    Did Dahua go out of business?

    The camera I ordered from Amazon just arrived and it's a genuine, factory sealed Hikvision so I guess it's not too bad. I ordered this for 2 reasons, one to check out a POE NVR I just bought and 2 to use as a hallway cam. It was cheap so I'm not really expecting much. I'm sure I'll have to deal...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    I ordered one from Amazon, Real HD is the brand. I fully expect to be disappointed. In fact, looking at the reviews, it doesn't really matter which brand I chose I'll be disappointed. :banghead:

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    If the buyer/end user doesn't have access to the products it's not a very sound business model. Such as in my case, Dahua lost the opportunity to make future sales. I'm sure I'm not the only one. as for what their intent is, I couldn't care less.

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    Looks like it's time for me to abandon Dahua and go with another brand. It makes no sense to me that a company would pick and chose who it sells it's products to, especially when it chooses to eliminate to majority of the buying public. But what do I know. :rolleyes: Goodbye Dahua.

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    Other than a couple EmpireTech cams on Amazon I haven't been able to find any that aren't so stupidly priced that I can't see anybody buying them ($2699.99 for a 5mp dome cam? Gimmie a break). There are none on eBay. All the others are found are grossly over priced and being sold by "Dealers"...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    The only thing that's turned on in the overlay tab is the channel title. I disabled that and the block was still there so apparently that's not it. I've played around with all the settings I thought might have something to do with it and still no joy. EDIT: Playing around with it some more I...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I've discovered something strange about mine. It has a 360 degree horizontal field of view. Wasn't expecting ting this first time I saw it. I hope it's by design, if not it will surely self destruct when the wires to the turret break.

    Am I asking for trouble?

    New cable is a Monoprice Cat 6 advertised as 24AWG Pure Copper so I can sleep good at night knowing a crap cable isn't going to destroy my new cam. Running a 100ft cable in the attic was no fun tho.

    Am I asking for trouble?

    Just replaced my backyard cam with a Dahua IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV 180 degree view camera. The cable runs thru the attic and is probably 100ft long. it's an el cheapo Amazon Basics flat cable. Camera is connected to a POE+ HP switch. It works just fine but I'm concerned that the cable won't be...

    Can someone recommend a cam for my dark backyard?

    I actually have one of these doing duty on the inside. Think I'll move it to the backyard and save some money. I have another I can use in it's place.
