    Did Dahua go out of business?

    As far as I can tell they are genuine Dahua even tho they're not branded as such.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Mine is outside, it can make all the noise it wants. Anybody close enough to hear it is getting their picture taken and I doubt they'll complain. Seriously, I've never heard a thing coming from mine.

    Mine has been awesome. The image quality and mega zoom never ceases to amaze me.

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Yea, it would be great for that as it's ultra low power.

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Thanks, yea, Google AI said pretty much the same thing. said it would run but would struggle. I've decided not to use it for BI. I was dirt cheap, $40 brand new factory sealed so I'm not out much. I'll repurpose it for another use. I'm currently running BI on a Xeon E3 1270v4 and it handles BI...

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Bought this thing off eBay. It's a regular computer running an Intel J6426 (4 core 4 thread 2.00GHz, Turbo 3.00GHz) with 16GB of ram. It has 2 independent 8 port POE switches which get their own network port from the computer. I have verified that everything works (with one cam anyway). I'll...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    The camera I ordered from Amazon just arrived and it's a genuine, factory sealed Hikvision so I guess it's not too bad. I ordered this for 2 reasons, one to check out a POE NVR I just bought and 2 to use as a hallway cam. It was cheap so I'm not really expecting much. I'm sure I'll have to deal...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    I ordered one from Amazon, Real HD is the brand. I fully expect to be disappointed. In fact, looking at the reviews, it doesn't really matter which brand I chose I'll be disappointed. :banghead:

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    If the buyer/end user doesn't have access to the products it's not a very sound business model. Such as in my case, Dahua lost the opportunity to make future sales. I'm sure I'm not the only one. as for what their intent is, I couldn't care less.

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    Looks like it's time for me to abandon Dahua and go with another brand. It makes no sense to me that a company would pick and chose who it sells it's products to, especially when it chooses to eliminate to majority of the buying public. But what do I know. :rolleyes: Goodbye Dahua.

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    Other than a couple EmpireTech cams on Amazon I haven't been able to find any that aren't so stupidly priced that I can't see anybody buying them ($2699.99 for a 5mp dome cam? Gimmie a break). There are none on eBay. All the others are found are grossly over priced and being sold by "Dealers"...
