It isn't a picture, it's a substream via HTTP

Never mind - got the sound working through the app. Has anyone managed to get sound from the DVR via HTTP API and substream? For example: Accessing the camera via http://ip_address/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=1

no worries - any ideas on the sound issue?

Thanks for the reply - I tried to update the firmware by downloading the latest version from NVR5208/5216/5232-4KS2 then browsing for the .BIN file from the web interface, but I got update failed then the NVR just reboot itself.

Thank you!

Hello I have two cameras, an IPC-T5442T-ZE and IPC-T5442TM. I assume this red light in the photo below for the IPC-T5442T-ZE is an infrared light? If so, why doesn't the IPC-T5442TM model camera have it ? They're sitting side by side in the dark?

Ahh so the cameras must be IP cameras? My colleague only has COAX cameras, so I'll make sure I get IP cameras to ensure this functionality is present :)

Thanks for the response - A colleague of mine has a Dahua NVR model XVR5108H-4kl and I was playing around with it the other day, we couldn't work out how to stream via HTTP. Is this unique to specific Dahua DVRs? Just want to make sure I purchase the right one

Thanks for the responses! I am struggling to find a decent turret or dome camera by Dahua with a 1/1.8" sensor that is available in Australia. Do you guys have any recommendations? Also, RTSP is not available via web browsers as the browsers cannot process it. RTSP streams need to be processed...

Hello I am planning on purchasing these cameras: https://www.securitywholesalers.com.au/product/dahua-8-x-4mp-dh-ipc-hdw2431emp-eyeball-turret-kit-30m-ir-2-8mm-8ch-nvr-2tb-hdd/ I have a home automation system which I'd like to live stream the cameras to. My system is running an Ubuntu server...
