    Help on SD Card Recording on Dahua Cams

    All my dahua cams act the same way. I set them to reboot daily which helps a little but I experience the same problems as you and like you, I just resorted to my old hikvision NVR.

    Dahua IPC to connect with Hikvision NVR

    I have 3 Hikvision cams and one random brand pinhole Poe cam plugged directly into the hik NVR Poe ports which puts them on the 192.168.254... subnet.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Also have a SD49225T-HN and I'm unable to fetch the focus/zoom settings using the tool (nothing happens and the fields stay blank). Log gives iasyncresult errors. The sunrise sunset switching works fine but I'd like to be able tockeep the two different focus settings for day/night.

    Why so few reviews of Hikvision IP cams and comparisons with Duhua?

    Hikvision are huge here in the UK and I see their cameras in businesses everywhere from McDonalds to being used as ANPR/LPR in car parks etc. The Hikvision cams I have had have been super reliable.

    Various people have been identified and arrested due to the footage from my CCTV cams. The latest was a horrible man who attacked elderly ladies in their homes before robbing them.

    hikvision email testing failed..

    I use an older firmware Hik nvr. I setup an email address for notifications with mail.ru which seems to offer one of the only "less secure" SMTP servers and still works with my nvr without messing about with any other settings (for example with Gmail).
