    Camera recommendation for a wide area

    If this camera on your garage has the ONLY purpose of seeing 10'-15' at night to IDENTIFY, T180 will work. 45' distance to cover? Not going to happen with a 2.8mm or 3.6mm (like the T180 has). We do have a PTZ3E10X-T180 at my shop we are still playing around with. Kinda love it and thinking...

    Dahua Product Availability in the U.S. ends December 31, 2025

    Am keeping close eye on this. Now that my low voltage cabling business is in the black, was hoping to add-in becoming an Andy Dahua (or whatever the phantom name is!) NVR/IP camera reseller/installer. Already have 3 clients lined up. Looks like FCC meeting on Oct 28th is the determination.

    EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

    Had Andy ask me if the PTZ3E10X-T180 with auto-tracking actually zooms while following. Verified, that it does. But man... the web plugin issue. Just what IS the issue with monthly issues with Dahua web plugin? Which, I assume all web plugins have to jump thru hoops every time there is...

    2025 EmpireTech Product Release

    I foresee a time very near in the future that cameras will see into the 5th dimension at this rate! My 65 year old future self 10 years from now just sent back this Dahua camera IPC-5D5442 image of my driveway via Microsoft's Backward time stamping email. See?

    DMSS App and IOS 26

    I had a customer end of last week who could not see the "download" or "install" button on the iOS store. Had to send him in a round about fashion to Cnet to download the iOS DMSS App for some reason. Unsure if it was customer error or not.

    Android and iPhone push alerts - Not working

    push notifications rely HEAVILY on Android and iOS servers to do their part. The joy of the smartphone cloud use. Blue Iris just sends out the notification. Can use Wireshark to verify the notification gets sent out...

    Illegal Login - How do I stop this?

    Curious. Why port forward at all? VPN is the way to go. 2nd choice, P2P. P2P has it's down sides for sure...but still better than port forwarding.

    2.8 PTZ

    That is what IPCT is here for :) I would toss in a couple IR blasters all the way to the left...all the way to the right. But's that is just me. Or a couple 541's.

    URGENT!!! There will be new DMSS 2.0 and new cloud account mode & new cloud video streaming

    My work just installed a Dahua NVR NVR64CH-8XI. Without any reading of instructions, we just scanned from the P2P screen, the SR code, then the DMSS code... logged in. It was our first time using the new DoLynk system and worked without any hitches for my 2 tech's. My 2 tech's phones are...

    Hmph... never knew. Sharing IP camera between 2 NVR's. How about that?

    I'm with Spectrum Charter at both ends. Residential account & Business account. I see the stream profiles you made different. I will probably go that route if needed. Just waiting for Spectrum to yell at me first :)

    Hmph... never knew. Sharing IP camera between 2 NVR's. How about that?

    Been running Blue Iris on a machine for personal use at my house for past 5 years with IP cameras all throughout the house here & there (20+). At my place of business, Dahua NVR with 4 IP cameras. VPN setup between house & work. For giggles, I tried to add work IP cameras to my home Blue Iris...

    Healthcare

    Say what you will about Dems or Reps... I just wish Trump put 75% of his effort into fixing the healthcare system. Leave invading Greenland for the next president. I thought he could be the only one out of the last 8 presidents who could. I am not in the medical field. But to me, should be...

    I am so tired of my HIK Vision NVR. Hanwha? Lorex? Problems with keeping the HIK cameras?

    My company was an authorized dealer for Toshiba business phone systems. Sold those things like crack. Thousands of customers in NV. Just like Dahua, regular customers could never call directly to Toshiba. Only to us, who sold them the telephone system. Home clients were never our target...

    I am so tired of my HIK Vision NVR. Hanwha? Lorex? Problems with keeping the HIK cameras?

    We had to install a couple Verkada POE++ 4lens 360 cameras. $4,000 a piece? No thanks against my puny wallet. Probably AOK for CEO wallet. Though, I am thinking of getting my techs certified on their IP cameras & alarm system (similar to Dahua's Lync system of camera + alarm) because very few...

    Dahua: all in one answer for home security?

    Andy just told me the bodycam MTP230 is $400'ish so that is a no go (for my use). I just may sign up to become a Dahua "partner" and work with Andy alot more closely and/or authorized dealer such as ADI. Wish Graybar USA was authorized dealer but Dahua says only Graybar Canada. I'll have to...

    Remember... these images are factory default. Usually would spend some time fine tuning a bunch of image parameters.

    Empirecandy IPC-T5442T-ZE + Ubiquiti and AI

    Let the camera handle all IVS related events to send ONVIF alerts to Unify. The Dahua cameras "should" be superior than Unify AI. Only way to find out.. is to try for couple weeks using camera AI. And then couple weeks using Unify AI. can't help you with 'spotlight' issue.

    I do not use the "attach files" button. That fails. I drag the pic from my windows explorer right into the message body for full image.

    2.8 PTZ

    You are correct. Does come with arm. Didn't see it under the packing. FYI: does have HUMAN only auto-tracking (no doggies). Does have the AI functions for IVS like tripwires, loitering, parking detection, etc for the 180. Looks like not possible for the PTZ though (could be... maybe I just...

    2.8 PTZ

    This camera does require a Dahua PTZ arm mount. Which I did not get (oopsie). So temp clamp works for quickie testing.
