We had this camera at work and it was very troublesome. So we retired it. Connection issues. Rather than throw it away directly. I thought I'd give it a try to see if it could be revived. I can see it with the Dahua config tool, but when I try to change the ip, I get a password error. When...

Worked like a dream. Thanks

Its the 64 bit on my laptop Ill, drop and punt and try again. Thanks

I've been away a whole, as my system has been fairly stable, but I have encountered a little problem I could use some help with. So, I was given a couple of IP cameras that were previously installed on another system. I am trying to get them connected on mine, but their IP addresses are...

Thanks for that, I'm nit having any problems, was just thinking about it. I'm not real impressed with those n43s compared to my other ones. I picked them up cheap, so my expectations weren't very high anyway. But I guess I was hoping for better video quality or something. Especially in low...

Actually, the 5231 camera is 2 - same as 4 1 and 3 are dome cameras of some model I'm not sure of. Thanks for that reply, I'll look that over in the morning.

And my NVR - Is there advantage to upgrading it? Web Version: 3.2.3.98477 Onvif Version: 2.4.1 System Version: 3.216.0000000.0, Build Date: 2018-06-05

is it possible to know the model of the 1st 3 cameras from the version #? two are the same. Probably IPC-HDW5231R-ZE for 1 and 3

Hello all, I've been absent for some time, but am recently thinking of adding a camera to my system. I've sort of lost touch with my specific hardware, and would like to avoid too many trips up and down a ladder. I took a screenshot of my setup screen to show my current hardware. Would...

That is probably the route i will take. Just shelve these cameras for a while. I was not aware previously, but there are several spare 600 line cameras on site to use. Will modify the adapter I made to accept them

Kind of thinking that's why I started this thread. I don't know hdcvi from shinola

True, but the user just wanted to replace some cameras, not the the dvr too. System was working fine for his needs. Like i said, i just assumed there was a switch, or parallel signal outputs. Never was aware of anything you guys have mentioned.

I am rather dissapointed that these new cameras are useless to me at this point. Wasted $$

On the AIM that I just connected, there are communication options on PTZ screen, but no resolution. I get a bunch of wavy type horizontal lines. Can't find where I can select anything that you mention. The AIM is definitively a newer OS.

In the time i spent with it, i could access focus and ptz sub screen, but did not seem to be what i was looking for regarding resolution. I think it has other problems too. Couldn't get to any playback screens. I do have another dvr that i am not using. It is newer. AIM and says h.264 on...
