@lulu5kamz What LPR are you using? Shot looks decent

@wozzzzza Those network setting look correct, the NVR's network switch is the 10.1.1.1/24 subnet. Now you'll need to go to the camera management page and either modify their Default Gateway to be 10.1.1.1, or better yet just delete the cameras and re-add them and make sure they are added with...

^^ THIS ^^ ... doesn't seem like your cameras were added under the subnet of the NVR, but rather under the router's subnet. Therefore the cameras network route is dependent on the connection to the router, hence when you disconnect the network cable the camera has no route to the NVR. Even...

I agree with @mat200 , the cable job looks bad and they never should have used staples and those sharp 90 degree bends. It almost certainly will have some impact on the cable's performance. However, a single POE camera doesn't use a whole lot of bandwidth compared to the overall capacity of the...

@jlppilot Might want to check out: IPVM Camera Calculator V3 Click "Change Location" and locate your property. It let's you only do up to 4 cameras for free, but I just move the same ones around to get an idea for each area of interest. You can get a good idea of what a face or vehicle might...

@jlppilot For the link between the two locations I'd definitely look into setting up a long range bridge, the Ubiquity systems seem highly reliable and with high bandwidth. I recall seeing some videos demonstrating their capabilities at several miles away, so 1.5 miles should be no problem...

I suggested because they tend to use some top OEM equipment, for me I don't care about the technical support aspect as much as quality equipment and regular firmware updates, as suggested throughout this thread it's definitely a balance of cost, quality, support, and how much hands on...

Well you can likely recoup a good portion of the cost of the system by bumping up your sell price a bit (assuming you own your residence), selling it as a feature, or you can just not include the system in the sale and remove the equipment before moving. Obviously you'd have to re-wire a new...

I'm guessing some moisture/fog in the air mixed with wind blowing in the direction that one camera was facing. With them mounted so high it's more susceptible to weather and wind exposure. I'd suggest adding additional cameras pointing towards critical areas and at different angles/heights...

@Simcole I agree with others, that more lines and static cams are needed for an ideal setup. Here's what I recommend for the 3 wired locations you identified (Referencing from the image from the end of the driveway looking towards the house): 1) Left position (left side of garage) - This looks...

Has anyone been able to get Face Detection working post Dahua flash? Both the Cameras and the NVR have the feature available but for some reason I can't get it to work right, I saw some videos of people setting it up but it doesn't detect a face at all when I attempt it. I'm assuming it works...

Yeah you may not be able to get #2/3 to work properly since it's not a "Lorex" camera. What method did you use to add the camera to the NVR? Did you just add it as a ONVIF camera? Might want to experiment with the method used to add it.

This depends on the manufacturer/supplier of the NVR, in general yes this is usually common feature, however you'll probably want to look for one of the top providers to make sure they have a quality and reliable mobile app. You pretty much don't need one after you setup the NVR, after it's...

The camera is probably on another subnet, usually 10.1.1.X within the NVR. Usually you can access the cameras config page within the NVR through some automatic port forwarding on a camera config page, but this might not work since it's an off brand. Your router and computer are usually on...

@tubac I just figured it out on mine :) I'm guessing it will work for you too since mine had a similar behavior to what you described. I'll write up a tutorial of the steps I took. I experimented with many different combinations and it came down to having the right network settings on the camera...

I have one of each of the bullet (IPM8-2496) and the turret (IPM8-T2499) and just flashed them both. FYI they both use the exact same firmware. They would not take the Dahua firmware until I update the Amcrest to the latest available...

In general you can set the rules on a PTZ camera itself to zoom in on a target (by going to some pre-defined preset) that it sees itself (via an event), but to be effective the PTZ should default to a zoomed-out state to be able to get an overview for the entire area. With auto tracking (which...

Welcome! Many of the systems that offer monthly subscriptions or limited cloud storage-only options are inferior to having your own NVR with a well established free app to view your NVR data and to receive alerts/notifications. Most of the highly advertised and highly marketed products are not...

Edit: Turns out that the bullet (IPM8-2496) and the turret (IPM8-T2499) use the exact same firmware files. I think the internal hardware is the same they just have different lenses and IRs and body I'm guessing.

Can you post all your NVR and Camera's network configuration values? That would help to troubleshoot. This thread may be of use, particularly the first video on this post. I have a hikvision cube POE camera I'm going to attempt to connect to my Dahua NVR, this method seems like it should work...

Very nice, I haven't seen that one before :) Looks excellent from what I can tell So you got it for $400 shipped through that seller? And you're sure it's OEM US-Version Hikvision and takes the US firmware updates? I've been burned by the hacked Chinese to English version Hikvision's in the...

This, and what @SouthernYankee said "Use only solid copper, AWG 23 or 24 ethernet wire. , no CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum)". It's only a little bit more and a superior cable. If they have no clue what this means or say it doesn't matter, also tell them to move on :)

Here's my two cents: You are probably better off hiring an electrician to run some Cat5e or Cat6 cables to the locations you want the cameras, I'm guessing around $75-100 per line installed (I've never priced it to be honest, but I'm sure it's not much more than this). Have the lines come...

So is the general consensus on this camera (and the 4MP version) that it's not worth buying at this point due to the issues mentioned throughout this thread (mechanical/hardware issues, disabling of autotracking, loss of presets, etc.)? Is there a better budget PTZ that is the go-to/preferred...

I've been on the search for the best valued budget PTZ, I found the popular thread for the Dahua SD49225XA-HNR (and 4MP upgrade) and was hoping it would fulfill all my needs but it seems to not be the case (mechanical/hardware issues, disabling of autotracking, loss of presets, etc.)? I'm...

Well you'd need to be able to VPN to the network for any hope of ssh access (since they obviously don't want open ports). You usually can VPN from a cell phone, by which then you should be able to access the NVR directly from your phone and no need for ssh. But whoever runs the networking might...

I'm confused, so you install cameras for businesses but you don't have access to their wifi (or are just out of range) and therefore cannot access the NVR that's setup in their network? But you're able to access their network from your home network (Through a VPN tunnel or something similar?)?

Congratulations @Otown! Glad we could help and that you didn't give up :) That's very strange that it just didn't work on that other PC, must have had bad NIC drivers or some other bad configuration. To thread viewers: I suspect that going with the older of the two V3 firmware downloads dated...

@Otown Not sure on what the exact version of the latest LeChange firmware was, I recall it was released mid-to-late 2017 though, might want to search for the version number within this site to see if it's mentioned elsewhere (I recall it being installed when I first setup the NVR so you probably...

Mine flashed fine with the cameras attached, however I already flashed all the cameras to dahua prior, so not sure that would make a difference. Wouldn't hurt to try it though. Your PC flashed the cameras fine so perhaps there is something different with your NVR or your flash method. I'm...
