    Can confirm this statement. Reolink is cr*p and I recommend you to avoid it at all cost. There have been several Reddit reports on their NVR frying up along with their cameras degrading quality. Totally recommend Dahua/Andys cameras. If you give Andy your price point and description of the...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW7842HP-Z AI, ANPR Ultra 8MP Varifocal Starlight Cam

    Hey @looney2ns , Just wondering, Is this camera quite similar to the "IPC-HFW5842H-ZHE"? I love the IPC-HFW7842HP-Z but I 'm thinking about going with the other option (IPC-HFW5842H-ZHE) since it is categorised as an Pro-AI Series which I think the price is cheaper?

    Review-Dahua SD1A203T-GN Starlight Mini PTZ

    I know this post is from 2018 but man the complete dark night shots are great for an 1/2.8 censor :D. It's almost as if the shots are equivalent to the 1/1.8” sensor. I wonder what the magic is behind this haha? Kudos looney for the nice videos. Really helps us with buying :D.

    Going out the country for a few days..was wondering how would I view my cameras and download its playback footages using my laptop?

    Using the NVR IP. Yep, I know that the iDMSS app can do all of this but as I have stated, the app has been unable to view the playback footages...at the moment, it is only used as a viewing app. Would like a Windows 10 software program for my laptop to do all of this. Plus, my laptop has a...

    Going out the country for a few days..was wondering how would I view my cameras and download its playback footages using my laptop?

    Atm, I am using iDMSS pro app to view it. Though, the playback isn't working for some reason. I also have my NVR connected to my monitor to view the cams. Would love to know if Dahua has a software client where it allows users to view multiple cameras’ live feeds anywhere anytime and play back...

    Going out the country for a few days..was wondering how would I view my cameras and download its playback footages using my laptop?

    Is Easy4ip still a valid thing? @EMPIRETECANDY sorry to drag you into this but does Dahua have a Windows 10 software program which allows me to remote view/download playback footages using my laptop from anywhere?

    I plan on travelling to different countries for a whole week but was wondering how would I view my cameras and download its playback footages using my laptop? I know my old non Dahua CCTV setup came with a software to view camera and down playback footages using my laptop? Not too sure how it...

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    Hey @Wildcat_1 , just wondering how's the IPC-B5442E-ZE camera doing with the new "Auto IR bug firmware"?

    Best Setting for Motion Detect Record

    I'm not 100% sure on this but this is from memory : For playbacks, when motion detection is enabled for 24 hours/non stop recording, it makes finding things faster. For instance, at night if someone were to break your window and you wanted to look through the footage to see what happened and who...

    May I ask how does the facial ID recognition work? Is it only configurable live or during playbacks?

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW7842HP-Z AI, ANPR Ultra 8MP Varifocal Starlight Cam

    Yep, fingers crossed. For me, it seems that BLC is much better than HLC for facial identification @ night. Could vary with other models. Still doing a few tests with my new AI model. @looney2ns - lovely new videos. By any chance can we get some night shots where colour is being forced? ;)

    Can't wait to see the nighttime photos from good ol looney :D. Andy, are you able to provide price for the 4MP IPC-HFW7442H-Z? These bad boys look amazing. I love the appearance and colour too, looks very technical and serious..scare people off :D.

    Good point. Yep, Andy is honestly the best seller I have ever encountered. He treats his job like it's his life haha. Hope Andy's salary gets a raise for his work efforts. Such a great guy. I'm planning on buying 2- 3 more cameras from him too. Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY again for helping the...

    Hi guys, So far my 4-5 months with Andy's Dahua NVR + POE Camera system for my house has been amazing. Crystal clear and high definition. Never before have I seen such CCTV camera have this quality. Kudos to Dahua and Andy :D. I am also using the iDMSS pro ios app P2P to view my cameras from...

    Sharing My Thoughts on My IPC-HFW2831T-ZS Cams After 6 Weeks With Them

    Ah that's a pity. Yep, hopefully @EMPIRETECANDY does work on getting SmartIR into the 2831 as the specs for the 2831 clearly says "SmartIR = Support" which is what we customers who bought the 2831 should be getting, so Dahua/Andy has to make it SmartIR available :D .

    Dahua 4k Starlight with 1/2 sensor (CVI only for now)

    Hey, I did you suggestion and turned on smart codec for the 4k camera IPC-HFW2831T-ZS. However, it automatically switches from CBR to VBR..Should I go ahead and switch back to CBR while smart codec is on ? and then set the bitrate to 8000+? sorry for the nuisance.

    Sharing My Thoughts on My IPC-HFW2831T-ZS Cams After 6 Weeks With Them

    @Wildcat_1 I notice in the specs for this camera (IPC-HFW2831T-ZS) that it says "Smart IR - support" . However, I do not see this anywhere in the settings...by any chance do you see this?

    Hey Man, Thanks for the response. Sounds good. Glad all the new "4MP starlight model cameras" are going to be getting the SmartIR feature in the next firmware(s). Time to decide which new 4MP starlight model cameras should I go for. Thanks again for your help.

    Ah I see. Thanks for confirming. Would you say it is safe to go ahead and buy thIS camera now? or wait until the latest firmware is out which brings/includes SmartIR? Which one is the safest option? sorry for the inconvenience @redffive
