The Dahua VTO2111D_WP is a WiFi/PoE enabled doorbell cam that works with Blue Iris. It has several critical failures though: 1) firmware support is non-existant 2) app is also outdated and low on features 3) requires DC power if you're connecting via doorbell wiring, which means you'll have to...

Sure, but if the WiFi access point is kept in the same spot, and after some days the camera slows down, and then doing nothing but restarting the camera fixes the slowdown, the cause must lie with the camera. It actually surprises me that the last major firmware update for this cam is...

I also initially blamed my WiFi. I do believe this is a genuine software (firmware) bug though. I am finding I have to reboot the LAView doorbell cam on a weekly basis because of this behavior. As a test case, I have another Hikvision cube cam (a DS-2CD2442FWD-IW) also on WiFi at almost exactly...

Has anyone else seen behavior with this cam where the video comes in very delayed and the web interface becomes very slow, after a few days of running? Restarting the camera always fixes the delay and makes the web interface respond normally again. I am running the most recent firmware.

Do you have direct to disc enabled?

FYI, even a 6700 non-K with 16gb of RAM will run Blue Iris and 20 cameras with ease, with or without QuickSync.

You and the guy who did this with a AMD Threadripper 1950X need to start a club together: buying the most expensive processor that is also among the least efficient ways to run Blue Iris, club! Short answer is no, that processor lacks Intel QuickSync, which when it works correctly lets you...

Ok, flashed the bootloader and it flashed fine - camera isn't dead. But, after having run all of these commands successfully with valid firmware, camera still doesn't boot :( run da run dr run dk run du run dw run dc I still have not figured out how to successfully run "run dp". I thought...

Ok, here is what I've just done: Ran the following commands using the official firmware from Dahua Wiki: run dr run dk run du run dw tftp 0x82000000 pd-x.cramfs.img; flwrite run dc With all successful writes and success.txt as the output. Notice I did not run "run dp", because that command...

I don't have a serial cable, but I'd be open to buying one since I see they're like $10 on Amazon for a CP2102. Are you asking if I have tried using "run da" to load the bootloader? I have not done this (mostly because everyone says "don't flash the bootloader unless you REALLY NEED TO"). Is...

Also, one thing I've noticed is that the bootloader on the firmware I linked above (2017-08-03) is DEFINITELY different than the official 2017-04-14 from Dahua Wiki. Could it be that the bootloader is incompatible with the lower firmware which is preventing the cam from starting? I have not...

I bought it on Ebay back in December from a seller based in China, which is why I thought the cam might be China firmware hacked to English. I flashed the firmware through ConfigTool v3 from the Dahua Wiki. It did not give any errors while flashing, and it completed successfully and gave the...

Thank you very much for helping me troubleshoot. When I run Console.bat, the window never populates with anything except for this: Ncat: Version 7.40 ( Ncat - Netcat for the 21st Century ) Ncat: Listening on 192.168.254.254:5002 I think I read that in some firmwares the bootloader isn't...

Hello all, My VTO2111D-WP bricked during a firmware update and won't come back. It can't be seen by ConfigTool on port 3800, nor is port 23 or any other port accessible. It won't even respond to pings. Here are the steps I have taken to try and fix it: 1. Followed all instructions in the...

At another forum user’s request, here are some videos of the footage you get from this cam, both at night and during the day in a backlit situation. Footage while front lit is also very good (the cam faces due East and catches direct sun every morning), but obviously less contrasty and with more...
