Sorry Chap, that was a stupid statement designed to stir up crap, you seem to know a lot about this subject of crap stirring.

Lol... you guys are no help. :) Okay, one guy had an idea about white noise... Thanks! Let's talk more about countermeasures. Can blind his cam with a laser? R

It has come to my attention very recently that my neighbor has installed a high resolution security camera and it’s pointing directly at my patio and into my garage and my driveway and my front lawn! I now have ZERO privacy in front of my house. I cannot have a conversation without that audio...

What models stand out with those specs?

PeeCee or Mac? What OS version?

I installed Brave and got the same result as all other browsers, no live view. Yet, when I clicked the install extension button, that produced a different behavior. I was able to install an extension for NACL and for Amcrest... I was not able to log into the cam through these extensions. NACL...

I'm not able to see the "Amcrest Web View" extension in the current version of Chrome. I see references to it in 2017. Is it possible that it was removed from the store? I bet if you delete yours you will not be able to reinstall it.

I just upgraded my iMac to macOS 12.6 and now when I launch Smart PSS I have the live view option which was not showing previously. I think I was previously stuck in the Devices section without understanding how to return home. Also, the application seems very sluggish, but this could be Apple's...

i’ve used it before but it was not working today so I deleted the NaCl plug-in and when I went to reinstall it was not available. On further inspection it seems that it’s out of production and no longer being distributed from what I could tell.

Thanks I’ll give that a try I’ve never heard of brave.

what was your process?

What's the Mac option for logging into your Dahua cam (5231 in this case) and seeing a live view of the video? I can login and change any and all settings, just no video preview via Safari, FireFox or Chrome. Thanks, Rob

Why should firmware upgrades be a major time suck (if you do the multi-step approach and the manual config) with the fear of bricking the camera? This seems so ridiculously antiquated. Okay, I get the value quotient but why all the pain and suffering? No other network device that I've worked...

Why does Dahua seemingly not support current operating systems, such as macOS, Win11 etc, from working out of the box with the video stream. Safari should just work without an abandoned 32-bit plugin last updated 5-7 years ago! How are professionals in the field looking at the stream from each...

Is there a clean, native way to stream live video from any DAHUA IP CAM when I'm logged in directly? I have tried Safari, Firefox, and Chrome... Also, Smart PSS and ConfigTool, apps.... no video streaming.... of course I can see video via SecuritySpy but that's it. I feel like I had this...
