buellwinkle 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Vector18, do you have a contact at Dahua to help you with firmware bugs. I'm trying to get an ONVIF snapshot that works on most Dahua models to work on the PTZ and not having much luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vector18 1 Posted July 16, 2013 http://gogss.com/index.php They are 15 minutes from my house and I buy all of my dahua products from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icamera 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Hows their support? Is it a small retail store? Mop & Pop operation? Online only? I want to know as much as possible if you dont mind. Some sellers will only support you if you buy enough volume to make things worth it for them.... You buy a lot? Do they have a thorough product knowledge? Learn as they go? Or make things up as they go along (SOME BIG COMPANIES DO THIS. ) http://gogss.com/index.php They are 15 minutes from my house and I buy all of my dahua products from them.

vector18 1 Posted July 16, 2013 It's a small store and they're all Asian. They all know the products inside and out and have actually taught me alot. They offer free team viewer support on installs, and as much help as possible over the phone no matter how much you buy. They were the same amount of friendly towards me when I first started going there and now. I just don't know what it would be like for Internet orders?

buellwinkle 0 Posted July 23, 2013 If you are doing so many installs, why not deal with a Dahua distributor? The prices will likely be better but you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vector18 1 Posted July 23, 2013 If you are doing so many installs, why not deal with a Dahua distributor? The prices will likely be better but you never know.

Zou 0 Posted April 16, 2014 I've tested the Axxon Next Free software and it's quite interesting even if the GUI philosophy isn't like the other software I tested. The free version limit is : 16 IP Cam 1 Server 1To archive limit. To those who are interested : The unlock version for one server to cost about 230€. (Unlimited archives and max. 16 Cam) Adding one more camera cost about 80€ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Unlimited archives and max. 16 Cam) Adding one more camera cost about 80€ I'm definitely interested... I especially like (the idea of) being able to filter the recorded data for your results. I'll be trying this. I hope it's easier to work with than Geovision I really liked the *idea* of that......supporting it (gv) - nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirk_D 0 Posted June 2, 2014 I am really enjoying Axxon Next (free version). I'll be buying (& selling) the real deal soon, I think. I'm going to learn a little more and probably build a heavier duty server (headless, maybe, unless it can't run the AutoZoom without the head). Really incredible analytics, much better than GV so far, and way more intuitive....but software that's this customizable is bound to have a learning curve. The co sent me pricing, it's about $300 for the full version (16ch) but it's $105/channel for channels 17+ along with whatever IP device you might have. I figure the 1TB version will allow me to play with it and work within (beyond) its limitations. Very nice so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
