Thanks for the feedback, glad you've got it resolved.

It looks great, but crazy expensive. Who can justify paying £800+ on a doorbell. Many people don't even spend that on their entire CCTV system. Thanks for sharing though

It looks like something, in the bottom left corner of the camera, is reflecting the IR light back into the camera. This could be what's making the image so dark except in that corner? Try repositioning the camera so it has a clear view, and see if that resolves the issue?

This is the POE powered switch...

Just sharing in case it helps others. How I broke my IPC-HDW5231R-Z I decided I wanted more cameras after running a single cable to the side of my home, so I followed the cliff notes idea of using a POE powered switch. The POE switch was housed in an "off the shelf" waterproof enclosure...

Thanks I've discovered that if I save the video to my android phone (lg g6) and then upload it to YouTube from the phone, I get sound. Maybe the app saves it as MP4 when downloading to phones. Eitherway I hope this might help others. Incase I want to share from the NVR, in the future, can...

Hi, I want to post a recording to my YouTube account. When I down the file from my dahua NVR and play on PC it works with sound. When I download the video to my phone, it works with sound. However when I upload the .dav file to YouTube it doesn't have sound. What's the best way to get sound...

This looks promising, anyone got any experience with Yoosee? Seems too good to be true. Cheap, Poe, ONVIF and 1080p 1080p app controlled smart doorbell camera PoE wireless Wi-Fi AC 8-24V DC 9-36V built-in PIR motion sensor Yoosee app

Sadly no. I'm hoping Nest will release a Poe version of the Hello, as I have Nest thermostat and Nest Hubs. In the meantime I'm using a wireless dumb doorbell. It reaches the home office which is detached from the house, so I don't miss deliveries when in the office anymore. It's a solution...

Thanks for sharing. Very informative

Hi all, I want a Poe doorbell for greater reliability, and so I don't have to hire an electrician to change the doorbell transformer. I want it to connect to my NVR and record either 24/7, or just when a person comes to the door. I want the bell to connect to my phone and inform me when it is...

The variation will be different between apps and phones. Without the hardware and software being perfectly tuned to each other it's only a guesstimate. It was accurate for me to see if the new fan made an improvement. Admittedly it doesn't give an accurate estimate to the amount it has...

I used Sound Meter on Android. Here is the link... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.tools.soundmeter.decibel.noisedetector The top app in the picture...

Here is my noise comparison video. Im sure its a far from perfect comparison, but it atleast gives some idea of the noise... As these are more commercial units, they are probably designed to be installed in a business server/data cabinet somewhere rather than a front room, so noise probably...

Hi Steve, Sorry to hear the issue affects you too, but at least I know it's not just me. I've added the new fan and speed reducer cable, cost me a total of £15 and about 2 hours of my time, (I had a few snags and had to find tools) a more competent DIYer could do it in under an hour...
