    RTMP STREAM to YouTube outdoor CCTV

    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 WiFi over Imou Series

    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...

    Dahua will no longer support Imou?

    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...

    Security Camera Locations? (With house pics)

    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.

    Security Camera Locations? (With house pics)

    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...

    Security Camera Locations? (With house pics)

    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...

    "We're here to check the air filters .. "

    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...

    Cameras for viewing screens

    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...

    Drive-by shooting!

    it looks like the PFA-730 is unique for that mini-ptz. Regarding the mounts, the width is about the same (159mm vs 155mm), but the bolt pattern may not fit.

    Linking Dahua Wireless Alarm Hub to Dahua NVR

    Quite interesting system. Did the hub allows you to control your alarm and receive notifications remotely, or it requires a central monitoring service (paid) to work? Dahua is marketing a cloud based system to interconnect their ecosystem, everything controlled or interconnected via software. I...

    I need to secure construction site. Is my idea reasonable?

    Sounds good your temporary cameras/bridge proposal. I will also concern about security. Where you plan to install the cameras? How safe is the construction site to include all the electronics? Will it be mounted on a single point, maybe in a pole covering about 270’ angle or to be distributed...

    Wanted - a car alarm for people who refuse to lock their doors

    Agree with all previous suggestions. As an example, I will consider the same deterrent approach used on residential installations while detecting movement in the patio, turning ON smart switches in sequential/timely order (kitchen>5sec>hallway>10sec>terrace>5sec, etc.). For a vehicle, installing...

    Dahua intercom add external keypad

    not sure about this particular intercom, but if the door latch is energized at all time (fail-safe), is a matter of connecting the keypad in series (NC/COM) with that electric lock power source (opening the garden door keypad relay will cut the power) edit: if fail-secure type lock, just...

    Alarm input for missing power?

    Is basically contact closures interfaces (NO/NC) for both Input/Output connectors. Just do not exceed the amps rating, specially while using the Output pin (controlling a siren, strobe, light). It is normally about 1 amp DC, but you may add an external relay for higher currents. But using the...

    Alarm input for missing power?

    As long as not exceeding the coil current, should be no problem. It also applies to keeping the power pack connected at all times. It is a matter of connecting the N.C. Relay output (is open while energized) while connecting directly to the N.O. Input (NVR default). To confirm the operation...

    Alarm input for missing power?

    Not sure about your particular model, but should apply as well. There is an “alarm input”, able to handle your “power pack” voltage. Connect the power pack to your “surge” UPS outlet. Just connect the + terminal to selected input (remember to include in your settings), while the - terminal to...

    Alarm input for missing power?

    If you plug a 120Vac relay directly to “surge only” output of the UPS, the relay will change state during power failure. Likewise, use the relay contacts to interface your NVR Edit: understand your approach to use the power adapter will work as well, probably no need for a separate relay...
