    Setting Up a Firewall for Dahua PTZ — Is an Isolated Subnetwork Necessary?

    I'm looking into setting up a firewall for our Dahua PTZ unit. I want to make sure it’s protected from the main network it’s currently hosted on. From what I understand, we’d need to create our own subnetwork, which is then protected independently. We would block any inbound connections, and the...

    EmpireTech NVR / Camera Tripwire / motion settings?

    I'm not sure if this is technically an NVR question or a camera question but i received my NVR16CH-16P-2XI and Color IPC-4k cameras. I get that these are supposed to be white-labeled Dahua cameras but overall this feels like a huge step backwards. The first thing i noticed is that as soon as i...

    Difference between Dahua VTO2202F-P-S3 and VTO2201F-P-S2 intercoms

    Is there any difference feature-wise between Dahua VTO2202F-P-S3 and VTO2201F-P-S2 intercoms? Both of them are not EOL. From what I could find, VTO2202F-P-S3 supports: 2-wire newer firmware (and might be more complex to setup without VTH) Other than that, they seem to be identical.
