Has anyone been fiddling with HDD encryption for Video Recorders? I'm looking into encrypting the contents of our HDD's so that the recordings can't be easily accessed by simply retrieving the HDD's. I'm aware of Solutions like Synology, etc. but I'm specifically looking for a solution that...

Are you replying to both the KeepAlive and the TollgateInfo? My two replies are as follows. If you want I can upload my source code. I'm returning these to the camera as Content-type application/json and with the correct Content-length. I first create a variable, e.g. "tollgatereply" and set...

Unfortunately, no. Only the PFA136 and PFA137 fit.

I've only had bad luck with the SmartPSS so far. However, the SmartPSS Lite works flawlessly for me. Maybe give that a try?

If I'm seeing correctly, you're only returning "Result":True You must however return the DeviceID too. e.g. { "Result": true, "DeviceID": "Parking#1" } Keep in mind that both the keepAlive and TollgateInfo must be replied to timely and correctly. Otherwise the camera will keep...

The 437 is basically the same as the 237, difference being 4 Megapixel instead of 2 MP. I did however get better ANPR Results with the 437 due to the increased resolution. As with all ANPR cameras. Finding the right installation spot and finetuning the settings on the web-interface is key to...

In regards to SmartPSS being slow, have you tried the new and updated SmartPSS Lite?

There are several ways that I can think of. If the cameras you're referring to are IP-Cameras, you can use the Dahua DMSS App to receive Push Notifications on your phone. Another alternative would be setting up SMTP on your Camera or Recorder and coupling that with an iPaaS Service like...

Dome cameras are tricky when mounted outside. More so if they're mounted vertical in a non-rainproof spot. You could look into something like the PFA200W, which is a raincover for Dahua Dome cameras. On a sidenote, the camera in your picture appears to be a HDBW3441F-AS-M, which is fine for...

As far as I'm aware, no Dahua camera officially supports Pet/Animal tracking. I'd take a closer look at "IMOU" which is a Dahua joint-venture. Their Ranger 2 support pet tracking and can be integrated in Dahuas NVR Recorders as well. It also supports DMSS, SmartPSS, SmartPSSLite, DSS Pro/Express.

I imagine that this information is only for the actual onscreen overlay (OSD). The direction/speed is not listed under the "Intelligence" Tab and might just not be sent along with the POST-Request. I'll get in touch with Dahua to see if I can get more information for you.

I've tested it with a ITC237 and ITC437 on the most recent firmware. The only information I get is the following. I've removed the DeviceID and base64 encoded pictures to shorten the .json. It does not contain direction or speed. Where does it say it has these abilities? { "Picture": {...

I took the liberty to take this from our documentation. Hope this helps :) But as jarrow has said before me. If you can, use the VPN Method. It's a bit more finicky to set up but safer in the long run. 1.device that integrates only the P2P function. To use UDP hole punch technology for...

This is done on purpose. The camera waits for a reply from the Server to check if the message has been received. This is to make sure that the recipient receives the missing information even after a network/power outage. I wrote a python script that sets up a local http server that allows you...

As far as I was able to confirm this by testing a total of 7 different video recorders. Any recorders starting with "1" don't seem to support multi-stream. NVR starting from 2104 and up support this by specifying max channel + 1 as Jim_OS has pointed out. On XVR's you can use this by simply...
