All, What is the WIKI (ha ha) for buying from Andy, where do we get a hold of him to pay, what info does he need, etc. TIA

What camera do you recomend (brand/model), thanks for the link I will play around with it

Nayr, I see you are the resident experts on the Dahua's. I am looking for a good camera with facial recognition at about 15' for both day/night. I currently have a Hikvision 3 MP 4mm and at > 8-10' I am not impressed. I am looking for a turret/dome (the round ones), any suggestions. Thank...

All, I have the camera set to continuous record however the clips are broken into segments. In the record settings I have it set to 8 hrs or 8GB but the clip files I am getting are around 4GB and 1 hr, any ideas ?

so the profile's are a global setting (goes across all camera's). so what's the point of them (change cam setting for night, etc) ?

That's what I thought but it's not working. If I have both as profile1 it works (records on cam1 and takes pics on cam2) but only records video based on motion in the unmasked area that was setup in cam2. If I try to do two different profiles (profile 1 and hotspot) cam2 does not stay/save as...

Now that I have the camera copied can I have one record on motion (no mask) and then the second take a pic when the object goes into an unmasked area ? Both are on the same profile just one has video (no mask) and the other is pic with mask.

Excellent, that saved me a lot of time. Thanks fenderman !

What do you mean by duplicate camera ?

Ok, makes sense. So in order to use multiple profiles I would have to set a schedule and a profile to use ?. What I am trying to do is have video record on triggers and only have a pic taken when in the hotspot, is this possible ?.

All, currently have two profiles setup (1 and a hotspot). I have profile1 record when triggered and have the other hotspot profile take pics (no video) when inside the unmasked zone. The JPEGs are to be sent via email (this is tested and working fine when tested via test mode). The problem I...

Ok, got it thank you

All, So I made a stupid mistake. I recently changed ISP and when changing the IP through the camera via browser the camera locked up now I cannot gain access, what do I do ? DS-2CD3332-1 V5.2.5_141201

Can you recommend a vari-vocal Dahua with EXIR/Equivilant ?

Do you have any experience with this model, I am torn as I have a HIKI with EXIR and I am under the assumption EXIR is better than the IR emitters used in this one.

All, Just wondering you makes this camera, from the spec's it looks like a Hiki but the housing does not ? http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=14647&utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=retargetting&utm_content=234x104&utm_campaign=q2_2016_test TIA

Ok got it now, my schedule was defaulted so everything was defaulting to whatever was setup as the first profile. Added the second profile only during the times I needed and all is good, thanks for the help

Yes, they are all active

All, I have set up text messaging based on a second profile (everything is masked out but my actual driveway), the goal is text's to be sent at night when someone goes on the driveway. Currently I do not have any scheduling turned on so I assume anytime motion is detected that a text message...

Not sure if this is appropriate or not, if not please delete. I am wondering what is the best ebay seller of Chinese cam's that you have had experience with ?

when an nvr notes 5 MP of recording what does this mean ?

All, Can you please recommend a PC, I have looked at the optiplex's however I am wondering if I can get something cheaper for my systems. I am still at the stage where I am debating between an NVR or dedicated PC so cost is one of the factors. 4-5 HIKVISION Turrets 4 - 3 MP or 4 - 4 MP (the...

Yes that is part of the road, I assume mask that out as well ?

Awesome, that got me very close to 25 fps. On a side note I have setup a mask and it still seems to trigger the camera when there are vehicles on the road, any suggestions.

All, woke up this morning and the fps is 12.5, so..... 1. Was this just because it was night time ? 2. One of the recording a car drove by and the motion blur was substantial, was this a byproduct of the camera settings or low fps ? 3. Should this value not match the setting in the camera ...

All, I just downloaded the BI software and everything was looking good, I was then playing around with my image settings and then the yellow frame rate exclamation notice came up, any ideas on how to clear this ?, currently running at approx 3.1 to 3.4 fps

Ok got camera working on this, is there any reason why I cannot locally record to my PC ?

All, I am tossing around the idea of purchasing a HIKVISION NVR when I get some more camera's for my system or using an older PC for this purpose. Just looking for Pro's and Con's fro both ideas please. Secondly I have been trying to get ivMS-4200 to work, just to play around with recording...
