Congrats!

I'm selling this camera. This is a no reserve auction. It has worked well for me the 2 years I've had it in service. I purchased it in Jan 2019 from Andy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dahua-IPC-HDW5831R-ZE-Camera-w-PFB203W-wall-mount/324487642936

I’m going to be selling and shipping some cameras. Is there a recommended way to protect the lens port in shipping? A film or something to protect the optical glass from getting scratched? TIA

Thanks. That seems to be the .16 firmware. I am looking for the slightly less latest firmware. It seems like .13 and .15 are the more desirable versions (is this true? Seems like folk have had issues with .16.). The reason I am upgrading them is that I am selling them and would like to...

What is the recommended firmware for my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras? I see that there is a version V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605, but reading the below thread casts some doubt on whether I should load it or not. I see references to an older .13 or .15 version of the FW being better than the latest...

That was it, thank you very much. Not sure how 8 were set and one wasn't (the 10th one was added later and likely not configured the same). Pretty sure that I didn't set any of them. All had admin as an onvif user. It does seem to be a different pw than the general admin user for those two...

I've got a network monitoring system that I am trying out. It is able to pull, I think via onvif, information about my dahua cameras and also initiate a reboot. This works great on 8 of my 10 cams. On 2 of them, this information is not collected and the remote reboot does not work. I cannot...

That worked! Thank you so much. Not sure why this is so hard to find. Thanks!

I've got a dozen IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras that I am trying to use the MJPEG stream. Unfortunately, my application does not accept a URL that begins with RTSP:/, which, unfortunately, all of the URLs that I have been able to set up for streaming begin with. Is there non-rtsp URL that can be used...

Yes, thanks. I know what they are. Sometimes they are not present. How do I make them visible? When they are not present, "Set Start Frame" and "Set End Frame" are grey in the right click menu. "Convert/Export" is greyed out too. I'll spend time finding the clip I want and then it's random...

When I am viewing a camera recording in BI Viewer, how do I turn on the crop marks so that I can export a clip?

Wish it was 1/4-20. This looks like the same unit, although a different box. It seems to indicate 6mm, .236” or so. There is a 6mm 1.0 pitch size. I’ll see if I can find one of these to test with. Not sure if it is worth violating lockdown for. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32755862931.html...

I've got a similar unit. I cannot find the spec for what size screw to use to mount this. I picked up a 1/4"-20, which I assumed was the standard size and it does not fit. What size is this? Does anyone have a favorite mount similar to this one that will work with these illuminators? I...

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dYO2gM8 Amazon.com: Panavise 845-246W Deluxe Micro Mount (Cream): Car Electronics I've received this mount. It is really nice. Unfortunately, the 1/4"-20 thread does not screw into this Illuminator. Does anyone know what size thread the Illuminator has? I...

Thanks to tips from here, I am running my cam and Illuminator both off of POE and using my single installed cat5. Powering with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SM196AE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And using this plugged into my poe switch, 2 adjacent ports...
