    Can someone assist in getting Smart Motion Detection working on my 5442 ?

    I enabled it on the camera's web interface and enabled metadata recording on the camera in Milestone. I also installed the Dahua milestone plugin here https://www.milestonesys.com/marketplace/zhejiang-dahua-technology-co.-ltd/dahua-metadata-plugin-for-milestone-vms/ How do I get this...

    Good stuff. Personally I use Meguiars Ultimate Compound and polish. It's probably similar.

    2431's randomly cut out/reboot

    Maybe you are right. My 5442 also had a reboot. This doesn't really make sense because I'm certain I know how to crimp it right. Done it before many times no issues for regular networking and no disconnects.

    2431's randomly cut out/reboot

    Yes Solid copper. Yes crimped using crimper. Yes 568b. Ethernet cable tester device thingy. Yes waterproof adapters. Also no rain recently when reboot happened on both. I'm certain the cables are fine. For example ping went through but device was rebooting. Oddly only the 4231 did this not my...

    2431's randomly cut out/reboot

    Got 2 of them in 3.6mm and they will reboot or something for a minute. Seems to be random. My other 2 cameras (2385 and 5442) aren't doing this. The wiring is solid, I ran the cat5e and tested it myself. When the cams go down they are pingable but their web interface doesn't load. Actually I...

    REVIEW: Budget 4MP Turret Comparison - IPC-T2431T-AS vs Chinese HDW4433C-A

    Did you buy the cheaper one ? That's the plastic one. Where did you buy it from ?

    Are these two cameras identical in specs? DS-2CD2385G1-I (turret) & DS-2CD2085G1-I (mini-bullet)

    Turret is better. Less spiders. I have 2385. Doesn't need extra accessories.

    security at night is bad

    Sorry buddy. They are too far and with that tree in the way it will blow out the image. Your shutter speed is too slow also for motion. I would change shutter to 1/120 or 1/100 and manually set the IR light to a low number like 10-20% and try that. Even then you won't get face ID on the other...

    If you already started a claim then no going back. Just stick with insurance route then.

    Has anyone tried PoE lighting ?

    Wondering if it's possible to use the power going to one of the cameras and put a splitter and install a small LED light. Something small like say 5-7W (since port maxes out at 15W). Reason for asking is due to poor outside lighting and running another mains would be a lot of work and require...

    What are you even ranting about? It's $181 inc taxes for me. My red is working fine. Probably just a fluke that one died. It happens, drives sometimes die.

    A distracted driver hits the rear of my vehicle.

    That sucks. I'd consider settling privately. At least you are driving a mazda3 not something expensive and it doesn't look THAT bad. Consider a cash offer that covers repairs plus extra because value drop and inconvenience. Oh do report to collision center btw. Insurance here is generally shit...

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

    Fair point but nah someone is always here. For me the setup was just a reaction to my new car getting broken into at night.

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

    Ordered And here I don't even wanna spend $160 on a 4TB lol Tbh I just lowered bitrates on both 2431 to 4Mbps, 5442 to 6mbps and my 8MP 2385 to 8mbps Pretty good quality at 15fps. Gonna just run it like this until my 2nd 3TB Red dies too (assuming it does)

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

    Just 4 cameras about 32mbps combined bitrate. EDIT: Actually just 2 cameras because I had other 2 cameras on other WD 3TB Red so only 14mbps I ordered a 4TB WD Purple. EDIT2: Cancelled order actually I'll just record everything to remaining 3TB Red. Lowered all the bitrates and FPS to 15.
