    Why is my camera taking so long to switch from Sub to Main?

    @wittaj - Sorry my reply to you is delayed so long - I wanted to thank you for your excellent and detailed reply - it was the Smart AI codec - I took that off, and it is much faster now. One follow up question I had - I had read that iFrame should be the same as FPS (so if I have FPS at 20...

    ONVIF -vs- RTSP -vs- ? for BI and Dahua (Andy's) cameras?

    Hi all - I was wondering what the best Make setting is for BI and Andy's Dahua cameras? I have had it set up for Generic/Onvif (what it detects them as), but I have been wondering if that is the best setting overall? Or is it better to selecta Dahua/*RTSP camera, since the actual models I have...

    Why is my camera taking so long to switch from Sub to Main?

    As the Title suggests, my camera (IPC-T5442TM-AS-2.8mm) is taking anywhere from 30-90 seconds to switch from Sub to Main when I maximize it in BI console, and also UI3. It eventually does get there, but in the interim, it's super blurry, and I can't see what I am after. I have other cameras on...

    Remote displays for camera feeds

    Looking for a little help. I am designing a 32-camera system that will provide coverage for 3 separate (but close) buildings. My question is for remote displays. I need to have up to 6 monitors showing a subset of the cameras (so if a person is in building 1, it can see the cameras from...

    update Lorex LNB8921 8MP to Dahua firmware - is it possible?

    That was the one I used - I went here (DahuaWiki), and filtered to find the closest model by specs - I don’t see the model you list there at all though, so not sure... iirc, when looking through the files before though, several of the similar spec cameras used the same firmware file, and in...

    update Lorex LNB8921 8MP to Dahua firmware - is it possible?

    @phenry370 - yes, I was able to do it, following the instructions here (Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP) - I ended up taking the cameras down and wiring them to a switch temporarily, as my network setup is somewhat complex, however once I did that, I was able to flash them. I...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    I am not sure I am following you - at the top you say "no change", but then you say below that "that error does not show up" - I thought your main issue was the 'MSVCR120.dll was not found' error - have you gotten past that?

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    You have to install a MS redistributable package - see below for help (note that I ran into this too, and had to install one of the packages this takes you to - the first one didn’t have what I needed, so I tried the others until it worked, (sorry - forget ehich one now...))...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    @alastairstevenson - OK - we are making progress! Thank you for the help so far! I got some time so hooked the camera to a switch with nothing but the BlueIris PC on it, and configged as per the instructions at the start of this - first time through it hung on one of the IMG files, but then I...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    Thank you, I will give that a try and I also plan on trying it direct to the computer instead of through a couple switches as it is set up right now… Do you know if that “install“ file is required or is that optional?

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    I changed the .ini file to allow write to everything, but same result.. :( But - in looking at your link in your sig, I found someone who ran into issues in a multi-nic machine, and my laptop has a dock, so has 3 nics - 2 wired & 1 wireless. I disabled the 2nd wired & the wireless & tried...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    how do I check that? From a Windows FS perspective, they are RW to my account - is that different since the TFTP app is presenting Root up as some sort of share?

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    note that my "install" file is 0 bytes, and that is what threw the error in 7-zip - I went to a different firmware file from Dahua, and that file there seemed to have the order of install - here is the contents from the different FW version (so assuming it won't work for me, but wanted to see...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    Hi all - I have the Lorex LNB8921, which seems to map to the Dahua N84CB34, and want to update it to the Dahua FW. I have been through the instructions on this site and several of the mods to the commands.txt file, but am stuck. I see the camera boot ok, and it seems to want to start the FW...
