    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    The one thing I'll say about domes is they seem to be more waterproof. Turrets seems to get water intrusion and fog/condense the lens from the inside way more often.

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Yea I realized that pretty quick, but his listing doesn't use IPC in it, unless it's searching something else, infact, nothing comes up if I search IPC-SD59230U-HNI That was just a typo on the forum. Copy pasting was formatting weird.

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    For some reason your store does not come up in the search results... If I search sd5923ou-hni no listing for you comes up.

    Dahua NVR5232-4KS2 - anything I should know?

    Actually I'm pretty certain they only have one port and he mispoke.

    Hey all, I'm the new guy here, PLEASE help me...

    That's a lot higher level than I thought you were implying.

    Hey all, I'm the new guy here, PLEASE help me...

    Wait what? Don't you mean an improperly configured cam can be accessible, I don't see how a camera on your network can allow access to the rest of your network. If the camera were accessible the traffic should be routed to there and only there.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Yea I've started paying attention to the actual sensor size and light capture ability. Like the 2mp starlight ptz has a bigger sensor and obviously better light capture than the closest 4mp non SL version. Does this translate to daytime quality too though.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Which turret? I've been trying to figure out exactly what makes seemingly higher resolution images lower quality.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    So the T has a crappy sensor or no? Vendors telling me the T replaces the S and the S no longer available.

    Question on Ali seller and Dahua NVR-NVR5216-4KS2

    Why are you worried about the logo?

    pal and ntsc compatability on network cameras?

    Will pal cameras work with an ntsc dvr and vise versa? I don't see why they wouldn't be since its a digital signal. All the stuff on aliexpress seems to be labeled as pal is why I ask, which means if I get stuff from there and one day get something from north America I would obviously end up...

    Dahua NVR5232-4KS2 - anything I should know?

    OK, then it would take multiple cams per port, but it's effectively no different then an external switch with the cameras and router on it, connected to the lan port. So no real reason to buy the POE version since it's less available and I don't need it.

    Dahua NVR5232-4KS2 - anything I should know?

    Yea knew that x2, more just a question of will it accept more than one feed/camera/address per port, or for some reason only takes 1 (no vendors I asked seem to know the answer). I mean it might even just act exactly like a switch with interconnection to the lan port and this whole question...

    Dahua NVR5232-4KS2 - anything I should know?

    Also, do you guys know if the POE ports in the back act like a regular port. As in all your cameras feed into a switch and then you uplink the switch to one of the POE ports? As in, say, 16 cameras end up connected to one port. Just thinking it would be nice to have the NVR as a roadblock...

    Shopping list check/reccomendations.

    Just want to check make sure there aren't some better options or anything anyone might want to share, thanks. NVR5232-4KS2 320Mbs 32 channel I doubt I would ever max this out... SD29204S-GN These would be used in my barn to monitor animals, I'd like something higher resolution, but I need the...

    What about firmware? Seems I keep reading about people buying from china and having issues with not being able to update firmware.

    Dahua NVR5232-4KS2 - anything I should know?

    I'm going to hijack your thread a bit because I'm looking at getting the same DVR, Do you guys have luck with ali express? Seems a little questionable.

    NVR web interface must have features?

    They have so many freaking models trying to choose one is really frustrating. edit* Wait, i think i figured it out. They split their models into 3 groups by bandwith (lite, pro, ultra) then by number of hard drives (second digit), then by channels, and by number of POE ports on the model. I...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Why does the video seem better on the 2mp over the 4mp?

    1080p cameras with poor image.

    Yea which is pretty much the plan. I need some indoor PTZ and came across a thread of yours and looked at the video (SD29204S), can tell you with certainty it's putting out a way better picture. Also, I would have sprayed those salesman with the hose.

    1080p cameras with poor image.

    I gave that a go, it *looks* a little better for sure, especially in the shadows, but it's still definitely still lower quality. Yea I know the blur is the dome, that's not what I was concerned with. I tried lower I frames as well and sharpness doesn't have any real effect either. If you...

    NVR web interface must have features?

    Amcrest needs to get their shit together. I asked them precisely about this and they said their NVRs don't don't do it. They also have a $599 NVR listed as 32 channel @ 5mp, when I asked the bitrate they said it was 80Mbs, I was like no way that's wrong, and then they are like oh yea it's...

    NVR web interface must have features?

    Are there any manufacturers that have web interface features that are worth considering them over others for? For instance, I have always hated how most DVR/NVRs backup videos. If continuous recording and you want to backup video around a motion alert, you have to view the motion alert in...

    1080p cameras with poor image.

    I'm new to IP cameras, I have a hikvision PTZ and an amcrest little indoor thing and am planning to get a lot more. Both are 1080p, but the hikvision image quality is way way lower. I assume this has to to with the compression at the camera and the hikvision being under powered in image...
