    Can Dahua automatically fall back to local SD recording?

    I have my Dahua IPC configured to write to a NAS using NFS share, so wondering I should put an SD card in. Can it utilize it as a buffer or fall back to SD card in case of any network issues and then upload to NAS once the network connectivity is restored?

    OK I did reset using the reset button but still the same issue Web interface is not available. Already spent like 2 hours on this crap, had to go dismount the camera. I think that's my last dahua camera. Maybe the're good when whey work but their software is just piece of shit.

    No I didn't. I didn't know I had to. I did firmware updates multiple times and never reset it neither BEFORE nor after the update. The Andy's post also doesn't mention that.

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    Do you know if 5A425XA-HNR and 49225XA-HNR are the same in terms of performance/AI/autotracking capabilities? 5A425XA-HNR is much more expensive so I wonder if there is more than just the sensor/lens

    Amcrest and Dahua

    Just wanted to update here @Wael was able to convert it Quote: The actual Dahua model is an IPC-HDW-4830EM I was able to ascertain this from the HDWID. I used a Serial UART device to do it but I don't see why the other (easy unbricking) method wouldn't work as well given it has the correct...

    Looking for a camera with best video quality

    OP wanted the "BEST video quality" and defined his budget as "not too much" (means nothing really). I think Sony SNC-VB770, AXIS Q1659 are starting points for him, and not Dahua 4mp with crappy sensor and lens

    Looking for a camera with best video quality

    If you're looking for the "Best video quality" I think it's going to be well over $1000, if not $5000 (see Sony SNC-VB770, AXIS Q1659) I wonder if there are any medium format frame cameras (e.g. KAF-50100 based), that will probably be well over $10000-20000 Canon 120MXS sensor also looks...

    How to get SMB NAS recording working?

    I just noticed my Dahua supports both Samba and NFS I had it configured to use NFS but it results in jerky videos and frames missing. So I was thinking may be SMB will perform better but can't make it to work, any ideas how to set it up? The parameters look self-explanatory but It does not work
