    Using an older iPad as a monitor.

    Hello, I’ve got an old iPad on which I run dmss and have this in a frame next to the front door and we can see and record whoever walks up our path. However the IPad keeps switching off when it needs to be on! Ask this question and everyone will say you just have to go to the auto lock settings...

    Hi this is great just what Ive been looking for. However read further down my replies and I’m thinking - it might be cheaper and easier as well as more reliable to just use a PC with blue Iris?

    Fast Cycling view problem with Dahua NVR

    Hello to everyone reading this, I wrote this 2 weeks ago and submitted my problem under NVR’s. However nobody has replied so I thought I would put my request for a solution here where seemingly more people might read it as cameras attract more people than maybe NVR’s do? A problem has now...

    Hello and greetings to everyone reading this, haven’t written a post for absolutely ages, I guess that’s because when everything is going well, you just leave the system to do it’s job which it’s being doing brilliantly for a couple of years now, until now! A problem has now occurred with the...

    PTZ Camera SD52C225U-HNI Plugin

    Yes, infact I have 3 of them and have never regretted buying them. Makes fixed cameras boring because it’s great to watch a subject come into view and see how the camera autotracks them and what they get up to lol. All I would say is, depending on your situation it’s very possible to miss what...

    DAHUA NVR 5216 16P diagnosis please.

    Hi everyone, need an urgent diagnosis of my DAHUA NVR 5216-16P-4KS2 please.

    Update firmware at your peril

    Hi, yes I’ve reset both cameras to factory settings via signing into the camera, In fact I did it three times in a row with each camera, I felt that if there was just a few bytes lingering around then this approach might wipe them - but to no avail unfortunately. Don’t know if it will allow to...

    Dahua auto tracking ZOOM INSTRUCTIONS

    Hi Jmcu. Thanks for your reply. I find it incredible that a manufacturer can make something and just have basic instructions with no guidance on the finer points of its product. If this guidance does exist, then it certainly seems to be top secret or at least not translated into English. I read...
