, audio out, ethernet, and alarm wires) and the length of the cable is super long. I cut off the power adapter but might need audio in and out. Second...

Got two cameras having trouble mounting. One is a bullet IPC-Color4K-X and the other is a mini-dome IPC-HDBW4231F-E2. I am trying to drop the IPC-Color4K-X down one foot from a horizontal ceiling. Problem is I dont think they make a ceiling mount for this particular camera. What would you...

Couple questions about this guy. I have 5 skinny wires coming form the IPC-B5442E-Z4E. Where is the best place to find compatible devices that work with the Dahua cameras? I looked on the Dahua site but didn't see anything. I am looking for a siren and light, something that will generate sound...

I know this has been asked before but in the posts I could find, the OP was looking to attach conduit. Is there a gland that both fit Dahua junction boxes and tighten down only using CAT5/CAT6, without using conduit? The set I bought off Amazon and the only sets I can find will fit the Dahua...

It looks like they dont make a dual cat6 gland. How would you run two cat6 cables from a junction box opening? Both cables will have to come out of the same opening.

Read the spec on this but wanted to confirm with you guys, also had a couple questions. I need some that are longer than the ones in the package as the screws aren't long enough to secure the camera to the mount. I need 3/4" but not sure if the threads go down that far in the junction box...

I bought the NVR608-32-4KS2 from Andy. I got everything working for the most part. The only thing I can't seem to figure out is the IVS Scheduler. No matter what I schedule, the audio alarm triggers once the tripwire is broken. Anyone know what might be the problem? I've tried google and...

Ordered the IPC-Color4K-X, came in like a day, crazy fast shipping. Thanks Andy! This is my first cam and I have a few questions for you guys. I can't seem to find info regarding this in the wiki or google or maybe my google fu is weak. I've got a set of wires I can't find any information on...

For a camera I am planning to buy, I found the following specs. Main stream: 3840 × 2160 @(1–25/30 fps) Sub stream: 704 × 576@1–25 fps/704 × 480@1–30 fps Third stream: 1920 × 1080 @ (1–25/30 fps) I would like to have 8 channels live streaming to a TV. The sub stream has terrible resolution...

Just realized I have been posting and I never introduced myself. I've got a bit of a background in tech and trying to install some cameras on my home. It's a crazy world out there. I found this forum trying to research camera technology. The amount of information on cameras is so overwhleming...

Hello, the Cliff Notes say a PoE NVR is a simple plug-n-play setup, but is also less flexible and harder to work with than a non-PoE NVR. Not sure how old or current that statement is but are the newer NVRs with PoE capability harder to work and less flexible than non-PoE? My cable run is...
