    Hi All, My sister has an elderly person living in her house. There are a constant stream of people in and out -- visitors, caregivers, nurses, physical therapy types, etc.. Sis wants to set up a closed system with nanny cams in every room controlled from a central "command center". So ... we...

    SD49225XA-HNR/SD49425XB-HNR -vs- SD5A425XA-HNR & SD6CE445XA-HNR

    Picked up the 49225 and the 49425 and some other cams With IVS, my false alerts have almost gone to zero. My only slight disappointment is with the auto-tracking. It's inconsistent. Sometimes they will work absolutely perfect. Sometimes they lock onto a vertical 6x6 as a person walks...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    I don't doubt they would try. :-) I resurrected this copy of Windows 7 on a machine stored in the back room from 2014. The "about" item in Explorer claims: IE11 Version 11.0.9600.16428

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    The 49225 allowed me to login it to it once but I think I was too "rough" exiting and did not log out gracefully from the screens. From that point on, I could not get the Dahua login screen on that one cam. I've been real careful to logout of the other cams and so far I can still access D2 and...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    You had coached me on this before and it helped a lot. Pale Moon would get me into the SD49225 but as you've pointed out in other posts, I was not able to save my new settings for tracking time in seconds. That's why I had to access this one camera by plugging it into the switch. Then I could...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Just found something that may be the culprit. When SMD is enabled, the same channel is enabled in "Alarm --> video detection --> motion detection". Turning off the enable on the channel in Alarm --> video detection turns off the enable for the same channel in SMD. Apparently, these two menus...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Yes; been programming the NVR directly. I will try programming it thru Explorer 11. Note: I was accessing the cams thru Explorer and I think I must have exited non-gracefully because I can no longer pull up a Dahua login screen for the SD49225. To program it, this PTZ had to be plugged...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Ok ..... got a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E. D1 = SD49225XA-HNR D2 = IPC-T5442T-ZE D3 = IPC-color 4K-X Set up D1 with a smart plan and IVS (intrusion (appear and cross)). Triggering D1 also records D3. Triggering performance is inconsistent. How do I turn up sensitivity? Now for the strangeness...

    The monitor is attached to the HDMI port on the NVR. I does not look like a web interface.

    Dahua NVR w/poe "Live view": How to turn off intrusion box lines?

    Hope this isn't really dumb but: I've got dark blue intrusion box lines on my live camera display. I can't find any setting to make these lines disappear. What am I missing here?

    SD49225XA-HNR ..... Dahua sign in screen missing?

    Oh boy I've done it now. I logged into the DVR with Explorer 11 and everything seemed normal. I clicked on the Explorer icon for the 49225. A new tab opens and the status text leads me to believe that that page gets loaded. Except that the page is blank. I've got no place to enter user...

    Dahua nvr

    I did not want 24/7 recording so I turned off green recording. I turned on all other recording. The only one recording is the PTZ (cam #1). Cam 2 and 3 are not recording at all even tho they are set to motion record. ???

    The DVR claimed all cameras and the NVR were the most recent versions. Thanks for the heads up -- I won't update the PTZ. I'll give the plugins a try .......

    Dahua nvr

    Hello, I setup a Dahua NVR with some cams. Following excellent advice, I got the PTZ working fine with autotrack. But then I encountered some serious problems. Went thru the process of making sure NVR and all cams had the most recent bios. When I went to download the browser plugin for...

    I have the SD49225XA-HNR feeding into an Dahua 16 channel NVR. It's a very nice camera but the NVR does not recognize it as an auto-track camera. I have a number of hours on this system but don't see anyway to enable tracking when it's attached to my Dahua NVR. Maybe this feature is available...

    What do folks find is the best lens for a fixed focal length camera? I have one camera that will pointed down a driveway to a farm entrance about 300 feet away. Another cam will be looking up to 100 feet away in pasture. One camera will be looking 25 feet away into a 100 feet wide yard...

    The performance looks decent and price of the 4K/X is do-able. But that form factor ...... yikes. I could not find another form factor for that series. May try one anyway. I'll definitely try a couple of the 5442 series. Thanks. What's the best NVR under $400 in an 8 channel POE model...

    system design

    I can fully understand the POE switch with the network port feeding the Litebeam on the sending side in the outbuilding. All cams assigned static IP's. On the receiving end at the main house, the first component would be the receiving Litebeam. Then the RJ45 on the receiving Litebeam would...

    Hello all, Need a system installed on the farm -- thinking about something like this: Outbuilding A 1) has mains power available 2) need 3 or 4 starlight cams. Looks like ColorVu cams from EmpireTech Andy may be the biggest bang for the buck 3) cams connected to a router in Outbuilding A...

    small farm security

    Several of you have mentioned the Loco. These look ideal but the models I've seen have a single poe ethernet port. Are there models with 3/4/5 poe ports or what technology would I use to put multiple cams on a single pair of Ubiquiti antennas?

    Car broken into AGAIN!!!!

    False triggers are a major downside to driveway alarms. Ours are always triggering on deer and dogs here in the country. This AI cam sounds like what we need!
