    DHI-NVR4108-P-4KS2 firmware update

    Well, the NVR is working fine so if the new firmware doesn't have some major/usefull improvement; probably not going to do that.

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    I would love to see a dual sensor/lens/180 version of the IPC-T54IR-AS-S3/IPC-Color4M-T. The current 180 models require visible LED or enough natural light to work; I don't like visible LED's and don't have enough light. (Funnily enough; my T54IR camera's switch to B/W much sooner at the end of...

    Must be "interesting" times for businesses like you right now..to put it mildly... He sort of did; Andy has a Amazon.de store: Amazon.de But not much in stock though... Personally; I would love it if we could buy from his online store directly instead of email. But in the end; for us EU...

    Is this going to effect prices for EU customers? Anyway; my price got delivered this morning! Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY :thumb: That's only 2 days shipping! :wow: And I was able to track the very airplane going from Guangzhou to Bangalore, Dubai and finally Liege. AVgeek in me was happy.

    EmpireTech 2025 Spring Sales March.18th-23rd

    6th place winner! Another T54IR S3, this time the fixed lens. I might swap an older 5231 ZE with this one. Always interested in a "full color" or T180 camera so will continue to take part in the lottery until I win one! Ha! ;) As for specifying lens choice for the camera I won, I just reply on...

    Dahua Turret as bird camera

    Well, I have some progress. I have opened up the camera. Separting the 'bal' from the base was tricky until I found the way how; then the base went off right away. I removed the glue from the lens and now I can indeed refocus the lens. And I'm able to focus in really close; like 10cm. from the...

    Dahua Turret as bird camera

    Yes, those topics gave me the idea to refocus this camera. But I'm wondering if it will even be able to focus thát close to the camera. It needs to focus to, let's say, 10-20cm. at most.

    Dahua Turret as bird camera

    I have a spare IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2; this one: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Discontinued-Products/Network-Cameras/IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2=S2 I don't have a real use for it (at the moment) and I've been thinking of using it as a camera in a bird house. But obviously this would...

    Tempting. ;) But I just replaced a IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 (that I won with your lottery) with a T54IR-ZE-S3 (that I won). I've yet to find a use for the 2431 (birdhouse cam maybe; spring is around the corner). And there's also the older T54IR-ZE (non S3) that I ordered for family that's still in...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Firmware Upgrade - new features?

    So that 3rd option is basically used to exclude certain animals from triggering? So if you have cats, dogs and stone martens running around the house and you want to trigger for all animals except stone martens; you can use that option for that? It would be usefull in a slightly different way...

    Replace camera, keep NVR recordings

    Thanks. You're were right. In fact; I gave the new camera the same IP adress and login credentials (for convenience) and the NVR automatically picked it up and started recording again like nothing happened. The S3 will be a nice upgrade. That part of our yard was a "dead spot" since the S2 did...

    Replace camera, keep NVR recordings

    I have a NVR4116HS-4KS2 with several camera's, including 1 IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2. I want to replace that camera with a IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3. However, I would like the keep the NVR's recordings from this camera. I haven't tried it, but I think if I... add the S3 camera to the NVR (on say channel 5)...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Pretty big deal this, especially when you remember the Unifi Video saga... A 16ch Dahua NVR is about the same price as the Ubiquiti NVR. If they work well together, you could combine the best of both worlds; the superior Dahua camera's with the superior Ubiquiti NVR. (and Ubiquiti app/ecosystem).

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    I must say, the animal detection update has been working wonderfully. It's detecting more animals and/or is more sensitive to them than my old 5231. (Just last night; the 5231 did show a green box on a cat but did not trigger). But I must dial in the video settings (shutter etc.). I followed...

    S3 animal detection

    What's your IVS sensitivity? Default is 6 and on mine that seemed to little. I have it on 10 now and it triggers fine (as far as I know). At one location I have a S3 along with an older 5231 for the single reason the 5231 triggered on animals while the S3 didn't. So far on cats and birds. We...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    If you can't get it in black, you can probably plasti dip it. That seems (to me) a bit les difficult/permanent than painting it. Thank you. What is the improvement/difference between the first firmware (consisting of 2 .bin files) and this one? I can't find "Smart Codec" either, but I never...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Turned sensitivity to 10 instead of 6 and now it seems a lot better. No marters yet since, but it seems to be able to pick up cats better than 5231. I use my camera's with a NVR4116HS-4KS2 and it triggers just like any other IVS.

    We had several marters last night. Neither 5442 picked them up, the 5231 did.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Just installed the firmware on 2 camera's. I can verify it against animal detection on one since it right above a 5231. The other is at the back. Night here has begun so that's when I most see animals so now we'll wait... EDIT: when the camera's came back online after reboot, they were in color...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    YES!!! If that would work with all sort of animals (like cats, dogs, marters etc.) that would be great. We have stone martens here and I like knowing when they're around. We have several camera's around the house (2 5442 ZE S3, 1 2431T-AS S2 and my first ever Dahua 5231 ZE) and the only camera...
