    Best indoor and outdoor cameras from Dahua ?

    Ideally, there should be at least 2 cameras at the entrance. One facing from the door out just above it to catch traffic coming into and another facing the door to capture traffic coming out of the store

    NVR Help!

    I would guess it may be either an IP address/subnet issue or passwords don't match. I can't think of anything else that would cause all those cameras to go offline

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    New Shed - Camera Suggestions

    As I mentioned, unless I'm not seeing it, there are no crossties nor joists connecting the tops of the walls that the rafters are nailed to. It means that all the weight of the roof is pushing outward on the side walls, which can cause the walls to bow outward

    New Shed - Camera Suggestions

    I'm curious why they didn't use any collar ties to keep the sidewalls from spreading? And typically, joists are run parallel to the rafters, not perpendicularly.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    There are some serious issues with auto tracking. I hope they are working on a firmware update as auto tracking is one of the main reasons I purchased this camera

    Always be careful of new users trying to sell things at too good to be true prices, especially with no pictures. They can be scams

    Best indoor and outdoor cameras from Dahua ?

    Ideally, you would want a camera right outside the entrance pointing towards the door from the canopy to capture traffic coming out of the store. And the cameras viewing the parking, might get better coverage if the views were reversed as in crossing lines of sight

    Best indoor and outdoor cameras from Dahua ?

    For POS area, from what I'm reading, most installations use a close-up camera directly over the POS for capture of cash exchange and another overview camera to capture a wide shot of the area. Seems a text invertor can be used as well to get real-time register information and be overlayed onto...

    Oh well. At least I had the car maker right. Oh, and I knew it was a truck - any points for that?
