    Playback tab in Dahua web interface not showing any clips

    My Dahua Web UI for N22AL12 I checked is not the same as the one in your last post. It doesn't have the box near top with Normal, Event, Alarm, Manual in it. Perhaps you need to select Normal in that box or something else. I specify record type in the bottom line like the one is in your last...

    Sensor difference on outdoor 12x PTZ cams

    I've had the Amcrest 25X for two years. It's my favorite camera. I use ethernet cable with 12V power but have seen user reports of poe working properly. Cons: When highly zoomed it can loose focus when moving between day and night but I think that's fairly common with Dahua PTZ. Amcrest is...

    Sensor difference on outdoor 12x PTZ cams

    I saw the amazon review about a year ago that you referenced. I could speculate on what the problem is there, but it's easy to see what your max zoom is. Just measure the height of an object at 1X and then measure it again at full zoom. The object at 12X should have a height 12 times bigger...

    Intermittent Disconnecting 3 cameras. Any Troubleshooting Tools?

    Try an android WIFI Analyzer app. I've used the one by farproc for many years. Quite helpful. I haven't looked at everything in Google Play Store recently. I do remember that IOS apps don't have access to wifi data like android apps do.

    Amcrest WiFi Outdoor PTZ

    I got tired of wildlife false detections. So I use a Camect with IP2M-858 and others. I get no false detection events. It only detects events for the objects I choose. It's also recording 24/7. Everything I do can be done locally. Here's the current object list in Camect.

    amcrest live view/web view fail

    Amcrest NV4108-HS Not Able to Show All Streams

    H.265 decoding does take more cpu cycles than h.264, so try h.264. Also make sure it's the NVR monitor that's being set to use camera substreams.

    Red Light on IP8M-T2499EW

    Your camera has 850nm IR leds which will have dim red glow. To illiminate the red, try this. Turn off your camera IR. Use an external 940nm IR illuminator like this one. It will provide less light than a similarly powered 850nm IR illuminator...

    Owlcam issue using Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Regarding a flakey camera mentioned in my last post. Similar problems were happening last year. I thought it might be a flakey camera, but there was not time for someone to analyse and pursue it. The owlet was leaving soon. I suspected it because of a then active thread called SD49225T-HN...

    If you had to recommend a mini PTZ which one would you?

    I use an Amcrest(Dahua OEM) 25X PTZ for wildlife. After looking at your location snapshot, I suggest you evaluate the zoom view you would have with the 4X cameras versus what you would have with a 12X or 25X PTZ. I think greater zoom is worth it, even if the camera is big and heavy. Also...

    P2P remote vs local connection

    Yes. You could test it. Start live view with local P2P, then unplug internet from router. Your live view should still be streaming.

    P2P remote vs local connection

    My Amcrest camera P2P connection requires internet Amcrest server to establish connection between camera and device. After connection, data flows directly between camera and device, local or remote. I would think Dahua does the same thing using a Dahua server.

    Recommendation on a swivel ball mount for IR illuminator?

    A shadow by the side of an object is related to the distance of the illuminator from the camera. I've used this 12V 5A power supply for two years to power two Tendelux 8W and a camera about 25 ft away. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QTNF9F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    Delay in Amcrest AD110 doorbell video.

    "Conclusion: The app switches over to cellular data much too quickly. I don't know how or if it can control when it switches over, but it should switch over to cellular data much later than it does now. " The iPhone setting"WIFI Assist" changes wifi to cell, not the app. It can be set on or off.
