    Are Unbranded Dahua Cameras from Aliexpress really Dahua's?

    If your seller is taking too long to reply you might want to consider another aliexpress or alibaba seller. Some communicate better than others when there are questions or problems.

    OMG I can't figure this out!! Dahua cam bricked?

    I'm not sure if your cam has one but if you take it apart you might find on the board a small button that is a reset switch. I've had to use it on mine when I was having a few issues with it. It resets the password and settings to defaults. Just press it for a second or so while the cam is...

    I have a G1WH bought in NOV 2014 from SpyTec on Amazon. I use a different mount that attaches to the mirror. It's survived Texas summers and still working great. I leave it in the truck. Plug in Cig lighter. Comes on when I start every time...

    The Dahua NVR!

    I sent an email to them about the "S2". I'll let you know if I get an answer. :) After looking through the Dahua catalog I noticed they all have the 4KS2.

    The Dahua NVR!

    I'll know who to ask if I need something decoded. :) I am looking at the 5416 because of the 4 HD capacity. Other than HD capacity they are the same..?? DH-NVR5416-16P-4KS2 What does the S2 mean after the 4K. Is it maybe a series #. I have found the DH-NVR5416-16P-4KS2 but not the...

    Anyone elso have this happen with new AliExpress account...?

    I know email addresses are bought and sold on the open market. Something we just have to deal with. But what concerns me is why ask to join a linkedIn account. It just seems kind of strange. Unless somebody hacked their account unknowingly.

    The Dahua NVR!

    Good to know. Thanks. Yeah you really have to be careful on Craig's List. Ali shows about a $111 shipping charge for this NVR. I'll take another look at CCTV-Mall..... thanks. Is the difference between the 5416 and the 5216 the amount of HD it can support....?

    The Dahua NVR!

    Have you had good experience with CCTV-Mall..? I'm going to order a DH-NVR5416-16P-4KS2 and Nelly's doesn't have it. AliExpress is out of stock but it's not an emergency so I can wait. CCTV-Mall or AliExpress..?

    Anyone elso have this happen with new AliExpress account...?

    I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but yesterday after I opened a new account with AliExpress I got a request from an account manager at a Chinese bank to join my "LinkedIn" network. Their profile looked legit but I'm always cautious with this stuff... Anyone else this happen to...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-SP/16 case fan hack

    I see. Ok. Missed it earlier. You mounted the fans on the outside of the case. Good idea. :) My case doesn't have any vent holes on the top so I would have to make some. How are your fans powered...?

    Dahua NVRs motion record with scheduled record skips frames

    Don't know if this is helpful but I had a similar prob with skipping frames. Turned out I had "snapshot" turned on which caused a conflict with recording motion also. I didn't really understand but it fixed the problem when I turned snapshot off. (QCNVR8816)

    Is the QCN8026B (4MP Dahua rebadged) really this bad looking at night?

    I have these cams (QCN8026B) which came as part of a Costco bundle. They are 4MP with 3.6 lens and are not too bad at night. The video says it's a QCN8023B cam 3MP. It could be how You Tube compresses the video or how the guy uploaded it that makes it look not as good.

    Some (Dahua) QC8816 NVR fan noise louder than others.

    Update on fan noise..... :) Had to replace the power supply fan this week on our Q-See 8816 NVR. It was starting to make noise as the cheap bushings were wearing out. It's 60mm x60mm and 10mm thick. 12V / .3 A I replaced it with a 60mm x 60mm 15mm thick fan. Rated at 12V / .12 A It's a...

    Deciding Between Two Costco Systems

    I've had the 8816 system from Costco for about a year now and not had any problems. Fixed a couple fan noise issues and it runs real quiet now. I do like the option of running up to 4 6GB HDD for a total of 24TB if you need it. Any Dahua cam will be totally compatable with it also. To be...

    Using 4K monitor with 4MP cams question...

    Thanks for your reply. In the specs it only says, "This system comes with VGA and HDMI video output ports to allow you to connect to a computer monitor or HD display for viewing purposes. Some models also include a BNC video port to allow the use of an analog television as a video display."
