    Best Dahua Front Door Camera recommendation 2025

    I agree with wittaj, unless you need face detection I think this camera is the best with 2 way talk, dual mic pickup, alarm and a large CMOS. The night time image is amazing with 1/1.8 with the F1.0 for observation and detection and the ability to turn on the LED or warm lights automatically...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    You will want the PFA203 for that cam. The difference is where the mounting holes are drilled out for the different cameras.

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    You will need 1/8" hole for the cable if using a mount or a 7/8" hole to fit the connector into, if you use a PFA203 or 205 they look a lot better than a direct mount or a PFA130 on a flat wall.

    2024 EmpireTech Thanksgiving Day Sales& Black Friday &Christmas Sales- Winter Sales

    The issue on the soffit mount is not a 70° limit as the camera does not have a limit. The issue is that on a low mount (ranch house) when you tilt the camera up, the sun shield hits the mount so you can't aim it high enough. I used a PFA121, (tapped some 4mm holes) because the PFA124 was not...

    How to setup dahua NVR

    Not sure what Dahua NVR you use but they all are pretty much the same for setting up. You can connect with the LAN ip address and use a PC but you will be missing many features that a monitor connected directly will have. Here are a couple vids on setting up and using.

    X-Span series

    Testing out the new X-Spans series camera, one of the drawbacks of a PTZ for me is that most of them have a pretty narrow field of view. One way to overcome this is to use a trigger cam to call up the PTZ to a preset, so it can auto track after a IVS rule is established and tripped on the PTZ...

    IVS trouble, sideways Color4K-T

    The FD is face detection.. works very well with this camera. I tested IVS with target filter on and off and it seems to be working correctly when in a normal position.

    IVS trouble, sideways Color4K-T

    This was only a test for cj500 (OP) to see if the camera tripped when at a 90° angle for this T-4k, I would never set a camera up this way. It didn't matter how may tripwires or intrusions were set, when the camera is at full tilt the AI is totaly unreliable in this type of set up. For me at...

    IVS trouble, sideways Color4K-T

    I tested the color 4kT and the IVS can work, but NOT very well when turned sideways, more the angle the less responsive it is. I was only able to trip it a couple of times when at a full 90° angle. To get IVS to trigger I had to place the camera in its normal position and set off the IVS rule...

    Dahua NVR AI Search

    Missing the face detection option in my NVR dahua

    If your smart plan does not have FD for that camera, than the camera in not capable of that feature. You would either need a different camera or a AI NVR that allows a few channels to do FD by the recorder.

    smartpss always showing offline when connected by LAN

    How did you add the cameras to smart PSS on your clients PC, with SN or by ip address? Is it the same with your laptop?? Make sure the password / SN or IP is correct on the client PC under devices.

    IVS by Recorder

    I have just set up a test for IVS by recorder and I was able to get the IVS to trip when I turned down the sensitivity to 1 and have both directions enabled. It was not very reliable and only tripped a few times, I also tried to turn off the target filter. It definitely does not work as good as...

    6AE830VNI Setup

    This was a top of the line PTZ just a few years ago but compaired to todays PTZ's this is EOL. It does have a great image with a good zoom, although you may not be able to view this cam with a newer browser and may need to use IE as the FW updates has been long been abandoned. This was my...

    EmpireTech NV41AI-8P-4KH or NVR8CH-AI

    It is always best to enable the AI on the camera and you will much happier with the NVR8CH-AI. FYI the 8P with have the PoE switch in the NVR and all the camera cables will need to go back to the NVR and the non (xP) you will need your own PoE switch to power the cameras.

    DMSS on android live view camera sequence

    I do not think you are able to save the live view sequence the way you want in the dmss app like you can in the NVR layout. You have to remove the cameras in the NVR camera list and then add them in the order you want them to appear. You can then choose what NVR is on top.

    Dahua AcuPick

    I have been testing, installing and playing around with the new AI AcuPick feature on the new nvr's / cams for a while and my opinion for home use, it is worthless. I would not upgrade for this feature alone. It does work for a higher mounted camera, I have just not found much use for it even...

    Using smart PSS (or DMSS) to move the wiper

    No Aux for me either, do you have the latest PSS version? The older PSS required a aux # and you can use it in the NVR but I forgot what it was..
