    Is Current 4K-T & 4K-X Inventory "-S1" or "S2"?

    Thanks. Question is not related to Spring Lottery/Sale promotion. Just trying to understand what I would receive if I bought something right now. The posted specs point to "S1" AFAIK. So to rephrase: "Would I get an "-S1" or "-S2" if I purchased a camera today?

    Recommended Dahua for remote 4G/5G location, possible solar power only

    Not a direct answer to your question but hopefully helpful. For years I ran a pair of Foscam G4(?) WiFi off of a 100Ah battery, 180W panel with a Victron controller. I replaced the cameras' tiny WiFi antennae with Yagis pointing directly to WiFi AP. One was about 80ft clear LOS. The other was...

    Color4K-T180 Two-Way Talk Synology Surveillance Station

    Purely speculation, but "https" vs "http" setup in synology may be necessary.

    It's difficult for me to be certain, but I think Andy may be selling this one: PTZ1A225-HNR-GB - Dahua International

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    All Generic Dahua. I recently tested my Summer Lottery win (ZE/S3 - Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY!). Synology recognized it as the correct camera type but something was a little off or maybe just not to my liking (sorry - can't recall). I deleted the entry and added manually as generic.

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    By no means trying to be a Synology fan-boy ... Animal detection is working great for me on several S3/S2 (ZE, Z4, and Z12) cameras. I had been recording everything in H265 but now record everything in H264 due to simple DL & playback on Windows. I agree camera detection (IVS favored over SMD)...

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    I recommend: 1.Select "Generic Dahua" when adding the camera to Synology. Do a complete setup (vs. quick). 2. Configure basics through Synology interface (channels, frame rates, etc.). Note that Synology "remembers" applied settings. If you change a parameter later through the Web UI (e.g...

    How to tell camera model?

    One of my camera's "deviceType" got whacked in a firmware update, but the "updateSerial" is good. Using the command provided above: deviceType=IPC hardwareVersion=1.00 processor=AX620D serialNumber=9E09E25nunya updateSerial=IPC-HFW5442E-ZE-0832 updateSerialCloudUpgrade=IPC-HFW5442E-ZE-0832...

    EmpireTech latest New firmware, Device Guide video, Manual WEB5.0

    I have the same question. Something seems a little off and no firm guidance here so I have stayed with Dahua builds for now. I just updated from V2.840.0000000.25.R.230425 to V2.840.0000000.27.R.240322 - so far, so good. The Dahua zip contains 3 binaries. I only flashed the first and there is...
