    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    So if I wanted wide open access from VPN to IOT, I would need similar Firewall rules to WAN_Local?

    Passwords wrong on cameras connected to NVR

    Cameras plugged in to a Dahua NVR take the NVR passwords when you configure them. If that doesn’t work, reset and re-set up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    CC, need a little help with my EdgerouterX. VLAN's are all setup (guest, IOT) and Guest/IOT are blocked from the main network, and I can access form the main to the Guest/IOT. What I can't figure out is how to access the IOT when on VPN. Is this something you can provide some guidance on?

    Looking for feedback and testing of my Dahua Home Assistant integration (via HACS)

    Has anyone found a way to turn of email notifications on an NVR? It would be great to have a toggle to prevent 5M photos when out doing yard work!

    That's it. I'll need to go test it, but it wasn't ticked there. Thanks.

    Dahua - Email Pictures

    SmartPSS mainly. But if I go through the web browser, there is only a link to open the camera via the "Camera" IP address, unless I am missing a settings page. It seems to me there was a setting buried somewhere that you had to tick off each channel that you wanted emails sent from. For the...

    Negative. I can check and uncheck the email setting and see it change on both SmartPSS and vice versa on the camera.

    Dahua - Email Pictures

    I'll give that a try. I just looked at the NVR and it is in fact saving snapshots of the "detected" items. Just won't email them, so I know it is detecting properly.

    Dahua - Email Pictures

    I am getting around to replacing some of my 5231's with 5442's to eliminate some of the false alerts I've been receiving (snow, rain, etc.) Existing cameras (for the most part) are sending emails with pictures, but for the life of me, I can't get the new camera to send. Yes, the "attachment" box...

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X - Configuring to Isolate Surveillance Networks

    @guykuo, great writeup. I was wondering if you couldn't create a Firewall/NAT Group with your security camera IP's and then create a firewall rule in WAN_Local (I think that is the right one vs. WAN_IN) to reject all connections from that Group? While not isolated on a VLAN, it would prevent...

    Expanding Dahua NVR for Remote Cameras with 5GHz Radio Link

    I know it is Alaska and digging may be difficult due to rock, but 200' is not all that far for ethernet wire. Assuming you could dig/get to where you want to be, you could bury a 1" conduit and pull a couple of ethernet cables or even a fiber (which would give you the most bandwidth).

    Normal, Day, Night Profiles for Dahua Cameras

    AFAIK, that camera doesn't have onboard IR illuminators and I'm not sure it has an IR cut filter either. You will need to provide external lighting to get any usable night time picture.

    Dahua Camera - pings for a bit then seems to restart

    I just had the same thing happen. Depending on the camera, you can use TFTP to get the firmware on the camera. See this thread for guidance. I'm by no means an expert, but after reading the thread (and successor thread) I was able to get it working.

    FYI: Weather Station LUX/UV sensor for day/night events

    If you are using Home Assistant, you can make an Automation using the Sun Angle as well. This turns on some string lights via a Z-Wave switch when the Sun is 1 degree below the horizon, but you could use it to fire any action available. Especially if you are using the Dahua Integration alias...

    Latest new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707

    Upgraded 3 of my 5231's. One didn't like it and I had to do a TFTP recovery on it (which was interesting as it was giving "no dr command found"). But it is all good now.

    Looking for feedback and testing of my Dahua Home Assistant integration (via HACS)

    I can confirm (not surprisingly), that this is working on the 5231/2231 and 4231FP-AS cameras as well. Thanks for the great integration. Hopefully this can make its way to official!

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    I upgraded one of my cameras from V2.800.0000008.0.R to V2.800.0000016.0.R. Factory reset to defaults before the upgrade and upgraded from camera interface. It didn't go well and it wouldn't recover via TFTP, but I was successful via the serial connection. I tried an older camera that complains...

    New SmartPSS win64

    What model number camera do you have? Can you view the image by directly going to the web page? My bet is there different encoding, bit rate, or some other issue that is causing issues. If you can relocate one of the working cameras to a non-working location and see if that works, that would...

    For some reason, mine just refuses to start now (worked fine for years). When it opens, it beeps 3X, but the app is nowhere to be found (not showing in task manager nor as an icon at the bottom). Uninstall fails as well and I've tried a system restore, but it still won't run. I'm stumped. And...

    Unable to change IP of Dahua IP Cam

    I thought that once it configured, it defaulted to DHCP on reboot, but I may be wrong. Use ONVIF Device Manager to see if you can see it.

    IVS Intrusion area inconsistent

    @nelsonr, I just checked my 2231 and it doesn't have the calibration either (nor do my 5231's). Must be only available on newer cameras. as @tigerwillow1 shows, I'm sure this is the issue.
