    Suggestions for Far AND Wide Camera Setup

    unsure if this might work for you. (its pretty new so you might have to wait) (dual sensor camera) https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/worlds-first-review-dahua-ipc-hfw8442-z4-d47-li-dual-sensor-micro-ptz-bullet.55294/ I suspect you would have better coverage and results with multiple cameras...

    202107 Latest New Version DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Nova_Eng_P/N_Stream3--IPC-HFW8232E-Z/ZE

    I too would love to see a firmware update for this camera that doesn't want flash.... kind of makes me regret getting the ulta in this case since it seems unloved by dahua. still seeing bugs with the 2.640.0000006.0.R, Build Date: 2019-06-27 firmware as well with the SD storage getting lost when...

    202107 Latest New Version DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Nova_Eng_P/N_Stream3--IPC-HFW8232E-Z/ZE

    smart codec goes by a lot of different names depending on the camera maker. in a nut shell it is designed to save bandwidth and storage space but reducing the amount of the image that needs to be sent with each frame. please note that on most Dahua cams that I am aware of, enabling the smart...

    202107 Latest New Version DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Nova_Eng_P/N_Stream3--IPC-HFW8232E-Z/ZE

    seems like it. FW is well behind many of their others that got fixes and upgrades while this one lags.

    @EMPIRETECANDY , should we assume this cam will never be flash free w/ a firmware update ?

    What's causing this issue?

    as already been mentioned but we need more details. is the image constantly like this or just some of the time? need the camera model resolution ? fps ? bit rate (has been mentioned but this might be it) are you using things that say : h264? h264h, h264+ , h265 h.265+ ..etc CBR/VBR ...

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    thanks for the update. unfortunate about the noise however. hopefully they can fix that in future releases. I _think_ seeing more noise in my IPC-HFW8232E-Z after the last FW update as well. hard to be 100% sure since I moved some things around ..etc and haven't tried going back to the older fw...

    Is Dahua the best bang for the buck?

    do you have less digital noise with the B5442 than with the 8232's ? I've got to run, IMO, a LOT of 3d NR to make the 8232 a palatable driveway cam at night with a lot of carriage lighting and a strreet light within ~ 150 feet.

    New camera, which one?

    @Avlund you aren't going to get all that in a single inexpensive performant camera package. you are going to need to pick your priorities and focus on doing those well and probably giving up others. i'll assume you focus is capturing images around your home, outside , probably at night...

    VPN on router or Synology NAS?

    interesting i'll start scanning my logs more closely but i've not had stability issue with that package on a disk station that I have in the wild still running it.

    Are camera's useful anymore for theft?

    the mental gymnastics of this post are astounding. the number of false assertions and fundamentally flawed thinking displayed here in such few words is impressive. promoting the idea that you should try and cripple someone first , as a plan/goal, is legally dubious in all jurisdictions I know...

    Do you really need a NVR with a small deployment

    to answer the question from @agent0 , I think getting 'something' (VMS or NVR) to store the feeds from the cameras is a very good idea. beyond say SD cards in the cameras. @agent0, you should NOT be reverse proxy'ing to anything; you should have a vpn back to the 'site' that has the cameras...

    @Todd Schmidt , which vpn were you using on the disk station ? (there are more than one, beyond the docker do_whatever side).

    Outdoor night vision cameras and rodents ASAP

    @Peek any updates? if you can rent a thermal camera like they use to check for insulation leaks in houses, maybe you can find where the vermin are in the walls/roof/..etc

    Better performance?

    try setting you bit rate to custom and run something closer to 40960 to see if that helps at all. if it does you can look to see about what number works best for you that might be lower but this is just to see if smooths things out.

    New Firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000013.0.R.191202.zip

    unsure if dahua is going to have that functionality in their units, but the tech could easily do that as well.

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Support in Synology Surveillance Station

    as a DS916+ owner, that mostly does backups and archives, I can say that Surveillance Station support for dahua cameras is pretty basic at best. and that's me being generous. I am using to see how things go with some cameras, and I do pester synology support to make it better but I'm not...

    Anyone played with a Dahua Radar connected to their PTZ ?

    you should verify in your specif locale if you are going to run em, but in most places you should be below the legal limits based on my googling. there are other consumer devices that operate in this same frequency with similar power output that don't require a license to operate in the united...
