    Snipping pigtail wires an alarm-outs

    Just wondering if there are any potential problems with snipping one or more of the alarm-out/unneeded pigtail connections to reduce the size of the pigtail. I'm contemplating a tree install and will only need the POE connection and would rather jettison the other connections if doing so want...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    I've only had Dahua cameras so this would be my first Hikvision camera. Question to folks on this thread that have experience with Dahua cameras with human/motor vehicle filtering: is the AI on this Hikvision panoramic camera better, same, or worse than the Dahua AI when using the human/motor...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    For anyone with this Annke/Hikvision panoramic camera, how does the human/motor vehicle detection compare to the 5442 series and other Dahua cameras with human/motor vehicle detection filtering in IVS (not SMD) in terms of accuracy?

    NVR5416 remote access bandwidth

    That's a fair question and honestly it's been a while since I tried to access the NVR recordings on the LAN. I recall it worked previously on the LAN, though. I have 4hdds in the NVR. If I did a factory reset of the NVR, would I still be able to access past recordings? I would assume the reset...

    NVR5416 remote access bandwidth

    I've got a DHI-NVR5416-4KS2 that I bought from Andy to use primarily for 24 hour backup recording. I have gigabit fiber Internet and have a Netgear 16 port POE switch that is plugged into one of the ports of the router. I have 12 Dahua cams plugged into that 16 port switch, together with my Blue...

    Dahua NVR not showing POE cameras as connected

    I'm having the same issue, only my cameras are powered by a 16 Netgear POE switch that the NVR is also connected to.

    Error 8000274d (Failed to Connect)

    I'm having the exact issue with one of my Andy-cams. I can access the camera via the web interface and it will connect to BI but will lose signal a few times an hour. Started happening out of the blue.

    Okay, so--at the risk of sounding like a numbnuts--what does the target box do?

    TIOC target filter settings

    Thanks, wittaj. I guess I don't have a frame of reference for the minimum pixel settings to knock out the cat. Any recommendations on numbers to include in those fields?

    TIOC target filter settings

    I'm using a IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-3.6mm TIOC cam I purchased from Andy recently (V2.820.15OG000.0.R, Build Date: 2021-04-03). I have an intrusion box that triggers the camera occasionally when a cat--obviously not human--appears in the box, despite the "human" target filter being checked. My IVS...

    Review- 4mp Pinhole Camera Dahua/EmpireTech with 2.8mm lens

    I've not used one of the pinhole cams before, but I saw this updated version on the Dahua website that has sd card support and a human/vehicle detection, which would makes this very attractive for an application that I have. I also appears to be POE powered through the external box, unless I'm...

    Duhua 4MP TiOC Network Eyeball Camera 2.8mm

    I found this video that shows a someone wiring the output from a TIOC bullet cam to a siren, but that's about it. I'm wondering if it makes more sense to get a Z-wave stick and a z-wave triggered siren and have the siren triggered by BI.

    Duhua 4MP TiOC Network Eyeball Camera 2.8mm

    Thanks, wittaj. I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has any thoughts on a particular brand or model that works with this camera. Looking online it's tough to discern whether there are wiring inputs wires or power supply wires.

    Duhua 4MP TiOC Network Eyeball Camera 2.8mm

    Just wondering if anyone here has connected their TIOC (or another Dahua cam) to an exterior siren or a strobe light without going through an NVR? I wouldn't mind having another flashing light to complement the red and blue lights but an wondering if there's a way to connect directly to the camera.

    Transferring BI HDDs and install to another computer

    I'd like to transfer my BI install to a new PC. I have 2 8TB WD Purple HDDs with almost about 13 months worth of clips on both. I understand how to export BI settings to the new computer so as not having to redo setting up all the cameras (I run 22), but has anyone had success transferring their...

    Review - Dahua/EmpireTech Full-Color 5MP IR & White Light IP Smart PT "Active Deterrence" Camera - SD2A500-GN-A-PV

    Just wondering if the "human detection" in this camera is under the Smart Motion Detection menu or the IVS menu, like in the 5442 series?

    Comment by 'Billyjack5' in media 'Double-NAT configuration for Blue Iris remote access'

    CenturyLink router not blocking port 8000. I ended up resolving my issue by using ZeroTier to create a secure connection. Even after putting the Orbi into AP mode I couldn't get it work until I set up ZeroTier.

    Duhua 4MP TiOC Network Eyeball Camera 2.8mm

    I have a couple of the 4mp TIOC 2.8 cams. For my application they work fine, even with the less than optimal sensor to mp ratio. Here's one of the cams in action.

    Inexpensive paint sprayer recommendations

    I've painting some cams to match the color of my house and while I can prime them with spray primer, I need a sprayer to use the custom paint. Timingwise, I don't have time to send a paint sample to have someone make custom spray cans, but I'm looking for a cheap sprayer that can do the job...

    Reappearing DMSS push notifications

    Anyone else's DMSS push notifications reappear today after inexplicably disappearing for the last 10 days? I have Dahua cams (bought from Andy) in two separate locations and experienced this and just curious if it was a Dahua server issue.

    Dual router blues

    Really appreciate the response. The Orbi has an "AP' mode setting that I think would accomplish what you describe,though I'll need to wait until I'm physically on site to test it since I'm doing this remotely,which is why I'm hoping for a port forwarding type solution.

    Dual router blues

    In my area Quantum fiber is now servicing fiber for CenturyLink customers. They aren't charging anything for the CenturyLink modem/router, however, so I assumed the router had something to do with differentiating the legacy customers served by CenturyLink and the new Quantum customers, but that...

    Dual router blues

    CenturyLink router is this one: Axon (Greenwave) C4000. It actually has a decent interface with lots of options, port forwarding and NAT disabling among them. My Orbi is RB750,which also has a lot of interface options.
