    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Was there any event that occurred around that time everything stopped working? Power outage? Disruption of Internet service? Any new equipment installed? Any settings changed?

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Not to overlook the obvious, but is the NVR running on the same IP subnet as the router?

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    From the NVR webpage, selecting one of the camera webpages should show the IP address of the NVR separated by a colon and then a port number. I find it odd that the IP address of the camera shown in the browser. In my experience, I only see that when I'm connected directly to the camera.

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Without knowing exactly how the system is wired/connected, it's difficult for me to make educated recommendations on how to resolve the issue. A rudimentary diagram of connections would certainly help to understand this installation. I presume that you cannot access any of the cameras via the...

    DH-SD22204UE-GN - tuning tips for day and night

    Is there a reason for using a PTZ camera at this location? If there is little to no light in this location at night, without lots of IR or visible light, this camera will always struggle to produce a useable image. I know, I have a LOREX version of this cam and during the day it looks ok, but...

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Something is off. In your opening post, you mention you have a NVR5216-16p-4ks2e NVR, which is a 16-channel recorder. Then you mention recently that you have an NVR-5224-24P-4KS2 NVR. I have never seen a 24 channel NVR - only 8, 16 and 32 channel. Which is it 16 or 32 channel? Also, are you...

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Just a question, how do you have 20 cameras connected to a 16 channel NVR? Are all cameras connected to the POE ports on the NVR?

    Do you get the same error on all cameras?

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Try clicking on another cam first and then choose the one you want. It seems to be a known issue with port 10080.

    Why I hate phones...

    I also have very few apps on my phone. When Statefarm changed their app to include permissions for camera, contacts, mic and other things that have nothing to with monitoring my driving, I decided not to continue. Especially, since it didn't play well with some of my apps I use for daily...

    ONVIF messing with time on EmpireTech IPC.

    Not sure about Hikvision, but my Lorex NVR was known to override camera settings, especially time.

    True, nothing is safe and if DDG uses Bing, it might as well be considered a tracking device. Bill's not known to do things out of the goodness of his heart - ABMM (Always Be Making Money)

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    As if the camera itself wasn't bad enough, it looks like a smartphone photo of a monitor. That always gives it that special blurred mood setting Forgot to mention, the useless hybrid green/BW image. I love these types of captures

    Best indoor and outdoor cameras from Dahua ?

    Ideally, there should be at least 2 cameras at the entrance. One facing from the door out just above it to catch traffic coming into and another facing the door to capture traffic coming out of the store

    NVR Help!

    I would guess it may be either an IP address/subnet issue or passwords don't match. I can't think of anything else that would cause all those cameras to go offline

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    And as I found out, low bandwidth can be a factor as well, not saying that's your issue, just that it can affect the image quality by resembling noise

    New Shed - Camera Suggestions

    As I mentioned, unless I'm not seeing it, there are no crossties nor joists connecting the tops of the walls that the rafters are nailed to. It means that all the weight of the roof is pushing outward on the side walls, which can cause the walls to bow outward

    New Shed - Camera Suggestions

    I'm curious why they didn't use any collar ties to keep the sidewalls from spreading? And typically, joists are run parallel to the rafters, not perpendicularly. Unless I'm missing it, there's nothing to keep the walls from spreading out due to roof and/or wind load. Especially in a Hurricane...

    There are some serious issues with auto tracking. I hope they are working on a firmware update as auto tracking is one of the main reasons I purchased this camera

    Best indoor and outdoor cameras from Dahua ?

    Ideally, you would want a camera right outside the entrance pointing towards the door from the canopy to capture traffic coming out of the store. And the cameras viewing the parking, might get better coverage if the views were reversed as in crossing lines of sight

    Best indoor and outdoor cameras from Dahua ?

    For POS area, from what I'm reading, most installations use a close-up camera directly over the POS for capture of cash exchange and another overview camera to capture a wide shot of the area. Seems a text invertor can be used as well to get real-time register information and be overlayed onto...
