    Dahua / DMSS playback issues

    Maybe it’s a coincidence but I’ve noticed that on my other cameras on HomeKit scrubbing isn’t available… only live view. Is it possible it can only stream to one service ? That’s strange though because it has that other sub streams . ?

    Is there a tutorial on properly setting up 24/7 NVR recording?

    Dahua / DMSS playback issues

    Hello. I've noticed a strange problem. I have been getting notifications of motion from my Homekit (via scrypted) but not DMSS. When i log into DMSS to check why, i am noting no events for that time period and when i try to play, it literally jumps over it and goes back 30+ minutes... like the...

    8MP System

    Adding to this old thread. It seems like Luminys is coming out with a full NightColor 4k camera. It seems interesting. I don’t know how they are going to compensate for lack of light without so much noise. I have seen the 4MP as being the same as the Dahua wizmind night color. But I didn’t know...

    New Dahua UI motion / VCA setup question

    For the newer Dahua cameras with the updated UI, i have a quesiton regarding motion detection. With the old Dahua UI I have IVR setup with trip wire and all of that. I have that as well this time although the settings are labeled a little different. It's under VCA settings (under smart...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    AGAIN, I have had this conversation on here before. My 1/6 shutter is great for MY needs - which is general visibility. If you find that funny, I suggest doing something more productive than flexing your camera superiority on a forum. And yes, I HAVE tried walking in front of it and waving...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    It’s not that cut and dry. I have 4 of those N45 cameras -the pool was just one example since that’s the brightest but I have them in 3 other places. There is slight illumination in all the areas but it comes down to ground landscaping lights. I’m happy to show you the other cameras with no...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    I'd like to bring this back to a discussion on sensor size regarding the 4k and nightcolor cameras. I bring this up because i currently have Dahua N45EJN2 cameras which have a 1/1.8- sensor and they look great with almost no light. Full color. If i move to a 4k camera, the picture is going to...

    Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?

    Wait, seriously? N82B3P = NVR5216-16P-EI ? why do you think that. That's crazy.

    Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?

    Dahua v5 upgrade questions / Empiretech Taurus

    I can tell you that the dahua cameras that I am replacing look like full color without those extra camera white lights being on. I keep those off because they are extremely bright and annoying when I have people over.

    Dahua v5 upgrade questions / Empiretech Taurus

    I think I figured out the core of my problems. The EmpireTech cam is NOT a nightcolor camera. It’s just regular 4k-color but doesn’t have the same nightcolor features as those dahua cameras. I guess I read the specs wrong.

    How do i factory reset the IPC-Color4K-T ?

    Yeah I opened a different one up and noticed that. This hasn’t been a great shipment so far from empire. I’m wondering if they got a bad batch.

    Luminys migration / NVR question

    Holy crap you are exactly right. I just booted into windows and its perfect. WTF. OK so if this is a font issue then this is actually an easy fix. The firmware CSS just needs to call the fonts properly. maybe adding 'helvetica' to the list of fonts. Alternatively, couldn't i just install the...

    Luminys migration / NVR question

    Yes to all. that's insane. I am not a competitor people, please calm down. I AM a mac user. The actual problem is the way the UI is using the CSS font styles - they are using .rem instead of .em. Changing the CSS to "em" instead of "rem" solves this. Maybe it is a mac thing, but that's insane.

    How do i factory reset the IPC-Color4K-T ?

    I am looking at the specs online and it says there is a button around where the SD card should go? I have no such button. What am i missing here?

    Dahua v5 upgrade questions / Empiretech Taurus

    I have an entire lifetime of working infrastructure projects. I hear you when you say don’t upgrade for the same of upgrading. There were a lot of small issues that I think I have worked through at this point. It’s also come down to I think one of the camera sensors is blown so I will see how...

    Luminys migration / NVR question

    Just following back up with everyone on this. I ordered a new NVR from Empiretech and 4x IPC-Color4K-T. The NVR went bad after a week - powersupply needs to be replaced. One of the cameras sensors is bad. It has almost no low light capabilities. I am waiitng for a replacement from Empiretech...

    Dahua v5 upgrade questions / Empiretech Taurus

    Yeah unfortunately i'm getting little to no response from andy on anything related to technical querstions. I feel that the Empiretech software is much more limited than the standard dahua software. it's actually a big step back, especially in trying to configure recording and notifications. I...

    EmpireTech NVR / Camera Tripwire / motion settings?

    I think i have it figured out. the new camera interface is very different. AM i correct in understanding that i can NOT do IVR / tripwire detecton and FACE detection at the same time? At least thats what i understood with the videos. It would be cool if i could load a number of faces into the...

    EmpireTech NVR / Camera Tripwire / motion settings?

    I'm not sure if this is technically an NVR question or a camera question but i received my NVR16CH-16P-2XI and Color IPC-4k cameras. I get that these are supposed to be white-labeled Dahua cameras but overall this feels like a huge step backwards. The first thing i noticed is that as soon as i...

    Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?

    does anyone have a comparison to how Andy's NVR16CH-AI NVR model equivalent is on the Luminys side? I'm guessing R52-16PA but can anyone confirm? thanks

    Replacing the internal Dahua system fan - EpireTech NVR

    I got the a4x20 in today. You can see the difference compared to the x10. The 20 is too wide. No where to put it unless I’m missing something ?
