    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    So I've been looking for some way to see what other conservatives think about everything that's happened in the last year, since a lot of conservative media outlets and forums are taken over by financial interests or bots or foreign agents. So I thought hey, ipcamtalk has a lot of...

    IPC-Color4K-T where to find SMB / network storage configuration?

    On my other Dahua cameras, the SMB/NFS/FTP setting is under "storage". But on the IPC-Color4K-T, the storage menu is only for configuring the onboard microSD card. Is there no network storage feature on this camera?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks for the example. So the Reolink video quality looks much better than the Dahua doorbell camera? I guess it's 5MP for the Reolink vs. only 2MP for the Dahua?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I'm torn between the Dahua VTO2201F doorbell and the Reolink POE doorbell camera. Which one do you think has better video quality? The Dahua is pretty mediocre in terms of video quality - it's 2MP with a pretty small sensor. The footage I've seen in reviews seem like Reolink might actually...

    Difference between Dahua VTO2301R-P and the larger VTO2201F-P?

    Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but I have a follow up question. Does the button on the VTO2201F act like a call button for you? Do you receive the call on your SIP server and then do whatever magic routing from there? Does the button act like a SIP call?

    Dahua VTO2201F camera - creepy mac address change?

    Still testing out my Dahua VTO2201F doorbell camera. I recently plug it back in and noticed the mac address isn't coming up, but the static IP that did come up was a different mac. Logged into the web interface and looked at the network setting. Sure enough, the mac address that's listed in...

    Anything better than the Dahua VTO2201F?

    Every once in a while, I look around to see if there's anything better than the Dahua VTO2201F. It's only a 1/2.9" sensor camera, so nothing to write home about. But I'm still not seeing any cameras with good sensor size and image quality. Have you guys spotted anything?

    BlueIris re-stream without changing resolution/quality?

    I have my cameras connected to BlueIris. I'd like to use BI's stream of the camera stream for other things, rather than stream directly from the cameras themselves (limited bandwidth link for various reasons). Is that possible? I know the BI stream is this URL...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Umm....the inspect doesn't generate anything useful on my installation. I set the camera up as a "Generic ONVIF", with model=RTSP/H264... Is that how other people have theirs configured? My inspect output: HTTP Get / request... OK ONVIF GetSystemDateAndTime 2023-05-17T21:34:03.000Z...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Hey folks with IPC-Color4K-T. What's the URL for the main stream and substream? What do you enter into Blue Iris' Stream Profile configuration for main and sub?

    Can BI provide a local HTTP page of a camera stream?

    I have BI and a 4K camera. Is it possible to have BI provide a HTTP page of the camera footage, but scale the footage down to lower resolution? Or same resolution but a cropped view of the camera stream? The device I'm trying to display on can only display local http webpages page, and it's...

    How to tell the difference between networking issues and CPU/load issues?

    The wifi bridge is just a router that's connected as a wifi client to the main house wifi. I'll try to do some more testing on how well that wifi bridge performs. I did hardwire to it one time and did a quick download test and it was more than 30MBps, but I know that doesn't tell the whole...

    How to tell the difference between networking issues and CPU/load issues?

    I have Blue Iris on a VM, and it doesn't have quick sync. When I watch the Blue Iris feed of my cameras in VLC on a computer, I see it often skip a couple seconds where the the time on the footage stops and then runs again. And sometimes the BI stream is "blocky". Trying to figure out if this...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Does the 4K Dahua offer a url for a still image as well as a stream that the web browser can open? I know the admin page has the stream in it, but I just want to open a browser window with the username/password inside the URL to allow for accessing a still frame. I'd also want to be able to...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    The PFB-203W also seems to fit the IPC-Color4K-T. Would there be any issues with using it if the screw holes line up?

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T - compare audio quality built-in vs. external Microseven

    Here's a comparison between the built-in mic and an external microphone. I'm playing a youtube clip from my computer with the mic placed on the floor, so not great placement, but you get the idea. There's so much weird noise on the built-in mic, it's horrible. I don't know if maybe I"m...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    I came across the API for changing night/day mode remotely, but I was wondering if anyone has figured out the API to turn on/off the warm-white LED? The night/day mode API looks something like this: This seems to be the best solution for now:

    With an external microphone, would the audio issue be solved? I don't know the technical details - if the poor audio is caused by bad electronics or bad microphone.

    type of flex conduit for bury ethernet cable installation in backyard

    Did you just use a shovel? I have a 80ft run that I need to do, and I'm wondering how much work that is. In my head, it seems easy and I can do it in a couple of hours. But I've never done it before, so maybe I'm way off?

    type of flex conduit for bury ethernet cable installation in backyard

    Thanks. Do you think you could've gotten away with the 1/2"? I'm thinking the half inch is just easier to work with, more flexible. Not sure if it'd be much harder to pull cable through if I have mostly straight run. Direct bury ethernet is more stiff, so harder to pull I guess.

    type of flex conduit for bury ethernet cable installation in backyard

    You can do it either way. But seems like just a bit extra work for much more protection from rodents.

    type of flex conduit for bury ethernet cable installation in backyard

    I've broken down and decided to run ethernet cable from my house to my detached garage. I'm just gonna run one direct burial cable, and protect it with some kind of flex conduit. Is that a good easy option? What kind of flex conduit and what size? I don't have any special equipment. I was...

    @EMPIRETECANDY , I'd also like to have a copy of the http protocol. These cameras would be so much more useful if we can programmatically access more things - LED brightness, profiles, etc...

    How have others people used these ports? Audio Input, Audio Output, Alarm Output, etc...

    Recently got a Dahua 4K and it has a bunch ports. Audio Input (RCA port) I kinda get...it's for those external microphones right? What do you use the Audio Output (RCA) for? Do you hook up an outdoor speaker? And what kind of protocol can you use to output to that audio port? Or do these...

    Does anyone have a link to the PDF manual for this camera? Edit: found one, someone linked it in an earlier post. Still wish there was a diagram of the pigtail. I was hoping there's a diagram of what all the connectors on the pigtail are for. It seems like there's bare wires as well as RCA...

    API to turn on light for the IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV

    What causes these artifacts when camera seeing moving person?

    Looking over my settings for the camera, I don't see a power plan setting. Is that something that's on other IPC-Color4K-T?

    What causes these artifacts when camera seeing moving person?

    Oh ok, I see what people are saying about the router. Thanks @Santeesticks and @wittaj. My traffic is going through the router, but the source (camera) and the sink (my computer) are all hardwired, and therefore it's going through the switch part of the router. It basically is the same as a...
