I'm in the process of upgrading my Hikvision setup to Dahua and am selling off all my old stuff. I originally purchased everything from LTS Security, who was a vendor on this forum at the time (not sure if they still are or not), so all my cameras are USA versions and upgradeable via firmware. I...

I can't figure out why some of my cameras are showing a continues Intelligent event when searching on my Dahua NVR. Each of these cameras has a IVS line crossing trigger, and all of them are also set to record continuously. I'd expect to see green (general) most of the time, with bits of yellow...

In order to get cat5/6 cable out to one of my cameras I am going to need to run it underground for 20 or so feet. My original plan was to use 1/2" EMT conduit on the sides of the house straight into the ground with a 90 degree bend. I would then just use direct burial Cat5/6 cable to reach my...

Ok, so I think I am about to bite the bullet and start moving over the Dahua cameras from my current Hikvision setup. What junction box would I need for the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and SD49225T-HN? From the data sheets on Dahua's website I believe I will need PFA137 (for 5231) and PFA120 (for 49225)...

I currently have a 2 year old Hikvision setup and have been pretty happy with it, but after seeing all these awesome images at night from Dahua am thinking about switching over. In addition, there have been a recent spat of mailbox thefts and my current Hik camera is not zoomed in nearly enough...

I currently have a Hikvision NVR with about 9 cameras, but want to add a PTZ close to the street to potentially catch some mailbox thieves. The PTZ would be mounted about 20' from the street and mailbox. I am looking for a PTZ that will automatically track moving objects and also less than...

I recently started to notice that the range of our garage door opener was becoming less and less. Whereas before I could open the garage door from the end of the driveway, I now had to be right up close to the door in one of our cars. The opener in our other vehicle stopped working altogether...

I'm in the process of installing my cameras and so far have got my mini-dome installed next to the front door about 6' high so that I could get a good view of faces. From this location, however, I cannot see directly under the camera and cannot see what is directly on the door step. I'm debating...

My driveway is set back a fair distance from the street, and I wanted to know what the best option would be in terms of focal length for the camera. I was planning on getting the Hik 4mp turret style camera with either a 2.8mm or 4mm lens. Shot of garage from street (similar house to mine)...

I've decided to go with Hikvision cameras, but am trying to decide whether I should go with a 4mm or 2.8mm lens for my front door. I've marked my proposed camera location with a red X, which is approximately 6' high. I could go higher or lower, whichever makes more sense. I was thinking of...

I discovered this forum a few days ago and have been learning as much as I could by reading through the many threads, and have finally come to what I believe is a decent setup. I've included a top view of my house. Red lines are doors with the larger red line being the garage. Green dots are...

Hi, just wanted to say hi as I just joined this forum. Looking to replace my D-link cameras with Hikvision (most likely).
