Wow, this is great y'all! I haven't read 1/2 these links yet, but going to bed & waking up to this is awesome! I really appreciate the suggestions! I'm sure I'll have followups after digesting...

Hi AP514, In my head, i haven't found a valid way to do anything but mount a camera in a window sill, but can you walk me through how a bird house mod would work? There's no way i could mount a cubic-foot box directly to the house without a letter. So, If I had to mount it on a tree in the...

Hi Mat, Yea, the less said about HOA's the better...It's such a privilege to pay to be inconvenienced in my own home. /s But what I've found, by removing the front cover of the HDW2431 is, I gain a not-insignificant extra few degrees coverage of my driveway. While most days I'll be fine parking...

Hello all, I'm looking for a IP PoE camera to watch my driveway, but with a kind of annoying twist. See my attached masterpiece for help visualizing... I can't mount anything on the exterior of the building (thanks, HOA) so that leaves me the thought of putting something inside my window sill...

Ok, I'll bite. My oldest environment using FTP vs NAS/NVR has had 2x 4300 series running FTP recording for just about 3 years now. It's never skipped a beat and the drive it gets recorded to gets swapped out easily for historical archives sans management headaches/concerns/care. (meaning zero...

Interesting, because I have the exact opposite results. 4 Firefox tabs with streams open on i7-4790 is 25% CPU, Same 4 streams ported into SPSS on i7-6700 is 34% CPU. and no, not a thread, overall CPU utilization.

This is amazing information i don't have elsewhere. Thanks for this. For Small environments, do you like v2 or v1.16 better? If not everything in 2 has made it across, is there a list of things I'd be missing? Indeed, clients are fun to work with sometimes, but I'm not quite able to get a new...

Really?! AWESOME!!! downloading now. This is great news! P.S. Why are they still keeping up with the 1.X line? i.e. what's the difference between 1.16 and 2.00? Software

SmartPSS destroys old CPUs for me. I'm running a 4 camera feed into a i7-6700 and it's eating ~35% CPU while active. Again, old hardware, but SmartPSS sucks for this particular environment. Most of these ~<$100 cameras don't have local storage, and then NAS vs FTP is 6 vs six IMHO.

To follow up though, Smart PSS 1.15.0 Built Date: [sic] 2016-10-11 Can't handle PTZ transitioning from split to umm..non-split view? So, while >1 split view with >=1 PTZ, you can keep & maintain PTZ control (and by PTZ control I mean that mouse-enabled zoom function) while 'activating" any of...

Wow, that escalated quickly. There's no Koolaid to drink. Find me any other solution with a $0 cost add that can be run off a PIII 500Mhz and smart phone. You can't. That's the project goals for this environment. I didn't make the rules, but I can easily come up with a winning solution for them...

Eh, I disagree with your view on FTP. It's an old protocol, but still works just fine. Feel free to tack on S or Sftp, and it's just as good as anything else out there for my money. FTP hasn't changed drastically in decades, so SHOULD be something anything and its brother can understand and it's...

My current (and default) settings are Disk full>overwrite, but neither that or the alternate "stop" makes any difference. Filezilla seems to acknowledge this well enough, as that's just a 202 (superfluous). You're probably right though with the 4300's, where they're old enough to not even...

Hey Nayr, Thanks for the quick reply! I assume you're talking on Filezilla, in which case, unlimited user connect limit, and I've tried giving it its own user (camera2) as well as running it under the 3x shared "camera" user. Nothing makes a difference. Near as I can tell, the actual...

Hello all, I've got an IPC-HDW4431C-A (4MP 3.6MM Fixed focal Dome with Audio) that I'm working with. I don't have an NVR, and am instead using FTP as storage for the device. I use this concept on plenty of IPC-HDW4300 (S and/or C models) without issues, but this one is giving me a little...

Yea, i don't mean to hijack the thread. I just really wanted to get your attention, and was hoping your very impressive work with the firmware might get me a quick "yea, sure, that's easy". But yea, I've reinstalled the plugins a lot, and in different browers and orders and I haven't found a...

Wow, you guys are awesome at this! I'm hoping you can help out a fellow Dahua owner since Dahua NA support really isn't getting me anywhere. I've got 4 different Dahua IPC cameras in my environment, and never before have I had trouble viewing them all in firefox until this latest round when I...
