    Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

    Tried rpisurv v2.0 and like it very much ... One thing I noticed is that when I have a screen with 4 cams and one cam disconnects abruptly due to a crash / sudden power off then the screen update which tries to redraw all four camera streams again might sometimes fail to properly display the...

    IPC-HDW4431C IR Visable?

    There is a red glow, but its moderate. yes I know.. very subjective ;) The leds on an external 850nm illuminator I have next to it are much more visible.. I did a test with a 940nm led but didnt see the led with the cam, so this cam likely wont do well with any 940nm external illuminator

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    For the sake of science, just tried the '*' interrupting again and it works, I can now fiddle around in u-boot ;) Found out as mentioned earlier by cor35vet that it is very important to already press '*' before connecting power again. Note that my FTDI dongle was set at 3.3v using its onboard...

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    I connected serial comms according to this picture which shows a 4431C-A board. Note that I could read the serial output at 115kbps, but never achieved interrupting u-boot with '*' which has worked for me in the past with other dahua products. Would be curious to find out whether others will...

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    Finally restored my cam back to working condition by flashing Cam35Vets firmware version ! For the ones interested : I used the config tool v1 to flash Cor35Vets EOS version, but sonia was still not starting after it flashed succesfully & rebooted, immediately failing on the language check. I...

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    Finally got telnet access back by fast repeated loading of the telnet HTTP enable URL and scripted login to telnet to set appauto 0, hooray .. This after I remembered the IP which I had set just before bricking it with the firmware upgrade, all this time I was attempting to use the default...

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    Thanks again for your reply. I'll look further into desoldering the chip etc tomorrow as I'm also going to sleep now ;). I already have experience with the firmware unpacking so that will give me a headstart. I would still appreciate a full dump but only if its not too much hassle for you ..

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    Think also the serial option will be a no-go as I have the feeling I must have had set dh_keyboard 0 in advance for a shell. A full dump would be great ! I might try this tomorrow then using an arduino. If you have some info on the chip location on the cam that would be great btw. I assume that...

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    I've tried ^C, after the message "Uncompressing Linux...... done, booting the kernel" but this will not show me any console. I think in order for this to work I would have already needed to have set dh_keyboard 0 in order to see the console right ? When dh_keyboard still on 1 only prevents me...

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    Hi, I'm trying to unbrick a HDW4431C-A which is stuck in a bootloop after flashing DH_IPC-HX4XXX-Eos_Eng_P_Stream3_V2.420.0000.21.R.20160724.bin I tried to use a serial connection in order to interrupt Uboot, but it seems like the '***' characters do not interrupt it. I've previously used this...

    Any experiences with the NVR4216-4K

    I spend some more time investigating the FTP option today. Got it to work with a motion detect channel now which records both to HDD and FTP. The NVR FTP option does not immediately cause new clips to be uploaded. Instead they are transferred in the background it seems roughly with a 2 minute delay.

    Any experiences with the NVR4216-4K

    I got the DH-NVR5216-4KS2 and am really happy with it. The only gripe is that Dropbox/SkyDrive and FTP options do not seem to work (firmware 3.210.0002.0, Build Date: 2015-11-27). For now I am focussing on getting FTP to work. I have setup an FTP server using vsftpd on an openwrt router and...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Does anyone know if a Dahua NVR such as the 52xx-4KS2 products can pickup motion detection events from the S500 cam ?

    Any experiences with the NVR4216-4K

    Nayr, Sorry, I was still editing my post after you replied. Can you perhaps confirm that when using less than 8 channels, the 4216-4k allows for live viewing of 4mp instead of 1080p resolution per channel ? Sounds logical, but I'm new to NVRs and am considering ordering either the 4216-4k or...

    Any experiences with the NVR4216-4K

    Are you referring to the NVR5XXX-4KS2 models ? When comparing the NVR5216-4KS2 model to a NVR4216-4K model two features seems a bit odd for the NVR5216-4KS2 model : Display : 1080p ? Recording : h264 only ? Both seem to be errors as the feature page for the NVR5216-4KS2...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    I'm interested in this cam, but I really dislike the wall mounting bracket as it seems to make the total installation much bigger. Does anyone know whether another bracket like this is available: Or anyone who has a creative mounting idea ;) ?

    IPC-HDW4431C-A Discussion

    Thanks for the update... I'm still interested to learn about your experience. In the other thread it is mentioned that only after switching to MPEG the microphone audio was ok. I hope this is a one off as having to use MPEG2 just to resolve this would be a bummer.

    I'm interested in this cam, especially in the night time footage using IR. If you have any feedback or footage I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Got my Dahua 4MP IPC-HDBW4421R-AS 2.8mm

    This youtube video shows the main entries of the camera firmware configuration software Under 'events' it seems likely that this camera also supports IVS, car and face detect. Can someone confirm whether this is indeed supported ?
