    IP Camera not displaying main stream

    it's the same shit as Dahua.. the same architecture, the same SOCs and firmware backbone from HiSilicon, same hardware/firmware limits, the same problems.. simply different names for everything and different UI/UX (menu positions). the biggest difference is how you configure storage for...

    IP Camera not displaying main stream

    because this is very very low-end DVR dedicated for 1080p (2Mpx) analog cams.. you have IP 4Mpx cams... it doesn't have enough decoding capability to decode all cams in full stream to display them... you need something better / higher line.. ps. you can try to decrease frame rate on all cams...

    Why 2 different IR LEDS on the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3?

    Different lens / reflectors.. One give wide beam, second narrow one It’s very good system which allows to configure very uniform IR lighting for full video frame depending of distance from camera to objects / ground and optical zoom level. other models should have this Turret 5442 don’t have...

    Dahua White LED turns on when motion detected?

    if you have WizColor cam (even 2449-PRO) then TIOC-PRO (3449-PRO) will NOT upgrade anything in night video performance.. Sensor and ISP is the same on both cameras.. 5442 will be probably some downgrade for you. 5442 have little better sensor (less noisy), but have much closed aperture (F1.0 on...

    Can WizSense DVR provide human/vehicle detection with regular HDCVI cameras?

    I will give you the same reply as on reddit: Always better performance will be with IP solution only. Especially when done on medium/higher models, not the cheapest ones... Analog DVR solution is only for situation when You have existing analog cameras You DON'T want to upgrade. Modern DVR can...

    Connecting to 2nvrs together through port forwarding on separate networks

    the most secure solution is using some proper PRO routers (like something from unifi catalog UniFi Cloud Gateways - Ubiquiti) and create peer-2-peer VPN between two sites.. if this is not possible, then you must enable access to port 37777 from smaller NVR to bigger one... you can do by port...

    I saw turret version at Dahua demo show and it was plastic one comparing to higher lines.. interesting is that they added back smart illumination without IR to firmware..

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    normal turret 54IR cams have bad not uniform IR with much stronger light in the middle, but your camera is very bad here.. like broken one... bullet 54IR have much better IR, with separate narrow and wide IR's and ability to configure proportion to have almost flat IR... Color4M-T have little...
