How does the latest version on the Dahua site compare to this version being tested here? Specifically its DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.1.R.210716. This appears to be 7/16 fw whereas the one talked about here is 7/29? Also does SMD 3 on the 7/29 fw work better than the...

If you look around or know someone who works in an office building with access to "old" equipment you can get some pretty expensive UPS units for dirt cheap. I know of one company that purchases all of their UPS units new and then when battery replacement is due in three or four years they yank...

I see Dahua released a new firmware on their site for the HX5XXX series, DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.820.0000000.2.R.210403. Does this firmware update to SMD 3.0?

Click "search setting" at the top and enter the credentials in the box, then click ok. Took me some time to figure that out too.

I've been using Dow #4 compound on all of my ethernet connections outdoors and I haven't had any failures yet. Somewhat expensive to some but a 5 oz tube goes a long way. The northwest is wet but PoE exists in even worse places like coastal ports that get blasted with salt spray year round and...

I had my analog cameras up for about five years and just one night I noticed the IR didn't look that great. I tried it against an unused camera from the kit and the difference was huge. The IR leds had just worn out. It happens gradually so you really don't notice it. I just happened to catch...

It's on the dahua wiki website. On the left side column click on config tool under the software section. Here's a link to the page itself with the download buttons. https://dahuawiki.com/ConfigTool

I had one camera that would not update and did the same thing. I ended up using the windows config tool software and that seemed to work fine. Afterwards I was able to use the web browser for every successive firmware version so it just seemed to be an issue with that firmware.

That's correct you can run the NVR without hard drives installed. I had mine connected / disconnected for about a week messing with it until my hard drive arrived.

That's what I discovered as well. I leave both multicast boxes unchecked in the network section and it works fine. It seems that the one that includes broadcast in system is the key one. Also something else I noticed during testing, my NVR will accept my dahua cameras regardless of password or...

Also just to add to this discussion, if you have already initialized a camera and are trying to add it to a PoE NVR it will not work correctly with the multicast / broadcast search disabled. (Option in the system services tab on the camera) I wasted about two hours this morning trying to figure...

Yeah I forgot to add that. I don't "condone" any firmware at all just noticed they released the 717 and I was experimenting with it. :) Thanks for the info on the 717 btw i'll be sure to update my cams with your new release since mine are 5442tm-ase models. I was a little leery of the dahua wiki...

The firmware bin I used is DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.800.12JW000.0.R.200717. It's listed on the N45DJ62 which is I believe the north american model number for the fixed lens 5442 series. On this webpage. DahuaWiki

The rebooting issue is in firmware 620. Post #32 in this thread shows a picture of the change log entry for known issues. I did update two of my cameras to 717 and they seem to be working fine although I haven't really done anything in depth. I'm sure Andy will have his version of the 717...

The 200717 firmware is on the dahua wiki website available for download. As far as the IVS i actually didn't have any problems myself (I don't use IVS yet i need to learn how to) I just read in this firmware thread where the cameras would reboot and have issues after an IVS event was triggered.

Color mode at night is going to require quite a bit of ambient light to get good motion captures. A still landscape will look wonderful at a slow shutter speed but movement will not look good if the scene is very dark. I believe facial recognition and face detection are two different...

I see dahua released a new firmware 200717 recently. I wonder if this version fixes IVS. I can't locate a changelog anywhere.

I had one camera that would not update for anything through the web gui and I ended up using the config tool program which oddly worked fine.

They'll always be available to consumers that just pertains to government / gsa contracts.

I use Ubiquiti nanobeam dishes for situations like what you're describing. For a short link I turn the power all the way down (-4) and they work great.

I thought it would be a good idea to check does this firmware work on the HDW5442TM-ASE? I'm assuming it does since the B5442T-ASE is listed but I wanted to make sure.

It's the same camera only thing different is the ASE designation at the end which means it is EPOE for long distance runs.

Yeah it's a real pain to work with too. Incredibly ridgid. One end got damaged so I had to cut it off and at first I thought it was copper due to the color but I was able to shave off the outer layer to shiny aluminum underneath. For the system i'm installing now I purchased solid copper cat6...

The last lorex kit I worked with had CCA cabling with it. That was roughly a year ago so unless something changed I believe they are CCA.

The chinese region camera models typically end in C-A and cannot be updated with dahua firmware. If they do get sneaky though it's always best to buy from places like aliexpress with a credit card. It's a last resort if the seller won't comply but at least you can do a charge back.

That 5449 is an interesting camera. It matches up spec wise with the 5442t-ase-ni but with a 5449 number. I would think they would be identical performance wise. IR or not really depends on your lighting situation at the site. If you have plenty of flood lighting or street lighting i would...

The HFW5442-ASE-NI is a full color camera with an f-stop of 1.0 vs the 1.6 on the IR or LED version of the 5442. It will do better in low light but has no IR or white LEDs. The fixed lens bullet 5442 models are IPC-HFW5442E-SE - F1.6 2 IR leds IPC-HFW5442T-SE - F1.6 4 IR leds Those two are...

From what I understand ASE is epoe compliant, AS designation is non epoe. (10mbps @ 800 meters, 100mbps @ 300 meters) Edit - someone already explained it lol. Additional speed specs are useful i guess.

wopi82 did some night comparisons in this thread, one camera being the 1831E against others. The video might help you decide. Personally based on my experience when it comes to 4MP vs 8MP, at night the 4MP wins in detail as the 8MP cameras become pretty blurry and dark...

The specs for the 4108HS show it should be able to handle those cameras. Unless the one you have is not the 4KS2 model and a lower model. Decoding Capability - 2ch@4K(30fps)/8ch@1080P(30fps) I was thinking about getting this NVR (dahua oem) so this is interesting.
