the Imou first version PT (Cruiser4MP) won’t allow access to GUI settings (Port-80), but not sure if new model will. Better stay away, but if PT is your requirement, consider Dahua PT (5MP) DH-SD2A500HB-GN-AW-PV-S2

Dahua is my only brand, but when inexpensive wireless devices are required, Imou is my first choice. That includes the 4MP PT Cruiser (V1) and 2MP Turret (V1). Testing the Dahua 5MP PT A500, it surpasses both in terms of detection. The Dahua include the “IVS Smart Plan” (not sure about the new...

sorry, just late for work. Heavyopp will notice. Read about yours, very interesting

yes, understand turning off the led will solve the issue. Keep us posted on your progress, is an interesting design

Would it helps keeping out the wasp? The high humidity in this side of the property, for what It looks like rain, are insects flying around the lens reflection. It activate the detection signal during nighttime. Is a cheapie Imou turret.

port forward not recommended, but in that case, call PTCL tech support. They should be able to assist, either connecting remotely or at their side

Read in another forum that Dahua already sold Imou, an as a separate Company (Imou), an it will no longer be supported (Onvif will be the only option). If that is the case, DMSS should not work. I understand Dahua is already promoting it’s wireless series (aka Imou style), approaching the same...

Important to consider. If drilling through the wall, remember to add silicone around the “pass-through” cable, also around the outside junction box to seal all surrounding.

If cabling could be an issue, depending on the location of the existing network 1-gang boxes (normally horizontally installed at 18” above floor level), my proposal will be installing the camera on a “back-to-back”, while using the existing data cable for poe/data. You may still add switches and...

Nice house. It looks like the walls are in cement (?). If that is the case, how you plan to “run” the cameras cables (CAT6)? Do your house include a centralized box (hub), to “run” all data/cable distribution for different areas? If included, please comment. The garage (upper right side) include...

Found even cheaper at Temu (free shipping), two pieces for the price of one. The mounting screws are perpendicular to the door kicking force, making it more secure. You may install two (mid-high/mid-low) for stronger resistant...

Inexpensive door security lock. Anyone tested? https://www.amazon.com/Security-Childproof-Reinforcement-Withstand-Swinging/dp/B07DR9CMGZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=security+door+locks&qid=1693701888&sr=8-3 https://youtube.com/shorts/5N3jQIV5_iA?si=H6y0g7ChHuvqydIQ

i understand you already tried a different input in your Samsung tv. To determine the assigned ip of the nvr, you may download the ip config tool https://dahuawiki.com/ConfigTool

get a Viper car alarm, add proximity sensors https://www.amazon.com/Directed-Install-essentials-Motion-Sensor/dp/B0009VFOME

Probably the glare/reflection from the angled screen, will affect any external recording method you may consider. I understand your best option is trying to extract the video signal directly from the internal video boards, as commented by biggen. Check if a service manual is available for your...
