    Dahua VTO2202F "Villa Door Station" -- SIP Groups & other weirdness

    I have been experimenting with a Dahua VTO2202F (PoE version) for a week or so. I've found a few nice features, several missing features and some stuff that is so weird that I think I must have misunderstood what's happening. The door station hardware is elegant and looks like it will last, and...

    Frequent unexplained reboots

    I'm running six Dahua cams in two locations: - 2x SD22404 running V2.623 - 2x IPC-HDBW2431 running V2.8 (PoE power) - 1x IPC-HFW1435SP running V2.8 - 1x IPC-HDBW4431 running V2.42 (PoE power) Only one of these is completely stable: the HDBW4431. The others all reboot several times a day...

    Documentation for the Dahua HTTP API?

    Hi all Is there any definitive documentation of the current (or failing that, a relatively recent) version of Dahua HTTP API? The most recent documentation I have is an Amcrest-branded "Revision 2.12" document dated 2017-03-15. That runs to 256 pages, but must be at least two years behind...

    Dahua API "Download media file between times"

    SD42212T-HN - does it actually HAVE an SD card slot?

    Hi all I'm having a stupidly difficult time trying to put an SD card in an SD42212T-HN. The spec says that it takes a Micro SD card of up to 128GB, but I cannot find a card holder or slot anywhere. Any suggestions? Does it really have this slot? Thanks Sean

    Dahua PTZ over-voltage - recoverable?

    I accidentally connected an SD22204T-GN to a 24V (actually, ~26V) supply instead of the 12V it requires. It was only connected for about 20 seconds. Now it seems to be dead - no signals at all on the Ethernet cable. I can't see anything in the manual about a fuse or circuit breaker. Should I...
