    Is there a trick to doing tripwire with the new GUI?

    Same thing here. I just try over and over again until I've managed to create something that still works...

    EmpireTech 2024 Spring Sales

    The lottery is great fun. Especially if you win something! :p Highly recommended! Which I did several times so I'm hesistating. In case I win something; I really don't need any more camera's and selling it feels wrong.

    EmpireTech 2023 Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday Sales Nov.20-24th

    Managed to install the camera on Friday, just in time for Christmas. I went from 1 5231 in October 2017 to now 4 camera's around the house. Might have to get a bigger HDD for the NVR too, 4 camera's (including 3 4MP ones) takes a lot more storage than 1 2MP one. Took the opportunity to reroute...

    EmpireTech 2023 Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday Sales Nov.20-24th

    I received my IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 last Monday. Now I'm trying to install it, running network cable to it. This house (1979, concrete, bricks etc.) was not built for 2023-like ethernet everywhere:rolleyes:...

    Smart camera, smart NVR, or both?

    My winning streak with Andy is pushing me into these "problems" as well. :p I just won an IPC-T54IR-ZE and last time also an IPC-T54IR-ZE. Before that a 4MP Lite camera and my own 'old' 5231ZE. My NVR4116HS-4KS2 has a decoding capability of 8 channels @ 1080p (30fps) That probably/maybe equals...

    Recommendation for Animal detection

    See my attached screenshot above. There was no 'animal detection' or anything like it before. All camera's would trigger just because something moved. Newer camera's should still work like that if that checkbox in that screenshot is unchecked, but checking/unchecking that checkbox does nothing...

    Any NVR with vehicle/human detection under $300?

    I'm not smart enough to know enough about this, but why haven't Dahua/Hikvision used AI-hardware in their NVR's? I mean; I don't use Blue Iris but I believe you can use the Coral TPU with that to significantly reduce CPU load. The same with Frigate and also Camect. (and probably more...

    Latest new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707

    One 5442ZE is running V2.840.15OG00D.0.R, Build Date: 2022-08-18. Yesterday I installed a new 5442ZE S3 version with V3.100.0000000.5.R, Build Date: 2023-05-09. They are both installed next to the 5231R-ZE. But we haven't had animals last night so I can't comment on that. Ah, here we have a...

    Latest new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707

    Just triggers for the camera to record on the build-in SD-card. I also record 24/7 on a NVR and so also triggers on the 24/7 timeline. I rarely use camera notifications on my phone.

    Latest new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707

    My IPC-HDW5231R-ZE is running V2.800.0000013.0.R, Build Date: 2019-12-02. Newest firmware is V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707, will the camera's IVS still trigger on non humans/vehicles like it does now, or does the newer firmware screw that up? I have this camera installed right next to a...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    I received the IPC-HDW5442T-ZE S3 (from Andy's lottery) and I have it temporarily next to the 'old' one. With the exact video settings the image is indeed a touch brighter. But I haven't dialed in exactly, so... The new UI finally looks like something from the 21st century but of course you...

    Monday afternoon shipped from Shenzen, delivered this morning (Thursday) in The Netherlands. Again, fast shipping man! (by the way; tracking is cool; I could literally track which aircraft took it from Guangzhou to Cologne. (Fedex flight 5030 with Boeing 777F N893FD) :p And it's the S3 model...

    Meanwhile when you're there, could you tell them to fix the problem with the (newer) camera's IVS still not triggering on non-humans/vehicles when those checkboxes are unchecked? ;)

    IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 SD-card erro

    Here I'm back again with SD-card issues. I'm about to install my IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 (that I won from Andy; see: IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 - Dahua Technology) but the camera is giving me SD-card errors. I use a brand new SD-card and formatted on my laptop before installing it in the camera but the...

    Hey Andy. I'm looking for the PFB203W mount (for the camera I won from you!). I live in the EU. You don't use Aliexpress for us in the EU anymore and your new website doesn't ship to EU (yet?). Email is now the only way to buy from you?

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    So probably a good idea to format the SD-card on my laptop before placing it in the camera and then another format through the camera's webinterface, just to be sure. The reset did mess things up. It got the same IP-adress as the 5442 and all things went wrong. These things/problems take years...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    Well, I managed to make some progress. I factory reset the 5231 and now the IVS events get to the NVR. I haven't installed the SD card yet, that's something for tomorrow. Hopefully that'll work.

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    Removed the SD-card from the 5231 and rebooted. Still the same issue. No IVS triggers comes throught towards the NVR.

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE SD-card (and other) issues

    My camera is giving me more problems. 2 days ago (August 29) I changed 2 things. Around 15:00 in the afternoon, I removed an old IVS tripwire rule and replaced it with a new one (landscaping changed so I had to change the rules). Every setting I got right, I verified it also with another camera...
