    Andy saved the day, ended up having to reflash the firmware to an older version.

    IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M IPC-HX5X3X-Multi-Rhea_Eng_V2.622.0000000.38.R.211029 Dual lens Firmware

    My camera was experiencing some issues and based on the recent good reviews here on the firmware, I decided to update. After the firmware update, I get this lovely shade of green! I tried both the firmware from Dahua's website and the one Andy has on the first page of this forum. Any suggestions...

    Help with IVS Tripwire and Intrusion

    @sebastiantombs Correct, I just have IVS turned on and the others turned off. From reading the other posts about IVS, that is what it seemed that shadows and night time car headlights shouldn't trip it, but I have had both happen. EDIT: I should note that this particular camera (2231R-ZS) does...

    Help with IVS Tripwire and Intrusion

    My intrusion zone has a big tree shadow in the afternoon, and I am finding that on windy days, the shadow is triggering the intrusion zone. Would the best advise be to just use tripwire for this camera?

    Help with IVS Tripwire and Intrusion

    I didn't have "Get ONVIF trigger events" turned on in the camera video section. After turning that on it got a trigger. In regard to having both tripwire and intrusion active in the screenshots above, is that best practice? Is a Stright line tripwire OK or would zip zag lines do better?

    Help with IVS Tripwire and Intrusion

    Looking for help on getting IVS to trigger BI. I setup the following in the camera and BI. I have all the options in Video Detection turned off currently. When I walk around the camera, nothing gets triggered in BI. What am I missing?

    VTO2231R-WP and a mechanical chime

    Sweet, I think I will attempt to use the doorbell chime wires to power it and see what happens. I'll absolutely setup the bench test first. I am thinking I will first get the camera setup without any modifications just to make sure it works for a bit, then go in and attempt to add this mod...

    VTO2231R-WP and a mechanical chime

    Awesome, thanks! My only issue is finding a power source close to the doorbell. As you probably can tell I am a bit out of my element, but I was wondering if it would be possible to either use the 24V AC doorbell chime wires and a convertor (24V AC to 12 V DC) and use that to supply the power to...

    VTO2231R-WP and a mechanical chime

    Thanks for the response! I think I have it figured out but I thought I would diagram it out to confirm. Run a lead wire (shown a green below) from the door bell cam button out. Door bell to be powered by PoE. Connect the supplied "second" VTO wiring plug connection cable. The (green) added...

    VTO2231R-WP and a mechanical chime

    Ah, yeah that makes total sense. Glad I asked. I am a bit confused on how this relay works. THANKS IN ADVANCE! My best guess is below: The added doorbell cam wire goes to "IN"? The door bell chime wires go to DC + and DC -? Then you mentioned that this relay needs to be powered and you are...

    VTO2231R-WP and a mechanical chime

    @sebastiantombs What purpose does the 1-Way Relay Module serve? Would connecting two wires to the button pictured above (one to the + and - side) and then connecting those two wires to the 2 wires at the doorbell complete the circuit and make the chime if the button was pushed? I am guessing I...

    Review- VTO2301R-P 2mp Door Station/Doorbell Dahua/Empiretech

    Gotcha, yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply! Also, since you used DMSS without internet access. I am assuming your phone would have to be on your local network (or VPN) in order to initiate a call with the person at the front door? @sebastiantombs if you wouldn't mind finding...

    Review- VTO2301R-P 2mp Door Station/Doorbell Dahua/Empiretech

    Did you happen to try whatever modification you mentioned above to get the house chime working? Would you mind elaborating what you did in order to accomplish this?
