    PTZ5A4M-25X no audio

    Some PTZs do have Mic and Speakers built in, But seems like yours may not.. So would as said before need an external Mic. Then even when you enable from camera at times it seems there might be an issue even with audio after being enable using WebUI. I found in this case you need to go to your...

    Static or DHCP for IP cams?

    Kind of need more info about what you are trying to do.. Personally turn off UpNP in all devices and best to turn it off in your router so one can't sneak on that you forgot to turn off.. Normally Firewall info isn't needed unless you have blocked the devices from access of the internet over...

    Local DVR latency issues

    From your post it sounds like you might want to add in a Switch. Connect your cameras, DVR, BI computer all to the switch and see if that helps with the bottle neck you are having with your router connected devices. Routers are good for dhcp service and giving access to the internet for your...

    Amcrest Smart Home (ASH), No http web user Interface, Boooo!

    Just a heads-up, you can’t flash firmware from a different Amcrest camera like one with a full WebUI onto a Smart Home series Amcrest camera just to get missing features like the Web interface. Even if the cameras look similar or share the same resolution, the firmware is model-specific and...

    Looking for something similar to my ip4m-1051 Amcrest PTZ camera.

    Keep in mind that the 841 is in the line of the 1051. These have been replaced with a v3 model that isn't same quality of camera. PCB is 1/2 the size and they removed Alarm and Audio in and out for external access. However this isn't what makes this v3 line not as good in my mind. That is they...

Most times cameras will connect when using Wifi you will need to connect using the App to tell the camera to connect to the Wifi Router.. Now One thing that can...

    1/1.2" sensor cameras: Is there a list? (looking for a zoom/varifocal)

    Here is a list, I am not sure what is out there today but maybe something from this list can help someone.. Axis Communications Axis Q3538-LVE Sensor: 1/1.2" Lens: Varifocal 4.3–8.6 mm, P-Iris, IR-corrected Zoom: ~2x optical (limited due to wide FOV focus) Notes: Exceptional WDR and low light...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Wow nice easy pcb to move, so without trying i am going to guess that camera would fit the Dahua housing. With no wires needing transplanting. Would have loved that being my pcb. Anyway looks like that is widest part and other is narrow, even if it needed to be tilted some that PCB out of its...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    So has been a while, my son was able to locate the normal base. Now i remember the main reason I transplanted the camera. Couple years ago when I went to replace failing MicroSD card 2 of the 3 screws came loose, I had to break the 3rd one from the base and doing so made it not very water tight...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    So went to Cabin and picked up one of the converted cameras, this camera has some extra parts that wasn't needed so this camera had only power and ethernet moved and audio alarm and analog still in dome housing. Camera it self works and picture of housing and close up you can see the red power...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Also said and fails later, Also in my text I mention other things as well that should be looked at, never once did I say that it was a fuse. Just some added things that if a camera is dead look at the fuse as well. Here is old motorized dauha camera, fuse and on the power board there is a fuse...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Here is one of my current FW dead cameras, this has very nice power board circuit, 6 smd caps and 2 through hole, smd fuse and camera 2021. Sorry all cameras have fuses on PCB. Even the Doorbells have more then one fuse. One that dies in them are on main camera pcb. Just because a smd fuse in...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Understand.. A nice scope isn't always needed. Just need to know what the difference are between Diodes and TVS, Fuses and current resistors.. There are many different types of things that can go wrong.. Also there are some times that even with the best meters a diode or other items in a circuit...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    Understand. I am not sure how narrow the Hikvision box is. I know that my Dahua boxes work great doing a conversion. I had some indoor cameras that I wanted to use outdoors in an area that didn't have cover. I mean I have put some indoor cameras outside under cover and they are still working...

    Andy's NVR vs Blue Iris?

    I have Bi and I have loads of NVRs.. Like you I like cameras. I have more then my fair share. I have mostly Amcrest NVRs and DVRs with some Hikvision OEM DVRs that I use as well. I personally like NVRs and DVRs over Bi because of the easy setup and my need to reset my recorders often. I do this...

    DHW2449T-S-PRO vs S-PV

    My guess is you force it you brick it.. Sure can be recovered most times.. Trying to update I am going to guess it will just fail.. About your other cameras.. I personally would buy a different housing and remove the guts from the Dome cameras and enter them into a larger then life housing...

    DS-2CD2546G2-IS without mounting plate

    Does that camera not have mounting holes on the bottom or does it have an area that rotates into a plate? My camera while not that model but is within that line of cameras has mounting holes where you remove the top cover of the camera like you will be resetting the camera or adding in a Mico SD...

    Amcrest AD410

    Yes that is what I am talking about.. Others that have and my self as well seeing I like to Tinker and troubleshoot things.. I have tried to make some little adjustments that should have no impact on the cameras ability to function but in fact caused my Ad410 to go into a boot cycle. While I can...

    I screwed up...broke the plastic part that accepts the rj45 jack

    Yes as in picture, most come setup so the parts can connect even to cables with ends already in place like yours. Adding that part will keep the 2 ends together. Rubber insert squish onto cable and will hold it into connector. I have some the top clip broke off and using the waterproof ends...

    I screwed up...broke the plastic part that accepts the rj45 jack

    Good news is the important part is still there. Now take the Water proof cap, Take the screw part put over the cable, now take the rubber gasket and put on in front and slide the boot over. Put the rubber in the end with all the teeth and loosely tighten the screw part, Then slide into the RJ45...

    Amcrest AD410

    To be honest the AD410 and the AD110 should not be changed from any 3rd party software or hardware. To be honest not even from the Amcrest Software that it says things can be changed using the Amcrest Ip config tools but if you do it will make the camera unstable and do a Constant Reboot. Then...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Something you have to ask yourself.. Why don't they say what F/Stop that camera is using? My guess is a f/2.0 and with as stated before the sensor is great for 4mp and sure I have some 4k cameras with that sensor and worse even but with better f/stop and so low light is ok not great.. Then one...

    Replace fan on Q6125-LE

    Replaced a good few fans in my PTZ cameras over the years. One of my Samsung cameras was hard to find the right fan and I had to install one that was the right voltage and seized squared but where I had an issue was the fan in my case had a very small depth and seeing the fan was smaller then...
