    VTO2000A can it be installed without a physical VTH?

    I was planning to use this just with iphone/android/PC/MAC clients. Is it necessary to have an actual, physical VTH installed? Thanks!

    External microphone/speakers for DAHUA cameras

    Ahhhh, now I understand. I will be powering the camera, the traditional way, rather than through POE! Cool, thanks again!

    VTO2000A new V4 firmware

    @riogrande75 One last question, if you know, does the firmware has some sort of checksum? I can see that the posted files are ".bin" files, theoretically they may get corrupted while downloading. Basically, would VDPConfig download onto the device corrupted firmware?

    Got a VTO2000A from Alibaba but no SIP

    @riogrande75 Yep, found the thread, thanks. Question for you: what is the difference between a SIP firmware and a non-SIP firmware. Are there any reasons why a person might want to keep a non-SIP firmware? The seller advised that if I flash the SIP-firmware, I will not be able to downgrade back...

    External microphone/speakers for DAHUA cameras

    @awsum140 Hmm I cannot seem to find POE splitters that would still provide POE while also providing power as well. The ones I can seem to find on flea bay and Amazon are like totally splitting the POE cable into power and non-poe Ethernet. This means I still have to run 2 cables to the camera...

    VTO2000A new V4 firmware

    @riogrande75 I am running trixbox at home (asterisk 1.8) - which one of these firmwares is the latest, and that would work with my setup? If you know, of course.

    Connecting VTO2000A to a mechanical chime

    Hi, I am looking over the list of possible connections for this doorbell, I am not seeing any "feedback button" that would provide feedback if the button of the doorbell has been pressed. Or am I wrong? Can the doorbell be connected to an existing mechanical chime? Thanks! Dana

    Dahua PAL to NTSC switch

    "JTAG refers the existence of a connector on the PCB, through which you can put the micro-controller in a special mode that allows direct access to the flash memory chips. You will be able to read, erase and program those chips." H/W kind of flashing the camera to its original state.

    Dahua PAL to NTSC switch

    Will do, thanks for the advice! That is my source too: Empire Technology, Andy :) One more question, not very familiar with IP camera bricking, is there any way of JTAG-ing a bricked camera? Or a bricked camera is just that, plain dead.

    Dahua camera accepts 128G micro SD card

    Yeah, I was thinking about exactly the same brand/card. Hmmm, I have a 256gb in my cell, I guess I'm going to give it a try and see if it is working.

    Dahua PAL to NTSC switch

    Indeed, you are right, the camera works just fine, anyway I will be using it at 20fps maximum resolution, so that does not matter all that much. Btw, that is exactly the kind of camera I have :) What exactly do you mean by "a hacked camera with modified firmware"?

    External microphone/speakers for DAHUA cameras

    Ahh, now I realize, one needs external power for these ":) I was planning to do everything over POE, guess that is not possible

    Dahua camera accepts 128G micro SD card

    The camera claims to accept "up to 128 gigs" micro SD card. Is this a hard and fast number (strictly enforced), or may I also use a micro SD card of 256 gigs? Thanks!

    Dahua PAL to NTSC switch

    Hi folks, If a Dahua camera is PAL, can it be switched to NTSC? I heard, but maybe I am mistaken, that you only need to flash the proper firmware. Thanks!

    Purchasing Hikvision cameras

    Guys, guys, LOL. I am not looking into purchasing 80-90 bucks cameras, I am not here for the debate, I am looking at top of the line cameras. DarkFigher, Starlight, 4k, PTZ, etc. Or at least some of these attributes. Is there any Hikvision reliable seller around?
