    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I noticed that in some screenshots for other NVRs, there is a display of bitrates of all the cameras in unused channels like this one at the bottom 4: I don't seem to be able to find a setting for it in 5216. So is it possible to do the same in 5216 rather than the Dahua logos?

    Dahua vs Lorex system (IPC-HFW5830E-Z LNB8973BW)

    The IVS features work fine with H.265 in 5231.

    If I have security cameras, do I still need a Ring Doorbell?

    The whole point of answering the doorbell in real time is to give the impression that your ARE home - tell the person that you are busy and cannot come to the door, or not interested in whatever excuses they came up with on ringing your door. So yes, the 2 way audio is the main reason I...

    P2P stopped working using cellular network

    My initially thought was that it was related to cell phone network access, but actually, it did not work anywhere outside my home wifi network using P2P. And it was caused by a bug in the iDMSS App. They just released 3.51.001 today to fix this bug. Updated the App, and the problem is gone.

    IDMSS Lite - App Not Working

    Just realized that they released v3.51.001 today to fix this bug. Update the App in App Store and it now works using P2P again.

    IDMSS Lite - App Not Working

    Are you using P2P to access your NVR? My guess is that you are using VPN to access yours? My iDMSS Plus has stopped working when using P2P. I made a post in the NVR forum - initially I thought it was related to using cell phone data network, but now I realize it would not work anywhere...

    P2P stopped working using cellular network

    I have NVR 5216-16P-4KS2 and have been using iDMSS on my iPhone successfully with both P2P and VPN connection for the past few months. In the past few days, I was not able to access the video using P2P when on LTE data. Strangely, the P2P works fine when using my home WiFi, but once I turned...

    where to place / hide NVR?

    I think it is much simpler if you make sure that you select an IP cam with microSD card feature, and just put an endurance microSD in each cam as a backup. So even if the NVR is stolen, you still a back up video in each cam. You can check whether the LaView system has it.

    Idmss push notifications "failed to subscribe"

    Does the IVS in the iDMSS related to the camera's IVS? It seems to me that the iDMSS IVS does not use the intrusion area drawn in my camera's IVS setup; and you are allowed to select totally different type of IVS than your camera setup.

    Lost capability by using POE?

    It is now possible with the newest firmware for some NVR: Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE My NVR certainly has NTP timesync, and it seems to time sync with all the cameras automatically. I don't see this as a major consideration factor any more now with the link to...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    There are two silica gel packs inside the camera housing. What is the recommended thing to do? Leave it in or take it out? Does the camera lens barrel move during zooming? One pack is next to the lens.

    Cameras with Built-in ANPR or LPR function

    There are a few reasons. First, there is the confusion caused by the fact that it does not have LPR function out of the box. And this function is not advertised in the product description or specification in Hikvision web site. There are even different versions of the camera brochure, one...

    DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZ/P :: ANPR :: LPR

    Actually, I have discussed about this particular camera in a thread I posted not too long ago: Cameras with Built-in ANPR or LPR function One important caveat is that out of the box, the camera may not have LPR function, as it requires special LRP firmware. If you did not buy it from...

    Hikvision Product Comparison

    It is now empty again. You should not allow edit from anyone - it won't work. After you restore to your intended version, click on the share button in top right corner, in the "Anyone with link 'can edit'", change the 'can edit' to 'can view'. This way, people can view but cannot change...

    Cameras with Built-in ANPR or LPR function

    Actually, using the WebUI and the camera alone, it would work as a LPR setup. You just need to attach a microSD card (up to 128GB). With the microSD card, you can optionally upload a white list and black list into the camera. And the camera would save a list of license plates complete with...

    Cameras with Built-in ANPR or LPR function

    I wonder why there is little discussion on cameras with built-in ANPR or LPR function. Hikvision has some cameras like DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS (Darkfighter) & DS-2CD4A25FWD-IZS (Lightfighter) with LPR function and 8-32mm lens option. The LPR looks pretty impressive on youtube video. The...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Arjun, what you are doing is called spamming this thread. Just count the number of posts you made in the past few days in this thread alone. This thread is not about you and your order. Please don't do this again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Would the IPC- HFW5231E-Z be affected as well? Is there any way to test for this vulnerability ourselves?

    DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZ with Onboard LPR/ANPR(License Plate Recognition)

    Does Lightfighter work fine in night time LPR? Would Darkfighter work better for night time LPR? As I understand, there is more of a problem of license plate over exposure than inadequate illumination. As I cannot get any confirmation from Aliexpress sellers that they have LPR firmware, may...

    DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZ with Onboard LPR/ANPR(License Plate Recognition)

    Does anyone know any aliexpress seller is selling this camera with LPR firmware? I read that the LPR needs special firmware and does not come as default. Thanks in advance.

    License plate cam

    Hi nayr: Can you comment whether SD49225T-HN would work in my case? 120-125ft at 35 degree? Have you tested any of those dedicated LPR cam?

    License plate cam

    I am also looking at buying a cam for LPR and not sure what to get. The cam needs to capture license plate about 125ft away at 35 degree angle. Is SD49225T-HN a good choice? How about Huisun Mini PTZ 10x? (Though all sellers are selling this in lot of 10 at Aliexpress...) And I see some...
