    Dahua 8MP Lite model cameras with 8MP 1/2.7" and 4MP 1/3" sensors labeled as "starlight" models. September 2020

    So no more cameras with 1/1.8"? The sensor size was one of the key points of my decision making process on which cameras to purchase. The current camera selection has smaller sensors but somehow some claim better performance numbers??

    Firmware update issues

    @Rmac1122 Just out of curiosity, which firmware did you receive for the 1831E?

    HFW-1831E - what really *is* the latest firmware (and do we care...)?

    OK, thanks @Hazza06 and @pozzello I got it, all my 1831's show hardware version 1.00 and processor of DH7200 also. Since I didn't see any issues when at 2.6, I never bothered with H.265 at that time either.

    HFW-1831E - what really *is* the latest firmware (and do we care...)?

    Can you teach me how to do this? I don't have any knowledge on this. My cameras are connected to a POE switch, with just standard 192.168.x.x static IP addresses.

    HFW-1831E - what really *is* the latest firmware (and do we care...)?

    That's strange, mine are the opposite. If I have the settings on 8MP at H.264, at 2x fps I get the i-frame pulse bad. If I match fps and i-frame is even worse. The best I can get is to get the pulse tolerable is 6MP at 6MB/s, the fps doesn't matter. If I run 8MP, I get the pulse using...

    HFW-1831E - what really *is* the latest firmware (and do we care...)?

    Interesting. Where did you disable motion detect? I may do this also. I have Blue Iris doing the motion detect (on the substream), not from the camera input. I have constant record of the main stream to other NVR software. Another interesting thing I figured out recently, ever since moving...

    4K starlight Series Firmware Update 20190404

    Thanks for the info. I wasn't able to use any 2.6 series once going to 2.8, tried 20(2)00107 but saw no difference and also reverted back to 190404.

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    OK, it's still not definite whether the issue is the cameras or the NVR. It is statistically unlikely all the cameras have an issue unless something wrong with the firmware. Either way, I was hoping more diagnosis revealed a solution that held. I understand you naturally want to the system to...

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    A factory reset should trigger the setup wizard, just like when you first started the system.

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    If your system is a standalone system, then a factory reset would probably be the next logical step. The factory reset option is under the system tab in the NVR.

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    The QC826 product information indicates all 16 ports are POE.

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    Do you have your cameras connected to a power supply? There's only 2 ways to get power to the camera, either the power plug or POE, so if you're getting access to the camera, it's one or the other. I'm unaware of any router that has POE ports, so yes, that would seem strange if you have a...

    A word of caution also, firmware updates do not always make things better.

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    Looks like there may be firmware updates for the cameras also. You may consider lowering the framerate to 15, and maybe the resolution in non-critical areas. 8 4k cameras at 30fps is a lot, I don't care what the NVR specs say, that's a lot for any NVR or system to process.

    If you bought it in 2018 there is a firmware on the website that is dated 2019.

    Sporadic "Can not find the network host" for all cameras on QC826

    Are you using H.264 or H.265? What are your bitrate settings? I started with a bundled Q-See system a few years ago. When I see that message, I found it meant the cameras were exceeding the capabilities of the NVR. See if your issue occurs when you have less cameras connected. You should also...

    Recommendation for WiFi interior mounted window cam not for security purposes

    Last I checked the Logitech Circle 2 (spiritual successor to the Alert cameras) was a closed system and would not allow access to a RTSP stream. You shouldn't run IR behind a window. If you have any light in the area you want to monitor you may consider a Hikvision DS-2CD2442FWD-IW. It can...

    Camera dropped off the network - what's left apart from a faulty cam?

    You have the camera connected to a POE switch, then that switch connected to another switch, which is connected to a mesh node, then connected to your router? Sounds like you should start eliminating some of these middle-men network devices. Consider starting with eliminating the node, leaving...

    4K starlight Series Firmware Update 20190404

    Well not on my 1831's. I went from 2.622 to the 2.8 series and regretted it since. The failure message I get is in one of my other multple posts looking for solutions to the issues I was experiencing, but I have only been able to move up in version, never backwards, even on the 2.8 series. I...

    4K starlight Series Firmware Update 20190404

    @stevob7, I've tried moving HFW1831E from 2.8 series back to 2.6 series, it did not work for me and I get a blocking message and failure. If you get it to work, please post back with how you did this.

    Ethernet to camera connection cover

    I haven't ordered any yet, but you can take a look at these. The only concern I would have would be the plastic locking tab on the cable plug, it is pressed down when inserting, but it would be depressed if you needed to remove the cable from the connector cap, so the tab may catch and not...

    NVR stream and camera setting H.265

    Thank you very much for confirming my question!

    NVR stream and camera setting H.265

    I'm not sure this is the best way to explain my question... I have cameras powered by a POE switch. The cameras are currently set to H.264H. I want to switch the cameras to H.265. If I have a H.265 NVR, connect the cameras via the IP address to the NVR, and then I want to pull a stream via...

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    Funny thing, I know it's not a direct comparison, but since rebranding manfacturers usually lag behind in firmware updates, I used this to my advantage and I bought an Amcrest 2597 (rebranded 1831) for testing purposes, which, as I hoped, came with 2.622 firmware. I put it in place of one of my...

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    Yeah, I would have immediately gone back to 2.622 if I could, even if there was some disclaimer I needed to accept any risk of going back to a previous firmware. Literally, everything was working perfect. Nothing changed (it didn't need to), until 2.8. You can only imagine the problems caused...

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    I had the 190404, then updated to the 200107 because there was no difference in bitrate. I'm pretty sure I even tried going back to 190404 based on some feedback from KCO, but got the message saying failed due to older version.

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    Tried that too. Got a newer version of a 2.6 series but was unable to load it because once the 2.8 series is installed you can't go back. The only option available was to move forward in the 2.8 series. Nothing has changed so far. Even if I bought new cameras they would have the 2.8 series.

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    I had already done the conversion, and the BI bitrate reading matched what I was seeing in the task manager or any other program where I can see the camera bitrate reported. I did check the ROI enable/disable to see if that was able to control the bitrate and that also made no difference.

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    This is actually an issue that I've been having for some time but the first time another person has posted any confirmation of the same issue. I have 3 cameras, one on the original 2.622, the other two upgraded to the 2.8 firmware series. All the cameras ran flawlessly on the original 2.622...

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    Yes, this is only one camera accessed via the web interface. I had installed SmartPSS only for confirmation, and the bandwidth is just as high, as well as the bitrate reading in Blue Iris status for this camera.
