    Video/Event delay - Turn Sprinkler on when an IVS rule is triggered

    Having the camera's brain decide when there is motion situation, and then having it action the local electrical output, would be the fastest way to get the alert. Then you'd have to wire that camera output wire to your electrical field device, which is cumbersome in your case.

    is my camera connecting "outside"?

    Promiscuous mode on your local adapter does not change the fact that your network switch is suppressing/hiding/filtering the unicast traffic between the camera and the internet from you. The only way to really do this is to use port mirroring on a managed switch, or make your own computer the IP...

    How about a new review, what about 2, 3, possibly 4 ?

    Please, I beg you, convince me that something interesting is happening in this space. It feels so stale, like nothing has changed for 5 years.

    Dahua API to add groups and group permissions

    Are you trying to avoid logging into the webpage of each camera, as a user, and using the web page to configure more users and groups? (I don't know the answer to your question.) I looked briefly at the API doc and there's no way to add or delete groups.

    Dahua Cat 5 wiring.

    Best practice would be to disconnect the RJ45 male (network cable) from the RJ45 female (camera harness) using the tab on the male RJ45 connector. This is preferable to cutting the camera harness, at least where I'm from.

    Limitation on WDR setting

    WDR also disappears when the camera is set to 60Hz indoor/outdoor flicker prevention.

    Dahua recommended settings and education needed

    I think Smart IR setting tells the camera to run a control loop where it adjusts the brightness of the IR emitters based on how much light is in the scene.

    Dahua Cat 5 wiring.

    The connections on the RJ45 connectors and cabling from your network switch to your port that the camera connects to are industry standard, nothing to do with Dahua.

    Iframe interval on Dahua cameras

    Setting i-frame rate to 1 per second is not optimal. It is inefficient and results in larger bitrate than is necessary.

    WDR vs SSA

    I find WDR-25 to be the best general setting. SSA can look nice and show lots of brightness in the shadows, but it is almost too much. And most importantly, I end up with SSA cameras often doing a 'hunt' or fresh brightness calibration every so often, say once every 30 minutes: they go full...

    The Importance & My Recommended Usage of I-Frame, CBR vs VBR, Shutter Speed In Your Configurations

    Not that I can prove it, but I'm pretty sure that, given a scenario of finite storage space per camera (let's say 10GB / day) of continuous recording (aka 24/7), then VBR will result in overall better footage to look back at than CBR - both during the boring times and the interesting times...

    I've neglected my system. Should i update firmware?

    It can be entertaining to upgrade firmware every year. But usually there are no problems that need fixing, and sometimes the upgrade will modify some functionality you care about. The more advanced and special features you use (such as motion tracking, object tracking) the higher the risk a...

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    Interesting point. I recall seeing times in XProtect Expert where I've added a device that exceeds the license, and it adds to the system but then doesn't go online state - it has the 'offline' state icon beside it, and with the mouseover tooltip it says something like 'license exceeded'. With...

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    Yes, 1 device license per channel of the NVR. This is a relatively new policy of Xprotect, I would estimate about 2 years ago. Prior to that, devices like an NVR with multiple cameras inside would only consume one total device license.

    What Hardware?

    A few thoughts: You didn't specify a version of XProtect, so no way to answer with specifics You didn't specify how many cameras are being watched simultaneously per computer, and what these cameras' resolution, framerate, bitrate, and encoding codec are Milestone certified partners have access...

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    I'm running a Xprotect expert 2022r2 system with the Dahua X72A3A4 NVR version V4.001.0000000.15, Build Date: 2021-10-13 . Xprotect is set to connect via ONVIF Conformant Device, admin account. When I look in the NVR's config pages for users, I see an admin account in both Account and in ONVIF...

    Any way to Add USB Ethernet NIC to Dahua NVR??

    What if you were to add a second NVR? Connect it to the same cameras in parallel (if analog camera cables). Then each NVR has its own IP, physical network connection, and credentials.

    Possible to set a specific "folder view" in the smartclient from a web-application?

    I could be wrong, but I think in Milestone, in order to change the camera that appears in Milestone Smart Client tile rectangle, you have to utilize the 'Smart Wall' feature. I think Smart Wall content can be manipulated by things outside of the client viewing it.

    Interesting test of IPC-Color 4K-X

    My thoughts: At daytime, the 3.6mm has like 10% less FOV and everything in the view looks 10% bigger, but I don't really see any difference in quality/fidelity of the image. Things are bigger, tiny details are 10% more visible, but nothing more. At nighttime, the 3.6mm is making the dark areas...

    New cameras for new building

    Fisheyes are king of the '1 camera, 1 room, see everything' solution. The biggest challenge is dewarping the view so it is easy for a human to watch the video.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Regarding the first video: That looks good! The fidelity of the people that make up such a small percentage of the view is impressive. Regarding the second video: It only lets me view in 360p. I assume it is still 'processing'.

    Need Advice on Software

    Milestone XProtect line of VMS has products that meet the needs you mentioned. My impression is that Milestone software is primarily focused on being a camera VMS, with add-ons to enable other types of hardware like access control, intercoms, video analytics. It can handle any number of cameras...
