Dahua Cam Audio Shootout! | IP Cam Talk
April 27, 2018 - Btw: since this encoding is mentioned in the specs the camera must be doing some encoding. If so, I would expect the highest quality audio from an encoding standpoint would be to preserve what was already encoded and to avoid decompression via transcoding. So, where does the encoding happen? And what is the native encoding of typical 5231 Dahua?

r/homeassistant on Reddit: AAC support for Dahua Cameras
January 30, 2024 -
Hi All,
I am a newbie here and in market for some good cameras for Frigate/HomeAssistant Setup. I think I am going to settle down with the Dahua. But on Frigate's recommended hardware webpage, the first line states
Cameras that output H.264 video and AAC audio will offer the most compatibility with all features of Frigate and Home Assistant.
I tried to looked the spec sheets of dozens of Dahua Cameras on their website but none of them have AAC listed as Audio Compression.
I just want to confirm few things as below.
-
Do they actually not have AAC or it's just missed out in their documentation?
-
If some of you have Dahua which does actually support AAC, can you please confirm with the model number?
-
If they don't support AAC, which features will I be missing out in Frigate and HA?
Thanks

I can confirm Dahua IPC-HDW1430DT-STW has AAC. I use it with frigate and works great, sound also!

Cameras that output H.264 Just thought I'd mention, 264 is an older codec. When recording in this mode, stream and storage are about 2x the size of 265. So if you run them this way, you cut your storage in half.

Audio quality in Dahua System | IP Cam Talk
February 7, 2018 - That camera isn't made by Dahua. There are two options that make sense to me, recording the audio & video on a camcorder and recording the audio on a computer (preferably multi-track). The camcorder is actually a very good option. The audio codecs on an IP cam or DVR aren't optimized for music, most are codecs used for voip telephone calls.

May 12, 2021 - I was doing this very thing today with my new Dahua and HikVision cameras. I found that I also had to match the "audio encoding" setting that was on the camera with BI. So if my camera said "G.711u" I had to select that in BI as well. I got the HikVision camera working, pretty cool!
