    DS-2CD2032F-I POE failing, replacement camera?

    Well, this is weird. I swapped out the camera that was failing with another that I bought at the same time, but never installed. This second camera was 2.8mm, not 6mm, so I opened the two up, swapped the lenses, put the 'never used' camera up and it was working for days but now is offline. I...

    DS-2CD2032F-I POE failing, replacement camera?

    I guess it's not the POE adapter on the camera but the camera itself. I installed power injector adapters and hooked the camera up to a 12V supply. Worked for a while and just now I checked it and it's offline. Definitely getting a new camera now.

    DS-2CD2032F-I POE failing, replacement camera?

    Thanks, I'll take a look at the examples in that document. BTW, why am I not seeing longer lenses in turrets? I just spent time in the IPCamtalk store, aliexpress at Hikvision and Dahua sellers, and the only way to get a long lens is if I buy an variable focal length camera. What happened to...

    DS-2CD2032F-I POE failing, replacement camera?

    Noticed I wasn't able to access my 5 year old bullet DS-2CD2032F-I camera via the Hik app. Checked Blue Iris and confirmed the camera was offline. Power cycled the camera and and it worked for a few hours only to have it go offline again. Switched POE ports on the switch, same problem...

    Dahua HDW-4431C-A cannot get video in BI but fine in VLC

    This was using 'find inspect'. Looks like it's a version issue. here's the first camera with a problem. and here's the second one that works. If I set up the 'bad' camera identical to the 'good' camera in BI on the Network IP camera configuration page the problem still exists. Both...

    Dahua HDW-4431C-A cannot get video in BI but fine in VLC

    I bought a pair of Dahua HDW-4431C-A camera a while ago and now setting them up in BI. (was connected to a dahua DVR before). Problem is in BI the live video shows "No Signal, RTSP: 404 Not Found". Username and password is fine, and if I type into VLC, rtsp://192.168.78.92 I get a valid...

    Thanks for this. I was using Milestones Essentials 2016 but it expires tomorrow and I cannot for the life of me get the 2017 R3 version installed. Switching to BI on an I5-4690.

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    Received my 2nd Dahua 4431C from Aliexpress and hooked it up to my NVR4108-P. With 2 Dahua cameras, no issues with playback at the NVR itself.

    Electricity cost of Dahua NVR vs PC?

    FWIW as I don't have everything on either of my NVR's yet. Strictly NVR power consumption: Dahua 4108-P with 3TB WD purple drive, recording motion only from one Dahua camera not powered by the NVR = 10W HP Elitedesk with an I5-4690, 8GB ram, 4TB purple drive, running Win7 Pro and Milestone...

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    No issues watching recorded video via a web browser of the Dahua turret I hooked up to the NVR instead of the BeSafe unit. Doesn't make sense. Will have to do more testing.

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    Mine is not a 4K unit but the NVR4108-P I've got one of the Costco Lorex units already installed (HD-CVI Dahua DVR) and I've been happy with that web interface. This one appears nearly the same and other than the stuttering and lost frames, and the playback screen the 'clip' function doesn't...

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    Just tried that and when I went to my NVR it said "Download Chrome Plugin First". Did that next and still get the same response. Also yesterday I was having the stutter/lost frames problem even accessing the NVR directly. Don't know why it's better today though I did turn off 'snapshot' and...

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    I just played back video at the NVR itself and didn't find any stuttering or skipped frames! I then went back to my laptop and played back video from the NVR's webpage and again I had both stuttering and skipped frames. Weird thing was it was in the same spot each time if I went back and forth...

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    I'll try but I took it out of the box, added 2 cameras and have this problem. Pretty sure I'm not that far off from 'default'

    What Would Cause Only Dahua Cameras to Flicker on NVR

    Yes but I was thinking it might be related to the same thing. Mine has skipping, and stuttering. My 'experiment' by hooking my BeSafe Onvif camera directly to the NVR didn't help. Nor did turning off snapshot in the NVR for this camera. Tomorrow I'll hook my Dahua turret up to it and see if...

    Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

    Does anyone have their BeSafe camera hooked to a Dahua NVR and seeing jerky recordings? My newly received Dahua 4108-p NVR the playback is jerky - every few seconds (5-10 seconds) the scene jumps forward a few seconds. Time display on the screen shows it too. Originally had it wired through a...

    What type of hard drive should I be using? WD Blue? WD Red? Something else?

    I'll have to read up on that. Back when I worked for a HD head manufacturer, head 'flew' on the disks and didn't touch but they were coming out with 'tail draggers'.

    Purchasing Dahua equipment from these two vendors?

    What is an equivalent model number of a camera that has a fixed focal length vs motorized variable? Just want to see what the price reduction would be. My Costco 1080p HDCVI cameras appear to be 1.3MP but surprisingly the price is pretty high on CCTV-Mall...

    Purchasing Dahua equipment from these two vendors?

    Wow! That's a nice image! I have an HD over analog system from Lorex that is a rebadged Dahua system. Images are not as nice as what you're showing. I think I'll pick up one of your cameras to fiddle with.

    Purchasing Dahua equipment from these two vendors?

    I placed an order for a Dahua NVR from CCTV-Mall on Sept 5th, it just shipped on Sept 23rd. They didn't ship right away as they said they don't carry everything Dahua has and instead places orders with Dahua after customers place their order. The NVR I bought I thought was pretty common...

    Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

    Which camera is this? I'd like to try this on my BeSafe camera but there's not an option to do it. Guess I'll try and block the LEDs with tinfoil.
