Hi All,

Today bring a very good news to you, we know SONY CCD always is our the best choice for analog camera, especially the night vision is very clear.So we push CMOS away. But now, we can not say it again, because CMOS technology is improving, and most of suppliers add ICR, so the quality can compare with CCD.

We heard news, SONY company also starts to use CMOS to make CCTV , because from the quality, technology, we don't have any reason to buy CCD continuetly, the CMOS price is much cheaper!!

See the comparison pictures as attached. Video quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnpaCKuHemI

welcome welcome, let's study together

Now I assume that I can mix and match and run my three 2.0 Megapixel cameras at 1080p and then still have room for the two 1.3 Megapixel cameras at 720p?

If you take 16CH NVR, only support 4CH 1080P,8CH 720P,16CH D1 quality.

So if you run real time for three 2mp camera at 1080p, it means 30fps x3=90fps, so you only have 30fps left, so you can now run another two 1.3mp at 720p in real time.

Hi friend, why do you update the firmware, because if no any problems during working, so no need to upgrade.

 

Because there's new features like WDR capabilities in the newer releases.

i see, if i have new one, i will send to you also

After I bought Dahua equipment, I learned that it is a big problem with the firmware updates.

So, I open this topic to be a place where everybody can put Dahua firmware ( I spent many time to search the firmwares for my equipments).

Please, fell free to put here what Dahua firmware you have. If somebody need them, can leave a message here.

 

I have firmwares for :

Dahua NVR3216-P -> General_NVR3xxx-P_Eng_P_V2.610.0000.2.R.20120919

Dahua IPC-HFW3200C -> General_IPC-HX3XXX_Eng_P_V2.103.0000.0.R.20120724

Dahua IPC-HDB3200C -> General_IPC-HX3XXX_Eng_P_V2.103.0000.0.R.20120724

Dahua IPC-HFW2100 -> General_IPC-HFW2100(HFW3100)_Eng_P_V2.100.0000.9.R.20120621

 

All are PAL .

Hi friend, why do you update the firmware, because if no any problems during working, so no need to upgrade.

Has anybody here mix-and-matched any other brands of cameras with Dahua NVRs? I'm trying to find some more information about this, as I have cameras already but I am really interested in the Dahua NVR. The lack of a return policy and the lack of accessibility to test it before hand is really killing this deal for me.

 

I've heard people use ACTi cameras with success, but I've also heard people using Axis cameras with limited success (it works, but no motion detect features, etc.). Has anybody here tried any other cameras to comment on? Perhaps with Vivoteks?

Normally Dahua NVRs connect with others brand IP Cameras,it through ONVIF 2.0 protocol to run.

It means , you have to check the IP Cameras' supplier if their products supported ONVIF 2.0, but the problem as you said, no motion detection function. Because ONVIF protocol doesn't open motion detection function yet, maybe future.

take a look at the specs of DAHUA NVR6000. It can do 32 MP FullHD, Realtime recording.

but their NVR6000 not come out yet, still in researching.....It really professional NVR

Hi Ashi, do you need wireless ip camera,3G ip camera or PoE IP Camera.

Because all of them can not be all in one function, it's seperate.

You have to consider the environment, and requests of this to get right one.

I tested it before, you should use megapixel lens to get good quality with this megapixel camera. Normally Dahua 1.3mp means 720P quality. If you want to zoom the lens, should buy DC lens.

 

Do you have any sample images for the camera? What do you mean megapixel lens? Are they different than the standard lenses used with analog cameras?

Sorry, i don't have image to show you. The megapixel camera can use standard lens used with analog camera. but we know analog camera maximum 700tvl right now, under the 1.0 megapixel quality.

So if use standard lens with megapixel camera, you can not see real megapixel quality, but some customers accept, because it's cheap.

Megapixel lens is special for megapixel camera, to get perfact and complete megapixel quality.

Does anyone use 10mm above lens in outdoor camera?

Normally no fixed lens is 10mm, except you use varifocal lens 2.8-12mm lens.

Your firmware version almost is the latest, about iDMSS, did you forward ports by router?

awesome info bike.. I wonder if anyone has successfully found any lens for the 3200CN mini 2mp dome.

Do you mean IPC-HDB3200CN? it supports 2.8mm/3.6mm/6mm fixed lens.

 

know of any website that has these available in the USA? any specific specs of these lenses so we can look around?

I don't know where is available in USA, but i can supply you.

2.8mm lens is large angle, over 90degree. would you tell me more requests of it?

you are welcome friend, if need any info of Dahua products, you can tell me. I think I'm familiar their products, hehe.

About Dahua Hybrid DVR, if you need manual, pls PM to me, i will send it to you.

Another, you have to think about, if you use Dahua hybrid dvr ,connect with others brand IP Cameras, then can not use motion detection function, only uses Dahua own IP Cameras to run.

Because even Dahua supports ONVIF 2.0 protocol, still can not compatible with all IP Cameras.

What was the DVR trouble you had Cherry?

Normally no big problem on their products, just some small operations problem.

But we can not gaurantee their 100% QC passed.

i prefer Dahua brand, to compare Dahua and Hikvision, both of them quality is similar.

But not Hikvision is focusing brand quality more, so their price is not competitive.

If VMS support ONVIF, then can use Dahua's PSS software. Dahua supports ONVIF 2.0 version.

As VECTOR18 said, dahua PTZ IP Camera is good, but should know your more requests of it.

Have megapixel,D1,IR,without IR optional.
