    Need advice: 2 Dahua cameras for outdoor garden surveillance

    Quick follow-up on Camera 2, mounted on a downspout and fully exposed to rain. As I understand it, the last bracket in the stack determines the camera orientation: PFA152-E (pole mount bracket) + PFA130-E (waterproof junction box) → camera mounting plate faces sideways PFA152-E (pole mount...

    Need advice: 2 Dahua cameras for outdoor garden surveillance

    Thanks a lot for the recommendation. I have two follow-up questions: Rain exposure for Camera 2: Since Camera 2 will be mounted on the downspout without any roof or overhang protecting it from direct rain, I'd like to confirm whether the recommended turret model is suitable for this kind of...

    Dahua cam for office entrance

    Exaclty! Thank you, I have finally got it working (even in SS). Your detailed instructions also helped me configure it properly. I did that, but then realized that the recording hadn't started. So I enabled both IVS (under AI) and MD/SMD (under events).

    Dahua cam for office entrance

    Thanks for your input. I have reached out to Andy about the camera. He has suggested these two models: IPC-T54IR-AS or IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE.

    Dahua cam for office entrance

    In night vision mode, the image may be B&W, but in daylight or under adequate lighting, it should be in color. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture taken in the dark right now. When the room light is turned on, there's plenty of light. If a thief leaves the light off, it's very dark. But I've...

    Hey everyone!

    I'm from new here and just getting started with IP cameras. My first project is setting up coverage for a small office, and after that I'm planning to tackle home security as well. Still very much a beginner, so I'm here to learn. Greetings from Germany
