    Vikylin and Dahua compatibility issues with NVR

    Ok, unclear what unhide means but I'm willing to try anything. Yes, I'm referring to the saved locations, I have other PTZ cameras but I've never had one with 255 pre-saved meaningless locations that I can't delete from within the DMSS App, these Vikylin cameras are a bit glitchy. Hopefully...

    Vikylin and Dahua compatibility issues with NVR

    Another question on "Favorite Points" with the PTZ. On my other off-branded cameras I could save new points, edit and so on. This Vikylin has 255 pre-saved points and although it looks like they are being deleted they just come back. It won't let me edit or add new points as it thinks the...

    Vikylin and Dahua compatibility issues with NVR

    You are 100% correct, I was finally able to get it setup and operational late last night. I wasn't clear what the ONVIF user functionality did but it worked and everything is operational in the DMSS App. Thanks!

    Vikylin and Dahua compatibility issues with NVR

    Purchased a Vikylin PTZ camera with the understanding I could use it with my Dahua NVR and DMSS App. So far, that isn't the case. I can see the video stream but I have zero PTZ function within the DMSS App, anyone have any solutions or suggestions?

    NVR's - Associated network risks and mitigations?

    Great explanation, I really appreciate you taking the time to spell out the details. I know enough to be dangerous, but that's about it. Anyone not within the network security realm is truly limited by "You know what you know" as for myself I just don't know what to search or ask as I just...

    NVR's - Associated network risks and mitigations?

    Thanks for the reply. These are private networks and agree they don't need to be NDAA compliant it was just a point of reference as we all know there are associated risks. When you say "DO NOT LET YOUR CAMERAS OR NVR TOUCH THE INTERNET" I might be ignorant in asking the question but how will...

    NVR's - Associated network risks and mitigations?

    We've been using various Lorex/Dahua NVR's and cameras for many years, haven't had any issues that we know of but the risk is always there. The low cost solutions are perfect for our rental properties, We've seen Amcrest products used in several posts and again these look to be rebranded Dahua...

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    Every other Dahua or similar camera we have installed have not had an IR filter, we have emitters in our barn and they work well.

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    Not yet, I don't have a good source for 110v in proximity of this camera. I might add one in the future but it's a low priority.

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    That is the only camera in the area, no IR light. I have used IR emitters with other cameras lacking night vision and those work well in these situations.

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    This particular camera is by itself at the bottom of our driveway, zero ambient lighting in the vicinity. It does work well when vehicle headlights enter the camera view, but it is only a momentary glimpse of lighting.

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    Camera works great for daytime viewing, oddly enough it has zero night vision. I thought Starlight meant night vision but apparently not. I believe Starlight improves and supports low light conditions, but is not an actual LED supported night vision, just a guess though. I don't have any...

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    I already have a Lorex NVR at another property and would prefer to use the Lorex App, if possible. Just comfortable with what I know, not opposed to using an OEM Dahua NVR if that ends up being the solution.

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    Recently ordered a EmpireTech PTZ2M-4X 1/2.8" CMOS 2MP 4x Starlight 2.8mm–12mm Vari-focal PTZ Camera. I have used other Dahua branded cameras successfully with a Lorex NVR but was told not all Lorex NVR's play nice. Anyone have any suggestions was Lorex NVR will work with these cameras? I...

    Web based viewing - Live View

    I'm hesitant to post this as I fear there was something I failed to read or maybe I'm just oblivious.... I've read the Dahua/Lorex software will be updated in 2022 but has something changed where it isn't working lately? The Live View I previously used with IE no longer works, I downloaded the...
