I have this IPC-K42A and it works well.
But, on DMSS, when I want to watch the "packed" files recorded as in with the playback feature (one each 20 minutes is the setting) [see pictures], it always gives the "Failed connection" error.
It does work well with viewing "Live", instant alarm messages videos, full stream playback...

I attach the video and recording pack setting + the DMSS pack screen I am referring to in case it wasnt clear.... well if anyone can help :)

Oh good to know thank you! I was able to connect via Home Assistant directly using ONVIF using port 80 which is weird. It has worked "ok" but I may try to reconnect using that port and see what happens just in case others here are using HA directly for sensors and such.

@looney2ns 1 more question, do you know if this camera allows you to fetch the main stream directly? I have tried using wireshark (I don't have BI) and I am unable to identify how to directly tap into the specific stream.

This URL below works with VLC and everything after "554" is the correct path for the mainstream in Blue Iris. NOTE: Be sure to use TWO "/ " after "RTSP:", as the forum software won't allow me to post the 2 correctly. Of course, put in the correct cam's username, password and IP address:

Code: 
rtsp:/camera-user:camera-password@camera-IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
That being said, with Blue Iris if you put in a Dahua camera's IP address, username and password, then click on "Find/Inspect", BI should properly populate the URL and path.

EDIT: In the URL, if you change "subtype=0" to "subtype=1", the sub stream, not the main stream, will be displayed

THANK YOU! I did find a link to this later somewhere else, but this helps a lot!

Does anyone know how to trigger the siren? I can't figure this out.

NVM I figured it out!

Is it normal to see a dim red light when the IR emitters turn on? This is my first camera with IR.

What is the default IP address? I just picked up one of these and can't come up with a good IP for it. I would have thought 192.168.1.108, but it's a no-go.

I see that Dahua is listing this camera as discontinued. Does anyone know if there is something similar but updated that they replaced it with? Looking for a small POE indoor camera with IR like this one.

I know that they are still available for purchase. I was more wondering if there was something new and improved that I could purchase instead.
