I use Configtool to upgrade without any problem.

There aren't vendors here who can do what you are after. This place is frequented by pros and amateurs who do installation and maybe do some re-selling and technical troubleshooting. If you need 10K pieces then just start emailing the chinese camera companies directly and stop posting here. His post is not specifically asking for direct vendors to contact him, he is just asking if any of us have such information. Just because you guys don't have or not willing to share such information does not mean non of the forumers have it. As for using Hotmail, I have my own corporate email but still I choose to use Gmail.

Sorry for the OT but have any of you try the Empire NVR? Seems have some video analytics feature built into it.

This is no 1 Dahua look alike in China at this moment. Most of the small/medium manufacturer uses this solution.

It is actually a rebranded Koukaam. The url is here http://ipcorder.com/

May I know which firmware version are you referring to with this Playback tab & focus assist function?

Yes, very serious! "Anodized aluminum housing" These lens don't cost more than 10usd.

The POE port only supports their own brand, try plug in the camera to your switch/router instead to see it can detect as Onvif.

Just got my hands on this mini NVR and when I open up to install the HDD, I noticed there is a reserve place for something that looks like a wireless 7pin board. Any idea if I solder in a unit it will work?

It even has 3G " title="Applause" />

Try using G-Spot to find out what codec it is. http://gspot.headbands.com/

Where are you located? Is cost of sending just the board back to Shenzhen very high?

Right, currently they are selling both rebranded Dahua & their own Dahua clone, have seen an online demo. Quality almost the same because it's also TI with Aptina. If only they can get Dahua NVR to record on motion, it will be nice cos price is very much cheaper!

Open up the IPC-HFW2100 but quite difficult to remove the lens to change it even though I don't see any screws locking the lens into position. .

I'm putting up for sale 2 units Dahua Hybrid DVR DH-DVR1604HE-T-4H. Open box, demo unit. Still can offer 3 years warranty but have to ship back the board to China. All 16 channels Full D1 plus 4 channel IP@1080p resolution. For IP camera, can only use Dahua brand. Can ship any where as long as buyer pays shipping + duty if applicable. Offer me a reasonable price & it's yours. Reason for sale, prefer new platform DVR from Dahua & also the soon to be release new platform Hybrid which supports 3rd party IP camera.

Wanted to PM you the new IP but PM function is disable?

Are you on PAL or NTSC?

But with PSS 4.05 it can support 3MP so it's just hardware limitation for Dahua Hybrids/NVR so its not the software but the hardware instead? if so thats good to know Otherwise i have a new SDK I can try your IP camera if you want? But my software is connecting in MainStream .. Will PM you my demo IP later, feel free to configure the unit for me. But you have to set it to 1080p via IE or PSS 4.05 first.

But with PSS 4.05 it can support 3MP so it's just hardware limitation for Dahua Hybrids/NVR

Just like PSS 4.04 & below, will not show the 3MP IP camera video when set to highest 3MP/15FPS. On 1080P 25FPS, no problem.

can i ask which 3mp camera you are using on the hybrid. The new Dahua DH-IPC-HF3300P.

Full D1 on all 16 analog channels but maximum only 1080p for IP even though I'm using the 3MP IP Camera. If only it can record 3MP then i'll be fully satisfy. By the way, it can only playback analog or IP not all 20 @one time. Display is 20 though.

I have upconverted it to 1080p, can you guys see any difference? http://www.mediafire.com/?973x0app07fgc2w

If that's the only DVR within your budget then go ahead but I'll advise you to have a look at the remote view & also playback first. It's an Avtech.

Do you intend to integrate it with your HA?
