    Intrusion detection not supported.

    I have 2 NVR up and running and I keep getting intrusion detection and line crossing not supported on one, while the other NVR with the same type 4mp cams attached has no problems. The only difference I can see between the 2 NVRs is that one has a drop down menu for region and the number 1 is...

    Initialize HDD outside NVR.

    Finally got around to it today, thank you for sharing the screen shot, some how I turn blind with these menus. Went and picked up 2 3tb WD purple from Best buy, almost the same price as online, here it is for those who want to be up and running quick and have a Best Buy near them...

    Initialize HDD outside NVR.

    I must have missed those tabs as I was in basic events. The Disk is a 1TB Seagate Barracuda model 9SL154. Was supposed to be used until the 3tb WD purple arrive. But will just wait for it.

    Initialize HDD outside NVR.

    Thank you alas, I must have spent 2 hours on this today. I deleted the volume and no go, then for the heck of it, I used a program that formats drives that are over 32gb in fat32, then deleted the volume again, and it worked, the NVR was finally able to read the disk with the correct free space...

    Initialize HDD outside NVR.

    I have a NTFS HDD thats being recognized by the NVR but cant initialize through the browser, dont have HDMI access on this machine. Is there a way/tool to initialize the drive outside the NVR? Or format outside it to a format that deems it plug and play with the NVR. Thanks

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    Good points if ordering outside Ali, normally the seller sends you an invoice, and normally the invoice is itemized, if not, thats a red flag right there. My invoice had the cams model number and amount, NVR and amount. Like ebay, Paypal also offers adding a tracking number which protects both...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    I paid $52 on a $1850 invoice to the USA via DHL, which is very fair, I know its much more then this for UK buyers, I also prefer to use Aliexpress sellers but finish the transaction outside Aliexpress, you are still protected if using paypal. Most sellers know this and want no problems.

    8 cams 16ch POE Costco Sale

    Yea it looks that way. This effect can add a twist to how we gauge the quality of these night shots. I was just at a friends house who had 3mp installed, the cams that had their IR hitting the ground looked great, they are 8 feet high, and hitting the ground at an angle, so they dont need to be...

    Heres another night shot from a different angle with a 4mp just installed yesterday. This corner is pitch black, not sure if IR reflection off the car might is helping but looks very clean.

    8 cams 16ch POE Costco Sale

    HTTP port if you want to use a browser such as firefox to access your NVR. 80 is default Server Port if you want to view from a mobile device. 8000 is default RSTP for programs such as Blue Iris. If your only using mobile devices to view, then no need to forward your HTTP or RSTP ports. I'm...

    8 cams 16ch POE Costco Sale

    Heres a night shot with the 4mp, right next to the car is almost complete darkness with a dim light across the street. Although may not compare with 1/2 sensor models and slightly worse then the 3mp, its still very descent I think

    8 cams 16ch POE Costco Sale

    Maybe you can add an external IR light or add a few good night view cams. you'll save money and have higher res cameras. Here is the night performance of a hik 3mp, recorded at 2mp as per video info. Should view on a 1080p monitor. Also the bit rate for the clip is unknown.

    How to get started

    New arrival today, DHL is impressive

    The quality of the images and price make up for the plastic mount, but dont think this camera exists with a metallic mount as the DS-2CD2342WD-I is an entirely different cam.

    Camera keeps rebooting after changing IP port

    Do you get a page cannot be displayed or "unable to connect" when accessing from the browser? If unable to connect, it means the camera is online and detected, ensure you are putting :81 after the address, since the working cam is port 80, you dont have to enter any ports followed by the cams...

    New arrival today, DHL is impressive

    Just did some searching, the only 4mp that has a metallic housing is the DS-2CD2342WD-I, which has the Wide Dynamic Range of 120db, while its a completely different model it is the closest to the popular plastic-mount, 4mp floating around. It also comes up as an overseas item so not sure if...

    They also lack a setscrew that holds the cams position in place, still firm but not as the old ones.

    New arrival today, DHL is impressive

    Have not tested the picture yet but thats already confirmed on here of its great day images. Was not impressed with the hardware downgrade, the 3mp is a solid piece. If theres not much of a price difference, I would get the US 4mp model, if there is, then this will have to suffice.

    New arrival today, DHL is impressive

    Everything was fairly priced and matched. You know how it is, once the word gets out among family and friends, everyone wants a set. I was playing with the cameras today, the quality is nothing compared to the 3mp, very discouraging. Looks like you can no longer tighten down the camera as the...

    New arrival today, DHL is impressive

    Just got my order in Today, finally got a good source off of Ali, they tested every cam and sent screen shots, also tested email alerts. The NVR's are DS-7732N-E4 v3.3.4, the cams DS-2CD3345 v5.3.3, hope no major surprises later. I noticed the one 2.8mm cam was the only cam that arrived in a...
