    Cant get IVS to trigger.

    On mine I found sometimes if the IVS trip lines are too short, they wouldn't trip.

    Yep, same here. Normally run a separate IR because of moths and spiders.

    Common issues with camera image

    Question about newer Dahua cameras...seem they are placing the IR light behind the same glass as the lens on some cameras. One I recently bought had a washed out image with the IR on. Has anybody noticed this?

    Epoe trench 750ft long

    I'm okay. Been dealing with an errant step son. Most recently working on the differential of my truck. The cameras on the trench are working well. The cheap plastic mail boxes I used are protecting them. One camera trained on our remote mail box actually caught a pair of thieves that stole...

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    No, for me at 63 yrs changing the power supply fan was enough. The case fan just makes a blowing air sound, not like the siren noise of the power supply fan.

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    Bought the Noctura fan and installed. Upside down but I don't think it matters. It's so quiet I had to see if it was spinning. Had to cut more of the cable off (2 ") and not use the universal connector. I couldn't get all the wire length stuffed in.

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    Try cutting the mesh off with small metal wire cutters and bending back the tips around the edge.

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    On my Dahua 5216-16P-4k2 I used small metal snips to cut out the metal mesh over the power supply fan in the back, without removing the cover or anything else. It took the siren noise away..now just loud air flow. Don't have cats or kids in the house

    NVRs: Check your intake grills and power supply intakes for dust!

    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4ks2 Checked mine out why the fan was getting loud..Sheesh.

    Fighting spider webs change from bullet to eyeball?

    Yeah, went to look at video and it wouldn't play. I thought MP4 was the right format, and I had posted an MP4 directly to IPCAMTALK before. Thought it worked.

    Epoe trench 750ft long

    What happened to mine is that it was very sensitive with great sound, but after 6 hours it started humming and had a slight crackling. the replacement worked fine. I'm using a variable power adapter rated max 2.5 Amps.

    Dahua NVR can't add wireless cameras

    On the screen does the camera show anything like "account locked"? Any message for the one not working? Do you have the 150 camera port forwarded in your router with 37777?

    Fighting spider webs change from bullet to eyeball?

    If it works don't bother it. In SC. My eyeball cams have a spider problem. I regularly use a nylon broom and gently brush near the front of the cams (about every 2 nights). Also spray poison around but that doesn't help much long term. The lumps on the strands set my trip wires off, otherwise...

    How to waste an hour on a simple problem + Camera connection.

    How to turn a 1/2 job into 1 1/2 hours. Finally installed on the driveway the B5442-Z4 camera I had been using to take comet videos. Mounting went quickly, connected cable, clicked like it normally does, wouldn't work. The connector was a little hard to click, maybe the waterproofing creme...

    Dahua NVR can't add wireless cameras

    Silly question from me. How many channels is the NVR? Not adding 19 to a 16 channel NVR?

    Thoughts on Physically Locating PoE and CAT6

    Your camera has an IR light built in like most cameras. The only thing is it attracts moths and spiders. If you're using simple IVS trip wires they set the alarm off. Rather new at this myself but usually the IR lights need separate power lines with little 1-2 amp adapters. Look at the Wiki...

    Wireless woes... Looking for constructive discussion.

    I looked up the technical specs..b/g/n only at 2.4 ghz Depending on how far away you have the camera, you might need a signal booster. Watch when it drops out..rain, fog etc?. Or if it is constant enough, unplug other devices that might be competing with the wireless signal. How are you...

    Thoughts on Physically Locating PoE and CAT6

    I would go the route that would allow adding more cameras. You always want more later. If the cameras are outside you really might want to consider separate IR lights. I'm having to clear spider webs and jiggling spiders about once every 2 nights. Dang things are so close it makes it appear as...

    Dahua NVR Push Notifications

    1. Yes - the only issue is that I have to choose each manually. If I'm at home, I have to pick the NVR internal with the 192.168.1.108 address with live view and get it to work if I have been previously using the other away from home (And vice versa). It won't switch automatically. Try...

    Dahua NVR Push Notifications

    See if this helps. It's for android GDmss setup. I had to have 2 different setups on phone. One for at home and one for away from home. The Network examples are the only ones I have enabled on my NVR5216-16P-4ks2. Seems to be mac address for my NVR..I'm looking. ..

    Dahua Cam long distance question

    I got it to working. Went under the doublewide and installed 2 Cat6 cables, one for the NVR, one for the EPOE switch. Hooked them up to my normal router. Had to change IP address of 2 cameras to from 10.1.1.xx to 192.168.1.150 and 151. Then added them manually to NVR remote list. Works now.

    Dahua Cam long distance question

    It is the PFL2106-4ET-96 Dahua brand. I might have it hooked up wrong. Got a 5216-16P-4ks2 Dahua NVR. The switch is connected to one of the NVR's POE ethernet ports, not the internet port. It might be that the port only allows one camera. If I change cameras with only 1 connected, that camera...

    Dahua Cam long distance question

    I have a post where I am using an 4 port EPOE switch for 750 ft distant camera. Works fine. I am having a problem with putting a 2nd camera on the switch. Have had it before and all I did was pull the power plug to the switch and restart it, and the 2nd cam came up. Back then it worked. The...

    Epoe trench 750ft long

    Even though it was 3 weeks over time I chatted with Amazon and they are sending a replacement. I thought I would need to send the old one in but never got an RMA email, the mic just popped up on Amazon as a $0.00 order for a new mic. You can't beat that kind of service. Probably value of a...
