I had a similar problem with 1 of my 5 Dahua HDW2401R-Z, only rebooted every 2 minutes. The system was running great for years and starting doing this a few months ago. I spent a ton of time trying everything possible and going crazy to figure out what was happening. Turns out after seeing...

Lol, this explains why I couldn't find one that seemed to work. Thanks for the replies.

Ok, I have BI running with 5 of the famed dahua starlight camera's and I love it. I now want to add a cheap indoor wifi camera for monitoring my bathroom remodelers. Because of location limitations it would need to be battery powered. The three I have checked out do not seem to be...

I'm a super newb here, so forgive my ignorant question but has anyone installed it yet and have any comments? Is it even close as an alternative to Blue Iris? I searched the entire forum and Dahua's DSS Professional was only mentioned once.

What size SSD for just Win10 Pro and BI? How does the BI database work and how much space does it need? I assume it depends on # cameras and days of storage, but maybe also the # events that occur where snapshots or videos are being triggered. I will have 6-IPC-HDW5231R-Z's and probably one...

Thanks a lot tangent. Those are some really good comments. My primary objective is to cover all entry points. I purchased a IPC-HDW5231R-Z and have been playing with it and testing it out over the past week or so by putting it on an attachment to a 2nd story window washing pole. It works...

Thanks Loony2ns for your comments. Only reason I care if others see the cameras is because wifey doesn't want them being very noticeable. Happy wife, happy life! So for the side and back yards is it practical to mount the camera's on side of the house and aim them along the side? Will this...

First timer here and first post. I have been spending hours and hours reading and researching. Trying to select locations and camera's and looking for advice. I am planning to spend around $1,500 including cabling, poe switches, and NVR. Generally speaking I don't want the cameras to stand...
