    Dahua NVR: I record 24/7 and recently set up and IVS tripwire. Where can I see the tripwire flags in the video?

    The tripwire is working and is emailing me snapshots of who came in the driveway. Now I'd like to be able to see the flagged spots in the actual video but I don't know where to do that at.

    Can I have my Dahua NVR send me a picture when motion is detected?

    I finally got the email notification set up after a couple of hours of dinking around. I clicked the snapshot box thinking that it would send me the snapshot but after looking into it furth it appears that it only saves a snapshot on the NVR which isn't what I'm looking for. Is it possible to...

    Is there a way to keep the Dahua web interface from timeing out?

    I like to keep the feed up on my computer but it's automatic timeout is frustrating to say the least. Is there a way to disable this or increase it so much that it's not an issue?

    Dahua camera dropped out and I can't get it back

    It was working fine for a week or two and then it cut out. It appears that I can ping it's ip address but it doesn't show up on the NVR. I've unplugged it's ethernet cable a couple times but that didn't work. This stuff is not my speciality so I don't know where to go next.

    What should I do with the extra pigtails?

    I'm mounting my new Dahua starlights and I want to run the wires externally i.e. not drilling a hole through the center of the mount to run them directly through the wall. What is the best practice to wrangle the extra pigtails in a clean and weatherproof fashion? Part of me just wants to cut...

    How to adjust the pan on the Dahua starlight bullet cams?

    I hope that this is a stupid question and I'm missing something obvious but I'm working on installing my awesome new starlight bullet cams and I can't see how to manually adjust the pan of the camera. There is a collar that allows it to tilt but it keeps it from panning. Please tell me I...

    Setting up my new Dahua system and I can't see the cameras on the network

    I made an earnest attempt at figuring this out myself but I'm getting nowhere and I'm not sure which path to take. I've got a completely new system consisting of... NVR NVR5432 Switch PFS3110-8P-96 Cameras IPC-HFW8232E-Z Network Layout as I understood it should be from a discussion with...

    Good source for Dahua NVR setup tutorials?

    I'm going to start puting my system together tomorrow and I can't find a good tutorial to setup my new Dahua NVR. Could anyone point me in the right direction? i.e. how to pick the right ip address, how to set the right ip address, how to add cameras .etc... Thanks everyone.

    Could someone who knows what they're doing looking over my wiring "schematic"?

    I got an awesome new Dahua system from Andy and I'm hoping one of you generous souls could look over my plan to see if I'm correct. I'm hoping this works so I don't have to run new line between the house and the shop. Thank you all.

    How do I get the best possible live video feed?

    I'm setting up a 10 camera system with the Dahua Ultra 2MP Starlights. I want to have the best possible live feed through an on site 4K tv. I've read hints on this site about issues that can arise that can affect this but not enough info for me to be comfortable not messing it up. Any help is...

    Can I run two POE switches to an NVR?

    I want to connect an NVR to my TV and to make wiring easier I'd like to run my shop cameras to one switch and my house cameras to another switch. Then only bring two wires (one from each switch) into the house to the NVR. Can I do this? If so, will any NVR work or does it need a specific...

    I've settled on the 2MP Dahua Starlights but I'm not sure about lenses...

    Would this be adequate information for anyone to give me suggestions. The interior cameras show max distances and the exterior distances show the max distance I'm worried about viewing. Not sure if this helps but it's the best I could come up with. Thank you all.

    what's the best route for a powerful system that I won't have to fight?

    I've currently got a cheap zmodo setup that I'm always fighting with it dropping cameras. I'm putting together a better system with the goal being that I don't have to babysit the thing to keep it working. I'm interested in going the PC + Blue Iris route as it comes highly recommended here but...
