    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Just an added note from a newb; I am still setting up my Dahua system and I was not able to get the time stamp synched on my cameras (tried a few different NTP servers). I reconfigured settings for cameras and SmartPSSLite using " time.cloudflare.com " I have had no further problems but I have...

    Highest Capacity HDD For EmpireTech NVR16CH-16P-2AI-S2?

    This model specs HDDs at up to 20tb. I am considering the possibility of a 22tb drive. Has anyone tried using a larger drive than spec calls for? In this climate of supply and demand problems, I especially don't want to make such a purchase blindly. edit: Also, how about a 24tb or 26tb? I'm...

    Caught someone on my roof with my ptz cam

    After i posted I thought of the Gremlin on the wing of the in-flight airliner that was pulling it apart in the classic Twilight Zone episode, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."

    54IR operating temperature

    Since these temps aren't an issue, it seems that they may serve a good purpose by mitigating moisture?

    Where have all the PTZ cameras gone?

    Where have all the PTZ cameras gone?

    Just ask Andy about mounts. I think how you install it is more imprtant than which mount you use. Make sure to sink your bolts into studs. And be certain that your ladder or whatever support you use is rock-solid. You'll have enough to deal with balancing and supporting the camera's weight. You...

    RF Detector?

    Ok, I'm curious, has your neighbor explained what is up with the IR panels? What has he told you? This seems like it may be a matter requiring good communication and working together before things get uglier. I have a camera pointing towards my neighbor's house. I have absolutely no interest in...

    Does IR Light Deter Wildlfe?

    Since I began running 2 20w IR blasters I have seen a noticeable drop in the number of my small to medium sized nocturnal visitors. I'm wondering if they are bothered by these lights. Anyone have similar experience?

    "Glass" yellowish/murky

    ^^^^^^ I believe polishing away the discolored layer or completely replacing the part are your only options. (short of replacing the entire camera.)

    Notes from the Swamp

    When I look at these vids I always think of the Disney Jungle Cruise. Add a couple of animatronic features to your resident leathery neighbors and you will have nailed it! Maybe you and the missus could dress like the JC guides for your human neighbors and passers by?

    Dahua vs Luminys differences: 100% rebranded or more like 85%?

    Perhaps installers should at least be able to fulfill the requests of customers that may request Ubiquiti. It seems to me that they are at least partly, marketing themselves as the high-end alternative to the big box brands. You know, branding... blah, blah, blah.

    Attach flat black panels, plastic or whatever you like, to the sides of the light fixture to control the light pattern. ("Barn doors" and "flags" are used on professional lighting equipment.)
