    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Right it's the AI Port. I don't need LPR but would like to know if the motion is: human, vehicle or animal... I would like to test this for another install I have that has 5231s using SecuritySpy as an NVR. One problem I have is that when it rains the gutter splashes over with water and the...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Is it possible to use Dahua 5231 or 5442 cams with Ubiquity AI Key to bring all of the UNIFI AI smarts onboard, giving us the Dahua image quality and the full integration into UNIF Protect?

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Hear me out... drop the pitch-fork! :) For people like me that don't have the time to fiddle with things and need them to work for years on end and with remote management and remote firmware updates that work out of the box... it seems like UNIFI protect is the way to go. Yes, my Dahua Turret...

    Dahua NVR Setup Issues...

    What are the basic procedures to install a late model Dahua 5-series NVR? My current issues are: -Unit Beeps. The beeps are a sequence of 4 beeps (long-short-long-short). I assume this is HDD related and that the drive cannot be seen. -Password Error. After initialization, with ConfigTool on...

    Headless NVR Configuration & Administration?

    Can a standalone, appliance-style NVR (Dahua or Hikvision) be configured initially and administered as a headless (without a monitor, keyboard or mouse) device? Thanks, R

    Are the rebranded Dahua cams via Empire B-Stock?

    Are the rebranded Dahua cams via Empire B-Stock? I was recently examining a recent crop of cameras via EmpireTech where the following was noted: -There was dirt in the paint… -There was dirt behind the lens…. -The internal gasket was deformed on one cam… Where is Dahua QC? -The...

    Where to buy International Dahua Security Products?

    Where to buy International Dahua Security Products? I know it’s blasphemous to suggest that we question A***Cams or Emp*reTech but hear me out. What if I wanted, Dahua cams (and other gear) with the: -Dahua Logo… -Dahua firmware… -Dahua box… -Dahua sticker that shows: model...

    Locating New Dahua Cam on the LAN (Not: 192.168.1.108)

    I have a Dahua cam this suppose to be new but I was not able to reach it via 192.168.1.108 after changing my host machine to that same subnet. Now I'm curious, I would like to know the current IP address of this device. How might I reveal the current, apparently fixed, IP address? BTW: I tried...

    S3 animal detection

    Does it not seem strange that Dahua is just getting Animal detection when Arlo had this in 2018? Yes I know there are benefits to the 5442 lineup.... but the smart features that do: pets vehicles and packages have been implemented by others 6 years ago. Am I missing something? R

    Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?

    I’m not sure if this is a camera or NVR functionality, I think that either could be the source. So, how might I get my Dahua cameras to show their stream on my AppleTV? Thanks, r

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Clearly the EmpireTech NVR 5-EI Series 16 Channels (NVR16CH-AI) is not the NVR5216-XI since the specs don’t match. So since Andy is not available, why international model is the EmpireTech NVR16CH-AI? EmpireTech NVR 5-EI Series 16 Channels None POE 1U 2HDD Smart AI Network Video Recorder,Face...

    The only reason why I might repeat myself about missing model numbers is when the respondent did not understand what I wrote the first time and it had to be repeated.... I did reach out to Andy and I've not received a response..... so, point well taken.... rest assured it's under control.. :) R

    Still have trouble finding a given international number or series on Andy's web site.... he often does not use model numbers! "NVR16CH-16P-2AI" is not useful. I cannot see what series it is..... there must be a better way. Why can't we have a cross reference chart? So I need a model number...

    What part of the NVR would incur the bottleneck? Is there something in particular to look at on the specifications that indicate this higher capacity on the 5 series? Thanks, R

    One problem, Andy does not list model numbers on his web site.... So, can you recommend a specific model or two? I would like to know the international and AndyNumbers as well. I wish we could have just one model number and one place to lookup... This always seems like a Columbo...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    So, what Dahua NVR for this smart AI cam (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3)? I see the cam has SMD 3.0 but the 8-Channel AI NVR that Andy sells (NV41AI-8P-4KH) only supports SMD+. I've been told that these new cameras with the AI smarts need the NVR to play along so I assume that this NVR would not be optimal on...

    Yes, all of your points make a lot of sense and I appreciate your input on this.... BTW: I never intended to flash the NA cams with international firmware.... that would be asking for trouble. :) Thanks again! R
