    Review - Dahua IPC-HFW7442H-Z 4MP Ultra AI Varifocal Bullet Camera

    The goal is to place the vehicle snapshots (these have the ALPR metadata) in an archive in the cloud. This was working fine with the old firmware. I can't get the camera to upload to any FTP site reliably for these snapshots, the destinations I have tried are shared folders on PCs, Macs and...

    iOS app using all Storage - Versions14.6 and 14.7

    Is anyone else seeing the app take up all Storage over time? I am seeing this occur (even though the space consumed is reported at less than 3 GB in Settings --> General --> iPhone Storage) over about a week. Deleting the app and rebooting the phone frees up the Storage. I am seeing it on...

    How to setup Dahua IVS with BlueIris?

    IVS triggers (ONVIF) are working quite a bit better in 5.3.7.4. IVS Triggers are being reported as ONVIF in the clips list again. I am still seeing some ONVIF reset signals being missed on some cameras (even though others of the same model/revision/firmware are working correctly). It may be...

    HDMI extender issue?

    This NVR has only one HDMI output. If you are lucky enough to get a stable signal over the cat 5e on a single monitor, you probably won't have any luck when you try to add a splitter (especially with one 1080p and one 4k monitor on the splitter). I have a drawer full of HDMI extenders that...

    5.3.5 - November 27, 2020

    I am seeing BI behaviour that looks like the ONVIF motion alarm reset message is not being processed reliably. I have event clips that are hours long (like up to 8 hours) when they should be less than a minute. The recording icon is not displayed in BI when these extended event clip recordings...

    Help with cable run layout?

    That is pretty good cable. The jacket is heavier than most outdoor rated cable, and ubnt makes specific RJ45 connectors for it. The connectors are fully shielded and the shield and the heavy duty nature of the cable makes some say it is harder to work with. I would use it for this...

    Long Distance POE

    This is where we go down the rabbit hole.... if there is any break in the run, (and in our area there are plenty of critters that love to nibble (just a little bit mind you) on buried wire) how are you going to fix it without digging up the entire mess? I will not work on any direct burial...

    Long Distance POE

    The pulling force required for these long runs is a lot higher than I feel comfortable with. I treat cat cable pretty gently to avoid damage. (I am suspicious that a lot of cable runs I find to be bad have been treated roughly by previous installers). (I also test every run with a GOOD (not...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Sounds like problems in the cloud. As the app was/is pulled from the android App Store they may be having a bunch of problems. But when it is a free cloud service, and when having problems, the normal methodology is don't ask, don't tell and deny, deny, deny...... So you may try a dozen...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    You really don't want to hook up a 48V POE injector ( 802.11at or af but especially 48V passive) to this gadget. It will let the smoke out of a 24V passive POE device.

    H Have you two EC dwellers tried this yet? It is a long shot but it is a possibility. I missed the fact that both of you were not in North America..... LaView app is also worth trying. I have a feeling the use the same server (or data centre) but may have a different list of ID numbers.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    This is an issue with their (probably HikVision's) cloud. They are missing a range of ID numbers in their database. Help line probably not going to be very helpful until (if) you can get to tier 3. It might resolve itself in a day or two. Exchanging it for another in the same batch...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I thin you meant VA, which is how the power of these transformers are rated. VA = VxC which is also the definition of watts. So the VA rating is important when it is too low, but makes no difference when it is greater than what is required. The higher VA rated transformers tend to be bigger...

    RCA HSDB2A Notification to Home Automation System

    I have detailed adding a Z wave (or any sensor with a switch input) sensor to the HSDB2A here: New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera FYI doorbell button press notification delay in the app is so minor it is a non-issue.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The included resistor is actually a resistor, not a fuse. When the doorbell button is pushed, the HSDB2A is bypasses itself in the doorbell circuit. (the HSDB2A is powered for this time by capacitors it has just for this purpose) If you are not using a chime, when the button is pressed and...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    The HSDB1 is one of the worst products Hikvision has made in recent memory. I wouldn't even use it as a door stopper. The upgrade to the HSBSB2 is well worth it. Most everything on the HSBSB2 is better/faster and the 105/180 is actually a better solution for viewing packages left at the door...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Most of my IPCs run way hotter than I would like to see, this doorbell runs just as hot (at least every one I have installed has). That being said, I have not experienced heat related failures on these or all the IPCs. This is the nature of the beast. I figure who knows more about what is a...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Can you define 'color night vision'? The model does not have a dark fighter sensor so night vision will never be super. With modest ambient light the picture is fine. With a porchlight, streetlight, or IR from a nearby IPC or IR illuminator the image is above average. I think this is a...
