    Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?

    I’m not sure if this is a camera or NVR functionality, I think that either could be the source. So, how might I get my Dahua cameras to show their stream on my AppleTV? Thanks, r

    Clearly the EmpireTech NVR 5-EI Series 16 Channels (NVR16CH-AI) is not the NVR5216-XI since the specs don’t match. So since Andy is not available, why international model is the EmpireTech NVR16CH-AI? EmpireTech NVR 5-EI Series 16 Channels None POE 1U 2HDD Smart AI Network Video Recorder,Face...

    The only reason why I might repeat myself about missing model numbers is when the respondent did not understand what I wrote the first time and it had to be repeated.... I did reach out to Andy and I've not received a response..... so, point well taken.... rest assured it's under control.. :) R

    Still have trouble finding a given international number or series on Andy's web site.... he often does not use model numbers! "NVR16CH-16P-2AI" is not useful. I cannot see what series it is..... there must be a better way. Why can't we have a cross reference chart? So I need a model number...

    What part of the NVR would incur the bottleneck? Is there something in particular to look at on the specifications that indicate this higher capacity on the 5 series? Thanks, R

    One problem, Andy does not list model numbers on his web site.... So, can you recommend a specific model or two? I would like to know the international and AndyNumbers as well. I wish we could have just one model number and one place to lookup... This always seems like a Columbo...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    So, what Dahua NVR for this smart AI cam (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3)? I see the cam has SMD 3.0 but the 8-Channel AI NVR that Andy sells (NV41AI-8P-4KH) only supports SMD+. I've been told that these new cameras with the AI smarts need the NVR to play along so I assume that this NVR would not be optimal on...

    Yes, all of your points make a lot of sense and I appreciate your input on this.... BTW: I never intended to flash the NA cams with international firmware.... that would be asking for trouble. :) Thanks again! R

    Replacing Arlo...

    Yes, I was asking what specific variant of the 5442 model since the Empire and specs here on the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 are incomplete. I just wanted to see a full spec sheet and needed the full model number to ensure that I was looking at the correct document. Yes, the closest North American variant...

    Dahua-5231ZE does not support SFTP?

    I wanted to explore having a lone camera (without an SD card) simply upload motion clips to a certain SFTP server but it seems like my ISP does not support FTP and the camera seems to have no option for SFTP. What might be the solution? Thanks, R

    So the original post from March of 2022 is the latest.... Or rather you are able to edit the 2022 list to keep it up to date..... Got it! Does S3 refer to the WizMind S Series? What benefits of the S3? Did the model number change?
