Quoting from this thread...
Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2
The model number says it all. To me, this means the '16' of 5216 means that it can only accept 16 cameras...no matter if you have the 16 port POE version or not. And if you get the 8 or 32 channel POE, you can have 8 or 32 cameras depending on which one you get.
If the non POE version accepted 32 cameras via external switch, then the model number wouldn't be 5216,it would be 5232. At least that's my take on the subject....
You can set up an automation system like domoticz, hook external sensors to it, have them trigger stuff, or get one of those sealevel devices and connect it to blue iris.Can I make this cam work with external sensor triggers since it has no alarm i/os?
I did not really think about that before bc I have never used them.
It would be nice to have the one Im putting up as a choke point door entry off my back stairs to the garage that would trigger if something like a pressure pad were stepped on or say one of those driveway beam things was crossed.
So, basically not using any motion detection on the cam or my BI server, only the sensor trigger to initiate a recording alert.
Is there just no simple way to do that without a cam having the i/o connections?
Best to Get them from Andy!
Start a conversation on here with him. If he's up, he will answer. He is +11 hours from EST.I am looking to pull the trigger on these starlights and I wanted to understand how I actually buy from @EMPIRETECANDY to get the the $170 pricing? Also, do I need to buy the junction box from him up front? I've tried to read through the 81 pages, but I click a link and then I'm reading about something else on the forums. Hah! Looking to grab 5 of these!
Thank you,
Harry

As a followup to my ordering of camera junction boxes. If you forget to order them, I'd highly recommend just getting them off one of the sellers on AliExpress that will ship using the ePacket. B&H Finally got my junction boxes in stock and is shipping them today UPS ground. They'll show up next week some time, bringing the total order to arrival duration to 2 weeks.
The ePacket delivery from Ali was rated at up to 21 days. Should have saved myself 50% and waited another week. OR ordered another camera and got them long ago.
I am definitely going to order a starlight mini dome for the front door.I vote for another camera, you can never have too many cameras.

Lol, you're too much of an enabler!
Even after it was up the turret has not gained a high enough WAF?
I only have one of my 8 cameras up so far (temporary mount); I'm still waiting for the junction boxes for the rest though. SOON.
I did take out a ladder and hold one up above the door to test it out and my wife gave me the Marge Simpson groan.
I hate that, why can't they just let us do what we waannnt. Maybe if you paint it to match, and like, camoflage that bitch somehow, pretend you're a Disney imagineer and you have to try and make it invisible lol.
