    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks for your comments David and for help. I really appreciate it. A brief update to this weird behavior I wrote earlier: I contacted Reolink support. Reolink first said that there is nothing which could make these marking to log and suggested that it is due to my network setup. But...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Qnap I have 10 cams all running 20-30fps in 4K at very high bitrate. Would need an extremely powerful computer farm to run BI for all of those simultaneously which would need a small power plant to run that computer system and cost a fortune. FTP to NAS has been fine for now. These smart cams...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    The switch is Ubiquiti USW-Pro-48-Poe with the newest firmware (and control software is also the newest publicly available version). All ports in use (48x1G+4x10G). 10+ ports are feeding PoE/+/++ power to devices. These Reolink PoE doorbells are the only devices that does this...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I had no time to read all the replies in thread so sorry if this has been already discussed. I did find nowhere any explanation. For some time I have been wondering why, according to the log of my switch, my 3y old Reolink PoE doorbell connects/disconnect from the switch more than dozen times...

    Hik DS-2CD2085FWD-I dead?

    Yeah. So it seems. :mad: But still, I am really curious how it is possible that this thing works for years and now it works fine only after hard reset. I would accept it if hard reset with default setup but I can put all my parameters in and everything works like a charm like 4k/30fps video...

    Hik DS-2CD2085FWD-I dead?

    I have tried it with an old 5e cable and with another brand new Cat7 cable. Both about 33ft (10m). They are really good quality cables both. In addition I connected cam directly to my switch with 6ft cable (2m) and the same issue. I would be ready to claim that this is not about the cable. And...

    Hik DS-2CD2085FWD-I dead?

    Thanks for the info. I did find the reset button from under the door and I reset the cam. Reconnected everything and changed all the parameters similar to my other hiks. Everything works like in the good old days. BUT when I disconnected the Hik to mount it again to the original place and...

    Hik DS-2CD2085FWD-I dead?

    My old war horse a few years old Hik 2085FWD stopped to respond completely. It seems that it is out of the power, but it actually is not. Weird thing. The camera has been mounted inside my warm garage in about constant temperature of about 18C all year around. No direct day light, no rain...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Someone in hacker news is saying that "... firmware of all of them - yes all of them, including the EU/US premium vendors - is insecure crap ...". And the dude specifically mention this model. Link. Any comments about this? Because in here you recommended this camera I ordered a few from Andy...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    They truly are Bold answers. :D Some comments to your answers: 1) PAL/NTSC 25/30 but my questions is/was that can this camera produce 30fps regardless of selected TV system or does it depend on the selected system (frequency). This PAL/NTSC is "old school" with analog signals. It should not...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    In both videos I like 30fps best. The movement is natural. My questions in original msg to this thread concerned this IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED camera which I am about to buy. Anyone? You wanted to talk about fps (which itself was interesting, thank you for that).

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    The processors of integrated systems (like CCTVs) are not 100% utilized all the time. That is impossible because then the software would not run smoothly and something important like AI is dropped off. If not frames but analyzing and using AI from the streams. They are calculated so that like...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    My drone is 4k 60fps/120fps, computers/monitors are all 4k 60fps and 120fps, TVs are 4k 120fps (OLED), dashcam is 60fps, tablets (Tab S8 Ultra) are 120fps, ... everything is 4k 60fps if possible. Not because I need but because I want. ;) Present 4k CCTVs are 20fps and fast movement in the yard...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    I have now after long waiting desided to order 3-4 of these DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED (possibly the Andys' unbranded ones Color4k-X). I have waited for the prices to come down but it seems that they are not. It seems that Dahua rather EOL and sell the stocks out than just lower the prices when...

    Help needed with the installation of camera system (NAS+proxy)

    Interesting. NVR tech is new to me because I have always preferred client/server because of flexibility of resources. So you are saying that basically I can squeeze 90M separate streams to one 128K stream by using this zero channel transmit? That would be interesting. Probably it can be...

    Help needed with the installation of camera system (NAS+proxy)

    Thanks for the proposition. It is true that fps naturally cause high need of bandwidth. Resolution is the worst bandwidth hog and fps is the second worst. Still, there are couple of "buts" in your suggestion: 1) Firstly higher shutter speed means darker picture. I would need better lights. All...

    Help needed with the installation of camera system (NAS+proxy)

    Thank you very much for your answer. First of all there is no specific NVR device (if you mean NVR as a separate dedicated recording device). The cameras record at the moment directly to HDD (shared folders in Qnap). Working but the issue is the throttled bandwide. If the line would be faster...

    Help needed with the installation of camera system (NAS+proxy)

    Hi, I think I have managed to create too complex setup for my experience. I really would like to hear some advice. I have asked around a lot about this and no proper solutions yet. In my summer house I have at the moment 6 Hikvision 8MP 2085FWD-I cameras. The estate is in the middle of...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Maybe overthinking. I would call it rather risk management. Willingness to take a risk. Still, why to take extra risks with the most valuable asset you have in modern life, Data? Your data or you as a Data. They say that "Curiosity killed the cat". Why do you install alpha/beta versions from...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Every sw/hw is a risk even if you have coded the software yourself as a professional because the platform itself may be Swiss cheese. But why to take any extra risks with the cameras with unknown "Andy" from China (now ask "Andy" what is his real Chinese name. I am 100% sure that it is not...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Hi HTH, thanks for the clarification. Please allow me to speculate a bit. Combination of China and "special version" just sounds to me a bit suspicious. I do not know Andy in person and therefore I do not know his motives and backgrounds. What "bothers" me a bit is that if he is allowed to get...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    True. That was not politically correct. Hope the Great Wall blocked that part. ;) I hope he does not start a riot because of my writing while pooring down booze to reset the old years' pricing troubles from his mind. Sorry about the a bit harsh approach of my msg to my pricing problems. Still, u...

    Does anyone know where in EU these IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED cameras are available as cheap as possible. The cameras must be Dahua branded genuine international versions. The local dealers here in Finland are selling this model with extraordinary high prices which are out of this world and in...

    Odd Saturday morning behavior.

    According to the video it was a hot summer day (?) He is obviously looking for shadow. I bet that backbag is heavy and he have carried it a long way in the sun. And most of all, do you see him drinking water? That behavior is typical for dehydrated person. Yes he need help. Water and cooling.

    Time for a new surveillance system: Help needed

    Nice founds Happycat. I definitely want to test out that auto-save auto-batch. Still mkvmerge is a tool I have used before for other purposes and it has decent GUI too if needed. Still a tiny doubt how it can read cams 264/265 files. I have been thinking many times of buying cams and/or gadgets...

    Time for a new surveillance system: Help needed

    Mic/Speaker/doorbell combination for 2132F-IS ?

    Thanks fenderman for the answer. So it seems that there are many sound related threads. Did not do the search carefully enough. Sorry about that. But you know these mic/sound/alarm connections and the solutions are very essential part of modern Hik cameras and therefore I suggest you fenderman...

    Mic/Speaker/doorbell combination for 2132F-IS ?

    I just received a brand new 2132F-IS and looks like a nice piece of electronics. My previous cams have been dahuas but but now wanted to try Hik because of more sophisticated sw. The main function of this camera is security and surveillance. This Hik is going to watch my whole front yard where...
