I see. Very confusing having different models under the same brand. So it's safe to say that the cheap Amazon Dahua I posted is probably one of the aliexpress ones with the hacked firmware that's been imported to post on Amazon?

Why do I get the feeling that the Dahua cameras on Amazon aren't genuine. The model numbers don't match to their website, yet the stated specs match exactly, and the design is close, but not exact. And the price for the model numbers searched from the Dahua site are over 3 times as expensive...

Attached is a clip from the bullet camera. VLC reports it running at 30fps with a content bitrate fluctuating between 6500 and 10000 kb/s. I also looked up Dahua cameras I couldn't find any documentation on their website that says it follows 802.3af/at protocol for PoE. Only "Enhanced" PoE...

Specs for one of the cameras I have is 5MP with a max bitrate of 8192 Kb/s. Says frame rate is 25 FPS. What brand has a better cost/performance? I have until March 27th to request a refund for these if needed. So many other IP cameras seem to not follow the 802.3af/at standard and use some...

I noticed the wiki and did enable Direct to File recording, but didn't notice too much of a CPU drop. I'm seeing about 15-20% CPU load with 2 cameras running. Is that basically just the overhead for the software?

I'll try registering then. I purchased BI, I just haven't registered my install yet since I knew I would be uninstalling and reinstalling the VM a few times onto different machines. Is there a limit to the number of times I can register the product? (It would only be installed on one machine at...

Thanks for the reply's. I have since found that the recordings are actually saved at 30fps. I downloaded a recording and played it on my local machine and it's perfectly smooth. It's the playback directly from the server that is choppy. Is that to be expected? Also, what is the best way to cut...

I'm testing out setting up a security camera system with a new server and am having problems with smooth recording clips and possibly NVDEC not working. System specs follow. PowerEdge r910 running ESXi 6.7 VM running Windows Server 2008 R2 Quad Octo-core Xeons More than enough ram for anything...
