    New Dahua camera upgrades / Eufy

    I am currently looking at N85EUN2.. is there a similar model without a heater? I don’t think heat is necessary. This is for weather, correct?

    Ok thank you. What about any that are 8k with a wide view? What are your thoughts on that first model number I mentioned?

    New Dahua camera upgrades / Eufy

    Sorry trying to find these cameras are actually super confusing because of the models. Should I be looking for the 5442 turret? If so what is the model? What about this one? Dahua N85EUN2 8 Megapixel Enhanced Night Color

    New Dahua camera upgrades / Eufy

    I recently saw an ad for a new Eufy NVR system with dual lense 4k camera that has auto face detection and zoom and some nice looking features. It’s making me want to upgrade my Dahua cameras. I have a few cameras that have really nice night color mode. I would ideally like to get them to 4k...

    I hate my Dahua's Motion detection / IVF. Is there anything better?

    What's wrong with port 37777? All of my cameras are hooked up on that port. The cameras are plugged into a switch which gets fed to my NVR box. I dont have a way to go from the cameras to the NVR directly...

    I hate my Dahua's Motion detection / IVF. Is there anything better?

    Thanks for this. I have tried the ZigZag setting before but the reason i turned it off is because that would trigger 20 different notifications whenever the motion is detected. I have since turned it off during the day so the mowers don't drive me crazy but i suppose i can put it back for the...

    I hate my Dahua's Motion detection / IVF. Is there anything better?

    I have spent literal months messing with my Dahua cameras around my house trying to get the tripwire / Intrusion settings to a point where they are actually usable. I've come to the conclusion that Dahua is probably great in a business setting but absolutely terrible from a home security...

    Pausing Dahua IVR tripwire notifications after the first ?

    I have a series of Dahua cameras setup around my house. I am using IVr tripwire to signal notifications on activity. I have the activity turned off before 6pm in case people come to mow the grass, etc. it works fine but at night when I have people over the notifications go crazy. If there are...

    Dahua camera settings keep resetting ??

    This is absolutely driving me crazy. I have a Dahua NVR with 6 cameras. I keep setting the video encoding settings to H264 because I am also using Scrypted to get the video into Homekit. Everything works fine when the settings stay at H264. After a few minutes the settings seem to auto revert...

    IVS not alerting, motion too sensitive.

    Yeah i am figuring this out. The problem is, if i have zigzag lines, i get 30 notifications when someone walks across my yard. I would like to have 1 notification. It seems like smart detection would be better than IVS, but when i have smart detection on, i keep getting told that a human is...

    IVS not alerting, motion too sensitive.

    I just want to be notified whenever someone comes into the area. If i am standing back there literally waving my hand at the device and i get 0 notifications, it seems fairly worthless...

    IVS not alerting, motion too sensitive.

    I have been reading other posts on this board. Do i need to setup IVS to look like this?? Because i basically created 3 rules, one straight line on each side. Mine looks noting like this:
