    Review of the Hikvision OEM model IPC-T2347G-LU 'ColorVu' IP CCTV camera.

    Check the image settings. Is the Day/Night Switch set to "Night" mode? If so then it would keep the light on.

    NDAA compliant manufacturer that does both surveillance AND access?

    I have used LTS Pro-X for cameras and access control. Can access both with the app. Is NDAA compliant.

    Not enough resource for motion detection analysis. Check the engine configuration in smart analysis.

    If you have cameras that are able to do processing on the camera themselves then make sure that is turned on. Now with that being said.... whether or not the camera has that turned on is the next question so while you can enable it on the NVR menu, it it is not turned on from the camera then it...

    DS-2CD2135 firmware upgrade

    Hikvision product have region locks on them so if you download a firmware and the region of the firmware does not match the camera itself then it will give you an error when trying to update. The firmware can be downloaded from the Hikvision website under downloads/firmware. You can select the...

    Not enough resource for motion detection analysis. Check the engine configuration in smart analysis.

    Your NVR has Acusense capabilities. So when you are setting up the detections it will give you an option whether you want to have the detection done from the camera itself or from the NVR. You only have a limited amount of processing power from the NVR side. If you set too many to be done...

    Running multiple NVRs Pros and Cons

    You shouldn't have any issues with multiple NVRs. Just go into DMSS and SmartPSS and either add it in using IP address or by serial number. While it is two different devices you can make a custom layout for viewing cameras from different units.

    Buying a used Dahua NVR - yes or no?

    POE is POE. As in "power over ethernet". When you turn on the "extend" feature it will take into account that the distance/length will be farther and will adjust for voltage/current drop. Having a port that says POE+ does not automatically mean the port will have extend mode. Having just the...

    Buying a used Dahua NVR - yes or no?

    Yes. You can do that. It's just that it would mean running another two conductor cable with a 5521 barrel plug to the camera/power supply which most won't want to do. Then need to make sure waterproofing is done on camera side for that plug. Another thing is needing to disable the POE power...

    Buying a used Dahua NVR - yes or no?

    POE+ or just basic POE has nothing to do with the max distance of the cable run. It has to do with the max amount of power the port is able to send out. POE is 15 watts. POE+ is 30 watts. Then there is high POE which is 60 watts and higher. Honestly with a regular camera then the standard...

    Buying a used Dahua NVR - yes or no?

    From my understanding when I was deciding on a NVR, the "E" is the ability to use extend mode for the POE. Where a standard cable length is able to effectively do 328 feet runs max on a good quality cable and termination, the extend mode would allow for longer distances using the same cable...

    Upgrading NVR from Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1/4P(B)

    Determine what you want out of the system and what you want to improve on. Are you wanting more detections/AI that the current cameras/NVR aren't providing? Where are the cameras plugged into? Are they on the built in POE on the NVR or external POE switch? Do you know the password to the...

    Adoption issue with NVR pro Ubiquiti

    -Try logging into the cameras in question using the IP address of the camera. Any issues? -Look on your network for another device that has the same IP address of your camera. That would cause connection and accessibility of the camera to go in and out. -Check power to see if it is an...

    Buying a used Dahua NVR - yes or no?

    I have the NVR5216-16P-4KS2E. From what I remember about Dahua naming..... "NVR" is IP..... "5" is the series. "2" is how many hard drive/SATA ports available. "16" means how many channels the recorder is... "16P" is how many built in POE ports on the unit. "4K" means max video output...

    Handling User Access - Dahua NVR

    Technically you could use software like SmartPSS and add all the devices to for management. It should send all the alerts and notification to the software. Could even go with like they say the DSS platform but there is more involved with setting that up. For one it requires a server to be set...

    Luminys

    I can say this.... Most of the personnel for Dahua USA and what is now Luminys is the same. There was a lot of people leaving Dahua and Hikvision before due to being scared regarding what would happen due to the NDAA ordeal though. Not too sure as far as what is really different as far as...
