You're welcome. I hope you notice an improvement. Let me know me know how you make out after "turning the knobs"!

So I've learned some things in playing with settings. My mainstream video was "choppy" and skipped frames both viewing live on the NVR, smartpss and web interface as well as recorded video. Also, my snapshots often had the bottom half cut off. These settings fixed it. 1. Definitely do this...

Glad that got rid of the haze for you. And actually I gave the Lechange app another whirl. I'm actually finding it more stable than gdmss. i suggest you give it a try. Lately gdmss has been freezing on me or if I stream the mainstream the video just stops streaming after a short amount of...

@SuperYellowTang - Gotcha. That is odd that the Lechange app works but gdmss doesn't. I'm assuming with gdmss you double checked you input the right port #, ip address and username and password? Only other thing I can think is maybe there is some sort of setting or firewall rule in your...

@SuperYellowTang - Mine gives the warning about making sure the device is initialized too so i think that is generic. i don't think I ever tried to initialize the device but would imagine if I did it would also tell me it doesn't need to be initialized. I never tried p2p. For gdmss, use the...

@mat200 - As always thanks for your insights. When you have a sec can you please provide feedback on the following. It was buried in my response to Superyellowtang and just wanted to make sure you saw it: Do you know if smart codec is more or less demanding of the processor? I know it sounds...

@SuperYellowTang I'm OCD so when I get into some new tech I immersive myself. My loves it - LOL "What the hell are you reading about now???! These dishes ain't gonna clean themself" I'd defer to @mat200 with his comment about H.264 being less processor intensive since it compresses less. In...

@SuperYellowTang - Yes, I do think it's a keeper. I'm not an experienced pro and really don't have much to compare to, but I'm tecchy by nature and have been giving my self a crash course over the last month or 2. I've also reviewed footage that others have posted from their cams to compare to...

Did more poking around. If I go to the camera registration page and then click on the web browse icon I can login directly to each individual camera. There are more settings in there! I've been having some issues with skipped frames, choppy live video and sometimes snapshots that are "cut...

This fan significantly reduces the noise!

I'm going to try this fan in the power supply and see if it quiets it down: https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A4x20-FLX-premium-quality-quiet/dp/B072JK9GX6/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532475414&sr=1-2&keywords=Noctua+40x40x20#HLCXComparisonWidget_feature_div If it's still too loud I'm...

I did my initial config directly on the NVR but actually I think the weblink is best just for the simple fact that you can use the keyboard instead of clicking on letters. Pretty sure functionality is the same. Smartpss seems to be the best for playback of recorded videos. Seems like viewing...

You can but if i understand correctly if you zoom in your field of view get's smaller. I think it just helps you tweak your field of view based on the scene your viewing. e.g. if you're capturing an alley way you should make it narrower. or obviously if you were watching something live of...

@Yellowtang - You're welcome. You'll get WAY less false alarms with IVR. Depending on your setup I'd setup the tripwire to only go off with an object (person) coming toward your camera (not away) to further cut down on false alarms. See attached. Motion detection will go off from every drop...

SOLVED - Actually just logged into the web interface and was able to click it there successfully! Now I have my much desired "blue lines"! :)

Most of the pros probably already know this, but anyway, here is what I tried: I believe the IVS functions run on the camera hardware, not the NVR's hardware. I plugged the offending camera in another port and still get the same undesired behavior. I plugged one of the cameras that works...

Here are internal pics. Maybe the Dahau gurus can now figure out what NVR this is equivalent too. The fan in the PSU is loud as hell. I took the fan out of the psu and turned it on and its not as loud. Pretty sure the grates behind the fan add additional wind noise. I'm seriously...

@SuperYellowTang - I believe it lets you have motion and IVS/tripwire setup simultaneously but I would imagine in most instances that would be redundant. I find that IVS tripwire gives way less false alarms than motion. I haven't tried but i believe under IVS, you can't have face detection and...

SOLVED - See post # 3 I have LeChange LeChange NK168P083 NVR which appears to really be a Dahau NVR4216-16P-4KS2. I have this kit: Fry's Electronics | I have 8 total cameras. They all have tripwire rules setup properly and enabled. In 7 of the 8 cameras I am able to click on the IVS icon...

Also I was able to successfully set up a openvpn server on my ASUS router and can successfully access the NVR remotely both when I mobile on 4G and that home on Wi-Fi. I didn't try the lechange app yet. I'm using. Who gdmss Plus and find that it's working really well

First I played with just the basic motion-sensing and I got a ton of false alerts too I'm in the process of switching to just using the IVS tripwire. That is working much better. I'm mobile now so I forget exactly where in the menu this is but in the menu for recording. You have to turn on...

Still learning / tweaking - here are some night B/W shots taken straight from the NVR (figured out how to take manual snap shots). Only one assisted by an ir illuminator is the front yard

Glad to share the feedback. You've been extremely helpful too with all your advice. Compared to what I had before, which wasn't awful, these are definitely a step up. Wait so you mean the cameras can't see through solid lead, in pitch black darkness, snap a heavily pixelated image and then...

So maybe I should start a new thread for this review but here are my initial impressions. As a point of reference, I'm upgrading from this 5mp HD-TVI (BNC cables) system: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BFMRNB7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Fortunately I have power cables...

I just bought this kit at Fry's which is LeChange (Dahau): Fry's Electronics | I have cable internet service which obviously has much faster download speed vs. upload speed. I get 11.5 Mbps upload speed. If I'm remote viewing through the Lechange (formerly Easy4ip) app are my upload speeds...

Just received in the mail. It was packaged nicely. Depending on free time / weather I'm going to try to have it installed by this weekend. My old system was BNC cables so I have the lovely task of running ethernet cable over the next several days. Should go quicker than the first time as I...

Hopefully this isn't too off-topic but figured this would be a good place to get the opinions of security-minded folks. Does anyone have extensive knowledge? I did some research and looks like 3M makes some quality film that can be use for residential use. I even called a few certified...

I'm pretty "tecchy" but very limited on time. I'll get myself up to speed as far as VPN for securely accessing the NVR over the internet, closing ports, etc. I do own a modern higher-end ASUS router. I only plan on using the cameras in conjunction with the NVR. So if I was to mess with...

I just bought the kit. I'll keep everyone posted with a review once I install and test. One thing I noticed is that (if the spec sheet on Fry's site is accurate) is accurate is that the CMOS sensor is 1/2.5" So I don't think the ones in this kit are these since they use a 1/2" CMOS...

Good find. This looks like a really great value. One thing I noticed is it doesn't say these have "true" WDR. I see this: DWDR / BLC / HLC – Optimized compensations and ranges for the absolute best in focus and picture clarity So maybe just digital WDR I also don't see anything regardin...
