    I have always done the firmware update on the Cameras/NVR web GUI off a computer. I have never had an issue.

    NVR5232-16P-4KS2E firmware update

    https://empiretech01.com/pages/download-firmwares I would use empire tech for all your firmware updates. Enter your NVR model number under the NVR tab and it pulls it up. Looks like there’s a new one put out a few months ago!

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    The spotlights aren’t going to be like a flood light. They are there more for the camera to see. Here’s a video of the Color4M siren and lights. I do not have it with the spotlights on or in dark condition. This was just for fun. The red and blue lights are very bright now.

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    All of those pictures were screen shots from the DMSS app on my phone 45 miles from home (using cellular data and VPN). It is pitch black at my house (no street lights or lights on my house are on). The porch one looks like there’s a light on because it’s seeing the other cameras IR that is...

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Unfortunately that MP to sensor is not great for low light and the other TiOC cameras are not good. Are you wanting a way to deter people?

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Just remember each camera you setup needs to have a specific purpose. For example, a camera that is watching the driveway more than likely won’t be able to watch the street also. You mention details at a distance, make sure you get the proper camera to see the distance you are talking about.

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Have you spent some time reading MP to sensor size importance on here? With a camera that has the right MP to sensor size and that is setup properly, you will never know if it’s 4 or 8 mp. I’m sure if you wait until @wittaj wakes up in the morning, he can supply you with all the information you...

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    The only one, not4K, that I know of is the Color4M camera. The camera is going to have to see the person in order to know to turn the light on. Therefore, it will have to use IR to see at night then can turn on the white light...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Thank you for that sir! I believe a Z4E will do the trick!

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Thanks for showing me all of this! I am definitely going to do this as I can only imagine how much I miss that’s going on and I’ve already had to give police officers footage 3 times.

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    That’s awesome! And you used video meta data for the captures of those two? That’s where I am, my camera’s are for my property and you have to digital zoom to try to get to street, which obviously is not great. Is the z12e just as capable as the z4e with this? I know the difference in specs just...

    You have exactly what I want to do with having a Z4E zoomed in only on the street. I feel that would be very beneficial! You like it like that?

    What do you run on a camera that overlooks your front yard or driveway? IVS?

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Yea that’s was what I was wondering. It doesn’t take but a second to go find something on playback. Just thought it may be easier to scroll through snap shots to find people or cars. I think I seen you can still run Meta Data for that though if you select the boxes in the screen after setting...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    I have two of the Z4E cameras that reads plates but to get the data you just have to use playback and find it. What are the settings to get it to do the tags like you have above?

    DH-IPC-HFW2449M-S-PRO 1/1.8"

    I assume the B stands for bullet style camera or sometimes black. I don’t see that these cameras have IR for night vision? If they don’t, you would have to run the white lights on the camera unless you have a decent amount of light on your property. I don’t know how much they are for you but I...

    Being pitch black, it is very important to get the right MP to sensor size correct and IR. I would order straight from Andy’s website not Amazon.

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    That’s the NVR I have and it’s great! I use an Asus router and use Open VPN on the router to access the NVR when I am away from the house. I do not setup p2p on anything. I will have an 8ch one for sale.
