    Dahua, Hikvision, and other Non-NDAA brands are no longer sold in the USA

    I've been a Montavue customer for a few years now and have nothing but great experience with them. Since they have strictly been using Dahua cameras I was a bit concerned about this ban and called their support line to which they confirmed that they are switching to a different manufacturer...

    Optimal height of camera for animal, pedestrian, driver & plate-vehicle ID

    Usually 6ft-9ft is recommended for being able to read license plates clearly (basically close to eye level with plates), in my experience less than a 35 degree angle from the front/back of vehicles (too sharp of an angle results in blurrier plates), and a minimum of 20fps-30fps the better.

    Dahua DHI-NVR4108-8P-4KS2 Can't do Factory mode / Reset

    How old is this NVR? If its from 2017 or later it may have a default password. Dahua stopped using default passwords on firmware after 2017 due to it being a security vulnerability, so its worth a try. Username: admin Password: admin Username: 888888 Password: 888888 There is also the Dahua...
