    Sell Custom Lengths of Cat 6?

    UV light, even from indirect sunlight will destroy the cable fairly quickly. Do yourself a favor and run the cable through some conduit to protect the cable from the elements...and critters...even outdoor rated cable is destroyed by UV, UV light is very destructive, not much can survive it in...

    Simple Dahua bullet cam 50mm vari-focal mod longe range zoom

    indeed Dahua do make some very nice and very reputable 50mm+ varifocal IPC, but their not cheap, but they are very good image quality...im looking at the options right now, the DH-SD8A840WA-HNF, expensive ? yes, but totally awesome...Focal Length 5.6mm~223mm 40x optical zoom, 4K 8MP 30fps...

    HFW1831E buy or not?

    i've not had this issue, the live feed from the camera GUI has been stable for me. I rarely use the camera GUI live TV function though, as i view any recordings or live video from the NVR. My IPC-HFW1831E is directly connected to my NVR, and when i first installed / prestaged the IPC, i had it...

    HFW1831E buy or not?

    it's been rock solid in my environment, i'm not using any IVS, so unable to comment on either tripwire or intrusion function... The motion detection is quite good, easily as equally good in function to the current 2831-*-S2 generation motion detection function. i've got a few more IPC to...

    HFW1831E buy or not?

    i have one, running F/W DH_IPC-HX2(1)XXX-Sag_EngSpnFrn_PN_V2.800.0000000.5.R.200107.bin paired with NVR DHI-NVR4216-16P-4KS2 running FW V4.001.0000000.4, Build Date: 2020-07-07 it's been rock solid, best part is it does 30fps @4k 8MP, and when set to VBR on best quality, the bit rate easily...

    Dahua false tampering alarms

    anybody know how to fix the false tampering alarms generated by Dahua IPC-HFW2831T-ZS-S2 ? running latest F/W release V2.800.0000000.15.R the tampering alarms are generated when the IPC switches from IR/night mode to day mode. Other Dahua IPC without SD card slot cover anti-tamper switch...

    Dahua camera accepts 128G micro SD card

    4k IPC VBR rarely exceeded even 6-7 Mbps, i've had no lost data in my IPC-HFW2831T-ZS-S2 VBR writing to class 10 SDXC....and i did say, class 10 or higher....

    did you check if your NVR mainboard has a reset button on it? pressing it and holding it for 5-10 seconds when NVR is powered on, performs a factory default config reset....

    Nvr update

    sorry to hear, i don't use smrtpss ( i don't trust cloud run by Dahua ), i did my initial NVR f/w upgrades via LAN auto check feature during first power on/initialization, which worked, then the 2nd F/W upgrade via http/GUI pointing to local image file provided by Dahua...the admin password...

    water proofing cat7 rj45 connectors/ Dahua junction box/ thick cat7 cables

    Haha, I used cat6 for all my cabling, and connected to the Dahua waterproof tubing, and inside Dahua junction box, ...all snug and installed with zero issues....i already knew cat7 is a waste of time + money, i discounted cat7 long before my IPC install... you do realize that even 4K IPC only...

    WD Red died. Should I get WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk ?

    WD are just so hard to trust after the whole newer RED SMR drive debacle....sooo misleading and fraudulent...design for NAS, yeah my A$$....with much hesitation and consideration, just purchased a couple of 12TB purple drives for NVR....still trying to decide what to buy to replace my aging ( 10...

    water proofing cat7 rj45 connectors/ Dahua junction box/ thick cat7 cables

    only an inexperienced sparky would fail to consider the very well known interoperability / compatibility issues of cat7 physically connecting with cat5/5e/6... CPE, like today's IPC and everything else. I can't see future generations of IPC needing anything more then 100Mbps FDX anyway, even 8K...

    Nvr update

    i've done 2 x F/W updates on my DHI-NVR4216-16P-4KS2 and still have english language....the Dahua web site is hopelessly out of date with firmware, last firmware i received from Dahua directly to address a HDD SMART attribute issue in the http GUI, version V4.001.0000000.4, Build Date...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    interesting that the 2831...-..-S2 has the SSC328Q Mstar SoC, which allegedly does 20fps 4k 8MP, and Dahua appear to have limited the SoC capability to 15fps... star@ubuntu-s01:~$ curl --digest --globoff "http://admin:nicetry@10.0.0.14/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getSystemInfo"...

    Dahua NVR chassis and PSU fans excessively loud

    i doubt it will shorten the PSU life, as i've a number of other devices that actually draw more power than the NVR, with exactly the same PSU, installed the same Noctua fans, and their still going strong 10 years later...i can't complain about that...also the installed NVR HDD SMART temperature...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    As with any vendor, there are always negatives and positives. Having a forum that only discuss positives is useless to the community...of no help at all....I know a whole lot more on video than you think, and to accept 15fps for faster motion scenes is like living in times before video footage...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    firstly i never asked for anything better than prior n-1 generation IPC, that does 25fps 8MP, have you tired to monitor road traffic @15fps? good luck, you gunna miss a sh*te load of video, not rocket science. You'd be better to keep the scope of the discussion to reasonable thoughts, rather...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    Dahua NVR chassis and PSU fans excessively loud

    i recently purchased a DHI-NVR4232-16P-4KS2 and found the chassis and PSU 40mm fans excessively noisy, and unbearable to tolerate in my work/study room. I replaced the chassis fan with Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX 4500RPM 40mm and replaced the PSU fan with the Noctua NF-A4x20 40mm FLX 5000RPM now...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    except the models i've been looking at are not marketed as AI, so no extra burden on SoC for AI cycles. Still doesn't explain the reason for taking away 25fps 4K... IPC-HFW2831T-ZS -> does 25fps 4K, and is now EoL IPC-HFW2831T-ZS-S2 -> is the same model replacement, and does not do 25fps 4k...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    what do Dahua think were are that stupid and didn't notice that the same model earlier generation IPC's did 25fps @4k, then decide to take it away...they really are taking the mickey out of us ...and they think existing Dahua customers would be happy ??

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    i can always understand wanting to be more competitive in the market, driving costs down, with release on new generation IPC, but to drive up their profit margins and to sacrifice big ticket items such as product frame rate, is well, lets just say, pure greed....especially as time goes on, SoC...

    IPC 4k 8MP 25-30fps hard to find - current generations

    i can't understand Dahua's product road-map strategy either, with significant downgrading frame rate, plus EoL'ing the decent earlier generation IPC that do better frame rate, big steps backwards....
