    Dahua Illuminator only stays on while I'm in Settings

    Resurrecting an old thread because of this. When people say to go to web page, does it mean web page or NVR ? Are web page and NVR settings pretty much the same for a camera or NVR ? I can access the NVR from my PC by typing in the IP address, but for cameras, I have to directly plug in the...

    How often do you directly access NVR ?

    Hey all, While I am setting up a new NVR, (which will live in the attic - not readily accessible all the time physically), I have an option of running a mouse extender and video cable to my study which will plug into my existing desktop monitor, so I can view / change the NVR settings. My...

    My house boundary in red. rear yard is a narrow-ish 4m deep on left and only 3m deep on right Thinking of putting a 180 cam in middle. Is that a good idea ? Also plan to put couple of sensor lights so they light up when there is motion. This should provide ample light for camera. Colour4K-T180...
