    Camera and NVR suggestions?

    Camera and NVR suggestions?

    My BIL recently got a quote for Hikvision cameras and NVR and interestingly they added a ring doorbell to the mix. Any thoughts on this setup (pic below)? Given the inflated pricing, I know we can do better, but should it go the way of Hikvision or Dahua or ?? Which model(s) would you...

    Latest new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Tried formatting via the GUI and it's not accomplishing the task successfully. Looks like I will have to pull the camera down and manually format this on my PC.

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Hi Everyone, I recently noticed that my 5231-ZE cam was loosing connection to BI intermittently, so I looked into the logs from the camera (attached). Currently running V2.800.0000016.0.R, Build Date: 2020-06-05 Is this pointing towards a faulty SD card or buggy firmware? Thanks!

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    I had a few minutes tonight to play with the settings. Left the encoding and main stream settings as before but switched a couple of items as suggested. It seems better but I have yet to test it against a moving object.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    So I played around with the settings and I don't feel that I have made an improvement. Still getting blurry images when pausing on moving objects (me walking past the camera) at night. What am I doing wrong here?

    Good point. I can't recall my shutter speed but will have to check it out. Is it a common practice to adjust the shutter speed between the day and night settings? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    Mine are currently set at 15 FPS and when pausing the footage on moving vehicles I do not get a clear picture. Does anyone else have this problem? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
