Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
Mine looks like this:
I never choose Make and Model, only write IP and psw then click Find/inspect. After that I set Receive buffer to 20 and uncheck those RTSP things.

Awesome! Guess you'll be shooting out PayPal invoices soon then?

Sorry, just saw this, and I had set it to private because I wanted to see if it would work lol. I dunno that I will stream any cams from inside of my house I'm pretty paranoid but perhaps when I get my PTZ up or something I'll stream some outside video. As long as no street signs are visible I don't think anyone would be able to figure out where I live. I am intrigued by the idea of crowdsourced surveillance though, not with just any random person on the internet mind you, but maybe in a group. I sort of do this when I go out of town and take my dog with us. I have a buddy that lives a mile away and has lots of guns who keeps an eye on my cams so you know, if someone did break in, they wouldn't have long to do their business.

Paypal is my preferred payment method, you have some protection from an american company, and I think it's cheaper for Andy and therefore cheaper for you. Not saying I don't trust Andy, I don't trust anyone, lol. He's been a good dude though, once you find a reputable dealer from China for cameras you definitely need to stick with them.

Oh, no worries with either @EMPIRETECANDY or PayPal. That was my over-anxious way of saying "I hope Andy sends me a PayPal invoice soon, so I know if mine made this batch or not".

On a positive note, my PTZ is out for delivery, he told me I'd get it Friday, woohoo.

Getting the hang of it
Mine is too
. I think that it's here (Finland) next week.Does anyone have an image of the firmware that is running on those cameras?
Otherwise:
Did anyone have success getting shell access on their camera? (e.g. telnet)
If so then it'd be nice if you could make a firmware dump and send it my way:
Use this script here that you'd put on your NAS or SD card and execute there: https://i.botox.bz/backup_mtd.sh
The files will be written to the current working directory.
Or actually a lot easier, one of you guys download this file off of their camera and post it here: http://192.168.1.108/custom_lang/English.txt?version=2.400
Works for all other languages you have aswell if you do

you should read this: Reamde: A Novel: Neal Stephenson: 9780062191496: Amazon.com: Books
in part of the book they describe a crowd sourced video surveillance system for airports, to prevent someone from walking in an exit they turned every human in the airport into a troll in World of Warcraft (equivalent) and would reward players if they killed any troll that were walking the wrong way through an exit.. which would alert security that someone was about to bypass checkpoints and catch em before they had to shut the whole airport down to find em.. they basically turned watching security cameras in airports into a crowd-sourced game

a quick question for current owners of this dahua camera. with the ability to use a micro sd for backup recording, do you have the option to only record to sd only when there's motion while setting the NVR to record 24/7? I ask because the sandisk high endurance micro sd states it can handle up to 10,000 hours of video. if the card is being written 24/7, that 10,000 hour does not amount to much.

yes it can, second of all fuck sandisk, buy a samsung.. and lastly 10k hours is 416 days minimum and video could mean anything.. from crappy SD camera to UHD with great codecs, not really usefull metric.
i got the sandisk mainly for the "high endurance" label supposedly made for dash cams and security cams. it supposedly uses MLC for longevity/reliability. the equivalent Transcend cost quite a bit more.
What Samsung would you recommend instead that has MLC nand? I have been using the Sandisk mentioned above in 2 dash cams so far without issue, granted it's only been a few months.

Ive been recording continuously to Evo+ without a problem; dont need MLC as long as your not getting the bottom of the barrel crap..
the thing is, there's literally no way to tell what type of nand, good/bad or bottom of the barrel that will come with just about all other memory out there if they don't mention it's optimized for writes. you could argue it's all marketing but i've nothing else to go off of other than asking on forums like this.

the faster the speeds, the more quality the NAND.. security cameras dont need 20MB/s write speed by any stretch; so most just buy whatever's cheapest and then quickly regret it a few months later.. but the higher quality NAND gets put in the biggest and fastest chips first, then as quality decreases they put it in mid and low range products depending on how many defects it has.
I just use mine as backup recording, its not primary.. so its not mission critical and im not keen on spending more on the flash than I did for the camera or 10BTB of storage.. otherwise I'd just buy a 2nd NVR.

good point, thanks for the feedback.
