    Did I Miss Something or Is Eco Savvy 4.0 (Pro AI) New ?

    Is it the AI function that makes it expensive? Do they have the similar spec cameras in non AI for lower price?

    Dahua Side Mounting On Wall Using PFB203W?

    Thanks that's a good point I forgot to think about how I am going to tuck that waterproof barrel in. So inside the PFB203W there is plenty of space to fit the barrel? My Cat6 cable is coming from outside along the wall so I won't be drilling a hole for the wire. I see the PFB203W has a rubber...

    Dahua Side Mounting On Wall Using PFB203W?

    I have the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS and planning to mount it on the wall on the side of the house. I saw there is a mount designed for it the PFB203W. I'm wondering what benefit is there to using this mount versus just orienting the camera sideways and mount that way. The camera I have is a turret...

    I had similar issue as you when I updated both my cameras it keeps losing connection to my PoE switch. I did a hard factory reset by pressing the button and both cameras are stable again.

    Review - IP Cam Talk 4 MP IR Fixed Turret Network Camera

    Thanks for the videos. Both seem to have the infrared wash out the person's face. Would it be better if the cameras were mounted higher?

    Network clarifications first camera

    So if you are only accessing the Dahua cameras when connected to the VPN, you can't use the gDMSS/iDMSS app to live view? Can it still receive motion notifications on the phone app since you allowed the port for the cameras to send out notifications (not email alerts)?

    Difference between HDW2231R-ZS and HDW5231R-ZE?

    This got me thinking about how the decoding works on the Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E NVR that I want to buy. The specs say max decoding 4ch@8MP/16ch@1080P so does that mean if I were to display four 4K camera and four 1080P camera on a 1080P monitor it should be able to handle it since its only...

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4231E-ASE vs Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD-I

    I'm on almost same boat but deciding between IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE and IPC-HDW2231R-ZS. They are about the same price and I rather have the varifocal on the 2231 than mic on 4231. The 2231 is also missing the Face Detection. Question on the face detection on 4231. On the PDF Spec sheet it describes...

    A complex issue with a camera connecting to NVR - Can not find network host

    TLDR. Are you connecting your camera via the ethernet port on that TP-Link TL-WA701ND? I don't think that will work. You can try connecting a network switch to that port first and connect to your camera. You can plug a laptop to that ethernet port of your TP-Link TL-WA701ND to see if your laptop...
