It's connecting now when looking for updates but it lost my renewal info apparently and immediately put me into evaluation mode. I looked up my renewal key, put that in, and it worked but it's strange because it's now showing my activation date as today instead of last April when I actually...

All true. I was just throwing out suggestions if there was a need for higher quality. I don't know what type of compression a phone uses for their videos. H.264 or H.265? Are they worried about optimizing it for network bandwidth like a surveillance camera would? I don't know. But I hear what...

I have a hunch that if anyone had oodles of storage available and wanted the best footage available, with the least amount of compression artifacts, they're probably using some type of bespoke setup, maybe even analog instead of IP cameras and doing the A/D conversion on something besides the...

Ditto, this camera and all my others stream fine to Android using the web UI (which is good, since that's how I aim the camera during install). I don't know if it matters but on my Android (v9) I'm using Chrome, not the native browser.

Fortunately I haven't had any issues like this. I've got that same 2023-02-27 firmware. I'm just using the adaptive scene. On all my other cameras I have day/night settings and use a script to switch them at sunrise/sunset (my own home-rolled, but basically the same as the sunrise/sunset script...

Yeah, I'm walking the OID tree again to see what else. I only skimmed it before. I added CPU monitoring to my PRTG setup and missed the fact that on the end of that OID, there's an index value of ".0". It's only got the one CPU but the indexes mean it could support stats for multiple CPUs... I...

Replying to myself... I found this: DAHUA-SNMP-MIB: View SNMP OID List / Download MIB It lists the Dahua enterprise there and has a button to download the MIB. I pulled that MIB into my browser and walked it. I'm trying to think if there's anything terribly interesting in there... This one...

I used an SNMP walker and it has the normal OIDs for network devices, so it has that at least. Since I was toying with it yesterday I added a monitor for the network traffic just to see. I haven't done that on any of my other cameras so it's not a good comparison, and also, I have this cam setup...

The answer is yes, it does support the standard SNMP "uptime" OID. I think it's this: ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3" aka ".iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime" and the value is in ticks of hundredths of a second. I just rebooted the cam and confirmed it's currently showing 10 minutes of uptime...

I'd suggest checking the logs on the camera, but I just looked at mine and although I know for sure I was having PoE issues initially, I don't see any log messages around that time (just a ton of messages about setting time via NTP - I should really see if I can limit that to once or twice a...

I wanted to share my own experience with the camera, and your post was a good intro to that. I got mine last week and managed to set it up over the weekend. The way it's wired up, I have about 75-100' of pretty decent Cat6, outdoor rated, going to a weatherproof box that holds a little power...

FYI, now that I finally got around to looking at a newer version of the API (version 2.89) I noticed a couple of things: 1) "VideoInMode" is not listed in the document... at all. Weird. It still works on my 2.x firmware Dahua cameras, but the API doesn't mention it 2) "VideoInOptions" has a...

Thanks for at least that 2.89 API that was posted. I realized the latest Dahua API document I had was 1.67 from 2015. It worked for my needs (changing profiles, rebooting) but if I did need to pull or set any of the newer things, this will come in handy. I might be interested in the 3.0 API but...

I've been following this thread with interest. I'm on the verge of ordering one of the Dahua models, but the funky aspect ratio might bother me. I feel like the firmware could just stretch it out horizontally to get rid of the anamorphic squishing that's happening. If I did get one, I was...

I realize I'm replying to a SUPER old post, but I had a need to do this very thing. I have an old Reolink 423 that flakes out every time Blue Iris restarts the service. The camera itself is fine, but if Blue Iris restarts, that camera will not show anything. If I reboot the camera, boom, all is...
