    Dahua choppy playback: possible reasons

    Max recording on that camera is 20fps@4M(2688×1520) What NVR are you using, model number? What computer are you using for playback? How are your computer resources during playback? What app are you using to payback the recorded files?

    Camera Recommendations for Basic Outdoor Usage

    You are over thinking it. 1-2 cameras. They're $70-120. Just buy one within your specs on aliexpress and see what you like. Anything is better then what you have. If you were building an entire system and spending $1500-2000 and needing remote access, that is where planning is crucial. You...

    Camera Recommendations for Basic Outdoor Usage

    If you a post a photo of the install area and what you need to view, people can help you better with the lens selection and anything you might not be taking into account. How will you be powering these? 120v power or POE cable?

    Question on iDMSS lite app

    Can you please email Dahua? They are currently troubleshooting it with me. Having another person with the same problem would be a lot of help for them. We have been speaking with Rebecca C. [email protected] Thanks

    What do you think of my potential set-up?

    Thanks. I'd be interested in one of these if you can provide a link at some point. Sounds like a competitor to the dahua mini black face at a much more reasonable price. Anyhow. I think your setup is reasonable. I spent hours debating blue iris and Dahua NVR. I went with NVR for my remote...

    What do you think of my potential set-up?

    Not a bad idea. I was just curious. Can you post a link to one at that price? Only one I can find is $299 with that model number.

    Question on iDMSS lite app

    God point TVT73! I got a hold of Dahua finally. They asked for camera and nvr models to troubleshoot why the iOS apps crash all the time. Waiting to hear a response.

    What do you think of my potential set-up?

    Dang, that sounds like no fun. Common sense would have told them to just talk to you guys first. House next to us just sold and they staked out the property line. First thing I did was go over and introduce myself and be friendly. I'd try killing them with kindness, much easier and cheaper then...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Sounds very odd. My brakes would squeal when the website gets forwarded to a new domain. I never give out last 4 numbers of ss. maybe try paying with paypal instead, good protection too.

    Question on iDMSS lite app

    Done! Great idea. iDMSS lite and Plus app crashing like crazy today trying to load the cameras. Nothing has been adjusted on the cameras. Significant issues with the iOS app.

    new here needing help. asap

    I don't see the camera lens of 4mm or 6mm listed on my mobile safari page but that is the lens you want. This seller gave me no trouble and arrived fast. https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/8030352214.html?orderId=77818345390577 Also look into a small face black dahua ptz camera maybe for...

    new here needing help. asap

    Perfect. If that CPU is stronger enough to run blue iris it will save you tons of $. AirPort Extreme is fine since u have a computer for the nvr. Google how to set up a VPN server on the the computer. Not a client but a server. Get 4 turret style cameras off allieexpress for $70 each...

    new here needing help. asap

    And do you have a spare desktop computer at home running 24/7 to act as the recorder/server or do you want a recorder box (NVR) to record all the action?

    new here needing help. asap

    Motion alerts on any camera are terrible. You will want a different way to detect a person. Either infrared motion detector like an alarm system uses or laser trigger or basic gate magnetic sensor. Why not get a vicious attack dog for the backyard and solve everything :)

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Imthought you you can't mix and match camera brands and NVR if you want all the features and ptz to work well, no?

    Dahua NVR Purchase

    Read my build thread. I went through the same ordeal. I don't recommend H.265. Google the difference. Most Dahua encode in both. Higher the mbs the better. Mine plays back 4 (4mp) cameras at once. I ended up with the 8ch 4K from newegg. Photos are often incorrect. best advice I can give...

    Question on iDMSS lite app

    I didn't know third party was an option. I thought we were locked into Dahua proprietary apps. But makes sense now, that is only for playback. Funny thing is, I did not touch the sub stream that was crashing the app. And today the sub stream loads fine and doesn't crash. Definitely something...

    Question on iDMSS lite app

    Reset the cameras to default settings within the camera browser. I am having the same issues you. Today one of my cameras started crashing the app again. I had not adjusted or touched anything. Main stream data stream doesn't crash it. It can easily play the mainstreams, is a some particular...

    Camera Recommendation for POS stations?

    Don't limit your purchase to USA. I just purchased through alieexpress and got exactly what I wanted in near the same amount of time for much much cheaper then the inflated USA prices. Get the proper focal length or the cameras will do no good. I just saw a restaurant that had what you are...

    Anyone catch traffic from this?

    You make really good points about ports that open my eyes. Open VPN was very hard to set-u,p but after the work is done it is easy. Let me know if you need any help. It is certainly a barrier for people to do it. With Open VPN and a compatible ASUS router: I was able to install an VPN server...

    Camera Recommendation and Placement for Hoodies

    I was just looking at this exact beacon last week!!! I wanted to add one to a tree so that I could trigger it if there was an authorized person walking the property. I was just unsure about how to get 12v power to it. Can you run another POE ethernet cable to it from the NVR and drop the voltage...

    Mounting SD59430U-HN on an existing pole...I need suggestions.

    Pretty Barn! I love properties like that. From my experience of installing the big black face Dahua, It is beefy and heavy! The mounts to the barn on that pole in the first photo does not look strong enough to handle the weight and a heavy wind. You are going to want a pole the is thicker then...

    Tried ordering the SD59430U-HN -- Hit with credit card verification request

    Why didn't you take my advice :) to leave the order unpaid. Then call your credit card company and get the fraud protection removed temporarily and re-order? It would have been a much more painless. Now you are stuck in limbo. You could have had your order already being shipped had you...
