    Permanent "Holiday" Lights discussion

    Definitely makes your camera situation more challenging, especially if you plan on having them on all the time. Even more so if they’re out in the yard pointing back at house. I’ve had to go back and reposition several clients cams where they did the soffit permanent lights afterwards. If you...

    Can i directly connect a non-onvif IPC to a dahua NVR and use RTSP.

    I’ve never been able to directly connect anything other than their previous brand; FLIR, or dahua oem’s. Everything else has always had to be on a switch with onvif user/pass. Maybe someone can chime in about rtsp but I thought that was for a stream out from nvr not a camera in.

    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    I wouldn’t worry about secondary non target poisoning as long as bait is secured. Almost everything available is an LD50; a mammal/bird needs to eat 50% of its body weight for a lethal dose.

    dh-ipc-hfw1220rmp Hard Reset

    Did you remove those 2 screws from first pic and look on back side? If it doesn’t have a button then you’d have to find the 2 points on board to short.

    High zoom PTZ recommendation

    I agree with broach, you’re going to have to spend at least $700 if you want anything decent. I put the same one in, this optical zoom from clients location is a half mile out.

    Camera quit working in the cold

    You could swap the cams with each others cabling and see if it follows or then other cam does the same thing.

    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    Last winter a mouse chewed through a little wire that engages the 4wd, just a fluke I saw it and scotch locked it right before the ice storm hit. Bought a bunch of bait and rodent stations from domyown.com These are in tool shed on back deck, including my 20 year old gamo!

    Merry Xmas, what’s everyone cooking today?

    Did they say how long it took to smoke? I’d always done our family’s and got tired of staying up all night out in the elements when I discovered smoking it for 3-4 hours at 300 came out juicier with a crisper skin than 200 all night.

    Ubuntu Camera Management Software?

    I’ve always wondered as a Linux user why they can’t make Linux based cameras and nvr’s work with my Ubuntu/Mint installs without VM. The only reason every laptop for the last 15 years was dual boot was for cameras and home theater/automation remotes.

    Dahua WizMind Series NVR Powerful Hardware Held Back by Outdated Firmware & Poor GUI

    Op you may be expecting too much. As a dahua partner I got 5 years of little questions asked warranty on hardware. To date I’ve sold, serviced/warrantied $5.6 million in their products and have figured out how to do/fix things their engineers couldn’t help with. I’ve never gotten so much as a...

    First real world impression of Luminys

    Well I just got back in town from a 3 day 22 camera install and now that ADI can no longer supply dahua I pulled the trigger unfortunately. I don’t even know how to convey the level of disappointment. Not about picture quality so the hobbiest may not care but if you’re going to install all day...
