For the Canadian channels, I just used Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#5_GHz_(802.11a/h/n/ac/ax) Channel 48 in Canada is Indoor, in US is both Indoor and Outdoor. I mounted the camera outside. The 5GHz was too weak for the camera to use it. In fact I find the...

Thanks for the reply. I tested with a 5G only AP 1m away from the camera. The camera does not see it in the list. After playing with various channels, the camera accepted to connect to the 5GHz Wi-Fi when it was on channel 157. The screen doesn't show the 5G WiFi that it is connected to in the...

Do you still have the camera? I got the Canadian version (IPC-L46N-CAN) and for the life of me I cannot get it to see any 5GHz Wi-Fi. Did you ever try to use 5G, can you post a picture of the Web UI that shows where you can change the Frequency in the settings? This is the WiFi page I see...

I ended up buying one (IPC-L46N-CAN) from a Canadian Dahua Authorized dealer (about 300CAD after tax) and overall the camera is good. The look and feel of the WebUI is identical to the wired cameras. The lag is also the same as with the wired cameras. The only issue I have is that I cannot get...

I have one IPC-HDW2439TP-AS-LED-S2 camera that keeps switching to continuous video and snapshot recording: I uncheck, save, and a few days later I notice the Storage filling and go to the camera and see the box is checked. Unchecking from "Storage destination" doesn't help. the General box...

Yes, but setting the authentication is a different story. You need to put a header in BI (Basic Authorization works) with the encoded password. For basic Authentication, you can simply use the browser's JavaScript to encode (no need to look for online tools and risk leaking your credentials)...

Thanks, this worked for me. The forum has some older threads that suggest /cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting[0][1].Mode=Off but (at least for newer cameras), need to use Lighting_V2 /cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][0][0].Mode=Off

In the browser: http://10.0.0.10/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting[0][1].Mode=Off This works for my Dahua HDW2439T-AS-LED-S2 or 5442 LED only partially: it changes the config (I can confirm in the camera's UI), but it does not "activate" it. In other words it changes config...

This request seems to change the config setting, but not apply it. When I go to the camera, I see the setting is change, but the lights don't turn on/off until I go and click Save. EDIT: The forum has some older threads that suggest...

Thanks for this post! I just want to add that this also works for Dahua HDW2439T-AS-LED-S2. In the browser is asks for Digest Authentication. EDIT: Did you ever figure out how to send the authenticated request through Blue Iris?

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about adding motion lights, but this camera has two (bright enough) LEDs. Even when I run them 1/100 intensity it is enough for the camera to see very well. I would like to configure Blue Iris to actually turn them on on movement, so I would get the...

Same visitor, much darker night: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MZoNxDec1Po

This is a capture from Feb 25th at 4 AM with only ambient light. I attempted an export from Blue Iris... I had to transcode it, otherwise, the clip would be mostly blank with the occasional inserted frame. I find the transcoding reduced the quality compared to what the camera records directly to...

Thanks for the suggestions. I am on 5.4.6.3 not on BI 5.7.5 yet, will check it out. I have a distinction between ONVIF and EXTERNAL alerts on the "Camera Settings > Alert" tab, and I unchecked ONVIF, but made no difference. Only way to control it seems to be to disable MD/SMD in the camera and...

Awesome idea. Most "interesting" things around here happen during the day (I mean really 2-3 burglaries that I know of happen during the day when people are at work). So I can set a faster shutter during the day, for crispier images and a slower one at night - until the image gets too dark. Will...

How can I configure Blue Iris to only alert on EXTERNAL (IVS) events, and not on every movement due to wind from ONVIF events?

Thanks for the reply. Definitely shutter prio does something to backlight compensation (on both cameras). I rememer it was suggested to me to set the shutter priority to something like 25ms to reduce motion blur at night, but I ended up leaving it on auto because the image is much better day an...

FWIW, I have another camera of same model, but an older firmware and it has the full "Backlight" compensation options. So I think the first camera is either defective or needs a hard reset.

I have a IPC-HDW2439TP-AS-LED-S2 (IPC-HDW2439T-AS-LED-S2? - not sure what the extra T means) and it's supposed to support WDR, HLC, and BLC as "Backlight" compensation. However, when I go to Backlight, the mode is Off, and the only option is WDR, but when I select it nothing happens and if I...

I think I have the same model as you and I managed to upgrade the firmware via the camera's web interface as admin. If you still want to upgrade try the Online upgrade - that worked for me You do need to give at least temporary internet access, or maybe try to browse to the firmware file...

The camera is configured to record to SFTP and there is no option to choose the format. The files are always a pair of .dav and .idx. I am not saving the video captures. I just playback from PC NVR timeline or open the .dav in VLC (which mostly works). However, if you open the .dav in SmartPSS...

Where to buy and how much? I found a Canadian store that advertises it for 280 CAD (+shipping +tax).

Figured it out.... when I specified the folder, it created another folder in it, so my recordings were a level lower than expected. The old camera folder that was empty was probably from a previous attempt where I forgot to click "Enable" or something.

I have a few Dahua Cameras and I managed to get them to record to SFTP, but I cannot manage to get the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED to do that. The events are triggering properly. Video detection enabled, record check. SMD enabled, Smart Plan IVS which works properly in Live View. The Storage > Path...

For one Dahua camera only, I get success on test, it creates the camera folder, but nothing is ever created inside, for the other cameras, they work, but I got them setup a while back and I don't remember the Voodoo I did to get them working.

The model is a budget IPC-HDW2439TP-AS-LED-S2. The camera also records to SFTP and the delay is there are well. When I watch the recordings, they begin very late after the event. This started to happen after I began messing up with BI trying to get IVS to work. I rebooted the camera and it seems...

Thanks, I actually found it right after posting. There is a pre-record on the camera but it can only be set 0-2 seconds. Putting 10 seconds in BI really does the trick. Might have t make it even more. I don't know why the (Dahua) Camera takes so long to trigger. It used to work better, but...

With the help of this thread, I finally managed to get Blue Iris to record on IVS events. I'm not sure what the issue was, probably the ONVIF source = 00000 and the Alerts > Motion Zones: uncheck. But one issue that I have is that the recording starts late. It could be the IVS fires late as...

@samplenhold , I might have missed it, but I'm curious what is your setup? What do you use to record your footage and to trigger the alerts?

I have the cameras sending IVS alerts to DMSS without P2P as long as I am on the same WiFi, or via VPN (and the app was not closed for a while) The issue is the alerts are useless if you don't record to SD Card or NVR because when recording to NAS/FTP, you cannot view the video from the app. I...
