I'm not sure that use camera's SD as incident backup is the best solution, as you have to periodically check the SD cameras footage to be sure that everything is OK, and we all know Murphy's Law... Cyclic FTP will not work in case of burglary/fire incident, as you will miss the last footage...

As recorder, the BlueIris/WindowsPC combo is really good, lot of people uses it here, and it's cheap. If you prefer something more simple to configure & manage but still very solid, I would recommend a Synology NAS as alternative. Licences are expensive, about $50 for each camera from the 3th...

File name is General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX-Taurus_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V3.120.0000000.17.R.230227.bin, and Device Info is showing version 17.R But same build date firmware that I've updated on other Color4K-T some weeks ago is 14R Note that Web version is also different.

Note that the version in Andy's web is V3.120.0000000.17.R

As per Andy new web site, seems that last firmware for Color4K-T is 2023-02-27. https://empiretech01.com/pages/download-firmwares

I would recommend Ajax Systems. They have both radio & wire connections. Very easy to setup yourself.

Not using them for years, but I remember that Axis can do it using Action Rules. Apart from BlueIris, Synology Surveillance can also send http commands on motion events as well as Dahua IVS events.

Setting CBR solves the issue. But I've also discovered that some VBR configured cameras that were working well for weeks have now this issue, even after reboot. Very strange...

Until now I'm configuring all installed Dahua cameras with Variable Bit Rate (VBR), as it seems a good compromise between image quality and disk space. With VBR the images I see momentary slight blurred frames on major bit rate oscillations, but final result is more than acceptable. But I've...

Today i had my first bricked Dahua ever: a VTO2202F-P It was supplied by the local distributor here with 2019-12-03 V1.000.00IP001.0.R firmware. I've first tried to upgrade it to last official Dahua website firmware, but it refuses to load, update fails on reboot progress at 50%. Having...

Thanks kobebeef. So firmware.bin update is only required when the device specifically indicates that algorithm version does not meet. Same with MCU ? Is there any indication that MCU firmware must be also upgraded ?

I've just installed two PC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-S3 that were supplied with firmware version V2.840.0000000.10.R, Build Date: 2021-09-30. Looking into the official Dahua firmware page, a new version DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.18.R.220629 is available. But after download, the...

Thanks Tony, much appreciated

Sorry if this has been discussed before. After connecting the network cable using the normally provided connector seal, what are you doing with the non used camera cables, like alarms, audio in/out, etc ? Some of them have a connector, but others are pre- cut, so an undesired contact can...

Thanks Andy, much appreciated.

I've bought the "official" DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED from local Dahua distributor as well as a IPC-4K Turret from Andy. While the Turret images are really superb, I'm not able to adjust the Dahua to obtain something similar at night. It has the latest official firmware that is...

Oopps ! Yes, this works, thanks for reminding me this basic tip. About the detection area, I always use the in-camera option for less process on Syno side.

Same here: only ONVIF connection can be established from Surveillance Station, Generic_Dahua profile doesn't authenticate. By the way, I'm having the same problem with another recent Dahua cam, the DH-SD2A500-GN-A-PV. In this case, I can authenticate using Generic_Dahua, but Surveillance...
