Pretty sad. I have 18 dahua, 2 hikvision cams and most I have hell with continuous sd card recording. I have 6 wyze cams that have no sd card issues after 2 years. Given, the data transfer rate is likely much higher with the high resolution dahua cameras, but they should bump up processor power...

It would simplify things a bunch of you could reassign static ip addresses to those two cameras within the same subnet, and then manually configure port forwarding in your router for the http port of the camera.. that's the way i usually do it, but I'm sure someone more experienced here will...

Let me know if you try them, and if they perform any better. I usually give them about 6 months use before I make a judgment. Usually that's long enough to have a failure or two. I'm just wondering if the blame is the cards, or could the cameras own read write system be causing the errors? I...

I've found a new card to try, specifically for surveillance cameras. Although I'm currently using SanDisk cards designed for the same purpose, I've always used WD purple drives in my NVR. maybe their sd cards will perform too. Here's a link so you can read the specs...

I've been having these issues for years. I've tried the most recommended cards, I've tried the most durable "continuous write" capable cards, but they all eventually just stop recording. The cards then cannot be accessed until formatted. I have cards in multiple PTZ's, turrets, and bullet...

I shut mine off a week after installing it. I was getting better footage with stationary wide angle. Auto track was not only losing the target, but scanning far beyond the area I had intended to monitor. I have one that worked pretty well out of four, but I just gave up after adjustments weren't...

The auto tracking is all done within the cameras software onboard, and as far as I know, it's either on or off, and controlled through the cameras local GUI, using it's assigned web address. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I do like the thought of being able to speak to employees.. but never had much luck with two way audio on dahua cameras. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I think only HNI models support auto tracking. I don't think HNR support auto tracking. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

There are very cheap add on microphones out there, but the annoying thing is they need they're own 12vdc power supply. I don't understand why they produce these cameras with line in audio, but don't provide a dc output to power the mic. It would be such a simple thing to add. Sent from my...

That was a good suggestion. I had forgotten that I have noise reduction turned off on all my cameras, mic volume set at 100. But you mentioned that you only hear fuzz, or I'm assuming you meant white noise. The only thing I could guess is your source wasn't saved as internal mic, but maybe line...

Yes, you should be able to hear audio thru either the monitor connected to your NVR, or through the mobile app. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

That model doesn't come up as a valid model Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Oh, your audio has to be enabled in the NVR settings as well for each individual camera. Kevin Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The audio is carried over the ethernet cable as well. If you have it enabled on your camera's settings, volume up high enough, and you still can't hear, check if your camera has built in mic or requires an external microphone. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
