I haven't really looked into any software...I do love SmartPSS on my iMac(late 2015)and Macbook (early 2015) but I don't know of any other good ones.

So I logged into my Dahua's and here are the resolutions: 2592x1520 2560x1440 2304x1296 1080 I don't know why my NVR won't take the 2304x1296 resolution, but I guess because its different from the standard 2048x1536.

Thanks Nayr. I started by changing the iFrame down to the fps setting and so far so good since doing that. Also, while I do have 5 - 4mp cameras, my 16 - channel ION NVR accepts up to 3MP resolution (2048x1536) but my Dahua's output in 3MP is not the 2048x1536 standard so my ION NVR does not...

I'm having issues with 4 of my 5 Dahua 4431C-A's that I have around the home. It seems that daily I will happen to check my vmeyesuper app or idmss or even SmartPss and notice that my cameras feed is scrambled. I have all of them on the exact same settings of 6144 bitrate, 1080P, and the rest is...

Yeah I hear ya. I opened one up just for giggles and I already have more on the way from Aliexpress. I didn't think of a critter cam, I could put it near the garden bed to see how my tomatos are doing!

Yeah I agree dummy cams are sucky. I wonder if someone would pay a small fee for these cameras lol...

I have 6 Dahua cameras...(5) HFW4300S and (1) HDW4421C that (to my best knowledge) no longer work after a very close by lightning strike last month. I have 8 total but only 1 works and another HDW4421C I completely took apart just out of curiosity to see if could notice any damage but I wasn't...

So I took my one working camera and walked around the house with a ladder...my POE switch reported a green light on each cat6 line...what else should I be looking for? Should I go ahead and purchase that continuity tester? Thoughts?

I hadn't thought about the static charge scenario, so that may be it. Oh I know nothing can really stop a direct strike so if I can just mitigate the loss even a little the next time a strike is nearby or even a static charge, then that would be enough. I remember researching this potential...

I don't think you can ever really prevent a lightning strike from being so close....in the meantime, I'm looking at POE surge arrestors to at least stop the next strike from continuing on to the switch, modem, etc...

I really should dismount the one good cam and walk around the house and test it on the cable that is reporting a fault, maybe just maybe 1 or 2 of the other 7 lines may still be ready for a working ip cam so for now it reports either fault or no light. My prosafe poe switch was replaced under...

Yeah it killed 7/8 ip cameras that I'm aware of. One of them actually turned on via 12v but then that only lasted a bit and it hasn't come back on. My prosafe died but the internal fan powered on. All in all I'm slowly replacing things because even if it works, it may be on its way to dying...

As the title mentions, should I also replace my Cat6 cables that I routed around the attic? Of all of my 8 IP cameras, only 1 survived and my new POE switch reports faults on like 5-8 cables (yellow light) and only 1 port is green, the only surviving ip camera. Should I test my cables or just...

Awesome! I have seen this one but never knew if it was the one I was referred to, price is great!

Thanks! That makes sense and I definitely want to save space. How about this one...(searched in ebay when typing 4216-4k) it came up in Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282019367082

I must have looked at the wrong one, due to cost. Do you have a recommendation for a Dahua NVR that is almost like the 4216-4K, just a tad bit cheaper? I don't think I will be going past 3mp MAYBE 4mp.

Nice I like SmartPSS but had no idea you could manage the nvr from it. The trigger/home automation sounds like an awesome setup! I have the lite version on iOS of the iDMSS so that explains my woes!

Thats a perfect replacement, just the right price also. What programs/apps do you use to get into the cameras live view? I like iDMSS lite so far, but if something can allow me to rewind/playback that would awesome. Also, you mentioned the notifications from your house automation when...

Hello, I had a lightning storm that took out all 7 of my 8 Dahua's (4-1320s bullets, 4-4421Cs) and I'm thinking of just going all 4421Cs unless I research further for the need of bullets over turrets. The NVR that recorded my video is an ION-16 NVR from Nelly's. Its okay...kind of clunky and...

No I'm from Texas. We had a typical storm but lightning actually hit my pecan tree in my backyard. Killed 7 of 8 cameras, my poe switch, router, modem, tv, xbox one etc...now all I need to replace is the 7 cameras.

Is there a non-SD version of this one that is still all metal housing? I have the IPC-HDW4431C-A version but I need to replace 4 of them due to lightning killing them along with my 1320S bullets :( I love the audio of the IPC-HDW4431C-A but only the actual camera is metal and not the housing...

Cool I have the plastic version $80 version non-SD card one. Are we able to cut off the power cable if we are going to use POE only? Its a pain to gram into the housing since I don't reel it through the entire area I have them.

Hi Milkisbad - I'd like a catalog please. Really appreciate it thanks.

I read somewhere that at the moment when my ISP changes the IP (recycles after 6months/year/etc) that it would affect my cameras...maybe I read it all wrong...but DHCP does sound infinitely easier to deal with verses me having to do this each time lightning kills my camera :O

Should I go ahead and unmount each camera and plug them with a new cat6 cable into the new Prosafe JGS516PE switch to see which are dead? I did find it odd that only 4/5 of 8 cameras actually showed up on the new switch and as POE faults to make things worse... how else could I test if these...

So we had a typical storm the other day and this one included a lightning strike to our backyard tree and at the same time, created a surge that killed a my POE switch, tv, modem, router, etc. I recently got my replacement POE switch, modem and router all new....so obviously my IPs have changed...

Nice NVR...you are leaps/bounds above where I want to be. Does that nvr send a pic when motion is detected?

What do you use SmartPSS besides just casual viewing? I love SmartPSS but it seems like a PC/MAC only type of NVR similar to BI (less features). I have an ION NVR but its less user friendly than SmartPSS. I'd love to set it to record and be done with it, but I would probably need to leave my mac...

I'm still have a little dilemma with a couple things on my ION 16 nvr. My NVR is still trying to stream at previous settings that my IP cameras may have been on. Since I've changed the IP camera settings, the ION is still showing previous settings. Also due to this, my playback (when downloaded)...

Hi Sean, its me again. I returned the ION NVR 8 and upgraded it to the ION NVR 16. Its been better, and I haven't exported the video playback yet...(installed today), but only 4 of 5 "connected" cameras are viewing, one camera in particular is a red x and when I mouse over it, it gives this...
