The dahua starlight and other cams have built in sd card slots. I have put some 64gb cards into some of my cameras. Was reading an article and it never occurred to me to look at max write cycles. Any concerns about the max write lifetime cycles for the sd cards? I have a few types in my...

This is a review of the 8mp NON-Starlight HDW5830R-Z camera. I will also do some side by side comparisons with a 2mp Starlight HDW5231R-Z. The camera is all metal and appears to be basically the same size as the starlight model. You will have to take it apart to insert an SD card. One big...

I've got nothing but starlights right now. I want to add a few more cameras. Right now my driveway and front porch are well light with LED lights that turn on automatically. I have my ir off on all cameras and Profiles seems like a broken feature and appears to do nothing so my cameras are in...

In the specs, I see for resolution: 1080P(1920x1080)/1.3M(1280x960)/ 720P(1280×720)/D1(704×576/704×480)/ VGA(640×480)/CIF(352×288/352×240) I also see: Main Stream: 1080P(1~50/60fps) Sub Stream: D1(1~50/60fps) Third Stream: 1080P(1~25/30fps) So Main,Sub1, and Sub2. In camera browser config...

I remember I had some of these poles laying around that somebody had left me from some old remodelling. Amazon.com: ZipWall ZP2 ZipPole 10-Foot Spring-Loaded Poles for Dust Barriers, 2-Pack: Home Improvement I screwed a small board to the top with just enough room to attach the camera and...

On the NON-POE nvrs, is the only difference between the 16 and the 32 firmware settings that enable an extra 16 more ip cameras? I'm use to seeing total fps but don't find those specs? I don't need 32 channels, but if the 32 channel version has a slightly better processor that would allow me...

I am wanting to mount to two cameras in a hidden enclosure down by the street sidewalk next to the neighborhood entrance to capture all traffic in and out. Hopefully I can grab license plates. Had some robberies lately and it would be nice to start capturing this. The cameras would be at ground...

I really want a quiet system. I'm not worried about spending a bit extra for more flexibility. I don't like that the POE version has more fans and plus, I would then have to run cables from the nvr to each camera versus running individual cables to separate 4 to 8 port poe switches at each...

Right now thinking of a NVR5216/5232-16P-4KS2. Then found some of their 'new' models with Smart H265. Seems like better compression and I would capture more time on same drives? Would this potentially also translate to higher recording framerates with more cameras?

Costco has a recurring deal every few weeks for the 16ch QC826 nvr with 12 4mp cameras. I currently have an old qsee analog system that has served me well for almost 7 years. The most common complaint, noise, was easily solved by taking it apart and unplugging the fans and I replaced with a...
