Andy, If a situation happens like my situation where your freight forwarding service sends to China, and someone signs for it in China, but that someone doesn't work for Dahua, what is the outcome? Total loss for the customer, or does the responsibility then fall on your freight forwarding...

Any update on this? I'm curious to know how this turned out for you. Didn't turn out too good for me, but I only lost approximately $500, not $1800. I was having issues with two of my IPC-HFW5231E-Z12's, so I purchased two new from Andy, then sent both with issues back to China for warranty...

Critical thinking doesn't help much when you know nothing about the topic. Kinda thought I pointed that out in my original post. I've had problems with this system that did turn out to be the devices fault. Did you stop and critically think about that before posing a condescending, judgement...

Lol... I guess I'm a real idiot then since I'm not an email wrangling, server mastering, imap kungfu ninja....:rolleyes:

I have a Dahua nvr model NVR5216-16P-4KS2 that has been working flawlessly for roughly 1 year now sending snapshot notifications to my email. Yesterday this feature just stopped working. I tested the cat5 cable (internet) connection from router to nvr and it's good. I teseted nvr connection to...

Will do. Thanks again for all the replies, everyone.

Thanks again. Just to clarify, if I've got fps set to 5, then my iframe setting should also be set to 5, correct?

Thanks everyone for the replies. Sorry for the delayed response, but I've had other things come up and just haven't had time. Ok so increasing bitrate did indeed fix the problem. So I guess the only questions that remain are: Can I turn bitrate back down to say 2000 range and match i frame to...

I also wanted to mention that I didn't pull these settings out of thin air lol... This gentleman seemed to get good results so I copied his settings. IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

It looks like 3584 is the max i can set bitrate.

You will have to excuse my ignorance, but when you say I frame settings are you referring to the I frame interval? If so that setting is set to 10 on the cam. I think I set it to 265 initially but the camera reset itself, so not sure if it helped or not. In the process of making these changes...

I will log into cam when I get home and post settings. I do have a question, though. The last Z12 I had mounted in this spot worked fine with the same settings. It may not have been optimal, but I didn't have any complaints as I was catching tags and even faces. That camera got the point where...

It may also be worth noting that the camera changed my night exposure settings by itself. That's a first for me as well.

Hey, thanks for the reply. The camera was default 512, but my other Z12E is 2048 and working fine so I set this camera to 2048, but no dice. H264H, fps =5, bitrate type cbr. Thanks

Anyone have any suggestions for a fix? Camera is brand spanking new (as in, installed a couple days ago new). I have done a hard reset and no success. Camera faulty? Video quality is good until any movement, then it blurrs so bad it's useless. I have another Z12E installed that works perfect...
