    Natural Gas Generators

    You can spray it on paint, but you won't get any benefit from its protective zinc coating. The paint must be in contact with the steel to provide cathodic protection, otherwise you are wasting money.

    Natural Gas Generators

    Paint galvanized can prolong the life of the zinc coating, which by the way is a sacrificial metal that protects the underlying steel by generating a negative voltage (cathodic) to prevent corrosion.

    UniFi cameras suck here - do you see what I mean

    I have 8 Dahua OEM cameras, but I added two additional IR illuminators on two different cameras to get a farther reach and wider angle than the camera's IR illuminators. And the cost is minimal ranging from $25 to 50 dollar.

    Also you have to blame NVR systems for not implementing VPN in their firmware, or the ability for someone to install VPN on their NVRs.

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E firmware update problems with Zoom using IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras (EmpireTech Andy's hardware)

    Okay, I found that V4.02.0000000.8.R has a software issue with partial zooming in and out while viewing the cameras using the Web GUI. I found out that I can open another Web GUI going into Settings >Camera>Image> Click on "Auto Focus" and a window pops up allowing me to partial zoom in and...

    Google Home Nest or Amazon Alexa to view NVR camera via their browser?

    Tony, Thanks for the reply. I rather not setup RTSP. Another problem is I have H.265 encoding configured for all of the cameras which poses a problem with RTSP streaming as mentioned in the links. I would rather just stream using the browser in Alexa or Google Home Nest (if possible) with...

    Has anyone used either a Google Home Nest or Amazon Alexa to stream video from their NVR? I have a NVR-5208-8P-4KS2 and would like to stream one camera on the device, but aren't sure if the browser in either one is capable of doing this via the internet? Any information is greatly appreciated...

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    Caution. I installed DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.8.R.241030 on my NVR5208-8P-4KS2E and it won't allow partial zoom in or out with the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS vari-zoom cameras using web access (all browsers), but does allow zoom using SmartPSS. Not sure how it affects other vari-zoom or...

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E firmware update problems with Zoom using IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras (EmpireTech Andy's hardware)

    I seldom zoom, only if necessity dictates the need for closer inspection. And I have to disagree. I believe the NVR software controls the interface between the user and the camera's operation. Using the Web access doesn't give you direct access to the camera but is a bridge between the user...

    I updated to V4.002.0000000.8.R and since then none of my cameras are able to do a partial zoom using the Web access, which I always use. The cameras either zoom full out or full in.

    Andy, Can you help me on this issue. I purchased 9 of the IPC-HDW223`E-2S cameras, plus two NVRs from you in the past. Did Dahua stop supporting the zoom feature for the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras? The reason I am asking is I while back I upgraded the firmware to V4.002.0000000.7.R, Build Date...
