    IPC-LPR237B - IR ANPR CAMERA ODDITY

    Dahua, and some older Samsung Ai IP cameras. Question does your matrix device decode CVI? Or is it purely CVBS? It might be that the Camera is sending Analog as CVI as that is Dahua format. While I would think it would /should be doing CVBS but not sure. I didn't find anything in the manual...

    IPC-LPR237B - IR ANPR CAMERA ODDITY

    Only a guess here.. I know that my cameras that offer a BNC output or the IP camera turns off the BNC when you setup IVS zones or Ai rules any format. Normally it says that when you setup the rule that doing so will turn off BNC?

    DAHUA DHI-NVR2108HS Factory Reset

    So your unit from 2017 don't seem to have a reset button. Oddly the older ones normally did. But seems like yours don't. I will send a DM and if today date maybe something there can help. If older date is on NVR would need to know the date.

    4108E-A2, Issues with Time?

    Anyone has an issue with Time? I have all my NVRs setup to get the time from my NTP server and all my other Dahua, Alibi, Amcrest, Annke and Hikvision DVR/NVRs access that server and have no issues with the correct time. However my 4108E-A2 NVR is an hour behind.? Firmware Issue? I mean even my...

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    So one might ask does it really matter? The answer is yes.. Even if you are not using SMD as most here say they are IVS only.. I use IVS and a backup with SMD without enabling it even.. Different story so many say NA but in reality SMD 4.0 will help with IVS even to keep less cats and dogs or...

    UNIVIEW NVR-can't add camera!

    They have good support if you get the good techs lol.. Outside of that, I am not impressed by my uniview either.. Sure not as good as my Dahua or Amcrest DVR/NVRs or Cameras.. Glad you got it. Just so you know in some cases I found that cameras will need to be added ONVIF setup and not the...

    Forced HDD Failure? - Burglary

    I would look at your Power supply, If the HDD has some issues on an event and there could be many factors going on at the time of the event that your HDD had an issue. 1, Motion event. Camera encoding and recording to the HDD.. If there is an issue with power supply you can have issues with...

    POE Alarm/Siren?

    Yeah as I said best thing is to setup your alarm out to trigger an alarm in doors so you know when your tripwire or Intrusion has been tripped. Personally not a video I would post myself.

    POE Alarm/Siren?

    If your NVR has an Alarm output then you could always use a 12v car alarm siren with a 12v power supply and use the output to sound an alarm.. You are aware what your are asking for? I mean I hope you are selective on the cameras alarms you are going to have alert you. I say this because without...

    PTZ5A4M-25X no audio

    Some PTZs do have Mic and Speakers built in, But seems like yours may not.. So would as said before need an external Mic. Then even when you enable from camera at times it seems there might be an issue even with audio after being enable using WebUI. I found in this case you need to go to your...

    Static or DHCP for IP cams?

    Kind of need more info about what you are trying to do.. Personally turn off UpNP in all devices and best to turn it off in your router so one can't sneak on that you forgot to turn off.. Normally Firewall info isn't needed unless you have blocked the devices from access of the internet over...

    Local DVR latency issues

    From your post it sounds like you might want to add in a Switch. Connect your cameras, DVR, BI computer all to the switch and see if that helps with the bottle neck you are having with your router connected devices. Routers are good for dhcp service and giving access to the internet for your...

    Amcrest Smart Home (ASH), No http web user Interface, Boooo!

    Just a heads-up, you can’t flash firmware from a different Amcrest camera like one with a full WebUI onto a Smart Home series Amcrest camera just to get missing features like the Web interface. Even if the cameras look similar or share the same resolution, the firmware is model-specific and...

    Looking for something similar to my ip4m-1051 Amcrest PTZ camera.

    Keep in mind that the 841 is in the line of the 1051. These have been replaced with a v3 model that isn't same quality of camera. PCB is 1/2 the size and they removed Alarm and Audio in and out for external access. However this isn't what makes this v3 line not as good in my mind. That is they...

Axis Communications Axis Q3538-LVE Sensor: 1/1.2" Lens: Varifocal 4.3–8.6 mm, P-Iris, IR-corrected Zoom: ~2x optical (limited due to wide FOV focus) Notes: Exceptional WDR and low light...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Wow nice easy pcb to move, so without trying i am going to guess that camera would fit the Dahua housing. With no wires needing transplanting. Would have loved that being my pcb. Anyway looks like that is widest part and other is narrow, even if it needed to be tilted some that PCB out of its...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    So has been a while, my son was able to locate the normal base. Now i remember the main reason I transplanted the camera. Couple years ago when I went to replace failing MicroSD card 2 of the 3 screws came loose, I had to break the 3rd one from the base and doing so made it not very water tight...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    So went to Cabin and picked up one of the converted cameras, this camera has some extra parts that wasn't needed so this camera had only power and ethernet moved and audio alarm and analog still in dome housing. Camera it self works and picture of housing and close up you can see the red power...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Also said and fails later, Also in my text I mention other things as well that should be looked at, never once did I say that it was a fuse. Just some added things that if a camera is dead look at the fuse as well. Here is old motorized dauha camera, fuse and on the power board there is a fuse...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Here is one of my current FW dead cameras, this has very nice power board circuit, 6 smd caps and 2 through hole, smd fuse and camera 2021. Sorry all cameras have fuses on PCB. Even the Doorbells have more then one fuse. One that dies in them are on main camera pcb. Just because a smd fuse in...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Understand.. A nice scope isn't always needed. Just need to know what the difference are between Diodes and TVS, Fuses and current resistors.. There are many different types of things that can go wrong.. Also there are some times that even with the best meters a diode or other items in a circuit...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Understand. I am not sure how narrow the Hikvision box is. I know that my Dahua boxes work great doing a conversion. I had some indoor cameras that I wanted to use outdoors in an area that didn't have cover. I mean I have put some indoor cameras outside under cover and they are still working...

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    I have Bi and I have loads of NVRs.. Like you I like cameras. I have more then my fair share. I have mostly Amcrest NVRs and DVRs with some Hikvision OEM DVRs that I use as well. I personally like NVRs and DVRs over Bi because of the easy setup and my need to reset my recorders often. I do this...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    My guess is you force it you brick it.. Sure can be recovered most times.. Trying to update I am going to guess it will just fail.. About your other cameras.. I personally would buy a different housing and remove the guts from the Dome cameras and enter them into a larger then life housing...
