I'm curious to see what you find when you get the cam back. I spent a lot of time troubleshooting it but no luck. Maybe your guys will have better luck. It should be there in a week or so.
Here's what happened with the two I got from you Andy. One works flawlessly and is currently watching the driveway. The other one - when I would plug it into the POE switch it would show a POE power light but never a link light. Someone on the forum suggested doing a factory reset by holding...
Thats how much it can turn manually once you mount it. It doesn't have motorized pan/tilt. The good news is if its not what you need you'll have no problems selling it.
Pan and Title aren't supported for this camera. Zoom works fine for me thru BI using the +/-. I'm not sure I'd worry about the PAL/NTSC thing. Digital is digital.
I think there's a couple guys on here returning cameras to Andy. Here's my research on shipping costs:
UPS - $120 deliver 2-3 business days
Fedex - $100 deliver 2-3 business days
DHL - $96 deliver 2 business days
USPS - $22.75. 7-10 days.
I'll let you guess which one i chose... :winktongue:
Thanks Andy - I will ship mine back to you today via USPS. Should have it in about 10 days or so.
Could you get the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 fixed in the aliexpress store? I'd like to order one.
One of MY 5231s seems to be DOA. I plug it into the POE switch and the POE power light comes on but I never get a link light. Its definitely a camera problem as I've tried multiple ports on the switch that I know work. Anyone have this behavior or anything I can try before I exchange with...
I'm thinking about buying one of these from @EMPIRETECANDY for LPR.
What I can't quite figure out is why the Z5 is $214 and the Z12 is $200. I would think that the bigger zoom would carry the bigger price tag. Am I missing something here? Does anyone have experience using either of these for...
I've thought about a flood too. Does anyone know which wavelength of light the Dahua's are sensitive to? Is this something that needs to be considered?
Interesting. I placed mine via email/paypal on April 24 and I'm still waiting. They haven't even shipped yet. I bet @EMPIRETECANDY filled the aliexpress ones first because they require the tracking numbers within so many days. I probably got shuffled to the back. Something to keep in mind...
