    I am so tired of my HIK Vision NVR. Hanwha? Lorex? Problems with keeping the HIK cameras?

    My company was an authorized dealer for Toshiba business phone systems. Sold those things like crack. Thousands of customers in NV. Just like Dahua, regular customers could never call directly to Toshiba. Only to us, who sold them the telephone system. Home clients were never our target...

    I am so tired of my HIK Vision NVR. Hanwha? Lorex? Problems with keeping the HIK cameras?

    We had to install a couple Verkada POE++ 4lens 360 cameras. $4,000 a piece? No thanks against my puny wallet. Probably AOK for CEO wallet. Though, I am thinking of getting my techs certified on their IP cameras & alarm system (similar to Dahua's Lync system of camera + alarm) because very few...

    Dahua: all in one answer for home security?

    Andy just told me the bodycam MTP230 is $400'ish so that is a no go (for my use). I just may sign up to become a Dahua "partner" and work with Andy alot more closely and/or authorized dealer such as ADI. Wish Graybar USA was authorized dealer but Dahua says only Graybar Canada. I'll have to...

    Remember... these images are factory default. Usually would spend some time fine tuning a bunch of image parameters.

    Empirecandy IPC-T5442T-ZE + Ubiquiti and AI

    Let the camera handle all IVS related events to send ONVIF alerts to Unify. The Dahua cameras "should" be superior than Unify AI. Only way to find out.. is to try for couple weeks using camera AI. And then couple weeks using Unify AI. can't help you with 'spotlight' issue.

    I do not use the "attach files" button. That fails. I drag the pic from my windows explorer right into the message body for full image.

    I just uploaded 3 images. Could not put 3 images in 1 posting. Had to do individual full image postings for each pic.

    2.8 PTZ

    You are correct. Does come with arm. Didn't see it under the packing. FYI: does have HUMAN only auto-tracking (no doggies). Does have the AI functions for IVS like tripwires, loitering, parking detection, etc for the 180. Looks like not possible for the PTZ though (could be... maybe I just...

    2.8 PTZ

    This camera does require a Dahua PTZ arm mount. Which I did not get (oopsie). So temp clamp works for quickie testing.

    2.8 PTZ

    The camera is not straight. It's just clamped to a pole to get it up in the air. Not leveled or securely mounted. Temp situation :) I gets pretty dark in my neighbor's back yard there. Waiting to see the night images.

    And for Blue Iris... have to add camera with IP address/user/pass and then 'find' button. Have Channel1_MainStream and Channel1_Substream for the camera. clone the camera so you have to re-add it with ip addres/user/pass and then 'find' button. Have Channel2_MainStream and...

    Dahua: all in one answer for home security?

    I started here at IpCamTalk back in 2019 for home video security while an employee at a low voltage cabling business. I am now the owner of said business. With the gained knowledge via IPCT of what the difference is between a crappy camera and quality camera, focal length, aperture settings...

    2.8 PTZ

    Hmm... good question. I would imagine it is a single camera with 2 channels (180 view + PTZ view). Maybe I should take home and slap into my Blue Iris to see, tomorrow.

    Your friend wants a PTZ to "follow" your dogs around automatically? Or does your friend want to manually PTZ around to catch blind spots and/or zoom in when needed?

    Just wanted to say... I gambled on the Dahua WiFi Floodlight (IPC-L46N-USA). Glad I did

    1/3" sensor...for sure bad motion blue. I would not want this to be the only camera in the area. I have 5442's and PTZ for primary covering driveway and all front area.

    Just wanted to say... I gambled on the Dahua WiFi Floodlight (IPC-L46N-USA). Glad I did

    I needed to swap out my dusk-to-dawn flood light from the paranoid days of The Tire Slasher, to a security light that only came up during motion without lighting up the entire neighborhood at 3am. Andy told me about the L46N floodlight with a WiFi camera built into it. 1/3" CMOS sensor which...
