Get in touch with your local Dahua service agent and don't discuss such things in a PUBLIC FORUM

WHY DID YOU NEED TO SET A PASSWORD IN THE FIRST PLACE?

WAS IT FOR SECURITY REASONS?

Now you want to discuss getting past it in a PUBLIC forum, is that also for security reasons?

THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM ANYONE CAN READ THIS, EVEN THE CRIMINAL FRATERNITY

I think you need to keep in mind just what baluns are. They are simply an impedance matching transformer - nothing more nothing less. The better ones have a small amount of filtering built in but unless that is an issue then it would come down to manufacturing quality. There is nothing mystical about HDCVI.

Toss do u have some tech info about HDCVI ?

Thats a NO then...Ewan?

Buy 100m of siamese or shotgun and make your own cable

Watch out for voltage drop. You might be better off powering the camera more locally

and just run RG59 which is easier to work with and lighter to handle.

I actually made a 100M run with (gulp) URM70 which is a (stranded center cable) it was all that was available.

The result was surprisingly good, ( well it is 75 OHM cable) but don't you do it as it's mainly for making small

patch leads as its so flexible.

For CVI you can use a good quality standard passive balun as used in analogue CCTV. (IN THEORY)

I haven't done it myself yet, but that is what my information is

If your lens was right up against the glass no warm air would circulate and that rather defeats the object of having a heater and blower. Too far away is also not helpful the short answer is neither too far nor too near. So how Far is that? Answer? = DUNNO?

Trial and error seems to be the best answer, Try a small gap about a finger's width and go from there.

Warmed Air needs to circulate across the entire glass surface to prevent condensation or misting.

Put it too far away and light will play tricks with your camera reflecting light from different angles.

Check your settings for illegal characters, (No I don't mean criminals) I mean blank spaces, commas, hyphens etc. If you put hyphens in

your hostname, some DVRs won't accept them some apps won't accept them etc.

Very good point. In fact, if you know your public IP address, try using that directly and see if that changes anything (although I don't think it will because your browser/system will already have the IP address after the dns lookup).

NOW THIS IS a really is a good point

I can read Chinese if you post some screenshots I'll see what it says.

 

Are you serious confuscious? Its a software disk and not a fortune cookie

 

I have managed to get the mobile app and had it working by QR coding the APPLE ios link and typing the same name into google play and found it that way and there is a web interface but now just looking to find the client software.

Haven't got screenshots as the DVRs firmware is in English. I haven't got the CD with me here it's at the client's home.

 

haha

 

if you put the software as a zip and pm me a dropbox link i will install it on my side.

Thanks but I am not sure where the disk is now. Besides I doubt you translating it will help.

I installed CMS in Chinese once to see what would happen. A really dumb ass thing to do as I

couldn't even operate it as I couldn't read it and removing it was no easy task either.

Don't be offended if I decline your offer

If you know this client well ask her how much she paid for the no support unit. I would like to know how much people really save. If she will tell you then you can factor in your service charges it would be interesting to see if there really is a savings.

She knows all that now, she was very embarrassed and said she knows this in reality but

couldn't resist a "bargain" when she was told how easy it was to set up " oh a seven year

old could set it up" and yes it was for me even with nothing to go on

but she's a Techno-Twit and hasn't a clue. I still haven't got client software for it. I did try

changing the remote port to 34567 and using CMS but no joy this time.

I have today successfully opened port 9101 on a Virgin Media Superhub

I have had this testing on various open port sites.

The proceedure starts with switching off PPoE

then go to the DHCP Reservation Menu and select your DVR and reserve it's IP address

Alwats select TCP & UDP when forwarding ports on yourVM superhub.

Then open the ports then reinstate PPoE

What Client software does your DVR use and can I have a copy please? See my other thread "Oh I wish I spoke Chinese"

I called into a client to do the port forwarding for his recent purchase from ebay (yuk) of a generic type of DVR

The interface is quite nice and straightforward but when I opened the accompanying CD it's entirely in Chinese.

(Well I think it's Chinese) When I use the QR code scanner to go to the mibile app it goes directly to whois and I think there is no way to get beyond.

The default ports are 80 for http and Device port 9101 anyone suggest any client software to download or android apps that use 9101

I'd like to help this lady as she hasn't any idea and her ebay seller isn't interested at all.

Yes, He's working as a prison librarian now!

If your fingernails needed cutting, would you cut off your hands to save you the bother of having to do it again after they grow again?

