What are my choices for fully-functional web browsers for Dahua cameras these days?
A few months ago I picked up some refurbished HP Slim desktop PC's that came pre-installed with Win-10 home. They had 4 gb ram and a 1 tb conventional hard drive. Came with a new keyboard and mouse. They couldn't have been much more than a year old. $170 (CAD) each. I upped the ram to 8 gb... -

What are my choices for fully-functional web browsers for Dahua cameras these days?
I currently have a few HDW4431C-A and HDW2431T-AS-S2 cameras that are now 5-ish years old but working well. I have them set up to do in-camera detection and send email with photo when they detect something. When I want to change their setup or watch them in real time, I have a couple of handy... -

Cameras are here but nothing works, what am I doing wrong?
Default. Go to Wikipedia and after the definition of 'default - computer science' it says: "Default values are standards values that are universal to all instances of the device or model and intended to make the device as accessible as possible "out of the box" without necessitating a lengthy... -

So why have a default ip address, 192.168.1.108, impossible for most of us who are not network savvy to get to as a default address? -

Has anyone built their own IR illumination solution from discrete LED's or modules?
My post here is about IR LED's and lighting strategies. For years I've tried to get away with placing a few cameras in windows, and you realize that you can't use the camera's own IR light when you do that, so you look for external IR lights. What I've found on ebay are advertised as 10 (or...- sumguy

Is it possible to enable/disable In-camera event detection through external command (http, onvif, etc) ?
I have a Raspberry that I could configure to monitor the status of my old alarm system so it would know when the alarm is enabled or disabled. What I'd really like to do then is have the Pi send a command to my Dahua cameras to enable or disable their in-camera event detection based on whether... -

Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions
So if I want the only available IVS functions I have (intrusion and tripwire) to work, I have to "turn on the light bulb"? Should I have a "global settings" tab beside the IVS rule config tab? Or maybe I don't because of limited IVS functions I have? -

Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions
I don't get it. My "Smart Plan" menu just has a single large button / icon (the light bulb). No other buttons (not even any grey'd out buttons). So I have no idea what turning on the "light bulb" (ie making it orange) and then hitting "apply" is supposed to do. -

Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions

Why is it that when I buy a pair of Dahua cameras - with different lenses - one has IVS and the other doesn't?
Yes, thank you. Disabling the smartcodec did activate the IVS menu options in the web interface. -

Why is it that when I buy a pair of Dahua cameras - with different lenses - one has IVS and the other doesn't?
Back in 2016 I bought a pair of 4mp turret Dahua cameras. I think they were 4431, China-market with hacked firmware. They were identical except one had 2.8mm lens, the other had 3.6 mm lens. When I got them I found that one had all the various IVS detection features, the other didn't. Fast... -

A few basic questions about IR lights
A few years ago when I bought some 4k Dahua cameras direct from China I also bought some IR lights. The housings were half-spherical, about 2 or 3 inches in diameter, some had a face full of small regular-sized LED's, others had 4 high-power led's with lens in front of them. Both types of...- sumguy

Dahua's Main Competitor Is... Dahua!
I've got a few IPC-HDW4431C-A that are about 3.5 years old now and they get the job done. I'm sort-of in the market for a few more cams - I'm curious about this "active deterrence" thing - what is it, how does it work? Also, are there any cheap 2 to 4 mp cameras that have IR motion-sensor... -

HDW4431C constantly trying to contact a china IP address
These are cameras that I want to be able to access from a few remote locations without using VPN. My ER3 router is blocking the camera's internet access from all but a very small set of IPv4 locations. I take it then that there is no known legit reason (ie some config setting) for the camera... -

Vstarcam G96 - anyone know anything about these?
I picked up something today (yes, I bought 2 cameras today) called a Vstarcam G96 (also for $30 CAD). It has no ethernet port. It's kind cool - it has bidirectional audio (build-in speaker) and SD card slot. When it's powered up it acts like an open wifi access point. So I connect to it, and...- sumguy

Swann SW-Viewcam (need to change language from Chinese to English)
I picked up something called a Swann SW-Viewcam today (for $30 CAD) from a local retailer that sells a lot of "refurbished" electronics. The camera is spec'd at 720P and it looks like the older D-Link DCS-9XX cameras. It has an SD-card slot (which is nice). I see that it is referred to by...- sumguy

@mat200 - I posted a reply in your thread. I'd still like to know why any (or all) of these hi-rez cameras go to B/W at night with the IR filter switched out. One possible reason - in a night, low-light situation you may have mixed lighting (white led, incandescent, florescent, etc) and the... -
