Does she like car tires? Rubber? Carry sharp objects? Stand in middle of the road like a zombie? If so...I'll take her cell #! I mean, her address. I mean, her shopping cart plate number.

unsure if has been mentioned or not, updated firmware on DahuaWiki that works: Dahua VTO2202F V4.511.0000000.0.R with a build date of 5/23/2022 (have to update firmware 3x's... one version, then next, then final) DahuaWiki Dahua VTH2421F-P V4.700.0000000.0.R with a build date of 8/4/2023...

I know the Dahua VTO/VTH villa intercom system might be... older and not as useful to folks out there like what has been already been mentioned...but since Dan brought up Home Assistant, The Dahua VTO is included in the Dahua integration into Home Assistant. From there, can have speakers or...

As I have learned... if you want a video / picture of a face to give to the local authorities so that they have something to arrest or get a warrant for, the perfect angle is level with the face. Once you start going higher, now you have to factor in light shadows, baseball hat, lowering of...

If you do decide to drill through the block for any reason, drill through the mortar and not the block itself. Easy fixings, later.

What of putting external camera round mount base at the red circle of the outside wall, and with 1/2" EMT conduit travel 2' to the left, 90 degree bend down, another 2', 90 degree bend to the left so the EMT conduit ends underneath that 1st floor roof overhang.

working 2x's as hard is... fun :) exciting and tedious. but I wouldn't change anything. I'm still 1/2 technician and 1/2 boss. The stress & drama came up when I had 3 new techs to train. Lots of 'ooops, I didnt know' situations that I feel I have to babysit. Time & experience will help...

Still here. No one told me I would have 100% no social life as a new business owner that has no experience assuming control of a 20 year old established business. Not so easy :) Heck...bought one of Andy's wifi outdoor spotlights a month ago and still have not even installed it!

Telegram, I do not have. I do have Microsoft Teams! What of Microsoft Teams for alert images/videos?

I installed a DSC 1864 (?) for a DIY system. Knowing I was going to toss 40+ Cat6 cables in my house, I opted to run both video, data, coaxial, alarm wiring everywhere. I mean come one...it's just drywall :) Simple patch. I have integrated it into my Home Assistant system (when a door alarm...

Much has happened since I tossed this post up, on this topic. I was working 16 hour days / 7 days a week so this went on the backburner. Until a couple months ago when AllStream (old ATG, old Integra dialtone/internet folks) jacked pricing up to $300 just to host a single email. In a rush, I...

ooo..good point. I'll snag a popular brand camera like Reolink. What model ?

Hey peeps! Sorry I have not been around in the months of late. Purchasing this company I work at has really sucked up any and all of my free personal time. I still have to finish the postings of 'how to cable' here someday soon. Now that things are settling down, I have more requests for...

Put your 12vdc or 24vdc 1" deep in the ground. Who cares. PVC conduit, EMT conduit, direct underground...there is no NEC code application in this case when it comes to a homeowner doing his thing. I have 24vdc running 100' out to my lamp post in 6" depth using underground solid core Cat6. No...

You get one shot at putting this cable in the ground. Do it right. Get underground gel filled Cat6. Sure, there 10-20 folks here that say no problem, has been ok for 10 years. I could list you 2000 other folks who had a indoor cable that was used outdoors in pipe or directly into ground that...

Your installation manual will specifiy what resistors to use. I, of course, never read manuals very well and relied on YouTube DSC installation vids to tell me what resistors to use. Of course, at the time, I was learning about EOL resistors and learning the do's and don'ts...so that is where...

I believe the intent of this Global Configuration is to help the Dahua AI determine depth from a 2D image. It's not 100% foolproof but it really did help knock down false positives (such as small animals walking by).

did you try out the built in VPN service? comes in super handy.

Ug. The new DMSS app broke my specific configuration. Looks like I have to spend a couple hours with Wireshark again to see if possible to fix. current setup: VTO villla door station used as doorbell & used as camera. I have 3 VTH's but de-installed them due to more convenient to buzz my...

muahahha...hahaha....oh boy.... wow....ahahahaha. I just had to say something about this :) Though we sell many of these types of cabinets to commercial folks, I always tell them about max LBS. If they are the robust heavy duty items, I refer to Chatsworth productos (still love their wall...

UI3 is your answer. Use substreams to knock down the bandwidth substantially. When you maximize a specific camera, that is when the main stream bandwidth of a single camera comes into play.

I still have to ask the customer lots of info. I could be totally wrong. MAYBE the customer would be AOK to actually have something like email alerts, and then fire up VPN client to log into UI3.

I have to ask the customer more details, expectations, etc. If they are AOK with something like email alerts or such.... I'm still good to go for use of BI. Of course if something critical happens, that is when they would most likely want to see live streaming. Hmph...conundrum

I love how in my home environment, Blue Iris goes deep down the rabbit hole for customizations. However, in a commercial environment, less could be better due to the less personalized needs. Interesting you say DW doesnt recognize 5442 AI alerts such as IVS tripwires. I assume the 5442 sends a...

I'll look into this nxwitness...thanks

My experience with Ubiquiti's and Mikrotik: Ubiquiti's "used" to be our goto point to point. Nothing fancy, they just worked and affordable. Until we had to shoot over a marina. Ubiquiti's wouldn't cut it. Tried 5 or 6 models. We tried Mikrotik, 100% worked. We now use Mikrotik for...

I have a 2nd quote to put together for a customer since I've started telling folks that my business works with IP cameras. Of course, I will only work with Blue Iris since I am wonderfully happy and knowledgeable with configuration options for home use. The 1st quote was simple: 20+ Dahua...

I'm vice prez of HOA board. Why pay for speed bumps at specific locations when you can have 8" deep pot holes here and there for free!

Northern Nevada and Sierra Mountain Range has been battered this year from rain, snow, wind, and ice. Not at all bad for we need it. But not so great for my outdoor Dahua IP cameras. In my mad rush to get cameras operational during Da Tire Slasher, I did not fully weatherproof the default...

During my time with Da Tire Slasher, I went down the rabbit hole in regards to home defense and security. I had to. Waking 3-4 times throughout the night when the sound of a leaf blowing in the sphere of my house (I'm talking 11pm, 2am, 4am, etc) wa a small price to pay to save my $1000 tires...