But then he probably lives in a normal neighborhood....right?

just look up you've been punked....

You don't need the DMZ in any sky router and all the poerts should report as open if you have created services correctly and assigned them to your DVR's LAN address. I also find it useful especially with sky routers to reserve the DVR's lan IP address in the DHCP table to avoid IP conflicts

It would be helpful to know what DVR you are using and what mobile port you opened for it and also the app you are using

Check your settings for illegal characters, (No I don't mean criminals) I mean blank spaces, commas, hyphens etc. If you put hyphens in

your hostname, some DVRs won't accept them some apps won't accept them etc.

INTERPRETER PLEASE!

 

Record it if you want, legal or not, because if you're the only one seeing it, it won't matter.

You are absolutely priceless......... ha ha ha

Just wrap your house in aluminium (aluminum) foil and be done with it.

Once you do this THEY won't be able to get you....

Oh and avoid walking on the cracks between the paving stones that will also help a lot.

You can also protect your cat with a baking foil suit, give her some catnip just before

putting her in it and it will be easier on her nerves.

Don't forget to report any strange UFO activity in your area and always have a foil wrapped

umbrella handy in case THEY try to take over your brain when you are out.

Above all, Keep taking the medication

You guys are so green, you couldn't spot a leg-pull if your lives depended on it....

hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha very funny LucyLue2

You could use a good-quality wireless USB mouse in place of a remote control.

A motion detection video system on a residential property is completely justified.

 

As for audio, I believe it is legal in the US and UK with consent and when necessary but only with consent, even on residential properties.

 

Here are the legal privacy guidelines ICO in the UK provide:

 

The use of audio recording, particularly where it is continuous, will, in

most situations, be considered more privacy intrusive than purely visual

recording. Its use will therefore require much greater justification. Audio

recording should only be used where:

 

? You have identified a need or issue which can be characterised as a

pressing social need and can evidence that this need must be

addressed.

1. You have considered other less privacy intrusive methods of

addressing the need.

2. Having reviewed the other less privacy intrusive methods, you have

concluded that these will not appropriately address the identified

issue and the only way to address the issue is through the use of

audio recording.

3. You should ensure that at the point of purchase of the audio system

all appropriate privacy by design methods have been incorporated

into the system. If you have already bought the system, you should look to see if you can incorporate any privacy by design

technologies.

4. If you are using audio recording you should make sure that the

system you have bought provides a high enough quality of

recording to achieve your stated aim.

5. You should make it clear to data subjects that audio recording is

taking place, over and above any visual recording which is already

occurring.

6. The best way to make sure these requirements are met is to carry

out a thorough privacy impact assessment. (Please also see section

7.2 for specific detail on audio recording in relation to BWV

systems).

 

Below are some examples of where audio monitoring and recording may

be justified. However, if you can evidence that you have gone through the

process above, you may be able to justify other uses of audio recording.

? Audio based alert systems, such as those triggered by changes in

noise patterns such as sudden shouting. Conversations must not be

recorded, and operators should not listen in.

? Two-way audio feeds from ‘help points’ covered by CCTV cameras,

where these are activated by the person requiring assistance.

? Conversations between staff and particular individuals where a

reliable record is needed of what was said so it might be used as

evidence in an investigation, such as in the charging area of a police

custody suite.

? Where recording is triggered due to a specific threat.

That would be great except then there would be the problem of the web interface recognising the presets and they would become useless on a standard controller.

I wonder that you ask for advice at all, you certainly don't listen to the advice.

I don't doubt your electricians abilities, as an ELECTRICIAN. CCTV uses signalling which electricians are not often trained in

You don't want advice, you want someone to tell you what you want to hear.

If you are getting a CCTV system and would rather spend a bit more on the equipment to make sure you are not disappointed yet you get an electrician to install it? CCTV is based on signalling not electrical circuits and I have just had to rewire an entire 16 channel system that a well meaning electrician installed and finished up with loads of ground loops infested images a DVR without even a hard disk drive in it and wired with copper coated aluminum cable.

I would no more take on wiring a house than an electrician should do CCTV. Both completely different.

Would you take your car a car valet to get the brakes serviced? Why not,They both know about cars don't they?

Do yourself a favour and get a CCTV professional that can recommend proper equipment, not just connect up whatever you tell him to buy. You are on the road to a disastrous scheme and it'll be your fault.
