Cost more than the price of the camera to return, not worth it.

Yeah these from Amazon have the 4433C-A label on the camera but boxes labelled 4431C-A. Also its 1/2 the IR of the 4431C-A, has more noise at night so the 3D DNR has to work too much and then identification of a person is not obtainable. And the firmware extremely buggy, have to keep refreshing...

The 4433C-A is not the same as the 4431C-A. Night is worse, not much use in infrared with or without BLC enabled. It seems to have much higher noise in any form of low light and 3D NR kicks in and blurs everything. BLC and WDR have issues. Firmware is extremely buggy. The ONLY thing to buy the...

BTW Dahua's greatest NVR, the Ultra model, its latest firmware is still 2016 ;-)

Thats when Smart Plan was introduced, which links the IPC to the NVR for Push Notifications - so thats the earliest firmware you need to do tripwire alerts etc. Most updates in the newer firmware are security related like mandatory stronger passwords, which is very annoying - also, automatic...

It's just converted to English. It's a great camera and way better than similar US models which costs DOUBLE the price, like the 4431EM-AS. You can download the latest firmware in English, there are official English NTSC files out there on various Dahua websites, otherwise there is an English...

Tried another of the 3 and its the same - so much darker than the 4431C-A, definitely not starlight - I had to make it manual exposure 1/10 and gain 50-80 (for night only, as whiteout in the day if outside), to come close to the 4431C-A. Also the BLC sucks on these, same way it sucks on the...

Agreed. Just the only way to make it look similar to the 4431C-A. I have 3 of them, maybe thats just a bad model, will test the other 2. The daytime digital zoom is great though, its so much sharper than the 4431C-A (although some of those just come a little out of focus too). Wish it was better...

Old thread but I just got one of these, and its not starlight - Amazon resellers only list it as having regular lux levels, but I was hoping. Its definitely not as good as the 4431C-A in the dark. At 1080p it seems to be similar, but anything higher is a load of noise, as it struggles to see...

Okay thanks, the IT company just opened all ports for now, but I will tell them to try this.

Old thread, but what I have noticed is the issue is playback from SmartPSS and Web UI. If you download each file - the Continuous record and the Motion event, then put them together using AVI demux or similar, it runs smooth without skipping time. Agree its a PITA and it does not happen on...

Hi, I have a Dahua NVR behind a corporate network, and notifications are not working - though the events are working in the browser alarm messages. I have subscribed successfully in the Android software, and I get alerts from other NVRs, just not this one. Im thinking its the corporate firewall...

Quick question, what lens do the fixed lens cameras have in your test? The 4631 seems much more like 3.6mm? Also, I used the 4431EM-AS and 4431C-A in same spot and the EM is way more noisy at night, better audio though (less scratching/noise which the 4431C-A are known for) - I wouldnt buy the...

I have used many of the 4431C-A and had to focus approx 2 out of 5 of them each order. Basically in every order there are usually a few out of focus especially the 2.8mm models. Used pliers to break the glue by twisting the lens, then focus - it stays in place, or use super glue after to be...

I Noticed a similar issue - but it turned out just being the clipping of video in Smart PSS, and how it joined the general to motion events. Downloading each file individually and joining them with other software shows no issues. (eg. AviDemux).
