    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    I just received 4 more cameras from Aliexpress. And what do you know, the firmware is 12-09. It supports English, French, Spanish, and Russian. Any chance they're using @cor35vet's firmware? How can we tell if it's yours? Also, easy4IP tab available. Default firmware doesn't have that...

    Cisco 300 series managed POE switches

    Also, I'm not sure why you think the switch doesn't allow ports to work in multiple VLANs. It does. By default, the ports are in "trunk" mode which means it can be in more than one VLAN. You can actually assign it, one VLAN is tagged the other untagged.

    No. Unprotected ports can talk to protected ports. If your NVR is unprotected, it can communicate with any other protected ports. Cameras <-> NVR <-> Internet. Cameras <-X-> Internet. Just try it and let me know if it doesn't work.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Hey, I just received the SF300. The easiest way to accomplish what you're doing is to make all the ports for the cameras "protected ports" then also make the uplink port a protected port. Since protected ports can never communicate with each other, the cameras will forever be isolated from each...

    Pixelated motion on IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    Never heard of CC-TV Mall. I have heard of Ebay and aliexpress though. The prices are much higher there. Around 160 on Aliexpress. So about double on Ali, triple on Ebay, or 52 more on a random website. Point taken though. For those who need the metal camera, UL listing, FCC approval... there's...

    Pixelated motion on IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    IPC-HFW2421R-ZS international version I found one on Ebay for $240. The 4431, Chinese version is 1/3 the price. It looks exactly the same to me. Except the Chinese version will brick with unmodded firmware? That's one way to do price discrimination without changing the product. Amen to that...

    Pixelated motion on IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    Checking the HFW2421R-ZS-IRE6, that one has multiple IR lights (16?). The 4431R-Z only has four IR lights and is rated at 80M (probably exaggeration, but clearly there's a change in IR that it uses). I only need variafocal 2.8-12mm, the rest is superfluos. I will have the cameras up on my...

    Pixelated motion on IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    I guess this is where the security camera enthusiasts crowd has different views of good for security. These cameras are great for security purposes, as my previous cameras were garbage. I can make out details I was never able to before. I also have an alarm system and the cameras are only for...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have not used the SF300 yet, but based on past experience, you have to create a trunk (look up trunking). Alternatively, treat it as separate switches and create a routing table. Allow camera vlan1 to route to NVR vlan2, then drop all packets from vlan1 to internet uplink port. set system...

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    So I have an old Core 2 Q6600. However, it has a GTX460. I think the Nvidia card has hardware acceleration. That should work with Blue Iris right?

    Pixelated motion on IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    Yeah, just checked the price for the R-Z version of the 2MP. 350 for one? I'm taking pictures of strangers and potential burglars... not pictures of my kids. There's no way I can spend 1400 for 4. I'm pretty happy with the cheaper 4431. Awesome quality on a budget. Edit: North American version...

    Pixelated motion on IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    Sorry, I don't have my POE Cisco switch yet (still on the way) I'm still using a 12v adapter to test. Plus my house is under remodeling for another two weeks before I can properly hang this up. However, here's another image of the other side of the room which is 10-12 feet away (room is 10x12).
