    Camera Configuration IE Logo Not Working

    Thanks very much everyone. I tried the easiest first, a reboot. It still did not work. I noticed the first time you try it, it slides a text message into the address bar that says “popup blocked”, but then it disappears quickly. I must have missed it before. I added the NVR address to the Edge...

    Camera Configuration IE Logo Not Working

    My Dahua N52B2P2 8 Channel 4K ePoE NVR and two cameras have been working well for some time. I connected a new third camera, EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE, and it started working without any configuration. I need to enter the camera page to adjust some things, like vertically flipping the image, etc...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    I already have a Dahua N52B2P2 8 Channel 4K ePoE NVR. If I want to buy a Dahua camera from Andy, do I just go to the EmpireTech-Andy seller on Amazon? Are the Amazon items Dahua equivalent even though the brand is EmpireTech? Thanks!

    How do you Adjust the Dahua IPC-T5442T-ZE angle?

    I have a Dahua IPC-T5442T-ZE that I installed a while back and now I need to slightly adjust the angle. The manual gives no clue about this other than to show a picture. Just guessing it was involved, I have loosened the small star screw in the center just under the top ring but nothing will...

    BI vs NVR

    Thanks everyone. I apologize that my style of learning involves putting forth admittedly ignorant and unresearched positions to receive valuable corrections. The take away messages I now have and that I am very grateful for are: 1. BI can function very well in a sealed location. The...

    BI vs NVR

    Thank you all for this insight. I will look into BI as an option. Any thoughts on my fears about SmartPSS? Would you run in on a security sensitive laptop? Why is the publisher unknown?

    BI vs NVR

    I have an older Dahua DVR and a more recent Dahua NVR. When traveling I VPN into my home network and access them with SmartPSS. Unfortunately, I can only offer more questions instead of reliable advice, but my main concerns with the NVR/BI decision were as follows: 1. The recording device...

    How would you handle "out of town" Police communication?

    Thanks very much! I have never uploaded to YT and didn't know they had a private option. I suppose that is also how I would post clips here.

    How would you handle "out of town" Police communication?

    I know several here have home security cameras specifically because they RV and are away from home for long periods of time. That is my case as well. I am thinking that the time to figure out exactly what to do is not when something happens. I am not in a City. I called my county Sherriff's...

    Camera for end of 1000' driveway ? WiFi? Ethernet? Other?

    I hear a lot about not running Ethernet cable parallel with 120V in a house. I have a similar situation outside but only 250'. Are you saying I could put both in the same trench? In my case it is Dahua ePoE CAT-6 Riser/Shielded F/UTP and 12/2 or 10/2 UF copper 120V wire. Would using two...

    Buying new cameras - IPC-T5442T-ZE 4MP

    Does Varifocal mean you can change the Focal Length from 2.7 mm-12 mm through the remote interface if you are monitoring it? or does it mean it automatically zooms on activity without operator intervention?

    Dahua N52B2P2 NVR Search "skip to end/start" buttons not active

    When you are going through a lot of motion detected segments, it would be helpful to skip to the next one or return to the start of the one you are on. Does anyone know why these functions are inactive? thanks very much, fred

    NVR connection to a TV

    I am doing the same thing, possibly up to 4 using an HDMI splitter. I am just learning all this, so I do not speak as an expert and welcome corrections and suggestions. My Dahua NVR HDMI output is 4K (3840 × 2160) HDMI version 2.0 and 60 Hz. All these things matter when selecting HDMI...
