    Need help with DDNS - Router - Cam setup

    Just got home...will undo the DMZ immediately and review the video. Could you be more specific, was most of the mess in the Router setup or something with the camera?

    Need help with DDNS - Router - Cam setup

    Know this isn't secure at all but wanting to make it work..Tried to get remote access to my Dahua 5216 16 POE NVR..couldn't get it to work. Thought I would eliminate any NVR setup issues, so I hooked my 4431 camera directly to my router, reset the IP address from the 10.1.1 IP, got a video...

    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

    Mine's worked great so far..only minor issue was the mouse started double clicking after 2 months, which was the devil with passwords, replaced it and works fine since then.

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    And again..recognizing known people...see anywhere I said legal face ID? What Soepkip said is what I meant..you can recognize a known person in general. And to break into a house...you can't do it from 50 ft away...think I mentioned that also. You can see the pics and read what I said. Call...

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    Here's the daytime pics.. white marker at 25 ft red at 50 ft. Pic 73806 is at 70ft. For anybody I know I could tell which person it is.. My reason for the advice was he initially stated he just wanted to tell what was out there..person or dog. If he wanted a legal face ID I wouldn't have...

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    You know, get tired of your crude comments...just because you have great technical knowledge isn't a license to be arrogant.. Why not just say I disagree, that's incorrect, etc like everyone else does. I stated known persons such as my neighbors, friends wife etc.. I'll take the time to tape...

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    Different people here have different circumstances..some in the city with a small yard where they can afford 3 expensive cameras to cover everything..some like me in the woods with a large yard and out-buildings where you might need a lot more cameras. Unlimited budget or retirees on a small...

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    I have 3.6 mm and can identify known people at 50-70 ft. Unknown people would be at < 50 ft. I would think about your individual circumstance..is there anything to steal at distances > 50 ft? If not you can tell whether it's a dog or person. As I told my wife...they can't break into to the...

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    Is there a camera 7 near # 4 at the end of the 22ft line? Finding that IR attracts bugs, which might set off some IVS. Might want to consider IR illuminators at different locations. The distances are not that far..so good. 2 MP starlight cams are better at night. Look under posts by me...

    Not impressed with Dahua NVR software

    I saw different push options under that Domitxx program..which one do you think is the best?

    Not impressed with Dahua NVR software

    I posted before you sent response... I tried that Domitxx program on the laptop. Had it setup but couldn't get the URL for the picture, therefore it wouldn't connect. My nerves are shot for today...been doing this almost straight the whole day...

    Not impressed with Dahua NVR software

    The problem being is I had just the cameras with a check mark, not anything else...and it reset the NVR, storage, everything else..somewhat misleading. Instead of us harping on that, any advice on how to get the alarm message with the snapshot instead of just the start and clear alarms?

    You might have a different version..don't know what a PEBCAK is but look at my pictures and version.

    Not impressed with Dahua NVR software

    Wasted the whole day screwing with it..can't get the F-ing snapshot to send per emails, just get start and stop alarms. You go to reset the damn cameras, have all the checks off the boxes except the cameras, hit factory reset and it resets everything. Reckon you have to hit "Apply" first and...

    looking for recommendation to buy NVR/system

    I've got a Dahua NVR 5216 w 16 POE. Steep learning curve. If you get an NVR you might want to get just 1 camera at first, play with it to learn. NVR would be bout $ 350, 1 camera about $ 170... Whatever brand you get stick with the same brand cameras. Most of the people here seem to be...

    NVR for Dahua IP Cameras - Recommendation

    I might agree with Fenderman on that. If you already know Blue iris, why switch? The Dahua NVR I have has a steep learning curve, struggling just to get it to send snapshots with emails. The manual explains in translated English what each menu item does, but not necessarily the setting to make...

    New 16 camera system needed for small shop...

    At what distance do you need to view with the 6 outdoor cameras? Trying to cover a perimeter or specific close areas? Finding 2MP can identify people very well up to 50 ft in day. The 2 MP starlight type cameras do better than the 4-8 MP cameras at night.

    Dahua "Local Alarm" input is speed challenged?

    Having the same issue now that I've started messing with emails. Having mine sent to my cellphone, but only getting the start and stop message, not the one with the snapshot.
