I am using blue iris so using the digital IP connection. I did still let me choose 30 fps in config and I connected to blue iris where it does show 30 fps in the status tab as well. So maybe not an issue leaving it PAL? I did try the NTSC firmware file above as it was little newer but it gave...

Opps meant for that to be in the converation for Andy not on the post lol Thanks for the info UncleGrahm.

Hi Andy, Quick question for you. Just opened up first camera to start setting up. Opened a HFW8232E. Just wanted to check if these where all NTSC? When I go into settings -> System -> General - The Video Standard says PAL and doesnt let me change that. Not sure if that means this is a PAL...

Wow ordered on Monday got all 8 cameras on Friday to US! Crazy fast. Thanks Andy. Also thanks for taking all the time chatting with me on different models and everything. Can wait to hook up my 4 x IPC-HFW8232E-ZE and 4 x IPC-HFW5231E-Z. Joe

Great point. I was trying to look for another lower mounting area as well :) The 2nd camera tho is on the corner of house pointing across the drive way that would have caught the front of them but didn't trigger from the motion. Going to check out some more mounting options like you suggested...

Thanks for the feedback mat200! Funny that was the other camera I was considering, the HDW5231R-ZE.

We paid for...

Ok I will check with seller. No issues with either build. All cameras working good. The 7.R seems to have more tabs and few features that the newer 8.R doesn't. Both builds are from mid 2015 was all. Is it not a good idea to have the latest build out from Dahua on them all? Thanks Joe

Hello All, Setting up a system for first time. Ordered 7 x Dahua IPC-HFW4421S and they working great. Some of them have 7.R builds ad some have 8.R builds. I would live to update the firmware on all of them to the latest one. Where do I get that file for to update to? I have looked all over the...

Hello All, First post to the forum and looking forward to many more I hope! I am trying to set up my first camera security system and wanted to get some specific advice on few items. I have been reading many posts here but there is just SO much! After getting enough info on NVR vs PC etc.. I...
