What is your budget? What is your level of knowledge when it comes to networking? If your network illiterate, than I would suggest to stay away from an IP system. An analog system will be less expensive and generally easier to install. If power
cables is your concern, you can use cat5 with video baluns and power even for analog. The other choice is IP with a POE switch
that powers your cameras and receives the data. So, without alittle more info from you, I personally wouldn't recommend a
system.

The port you enter will not be the same port that you use for a PC. You need to see what the TCP port is and than port forward it
to the IP of the DVR. Than enter the TCP port in the app.
-
I've used several of these with no issues. They were cheap and easy. Just have to run 2 cat5's though.

Yes, I realize the sub stream is for mobile devices. Same for Dahua. I have a few 2mp cams out there and I set sub stream
for CIF and they still look pretty good on the iphone with nice streaming. I have nothing bad to say for the HIKvision
products or the company, but for me personally, I'm getting very sweet deals on dahua products and my customers
are happy. I do notice the soft spots that their cameras have, but for your average person who has only seen analog
cctv cameras, they are amazed when I show them samples of the Dahua jobs I've done. Also, as I see it, Dahua seems
to be a growing company especially now with all this rebranding of their products, so I'm sure things will improve as
time goes by. Anyway, post up a video, lets see how that bad boy looks!

Very interesting, please post a night time shot, thanks. The only thing is, I've been trying to stay at 1.3mp for my cameras only because you don't see a huge difference, price is lower, and for the most part, the majority of my customers are using their
cameras for remote viewing to check up on their houses while out and play back when something bad happens. Does hikvision
make a 1.3mp bullet? I guess I'll check out their website, lol. I'm not saying I'm going to switch, but it's worth to
take a look.
-
That looks real good. And the neighborhood looks likes a nice place to live as well. How many MP's is that little bullet? I've been seeing alot of good talk about hikvision lately. Who knows, maybe I will make a switch, especially with images like those.
How do the prices compare to Dahua and keep in mind, as of now, I'm paying less than you think for my Dahua products.
-
Thats a good thing, I'm doing a job tomorrow, a small house and they're getting 10,000 cameras!
-
This is what you get as soon as you open the app. It's very annoying that I cannot choose just one camera to open, but
I use the app to show customers there is an option if they want to pinch and squeeze for their own cameras.
-
That's what I'm waiting dahua to add to the app. I get so many customers asking me to digitally zoom in by using the iphone.
Every other app for every other camera system does that. In IP cam viewer, I can view my fixed cameras and digitally zoom in, but like I said, I do not like the layout. When you open that app, every single camera you have entered, starts to load up. It's only good if you have like 4 cameras.
-
You can pinch and squeeze on fixed cameras? On the iphone, pinch and squeeze works well for ptz's, but does nothing
for fixed cameras.
-
Are you able to pinch and squeeze to digitally zoom in? I've been waiting for Dahua to allow that in the iphone forever.
I found IP Cam Viewer is compatible with Dahua and allows pinch and squeeze, but I just don't like the lay out of that app.
-
I'm not even going to try, LOL
-
You can laugh but maybe some day you may be buying Tong Mania cameras.That is funny! lmao

Oh, and he IS an expert, did you know that?

Shouldn't you know all the answers already. I mean, your email is cctvexpert!

You cannot name different port forward rules the same name. You can name it 'chicken' if you want. The name is only so you know what it is. It does not affect anything.
-
Do as I said, than set four different port forward rules. Do not use the same port twice for anything. When you use
canyouseeme.org, and it says it does not see your port, that could also mean that your port forward rule is not set
correct, it could mean your nvr is turned off, it does not mean all the time that the port is blocked. When you use
canyouseeme, that site just tries to connect to your device with that specific port programmed, If it does not see it,
than it says that the port is blocked, thats all. Just try as I said, than forward each port to the correct IP address
of each device. You should have FOUR different port forward rules when your done.
-
If you want better fluency on your iphone, set the extra stream to CIF. Your iphone is tiny and resolution will look slightly less,
but streaming will be more fluent. Main stream is for computers, extra stream is for mobile devices.
-
I've lost count of how many Dahua IR cameras I have out there. I've only had one lemon a couple of weeks ago. It stopped
lighting up at night time. My local reseller already has given me a replacement but I've yet to go out and replace it. I'm not even sure how to go about doing it cause the customer hasn't even called me yet, lol.
-
Did you create a ddns and port forward the ports in your router for remote viewing?
-
I plan on installing the camera to get a more broader view so I can test the daytime and night time shot that way. But normally,
if the camera does not have smart IR, even in a tight shot like that, you will get a wash out of one certain area.
-
You cannot forward the same port to two different IP addresses. Set your dvr to 8000 and your nvr to 9000. Than
for tcp, set your dvr to 37777 and your nvr to 38888.
