    Audio out to speakers

    I didnt think there was a way to send audio to the camera and out of a speaker from a mobile device and that was why I hadnt bothered installing any speakers. I was waiting to see if any such solution existed or came out. So far not that I have heard of, which raises the question, well why are...

    What is the best iPhone app for dahua cameras

    Anyone know if iDMSS will work with a Q-See NVR? I have a QC8816 which as I understand it a Dahua rebrand and I would like another option besides the Q-See app.

    Dahua cameras

    I own several of the first link you posted (the IPC-HDBW4421R-AS) and so far the have been very impressive for the money. I have several other of their dome style so far and all have been very nice. The only one I dont care for too much is the wedge style IPC-HDBW4421F. Image looks like the...

    Audio out to speakers

    Good to know. Ill have to keep this little product in mind. Although I would want to be able to speak back through the camera from a smartphone app and havent figured out if thats possible yet.

    Audio out to speakers

    Wouldnt powering even a small amplifier like that over draw the standard POE current output?

    How-To: Audio Inputs

    Thanks man! Good post! On a slightly different note, have you ever tried a passive mic with an RCA connector on it plugged into the mic in on the camera? Wondering how much the amplification of a powered mic is really needed in the case of say using it indoors. Also, FWIW I also found this...

    Dahua replacement parts (Dome)?

    Never seen just the parts for sale. Have you tried contacting Dahua about it? What happened to it? Why do you need to replace it?

    I need help to connect a microphone! DAHUA HDBW4421R-AS

    Those are essentially the same thing as what nayr posted, but youd still need a power supply for them like the one nayr posted in the second link.

    I need help to connect a microphone! DAHUA HDBW4421R-AS

    Mic connected to the white RCA connector if I remember correctly. I have the same cameras but no mic connected to them. Youll have to find an outdoor mic though. With an RCA connection (or rewire it yourself). That might be tricky. Im not sure what others have used outdoors.

    New firmware for Dahua NVR4104 ?

    This was kinda my thinking on going with a rebranded Dahua NVR (in my case a Q-See QC8816). When there are firmware updates such as these they distribute them and I can get them from their website. Then I just bought Dahua cameras from AliExpress to build out the system.

    Adding Qsee QTN8017B camera to Qsee QC8116 NVR

    Well, Ive got the cameras and so for Ive just plugged them into the NVR to make sure they are working and they are automatically setup and work just like the native Q-See ones. So far I can confirm that with the QC8816 NVR the Dahua IPC-HDW4431-A, IPC-HDBW4421F and IPC-HDBW4421R-AS all work fine.

    Adding Qsee QTN8017B camera to Qsee QC8116 NVR

    Will do, Ill post back when they start coming in. I think I have two coming next week. I am getting them all from high rated and recommended from here sellers off AliExpress. Thats pretty much the only way to get them the cheapest. And I am running my QC8816 completely stock with two 3TB WD...

    Adding Qsee QTN8017B camera to Qsee QC8116 NVR

    Whats going to be even more interesting for me is I have five Dahua 4MP camers coming and Im hoping to get them working with my QC8816. If the QC and QT products have so many issues I wonder how bad its going to be with Q-See QC series and Dahua cameras.

    Is this a good price for the package?

    What do you intend to use it for? Home? Business? Does it meet any/all your requirements from a video surveillance system?

    Adding Qsee QTN8017B camera to Qsee QC8116 NVR

    Yes Q-See just rebrands Dahua products. Thats interesting to me that you got a QT series camera to work with a QC series NVR. If you call Q-See they will tell you QC series NVRs only with with QC series cameras and the same with QT series NVRs and QT cameras. Didnt make sense to me, but thats...
