  1. I have been trying to get an answer to this question forever.

     

    Do any of Dahua's ip cameras have an mjpeg stream that you can access via an http url? I see in the cameras secondary stream you can set it up for this, but I can't seem to get an http url to work to actually view the stream.

     

    I have heard that the Dahua NVR's can now produce an mjpeg stream with an http url, but I cannot on mine. I'm guessing there is a firmware update that needs to be done.

     

    Can anyone confirm if it is possible at this time for either a Dahua camera or nvr to produce an mjpeg stream via an http url?

     

    Thanks.


  2. I need a good analog wdr camera for the inside of a store which will be focused on the front door. The front door has bright sunlight coming in, and the store is not that bright so there is a stark contrast in light.

     

    I am looking for something inexpensive, but something that will do the job. I have access to all the distributors, so I am open to any brand. Since the store already has small turret domes I would like to keep it uniform if possible. Thanks.


  3. I have a client who is look for almost invisible cameras for their home to monitor the children and keep the decor of the house.

     

    I am aware of channel vision in wall ip cameras, and the speco tiny cameras, but are there any other options out there?

     

    Thanks.


  4. I have several channel vision dome ip cameras. They have both a network connection which accepts poe, and an analog out, which can feed the video to an analog dvr. Right now I have the camera connected to a cisco poe switch and it is working fine. I would also like to connect it to an analog dvr. The camera is currently being powered by poe. Does anyone know if I need to power the camera differently if I connect the analog video out along with the network out, or will the poe power work? Thanks.


  5. I have a job which I just took over with a customer that has channel vision ip cameras. He does not have any type of recording and would like to.

     

    Any recommendation on a standalone 8ch nvr?

     

    I would like to use a synology nas to do dual duty as a sas and nvr, but I don't see channel vision in the approved camera list for synology. Anyone know if it will work?

     

    If not, any other recommendations for a stand alone nvr?


  6. I have been using Av Tech for so long, but I see on the forum most are now recommending Dahua hands down. I have never had a problem with reliability with AV Tech. Is Dauhua that much better that I should look into them, and is the price point similar? Thanks.


  7. I am installing an exacq ip system monday. It's a hybrid system with an exacq server custom built. How does geovison compare to exacq? Does geovision still offer the most options in regards to analytics, etc? In your opinion, which company, and it may be another brand, offers the most and best options with money being no object? Most of my projects are 32 cameras and less. I am looking for the best options to offer high end residential with all bells and whistles, both ip and analog.


  8. I finished a job today with a cpd 556. I have installed many cpam dvrs. This one, however, takes forever to connect and is so slow it's unwatchable. For the first few hours it was connected it was fine, but now it's almost not working. All of my other cpcam setups are fast and working properly, but this one is having a problem. Any ideas on what could be slowing it down to a crawl? I mean the video over the internet is terrible and it takes forever to connect! It doesn't matter if I use iphone, video viewer or ie, it just is painfully slow with no motion video.


  9. Is it possible that one of the settings I changed could cause this problem? I'm not even sure exactly what I changed. I usually just go in and tweak the settings to get the best image for the job. I know in a previous post rory asked for settings from people, and I'm not sure what all the settings do or mean for that matter. Is there a tutorial anywhere that explains all the settings for the cnb cameras?
