Who has experience with small unobtrusive (Dahua) cameras for securing RVs and Campervans or can tell me where to find information.

maybe as a new doorbell ip camera to have a good look how is at your door

Good review but someone stole your Art Images...

Hello Andy, you helped me before and i wanted to ask if you can help me with two Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE Looking forward to hear from you if this is possible. Thank you.

TRUE! But why bother, they will be there the next morning.... What about driving by cars and people crawling arround your house? I'm still curious about the project you started/planed with the Optex sensors. Combined with some IR and or LED white light would help you much more with ID in...

I believe the Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI) reviewed on this board was selling for 320 bucks. It has 25 x zoom and auto tracking like the SD59225U-HNI I am not sure how prices after a nice review on this board go up? US $268.99 |DH PTZ SD42212T HN 2MP 12x Starlight Network...

Very nice project. Well done! In the beginning you mentioned the initial plan to install Optex sensors? Changed plans or will you put them on later. I'm curious how well they would work with your setup.

Although I like to believe on this board we agree to disagree, you will always find people who do not have the guts to speak out when they have another opinion. Maybe it is because people want to avoid discussion or because some people have proven to find it difficult when others have another...

For me personally it is a little too much inconsistent. Maybe I need to tweak my sensitivity settings or work on my (tripwire/intrusion) drawing skills. I don't know. Momentarily I re-think the option to go for external motion sensors. Might help to overcome these massive loads of emails. If...

I have a couple dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and although these camera's have tripwire IVS / motion detection I think from reading, hardwired pir's like the Optex lx-402 would help in better results (avoid false alarm). I also use home automation (HA) system Domoticz and would like to tie these into...

Curious about the follow up. How did it work out for you @cutterman Reading good reviews about the Optex lx-402 i am interested using these to reduce false camera motion detection. How are these pir's installed? Is it possible to directly connect them to the nvr from which they are powered...

Recently there was a post about new released microphones I believe there was a plan to review one or two. Don't know. Not sure if the quality/cost Dahua's would justify but from what I've read the M7WP-MIC is good. I ordered a couple from Microseven myself.

You received it and managed to review, post images and a clip (even in color!) on the same day! Respect :headbang:I'm sure Andy will be thankful as well seeing a review about his camera before the camera goes EOL (lol). This is what this board makes so great. Friendly enthusiasts sharing the...

Best argument ever! should i have a nvr with or without build in poe (sure, why not, if not needed build in poe you do not have to. it can't hurt) i am looking for a ptz. what do you think. should i take 3x zoom or go with the 40x zoom (just go with the 40x zoom. it can't hurt) Ofcourse one...

That is how I found your thread, which last post was IN 2017...., I asked myself the same. Thank you for starting this thread. It is not very much alive so I could have started a new one but as you probably noticed, not much input. I do hope I can get it alive again (not much hopes tho). As you...

Yes, I hear you @looney2ns . In an ideal world 'we' (camera enthusiasts on this forum especially) are looking for a lens which can gather as much light as possible and these Starlights we all 'love', no other word for it, do a tremendous job. A smoked dome does not sound ideal, contrary it would...

It does not matter for still image photography or (surveillance) video, the quality of the image depends on the lightning/sensor sensitivity. I agree with most here that the quality of the IR (and as we speak about it, audio quality as well) of these dahua camera's is okay. At first I was not...

I am looking for the same. Purpose it has to fit/blend in and not screaming 'DON'T MOVE, I AM WATCHING YOU' :smash: If auto tracking is not a big deal for you then the new 'lite series' ptz's might be something Chase. @EMPIRETECANDY Andy, is it possible to replace the normal glass dome on...

These look absolute great!! Not too much obtrusive and yet very practical in use being able to pan/tilt/zoom. Not needing build in IR and all white seems aesthetically more appealing, so yes the SD12203T-GN seems the best route then. Very enthusiastic about these. I was looking/interested in...

I hear you sunny0101786. I think every other external dahua microphone listed will be good for whatever camera. Especially taking into consideration what it is replacing, namely the cheap internal microphone. The same goes for external IR replacement for the internal 0,05 cent IR Illumination...

Did I miss this review?

WoW! Incredible job you did with your review(s). From an objective point of view non biased over whatever settings. I like to believe you invest a nice amount of time before deciding which system/camera fits you best. What made you decide for these turrets over a bullet or even ptz. Looks your...

I hear you @J Sigmo and I am not here on this board to argue. As a matter of fact I am a very much fan of the US. Have visited many places in your country and I know, the differences between them are 'HUGE'.. I am sure you guys (as well as all around the globe), we all know what the impact of...

Seeing other reviews from @looney2ns I'm sure it will be reviewed very good. Having read the not so good experiences by others and since video from the unit will not/cannot be captured (over wifi can't expect to much I guess) on the nvr, probably better idea to have a nice review on the nice...

Looking very nice indeed. Probably would benefit even more when the mount was painted in the same color as your brick house (seen people did paint junction boxes and or housing of turrets) but I understand it is still on your test rig (hence the utp cable hanging loose I guess). Nice work...

Thank you for the review. if you have time, a pic from how it looks at your door would be nice. just to have an idea. thanks

Have to love such answers. How about make one list with 'all' the answers and stop this complete website. If one has nothing to contribute better safe yourself the time by 'not' replying

It is a nice thing to see more people use these units. Maybe @redfive can help out since he tackled a couple hickups.

if it is like you call, 'a deal killer', you do yourself short. It can be compared to, what you see with all consumer photo camera's. They all have built in flash which more often turn the pictures in 'terrible over lit and other aerea's under lit. Same with build in IR. When you are a serious...

Thank you @tangent . Reading good comments on those (old school) sensors. I've started a little with home automation and have read also good comments on the fibaro z-wave sensors should be fairly simple to have ' em fit into my network. Looking forward to your future review(s).
