    Need Professional Grade 24/7 No Hassle Outdoor Camera

    Dahua has been stable for us for 2years. 30x zoom day, night, snow, rain. Remote locale, ptz style. You say professional and then you say you are not funded and have a $350 camera currently. That is not professional. Professional is enterprise level and expect to pay far more than $350. 4k is...

    Dahua Video (*.DAV) Playback in Mac OSX

    I had that same issue Mikey Roszbach. In my opinion Dahua has done a really poor job providing english documentation and making it user friendly. I had a good amount of experience and ran into nothing but roadblocks with Dahua software and NVR. I switched to Blue Iris and it was night day...

    IVS setup help

    Ok, got one browser to work. Have to use IE and not Edge. The icons look the same so I thought i was on it. Then you have to go into windows settings display and not scale and say 100% and it works. Can not get this to work on any Mac browser. You must have Windows.

    Your experience with NVR vs PC (Blue Iris, etc.) using Dahua cameras?

    If you want I can log into your machine with TeamViewer and you can watch and I can optimize your system for you. If you don't like the changes you can put them back easily. There is a good chance that would improve your experience.

    Your experience with NVR vs PC (Blue Iris, etc.) using Dahua cameras?

    I can not agree more with fender man. And he really knows his stuff. There is absolutely nothing on the Dahua NVR that I am missing or can't do with BI. IVS is not the end all be all. BI has features similar and with more flexibility and options. If you don't want to loose IVS, you can still...

    How can I trigger a siren or strobe light with BI

    I hooked up a very loud siren and strobe to a wifi plug. When I see something on my cameras that look like a threat, I can simply open the wifi plug app and turn on my alarm remotely from anywhere in the world.
