    Dahua NVR not recording Events

    The real trick I found even if a region is defined and it is not triggering is to try and change the region and save the config, it may fail that tells me time for a factory reset. I have had it happen a few times now to a few different cams. One even within a few days of setting it up.

    NVR5XXX-4KS2 latest new firmware.

    I agree, but I already updated with the new firmware with no issues. My NVR and all my cams were purchased from Andy. I was eager to get the MP4 download option, which of course I have not tried yet.

    NVR5XXX-4KS2 latest new firmware.

    I did see that in the release notes, but if all the cameras and NVR are bought from Andy how would it know the device is in the US? I buy everything from Andy so I trust that every thing is compatible as international versions. And if they don't want people buying the non-US version they should...

    New Dahua doorbell DHI-DB11

    Cat 5e should be fine for any home unless you plan on pushing 10gb networks.

    New Dahua doorbell DHI-DB11

    I agree, but getting a CAT 5 to most doorbells in existing construction is not likely easy, especially when you consider the connectors and burying them in the door frame.

    New Dahua doorbell DHI-DB11

    Excellent and when is this available? Pricing? And can this work with their NVR as well as the app and cloud? I just did 11 cams and a NVR5216 and wife wants a doorbell camera was trying to avoid getting a Ring.

    Need some quick help with Dahua 4k turret housing

    Here are some samples of my HDW4231EM-ASE and HDW4831EM-ASE with the PFA 139 and one where I used the PFB204W, the entire turret line (2, 4, 6, 8MP) are all the same size. The PFA139 I do not believe is weather proof (but none of mine are exposed directly to the weather), where the PFA130 is...

    Need some quick help with Dahua 4k turret housing

    I used the PFA139 since it is same size as the base of the turret, the only downside is there is not very much room inside the box once you put all the cables in it. I am putting together some docs and pics of the setup I installed using almost only the Eco-Savvy 3.0 torrents.

    NVR5XXX-4KS2 latest new firmware.

    Thanks, I go here Not sure why they make it so hard. I wish they would update the CAM firmware, the Eco Savvy 3 line has some encoding issues when using H.265, several of my cams get an intermittent encoding corruption all in the same place about 20% from left edge about 1/3 up the screen. Very...

    Dahua ePoE 6MP Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5631R-ZE)

    So on those samples at 1/60 is the lens f-stop the same? Without looking up those cameras I don't know and if they are not the same that will impact the image, the lower the f-stop the more exposure the image will have.

    Dahua ePoE 6MP Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5631R-ZE)

    have 2/4/6/8 Eco-Savay cameras with the 2MP being Starlights and my observation is similar. the 8MP advantage is strictly in non-IR daylight where it is truly amazing. That said if your night scenario is requiring IR even with a Starlight then I would go 8MP all day every day. to me I have 2 4MP...

    NVR5XXX-4KS2 latest new firmware.

    Dahua Starlight - Indoor?

    Marketing, marketing, marketing. They are leveraging the Starlight name with the consumers attraction to higher MP.

    Dahua ePoE 6MP Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5631R-ZE)

    I have the 4/6/8MP Eco-Savvy 3.0 cams as well as a few 2MP Starlights. As soon as I get done setting everything up I will get some pics and post some comparisons. The short is I like the 6 and 8 MP cams, the daylight quality is awesome and even night with IR is very good. The biggest issue is at...

    Dahua Starlight - Indoor?

    I am still rather new to this, but not all Starvis sensors are Starlight. I look at camers specs for minimum illumination. For Dahua Starlight you typically see specs like this: 0.009Lux/F2.0( Color,1/3s,30IRE) 0.07Lux/2.0( Color,1/30s,30IRE) 0Lux/F2.0(IR on) For Dahua non-Starlight Starvis...

    Dahua Starlight - Indoor?

    So I use IPC-HDBW4231E-AS Dome inside in my foyer pointing at the front door. Due to extreme lighting I have to use WDR which softens the pic a bit, but I wanted the faster shutter speed to be able to get clear frames should there be an intrusion. WDR actuallys help the night view a bit. The...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    See if you TV has a setting for overscan. Some TVs call it different names, but basically in the old analog days TVs did not show the entire picture to allow for the imperfection of analog and the fact that there wa some info in the edges of the screen if I recall. As TVs went digital this was...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    As much as I hate to use IE I find the Dahua Web interface works far better with IE and I gave up on the Chrome version.

    Is there a way to keep the Dahua web interface from timeing out?

    I have a NVR5216-4KS2 and set the logout to 0 rebooted and the web interface still times out. Very annoying.
