    Current camera brand/model of choice (available in europe)?

    @Sokonomi You do know @EMPIRETECANDY / Andy now has a Amazon.de store: Amazon.de A limited number for now, but at least the most popular models for sale now. Hopefully more models and other stuff soon. Also; a few months ago I bought a camera from Andy directly (via email) and shipped to The...

    EmpireTech 7 Years Anniversay Promotion Plan

    Sure we can. Before Amazon started the Dutch Amazon in March 2020, we Dutch had to buy from Amazon Germany, UK, France etc. if we wanted something from Amazon. And we still can, only thing is there might be a small TAX difference between the Netherlands and 'foreign' Amazon websites, but Amazon...

    Improving 5442T-ZE Images, primarily at night

    Following this thread. Been tinkering with a 5442ZE that will go to a family member in due time. Playing with these settings also. Funny thing is, camera was still in day mode but as soon as I changed one setting (even slightly) it went to black/white and never came back to color, and being in...

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    Just an update; in the end they ordered the IPC-HDW5442T-ZE and I have it mounted next to my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, just so I don't have to dial in all the settings at their place. And to see what ~ 5 years of development looks like. I have yet to dial in the settings for the new 4MP (I have to look...

    EmpireTech 7 Years Anniversay Promotion Plan

    Lottery was fun Andy. I put the $20 coupon to good use on a IPC-HDW5442T-ZE camera for family of mine.

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    Good to hear. Would have been a bit unhandy having to use different apps/programs. If they decide to go with a camera system their new house, the will be using a NVR. They connect via Wireguard VPN (on a Raspberry Pi) to their camera's. No P2P. Now I know Amcrest and Dahua should work together...

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    Hi. Family of mine have been using 2 Amcrest IP2M-841 camera's as a baby camera. They were recommendations from this forum. They like them. Now they're looking for an outside camera on a barn that's about 40 meters away. And of course, I'm looking at what Dahua has available.;) For now, I'm...

    Christmas Sales 2021

    Hi Andy, any news on this? We would love to have an Amazon store here in the EU. Comparing prices on Aliexpress, the IP Cam Talk store and your US Amazon store does not favor the EU buyers right now. :oops:

    Dahua NVR not recording smart events

    I'm not OP but I have not enabled P2P on either camera or NVR. On the NVR's webinterface under "Management" -> Network -> "P2P".

    Dahua NVR not recording smart events

    Well, the first example I pointed out in that topic was the IVS events stopped showing on the NVR's timeline on January 12 and came back on January 27. The last time it happened, the IVS events stopped showing on the NVR's timeline on March 10 and came back on March 23. Are your camera and NVR...

    Dahua NVR not recording smart events

    I had/have the same problem: Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings Problem comes and goes. It did start working again since the last time. I haven't done a thing to either the camera or NVR.

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    As unexpected it started working again (), last Thursday night it stopped working again. No more IVS events in the NVR's timeline. 24/7 recording still working. It stopped working on March 10 between 17:26 (last IVS event on the NVR) and 17:31:08 (next IVS event still recorded on the camera's SD...

    Dahua NVR W/ VPN Setup - Push Notifications

    That's odd. I've blocked my camera and NVR from internet access (parental control in TP-Link router) and DMSS notifications work fine. When I'm home and (via OpenVPN on the same router) when I'm away.

    Dahua NVR W/ VPN Setup - Push Notifications

    @HereBull Could you not setup a Wireguard server (on a NAS, router, Raspberry Pi etc.) and run a VPN connection on your phone 24/7? On top of that; you could run a split tunnel VPN so that only the Dahua data goes through your Wireguard VPN tunnel and all other data traffic (on your phone, like...

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    I wasn't bothered enough to work on this, but today I found the NVR started displaying the IVS events again. The first IVS event on the NVR was at 16:39:20 Yesterday afternoon. I didn't show a previous IVS event at 16:36:00 that was recorded on the camera's SD-card. So in the logs I go to see...

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    Correct. Yes. Just the normal Playback menu on the (webinterface) of the NVR and also the playback of Smart PSS on my laptop. I don't use any form of AI. Yes. That's how I normally view the events. (I rarely use the NVR for playback, pretty much only to search for things IVS/tripwire didn't...

    2022 New Product Plan and Chinese New Year Plan

    Ah gotcha. I didn't know that. That's indeed weird. A very rough work-around may be to use IVS of the NVR (or motion detection of Blue Iris) for the VTO with a very large object size. (simulating a person/hand/finger in close proximity of the VTO's camera). Not bullet-proof, but it's...

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    I have a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and a NVR4116HS-4KS2. I records IVS/tripwire events on a SD-card in the camera and the NVR records 24/7 and IVS events. Or it should. Every once in a while, the NVR stops highlighting/recording the IVS events; it just shows the 24/7/general recording green bar...

    2022 New Product Plan and Chinese New Year Plan

    Maybe I don't understand you fully, but you mean your problem with the Dahua VTO's is that the actual press of the doorbell button on the VTO does not register like a IVS/tripwire (etc.) event on a normal camera would? I have no experience with the Dahua VTO/VTH's, but I always thought pressing...

    2022 New Product Plan and Chinese New Year Plan

    You mean to connect the VTO to a traditional doorbell? Would that not be possible with one of the alarm outputs on the VTO?

    Dahua Lite series NVR End-of-life (Update: new NVR's listed)

    Just looked at Dahua's website and they posted a whole slew of new NVR's in the NVR4/L series: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Network-Recorders/Lite-Series?page=1 They look identical and are named identical to their older NVR's but added the "/L" to the name. The Product...

    Dahua Lite series NVR End-of-life (Update: new NVR's listed)

    That's a shame. The NVR41__-4KS2 is a nice NVR when you don't need much. Or for a situation where you just want to record camera's 24/7 and have something else for the smart stuff. Speaking of which; the way things are going I'm leaning towards the many new projects that heavily rely on AI and...

    Dahua Lite series NVR End-of-life (Update: new NVR's listed)

    I noticed this week on Dahua's website, the entire NVR4-serie NVR's in the Dahua lite series is end-of-life. For example the quite populair NVR41__-4KS2 / NVR41__HS-4KS2. Only the NVR2-series is not (yet?) eol; but those are less 'powerfull'. Which also means there probably won't be anymore...

    IP Video Intercoms

    @EMPIRETECANDY Google will now support 3rd-party doorbells: Google Assistant gains open support for smart doorbells - 9to5Google I think I already know the answer to this, but do you think Dahua will work on this so the Dahua doorbells can work with Google too?

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Lately I've taken interest again in Camect. I've seen some really cool applications en Ai looks great. Part of me wants to tinker with it, get myself some old Intel Nuc (with an i3/i5) or a new one (but with a Celeron or Pentium) for about €100 and install Camect on it. As I've only got 1...

    Dahua bug - missing 1 hr recording - DST between 1am and 2am

    I'm using IPC-HDW5231R-ZE (2.800.0000013.0.R Build Date: 2019-12-02) and NVR4116HS-4KS2 (4.000.0000.4 Build Date: 2019-11-29)

    Dahua bug - missing 1 hr recording - DST between 1am and 2am

    Good point. Just checked my NVR and indeed I'm only seeing one period of 02:00 - 03:00. So I'm missing an hour of footage too... @EMPIRETECANDY Is this something Dahua can solve in a (firmware) update? This may become a less important issue since the EU want to abolish daylight saving time...
