    2 Question about DS-7608NI-E2/8P (HDMI quality and Microphone)

    On my Dahua NVR, if you are on 1 camera full screen, it is mainstream. If you have it split with only 4 cameras on the screen it is mainstream. But, if you have 6/8/12/16 cameras on screen they all are substream.

    Dahua DH-IPC-HFW4421D-AS POE 4MP HD 80M IR WDR IP67 Network LXIR Bullet Camera

    I looked it up, I was assuming it was the new turret with SD card slot. I've seen this one on ali, but that's about it also.

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    UPDATE: As of now, it's still doing the same thing.. I swapped out the WD Green drive a long time ago, I have a WD Black in there for a few weeks now. It still does it, new POE switch and all. Anybody else have a last ditch idea?

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    I got the TP Link 8port POE switch, I have it hooked up now. I will be testing it to see if I still have the same issue. It has to have been my POE switch, I have eliminated EVERYTHING about the setup, except for the NVR itself. I'll post back what I find out! I'm scared, I hope it fixes it lol!

    Package Thief Loses More Than He Gained (not mine)

    Nobody cares about your own stuff more than yourself. It's just stuff, but still. Always use your head and not emotions at all times, but what happens is what happens.

    Does anyone deploy imitation/dummy cameras in their setup?

    If you really wanted to add non working cameras in those areas, get real cameras and just mount them. It would be almost impossible for a person to know that they weren't recording. The decoy cameras always just look fake and everyone usually can tell the difference. I know it's extra money...

    Does anyone deploy imitation/dummy cameras in their setup?

    No, I understand. But, it's really not that hard to figure it out, honestly. You can take it step by step and learn as you go, I see there being no rush in getting the real cameras up and operating, since fake cameras were going to be installed anyway. So it's a learning experience and will give...

    Video freeze in motion detection enabled

    The same thing happens with my 24/7 recording setup, that when motion is detected it will record motion also. (Which does nothing since it's already recording 24/7, BUT what it does do is on my video playback timeline, it will highlight in yellow the time frame where motion was detected) So...

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    I was going to say, check that your scheduling is setup correctly on each and EVERY day. It's probably something simple that's over looked. I did that on my NVR on the intelligent rules recording.

    More image noise when it rains.

    I'd imagine maybe more movement in the image. Kind of like compression artifacts in action movies. You will see pixelation with blocky objects in fast motion scenes, or fire, smoke, etc.

    IPVM 4MP Shootout - Dahua vs Hikvision

    My dahua 4MP is really great in low light. I would post screen shots to explain, but it wouldn't help. Here's the deal, I have a building with a 3foot x 2foot window. It has the vertical thick blinds. You can see on the camera the window is glowing when a light is on inside while the blinds are...

    2mp 12x dahua rebranded dome deal

    The mounting is different, but looks good and much better than the long neck tear drop base it has.

    A View of Silicon Valley

    From the description I thought it was going to be auto tracking the plane and landing, and zooming in on the landing. This was still awesome though! The view is great.

    Does anyone deploy imitation/dummy cameras in their setup?

    If someone is going to the effort to put up a fake camera. Although I suppose it only takes putting in a couple screws, I would much rather put the effort into it by adding a real camera. If something happened, I'd rather be able to see what happened rather than not just because I "thought" a...

    There are a couple threads around here I've posted in about MICS. I have some cheap ebay ones and they pick up very nicely. Look around and you should find my posts.

    Trigger WiFi-enabled LED light bulb with Alert, or any better ideas ?

    Check into this, I saw it on the TV last week. I was skeptical about it, but from what the video demonstration showed, it seems really great. I do not have one, but if you can find the video demo of it, you may very well be interested in it...

    Why do businesses use such crappy security cameras?

    Back in 2005 I think it was, I bought a timelapse VCR and it was like $500 Now I can't even sell that VCR lol

    Borescope.

    There is a post somewhere around here of an HD one that a person bought on Amazon I believe it was. If you do some searching you should be able to find it, Amazon is iffy. Different sellers use the same description for things that they sell. So the problems happen, just like yours.

    Dahua camera freezing on motion detect?

    Just for the information, when I'm logged into a camera on the webportal, when I'm changing settings for the video on 1 camera; brightness, sharpness, gamma, etc. After a couple minutes of changing settings, a couple of the other cameras will "drop out" Very weird.

    Trouble with settings on new 4MP turret

    If a person really likes Chrome, get an older PORTABLE version of Chrome. For someone who doesn't know, If you download the PORTABLE version, it runs from the .exe without having to install it. You can have the PORTABLE version and the current updated version both running without any problems.

    Just some info on the bike riders, everyone you know that doesn't ride bikes, tell them when driving, look down at the road, and up all the way before pulling out to see if a biker is coming. I think it's called something like "train tracks watching" Where you start from where you are...
