    VTO3211D-P1-S2 switch problem

    Proverbial shot in the dark here... 1) Connected directly with a UTP cable (Cat5 etc.) POE router or Connected directly with WiFi? 2) Can we assume the switch is connected to the router by a UTP (Cat5 etc.) cable? Or is this some WiFi router to WiFi switch connection? 3) So this is a POE...

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    Glad to hear things are looking up! I had this issue, and while I can't remember exactly the fix, it had something to do with one of the settings for Port, Stream Type, Protocol, and Encryption. What is working for me: Port: 554, Stream Type: Extra, Protocol: Local. (Channel is 1, Encryption...

    Cuban Classic Cars

    The white car on the far right is probably a Soviet built Fiat called a Lada. Fairly recognizable with those Fiat horizontal, multicolored, blocky tailights and that black parallelogram on the C-pillar.

    Ahhhhh, so in addition to the metal tower material, there's lots of copper?

    The official "WTF" thread

    Apologies if this sounds ignorant, but would this have been to resell the metal? Or is there some other not generally known reason to steal a radio tower?

    Question for VTO2311R-WP ?

    It will "work" as an IP camera without a VTH device - at least in Blue Iris. I only use mine with Blue Iris, so not sure about NVR (assuming you mean an appliance NVR). You don't mention if you've already bought the VTO, but this is one of those areas - meaning video doorbells - where the...

    Yet another VTO, Home Assistant, Kwikset, DahuaVTO2MQTT discussion

    I agree that it can be quite confusing. Please see in post #8 of this thread the discussion of the utility called DahuaVTO2MQTT which "listens" for ONVIF events sent by the VTO (the video doorbell). One of the type of events it detects is when someone presses a button on the doorbell itself or...

    Bird Catches Bird

    Agree. Classic blue-gray color and has that distinct horizontal "zebra" striping and white terminal band on the tail feathers.

    Any benefit in adding a GPU to a Blue Iris PC?

    This is an important and often overlooked point IMHO, particularly with a machine that is powered on 24/7.

    reset password VTH dahua

    I have not done this is in awhile, but depending on the VTO, mine are VTO2311R-WP's, they have a reset button on the back (under the flange/cover where the POE connection is) and you can press it five times in a row (do it fairly slowly and deliberately) and it will factory reset the VTO. Note...

    Dahua vto not connecting on dmss

    You have probably already tried this, but confirming that you have one VTO set as the Main and the other one set as the Sub, and that the SIP server settings on the VTH's are pointing to the IP address of the Main VTO?

    Choosing a dahua doorbell

    I have two VTO2311R-WP's and six VTH2621GW-WP's. I love mine, but judging from other forum discussions, I might be the only the person on here who does! :lol: In fact, I posted not too long about my use case and received not a single response! :lmao...

    Dahua VTH and VTO features??

    I have VTO2311R-WP's and VTH2621GW-WP's (We just refer to him as Andy on the forums, but member @EMPIRETECANDY is our main man for "prosumer" Dahua prodcuts, information, and knowledge.) You can certainly display a Dahua camera feed on the VTH, and probably most other IP cameras as well, but...

    Dahua VTH and VTO features??

    Apologies if I am not understanding the question, but aside from screen saving blanking the display, I can view (called monitor in the interface) any of my cameras with any VTH - with the caveats, in my case 1) that I can view only one camera at a time, and 2) they are all Dahua cameras. I don't...

    What Are They Doing

    That's my not-so-important vote too. This almost certainly the purpose of drilling a well in that location. When we use the word aquifer in this case we are talking about a surficial aquifer or unconfined aquifer...

    What Are They Doing

    Lots of good suggestions. I'm a retired hydrologist and I don't want to sound like a know it all, but I've never seen anyone use a mud rotary drill to punch a hole in a street unless they needed to monitor something in roughly that specific location. There are lots of valid underground things to...

    Cuban Classic Cars

    Sincerely, that is a beauty. Those cars were so much fun to drive. I'm not too knowledgeable on the years, but if I remember correctly the '66 was still a 6-volt bug, correct? And the hot setup was an 8-volt lawn tractor battery! :cool:

    Thank you @duplo for the links! :thumb: I find the "best" doorbell discussion interesting. Although I have my VTO2311R-WP's integrated with Blue Iris and Home Assistant, in my humble opinion the best experience for my needs are with the VTH's installed too. Consider a traditional analog...
