    Displaying motion in iDMSS Plus

    Currently I have my Dahua IP camera recording 24/7 to SD card. Is there any way to have the motion events displayed in different color in the timeline so I could easily skip to them, while keeping the 24/7 recording on.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    So the Mac is basically acting as a SMB server, but the camera does not connect to it. How could I try to troubleshoot this? The schedule tab is not so clear, if I mark everything green, does it record all the time? And what's the difference between motion and alarm? Is there any recommended...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    How to configure this camera to continuously record to Mac SMB share? I tried with no luck, no errors but the camera doesn't connect. And additionally: what is the correct way to configure it to record to SD card continously? No motion detection.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    If I don't need the varifocal, does there exist any cheaper model from Dahua? Why are so many people even wanting the varifocal, since it costs a lot extra?

    Switch from NVR to BlueIris?

    I think the remote use should work fine , however, if you download large amount of files, that can be slow. But remote watching them should be okay.

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Okay, thanks... would I be fine running 5-6 4MP cameras recording 24/7 without motion detection with i5-3470? What would be a "maximum" amount of cameras for that processor? I know it's hard to say specific, but just a rough estimate would be nice =)

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Thx to both again. :) yeah, sorry for not being specific. I just meant to ask, would it be fine with Ivy Bridge (i5-3470, which seems to support quick sync but not H264 which most Hikvision cameras use??) or would I really benefit from a Haswell one? I may not even be able find a ready-installed...

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Okay, perhaps this one, i5-3470? https://www.vstore.fi/tuote/528/dell_optiplex_9010/ (that is a site selling used business systems) Wikipedia says about Haswell: "This generation of Quick Sync supports the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1 and H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 video standards." are these...

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Ok, thx a lot for advice. I wasn't aware of these drawbacks.. I've seen your recommendations on i5 refurbished business systems, however, those aren't sold in Finland unfortunately. So do you have any recommendation in my situation? :/

    Blue Iris Hardare Requirements

    Yeah, but it's still a Xenon processor. Anyhow, would it be possible to replace it with an i5 for example?

    help... wont connect... new to all of this....

    PSPCommOp has excellent points mentioned, thanks! wiz9, I think the picture quality of those systems is often just 720p and you cannot add many cameras more. If you don't want to have a computer, a NVR is your choice. (Actually it is a computer as well, just in different shape :D) For example...

    What do you use for password management?

    Definitely 1Password, I think it's the most popular option and I also use it personally daily. Mobile apps are excellent and receive frequent updates. They nowadays have hosting as well. https://1password.com/teams/pricing/

    Buying a camera

    Nice comparison pictures, thank you a lot! :) Does Dahua have official iOS app for that camera? And can I play the recordings from SD card with the app? And one more- does the web UI require some browser extensions or can it be used on a Mac with Safari for example?

    Thanks for reply. Forgot to mention that I don't want to update the firmware (because the issues it may generate) - I'm just looking for a great price. This camera is going to be used without NVR, recording just to the SD card.
