You explain things so clearly. I've watched two of your videos and already learned so much. I'll be watching all the other Dahua vids. Thank you, thank you!!

Gracias

Just what I needed… thanks for sharing.

Great video thanks . Do you have a video on how to actually programming an alarm system from scratch?

[@UnknownMelodies0]

Great video, very well explained.

[@ronaldoopperman3376]

Thank you so much for the time

Simple the best 👌🏿

thank you for the explanations. I guess you can also set all cameras if you have more to 1 zone and whichever one records motion engages the alarm right?

Analytics have came a long way

[@ashleyreolan2170]

Can I use the relays in the camera as a zone on x64

[@GeraldLehana]

can you do one for hikvision

[@r33b0t]

if we have more cameras connected, how are the cables connected?

Your Latch and Anti Dither are different and the time runs together not added... Normally set at 5, this is good for setting up a Tour of your camera on motion it will pop up the camera for 5 seconds full screen, In this since when your using the Alarm Latch time was Normally setup for 10 seconds, That means when the time starts to count down both have started they don't add up to 15 with 5 normal Anti D, and the Latch 10... It will not detect and start another Latch for 5 seconds. So if your not going to use the Tour on motion feature you could set the Anti Dither to 10 and that means it will only Log (if set to Log on motion) every 10 seconds and that is the time of the latch, IF you keep it at 5, and 10 for latch in a since if the Motion is tripped a second time after the short set 5 yes it might go longer then the latch of 10seconds because in a since it started again

logically that is how i also though it functions but when i test it it adds the time. This is how it functions on the NVRs listed in the video. Tested for short periods and longer periods.

@@ecologicaltime Thanks for the Reply, That is odd because I have been using Dahua for many years and I have some very old AI hardware from Dahua as well. Before the invent of the 4216.. I also have a 4216E-AI.. I have tested my Alarm output Latch with a Stop watch and it is right on what it is set at. Only one I have had an issue with is a older system from 2012 It is like the motion is to touchy and even though I don't see anything trigger after the Anti Dither is over it must trigger again and adds on time.. Or maybe it was just defective from the start. All my other systems with Alarms, most of them are Dahua or Dahua OEM products I do have some Hikvision with Alarm in and outs as well..

[@ecologicaltime]

i too used a stop watch and reported it as it performed. I tested twice. This is why i say logically its supposed to work as you described but it did not on the unit in the video.
