    ipc-t5442tm-as = trouble

    We had this camera at work and it was very troublesome. So we retired it. Connection issues. Rather than throw it away directly. I thought I'd give it a try to see if it could be revived. I can see it with the Dahua config tool, but when I try to change the ip, I get a password error. When...

    "Please install the plug". Help

    I've been away a whole, as my system has been fairly stable, but I have encountered a little problem I could use some help with. So, I was given a couple of IP cameras that were previously installed on another system. I am trying to get them connected on mine, but their IP addresses are...

    I've neglected my system. Should i update firmware?

    Hello all, I've been absent for some time, but am recently thinking of adding a camera to my system. I've sort of lost touch with my specific hardware, and would like to avoid too many trips up and down a ladder. I took a screenshot of my setup screen to show my current hardware. Would...

    Replacing/upgrading BNC cameras on Ganz DR4N

    Dahua motion detect recording delay

    When I am recording just motion on my NVR4208-8P-4KS2, it always misses the 1st several seconds. There is a setting in the camera - event/video detection/record delay that appears to have a minimum value of 10sec. Is that related? Is it not possible to record immediately, or even a few...

    Surely it is not that difficult - NVR operation

    Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I am trying to get the hang of my new Dahua NVR. Something as basic as playback has me stumped. In my Easy Viewer web service, I am on the playback tab and can select dates and cameras to watch. I press play, and the video starts playing at 12:00 am -...

    Zmodo ZP-IBT15-S Camera setup/operation. Special POE???

    So I have a Zmodo system that was partially damaged by a power surge. The NVR has a 4 port POE switch and I was running 4 of the 720p IBT15-S cameras. But it was damaged by lighting. Well, i am trying to salvage some of the cameras for use with my new Dahua NVR. Fortunately, I was left with...

    MAC address on camera sticker does not match actual.

    Hi Andy, 1st let me say thanks for sending my recent order out quickly. Everything arrived just fine While configuring things, I have noticed that the MAC addresses listed on the camera ID stickers do not match what is shown in the web interface. Not a big deal, I suppose, but it does have...

    Help a newb with camera network questions.

    I plan to ultimately have a mixed environment of some POE cameras connected directly to the NVR, but I will also want a camera or two connected to my local network, but powered from a conventional 12v wall transformer. So I wonder about IP addresses. I have given my NVR and address on my...

    Help a newb with Dahua NVR questions.

    Hi, I have a NVR 4208-8P-4KS2 and just did a basic setup/config on my test bench. At 1st, I did not have the ethernet connected, so the wizard did not fully complete. Anyway, I connect to it via my laptop browser. I started with Chrome. When I login, it shows the Web service and Preview...

    Question regarding long range subject with HFW5231E-Z12E

    I have one location that I would like to view road traffic at about 250 meters, so I am keenly interested in a long range camera. I see the very interesting 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera SD49225T-HN But, I have no need for the added complexity of the PTZ. Although it is not rated like...

    Hello from Ohio!

    I am planning a couple of 4-6 camera systems for myself and another family member. I previously had a basic 1080 Zmodo system that bit the dust in an electrical storm. Not sure if any of my existing ip cameras still function. I am very much a DIY guy and fairly tech handy, but a little rusty...
