  1. Hi. Since you already have coax in place then I would go for a 4K dvr you get the same benifit as a IP system except a lot cheaper what would your budget be ? I would also see if you need every camera at 4K (8mp) also full colour cameras at night are cheaper than iP I would stay away from hikvision and dahua or you will waste your money
  2. If they rely on p2P (point to point) from your home to a China based server then it’s not NDAA … ok let’s put it another way … you can’t use dahua in any GOVERMENT building in USA or uk because it’s none NDAA compliant WRONG YES YOU CAN IF your not connecting it to a network systems work 100% on there own with no internet involvement…… NDAA only applies when on the web (cyber security) GOVERMENT building in the uk a few years ago had dahua/ hik cameras then all of a sudden pictures were in a China news paper of something going on in a GOVERMENT building ….. that’s cyber security threat so yes NDAA is needed why on earth do GOVERMENT want cameras in there building that china has full control over we’re is the security in that now you talk about reolink (I would never sell to any customer) how many customers data did they misuse 8months ago 1000s of innocent peoples……. Only 3 weeks ago another data breach was listed Security flaws were also found in Reolink's camera, which adopted the Hypertext Transfer Protocol for data transmission via the user's WiFi it was only a few years ago you could install alarm systems camera system to protect your buiness or home NOW the systems people buy have introduced another problem PERSONAL DATA TO A 3rd party of all data in and out of your home which is theft …… alarms cctv used to protect now you buy security to steel data NDAA is a simple compliance apps for viewing should stay in the same country as the recorder cloud / storage so as it is protected by the likes of gdpr if a system is in Virginia then viewing and storage should only be stored in America not the other side of the world
  3. You are right except business selling and installing DO have to comply it has nothing to do with China product infact most cameras and recorders are from China and are fully NDAA compliant and a lot better and cheaper than dahua or hik did you know dahua and hikvision was the same company years ago till taken over by the Chinese government but at the end of the day WHY IS Dahua and hik refusing to comply with NDAA why are dahua closing places all over the world also Lorex. people don’t know lorex opened in 2004 by dahua thinking it was a Canadian company now just this month lorex has come under the spotlight and will have a negative impact on home users when the lorex cloud is shut down and they can’t log onto there systems anymore NDAA is not about Chinese products it’s about cyber security if you look back on the forum about 10 years ago a dahua system had in its log in one day 1.400 logins from China iP address….. who wants a cctv SECURITY system that allows strangers from another country watching you and family and guests to your home or business the main reason for NDAA is to stop information being sent to China GOVERMENT server. Images/video/audio All the point is …. Why buy expensive dahua products that fall well below what todays systems can do for less money and be protected
  4. This is why you don’t trust reviews…… posting crap on every site you visit is not a review and if this is how a company does business then it can’t be trusted
  5. Would the mp4 be a downloaded file ? NDAA publicity stunt ??? it is now compliant and a legal requiment worldwide dahua is now cheap crap … not changed its format in years sellers are doing everything to get shut of it before there stuck with it at the moment sellers are buy nvr get 4 cameras free NDAA comparable systems you will find are $100 less than a dahua and more reliable and much more functions 100% better apps
  6. The reason why dahua and hikvision are not NDAA approved is to do with there software and what could be passed on when inserting into GOVERMENT pc (police-courts-) just google is dahua NDAA approved you will see all info required there are much better systems out there than the outdated dahua and hik. there is also a few US court cases now going on we’re companies have sold dahua under a different brand name and the other thing about dahua equipment is the price … it’s well over priced take a 4K iP camera USA $180 any other country $60
  7. The problem with home use is still the same say you have a problem we’re you need to give police or courts your footage it can’t be downloaded on there computers
  8. Problem with using dahua is you could land yourself or buiness in hot water always look for NDAA equipment especially if installing into a business … Dahua is not NDAA approved in the UK they have already closed there offices

    Close up ip camera & lens needed

    Hi a standard 2mp full colour turret camera will work fine for you. which nvr are you using and we’re are you located
  10. Hi before you buy anything I would do a little more homework yes the viper is one of the best systems out I have over 80 out. the one you quoted is a bit pricey are you only looking for a 4 channel ? also the camera you currently have is 8 years old and is a Samsung.. Samsung don’t play nice with other systems as far as connecting a ring doorbell yes it can be done BUT again may not play well but the viper does now have an add on which will control all smart devices from ring to garage/ door control. And doing this way keeps the nvr under the new NDAA regulations …. Is this for home use

    can't get video on my phone question

    Some phones it works some don’t and that to do with the app …. It’s not been updated for years why do you use tinycam ? It’s a 3rd party China server app ….. do you use a dvr or nvr
  12. Hi. It looks like smart record is enabled. This is used to save space on hard drive.. basically your recording is lower res when no motion is detected and switches to high on motion detection as you can see in your video when the little Bunny 🐰 moves it’s high res. mare you recording 24/7 ? also you might want to turn up your pre and post record time … it looks like you have both set to 0 in your video

    New Dahua XVR5116H HDD alarm

    Hi. 34ford i think your problem is your hard drive…. If it’s been used for 8 years then it is at the end of its life with your new recorder …Ai -H265-audio-4K it’s a lot of data …. A hard drive of 8 years will look as if a format cleans it up we’re the fact is it does not ….. it only passes by the bad sectors and the more bad sectors make it hard to wright to. You can’t put a hard drive back to original it will always have data on it
  19. Hi. Can you give your location so as links given can be in your area also is your system used for domestic or a business

  21. Hi it’s over priced and it’s cheaper to buy two cameras to do the same job two separate cameras gives a little more protection were as the dahua dull cam one problem and both cameras go down at same time seperate cameras at least one will still be working and you save money

    Powerline CCTV.

    Something like this … but you will need a power supply for camera or use a Poe switch at camera end ( switch will power 4 cameras) https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-PL1000-100UKS-Powerline-Ethernet-Homeplug/dp/B01BD9TFI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2U4QPD997NOCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qvm_gQ5Qeh4zIWqKJzeCuHkCulZ3PqCLnHGXSA1Ehc3C5P-t_FIXo1YEHJWYqO8_r1BMyuf-31Jqkri7rAEfzIij5RuXp7-OGvTdGoMUSVedYV2xRuh7Ji_bZHnYdFGAnNMr_ksy3u78YupWNhEnuf-JwPdw65F8bYS-6Pz6lcshNyAHGaFGGdLIyfclX2pknuglHxzdz4YxcqTkBXp4rw.dbe8pGwa4i5i7AseQMVb4DnjrBA6-dUudpqvZU0EXVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=netgear+powerline+1000&qid=1712609155&sprefix=netegear+power%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-3
