    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    Pretty sad. I have 18 dahua, 2 hikvision cams and most I have hell with continuous sd card recording. I have 6 wyze cams that have no sd card issues after 2 years. Given, the data transfer rate is likely much higher with the high resolution dahua cameras, but they should bump up processor power...

    Some Dahua unclarities

    It would simplify things a bunch of you could reassign static ip addresses to those two cameras within the same subnet, and then manually configure port forwarding in your router for the http port of the camera.. that's the way i usually do it, but I'm sure someone more experienced here will...

    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    Let me know if you try them, and if they perform any better. I usually give them about 6 months use before I make a judgment. Usually that's long enough to have a failure or two. I'm just wondering if the blame is the cards, or could the cameras own read write system be causing the errors? I...

    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    I've found a new card to try, specifically for surveillance cameras. Although I'm currently using SanDisk cards designed for the same purpose, I've always used WD purple drives in my NVR. maybe their sd cards will perform too. Here's a link so you can read the specs...

    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    I've been having these issues for years. I've tried the most recommended cards, I've tried the most durable "continuous write" capable cards, but they all eventually just stop recording. The cards then cannot be accessed until formatted. I have cards in multiple PTZ's, turrets, and bullet...

    Auto Tracking

    I shut mine off a week after installing it. I was getting better footage with stationary wide angle. Auto track was not only losing the target, but scanning far beyond the area I had intended to monitor. I have one that worked pretty well out of four, but I just gave up after adjustments weren't...

    Auto Tracking

    The auto tracking is all done within the cameras software onboard, and as far as I know, it's either on or off, and controlled through the cameras local GUI, using it's assigned web address. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    DH-SD49425XB-HNR need firmware please, auto tracking doesn run on.

    I think only HNI models support auto tracking. I don't think HNR support auto tracking. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Dahua audio

    There are very cheap add on microphones out there, but the annoying thing is they need they're own 12vdc power supply. I don't understand why they produce these cameras with line in audio, but don't provide a dc output to power the mic. It would be such a simple thing to add. Sent from my...

    Dahua audio

    That was a good suggestion. I had forgotten that I have noise reduction turned off on all my cameras, mic volume set at 100. But you mentioned that you only hear fuzz, or I'm assuming you meant white noise. The only thing I could guess is your source wasn't saved as internal mic, but maybe line...

    Yes, you should be able to hear audio thru either the monitor connected to your NVR, or through the mobile app. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Oh, your audio has to be enabled in the NVR settings as well for each individual camera. Kevin Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Dahua audio

    The audio is carried over the ethernet cable as well. If you have it enabled on your camera's settings, volume up high enough, and you still can't hear, check if your camera has built in mic or requires an external microphone. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Remote monitoring?

    Remote monitoring is pretty seamless if using one of the newer cameras with the barcode setup with IMOU or whatever they call the app now. If not it's still easy to setup with port forwarding and gdmss(idmss for apple). Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Need help with NVR purchase decision priories

    I've been reading and narrowed down to two models, the NVR608-32-4KS2 (ultra series, no H.265+) and the NVR5832-4KS2 (PRO series with h.265+ support) the ultra series had dual core Intel vs quad core arm in the pro, and few other features. My main issue is with the absence of h.265+ in the...

    Dahua SD card overwrite not working

    I have about 18 Dahua cameras and six recording to SD card to record motion events only. Eventually all cards stop recording, and are not even showing up. All cards have been tested and the only way I have found to get them working again is to get out the bucket truck, go to each pole camera...

    Modification - SD49225T-HN Add External Microphone Power

    I never understood why there was no 12 volt pigtail added for convenience of adding an external microphone. Just seems like a no brainer that there is a line level audio input plug, but no means to power a mic other than using a second power source. I just makes no sense. Sent from my SM-N920V...

    Login time out

    Check your network card properties to see what your network subnet is, make sure the camera ip addresses fall within the subnet range specified by your network card settings. This is something that took me forever to figure out. I was paying a networking guy for a couple years until I figured it...

    SD card issue with .640 firmware?

    Anxious to see a reply.. I have to randomly remove, reformat my sd cards and reinstall them. It's a pain in the ass!

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4631R-S IR Light Going Rampant

    That's not your ir going on and off, that's your mechanical ir filter owning and closing. If you stand near the camera you can probably hear an audible click sound. You can try to adjust your day/night sensitivity but I'm guessing the light sensor or associated circuit has an issue. You can also...

    SmartPss with Dahua

    I've found that anything above 4x causes larger video steps which would potentially skip over a short event. Maybe I need to update to newer dahua nvr. Or maybe just higher end. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
