    Would you embrace this idea to be deployed in every part of the world? The future of surveillance (is already here)

    Hello Arjun, no matter what there's always going to be some way around a system. Have you heard of the film Upgrade, they posit the idea that individuals identities could be possibly firewalled. Thus rendering systems somewhat useless, it's worth a watch at least.

    Not as sensitive as I hoped

    I've been wondering about the use of high intensity strobe lights and rather loud music such as ride of the valkyries attached to a PIR system and a manual switch as well ANTH040, I think that it may work quite well as a deterrent as well as give you some wonderful footage for YouTube if you...

    Moisture in Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS

    A company called Haenim do UV sterilizers with a drying function, very expensive but also very useful. The Haenim HN-04 is the latest version with Bluetooth so that you can know exactly how long is left in a cycle.

    Not as sensitive as I hoped

    I was asking what mm lens you've settled on ANTH040? And trust me, with a hood up or a hat it will be pretty useless in gaining any useful evidence for a conviction as the perpetrators face would be totally obscured. And with the state of the police in the UK nothing would be done then, they...

    Hikvision is camera not communicating with nvr

    Byousefz thanks for the information, so a POE injector needs to be used with a ethernet hub or switch. I'll look into ethernet cables as I'm sure that there's a type that can be used to connect two devices directly without an ethernet hub or switch, but as unusual when you really want to...

    Not as sensitive as I hoped

    ANTH040, what exactly have you settled on? Also the cam is too high to get a good image of a face which is better for identifying perpetrators, you may consider lowering the height at some point in the future.

    HIKVISION DS7608NI / K2 8P - possibly bricked after firmware update to NVR_IXX-KXX_BL_EN_STD_V3.3.2_150627

    Hello paddymch, I don't know if there's a brick fix available. But it may well be worth asking around and I'll try and see if I can trawl something up from the net for you.

    Moisture in Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS

    Hello bruce the boss, unfortunately the camera will have to undergo surgery to fix the issue. It'll need the guts removing and a good look over to see exactly where Water has entered the camera and it will also need the optics to be cleaned as well (a basic clean will make images more clear)...

    Which Form Factor for 2xHDD + 1xSSD?

    I was noticing that NX was the better looking option, you can usually get a feel for things just looking at the website. Plus it also has a toolbox and dev community, so there's probably a lot more things that it can do. But you probably need to know how to add features if you require them and...

    DH-IPC-HFW2831T-ZAS WDR?

    Most I set it to Rickoo is 1, seems anymore than that it gets too bright and washed out. But glad to heat that you found it.

    DH-IPC-HFW2831T-ZAS WDR?

    As far as I'm aware of Rickoo, WDR is off by default. But it should be under image settings, BLC.

    Hello donttreadonme, Varifocal cameras are useful as you can tune the focus and then leave it. So they have more versatility. May we ask as what distance do you need to cover up to please?

    Which Form Factor for 2xHDD + 1xSSD?

    fenderman, understandable for some but isn't Blue Iris better when used with Nvidia GFX cards due to hardware acceleration. And Linux may be a better option, after all it's free, faster and less vulnerable than Windows. I've noticed a few CCTV clients a for Linux as well that look interesting...

    Which Form Factor for 2xHDD + 1xSSD?

    Folks, it may be a better idea to build a system from components. Is anyone aware of M.2 flash drives? The interface is much faster than SATA, they're somewhat cheaper and also they don't take up much space at all.

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z firmware

    Hello ruasonid, here you go. https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/3651?us That should be the product page you require, firmware updates can be found in downloads. And as you're UK based you'd need the PAL version. And it seems that the firmware that they have available for...

    Byousefz, the worst you could do is mess them up more. So technically you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    Motion Detection Area Boxes (Incorrectly Calibrated)

    Don't forget that with Windows 10 you get forced updates, and I've noticed that every time it updates some component or components end up getting broken. You could try a sfc /scannow with command prompt Iceman24, it'll take a fair while to run and there's no guarantee that it'll fix things...
