I use a Fractal Design Define R5 case that can house 8x 3.5 HDDs, & 2 bays for DVD-ROM, plus some two SSD. I like these Fractal Design Define PC cases as they are built like a tank and provide excellent noise reduction. Don't forget that the number of HDDs you can put into a PC case not only...

Yeah, that happened to me too. So I used a small flat head screw driver to pry it loose, and with the help of a magnet, I managed to get it off.

It has to deal with "scaling" your screen, which Windows uses to deal with an app font size and other controls in the Windows GUI library. Do a right click on your Windows Desktop, select Display Settings, and pick a scaling from 150% to 175%. Keep your resolution at 4K, don't lower it. That...

Over the time, I have used several Logitech Mice and they all work well for me within 5ft from the dongle. I currently use a Logitech M325 mouse, and if I remember correctly, I had used a Logitech MX Anywhere, and some Logitech keyboard+mouse combo with this NVR and they all worked well. When I...

IR Light controls are under Camera-->Conditions-->IR Light. You can select your option to have it on Manual, SmartIR, or Off. See the screen shot attached.

This version should work for you

If this is the only monitor hooked up to your Windows 10 PC, then use Pale Moon browser and that Web interface from the browser should give you all the tools you need to configure you cams. Within the browser interface, you can use Ctrl+ to increase your interface size, and that may help, too.

SmartPSS interface is tiny because of your screen resolution. I have that issue on my 4K monitor, too. SmartPSS is not an app that is works well with Windows 10 on higher resolution screen. Use a monitor 1920x1080 should give you enough screen size for SmartPSS. Use latest version of Pale Moon...

With this firmware version 2018/11/24, the cam still works but no browsers can view its video. I have tried Pale Moon, Chrome, Firefox, and IE, all of which show a black screen where the view of the camera is supposed to be. I have reverted it back to firmware 2018/04/04 and Pale Moon works fine...

Yup, I have reported this problem in post #118 last year. You can set the IVS rules but they don't work. I have also asked @EMPIRETECANDY to report this issue to Dahua so that they work on a fix. It seems like @EMPIRETECANDY just responded with a "no new firmware" to one of my posts.

Yes, IVS can only be set on channel 1, and Backlight Setting is only available for channel 1 as well. See my post #85 in this thread. I have asked @EMPIRETECANDY for a more recent update of the firmware to see if they have any fixes for these problems.

Hey @EMPIRETECANDY , Can you post the latest firmware for this cam IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Cam? I have version V2.622.0000000.31.R.180813 on it and look for the latest firmware version. Thanks

Hey @EMPIRETECANDY, Can you post the latest firmware for this cam DH-SD1A203T-GN? It's a mini PTZ cam. I have version V2.622.0000000.7.R.180404 on this cam and I'm looking for a more recent firmware. Thanks.

All smart phones / tablets have WiFi. A dashcam with WiFi acts as WiFi access point that allows a smart phone to connect to it. Via an app installed in the smart phone, you can view real time video feed from the dashcam. The only issue one needs to take care of is how to mount that dashcam...

A dashcam that sends video feed via WiFi to a smart phone or tablet screen would work for you. Check out Blueskysea B1W on Amazon. It has pretty good quality, but it is not supposed to be mounted outside of your RV.

@fastsvo firmware updates fix bugs, security vulnerabilities, and introduce new functions. However, if not implemented carefully, they also generate new bugs. For this particular model, I find firmware version 2018-03-30 relatively usable. That's what I have on my cams. Newer firmware could be...

@Bravo79 No, but the cam seems to function correctly after a reboot, so I set a schedule to reboot the cam. That seems to mitigate the issue. Most likely, it's a bug or a memory leak in its firmware.

It's always been an issue that way. I asked @EMPIRETECANDY to check with Dahua in June in post #85 of this thread. I haven't heard a fix or an update on that yet.

I'm selling my mini PTZ SD1A203T-GN for $150 shipped within the 48 states of the US. This camera was bought from EMPIRETECANDY in June 2018. It is currently mounted indoor and works as expected.

@pens1566 I have tried it both on PFA203W & PFA137. It works fine with both. I currently have it mount on a PFA 203. If you scroll back to page 3 on this thread, you should see some pictures and diagrams on how this cam is mounted on a PFA203. The PFA137 is the ceiling mount version for the...

@ey33 I have the same issues with settings and controls for the secondary cam that I reported earlier in May. Basically, you can set IVS rules on the secondary cam, but it does not produce any effect. It doesn't even appear on screen, but you still can see them IVS rules if you are in...

Can someone explain to me the relations among FPS, Bit Rate, & iFrame Rate? In a general & typical situation, what are the recommended settings for them?

If you use a pass-through plug, you'll need a crimp tool that allows the excess wires to pass through, i.e., the one that has an open-ended crimp window.

I had this issue in the past and I got it fixed by selecting Amcrest/Dahua as the type of Network IP camera> I think it has to do with the protocol used by Blue Iris to communicate with the camera.

In the past, I used just regular Monoprice plugs. They work fine, except that one has to cut the stripped wires to the approx correct length or it doesn't crimp on the jacket. I recently use pass-through plugs and they make it so easy to feed the wires and you can verify wiring correction before...

@M4SK13 If you have 4 built-in ports but your NVR is capable for 8 cameras, you can add the extra 4 cams through an external PoE switch. Your NVR has 2 network interfaces, one connects to the internal switch and has an IP of 10.1.0.1, network 10.1.0.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The other...

It is true that Smart Code needs to be off in order for IVS to work.

@slowhand23 The problem seems to be with the cam. I would try to reset to the firmware for the cam to factory default first to rule out all software issues. If that doesn't help, the cam is faulty in hardware.

@slowhand23 From the "Camera Registration" screen, you should delete the cam "192.168.1.126" from "Added Device". Hit Device Search button on the top screen. Select the new cam from the top screen. If the cam needs initiation, do that. Hit Modify IP and assign an IP to the cam.

My DHI-NVR52A16-16P-4KS2 works fine with 8TB drives. From what I understand, there are MBR and GTP for partioning a HDD. MBR (Master Boot Record) has a 2.2TB limit for a partition, thus may have problem with HDDs larger than 2TB. Modern operating systems like Linux version greater than 2.6.35 &...
