What's the easiest way to save a video that's still recording? I set it up to record continuosly, but other than that I don't mess with BI that much. There's an event I caught on two cameras a few minutes ago and I want the video now. How would you go about doing that the easiest, quickest...

Woops, nevermind. Had to set my local IP address manually.

I initialized and set the IP address of my new camera before I unhooked from the router. My IP addresses for the cameras are: 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.21 192.168.1.22 192.168.1.23 IP Config Tool sees them but nothing else does.

I'm adding my fourth camera and want to get rid of the unnecessary router. I have the switch connected to my PC and Config Tool reads the cameras. I unhooked all but one and even though Config Tool sees it I can't connect to it in a web browser or BI or even ping it from CMD prompt. What am...

So I am the original poster here. I am wanting a PTZ camera that doesn't cost a fortune and has decent night vision. What are your recommendations?

Cheap DVR/NVR 4x camera kits are as cheap as $149.99 when on sale/clearance. It's not that Dahua's are too expensive. But if someone doesn't have anything to compare too as far as quality and only price, and I only have Dahua's, they would seem to be expensive. Thanks for the replies.

Why are the Dahua Starlight IP cameras so recommended when a single camera costs almost as much as a cheap all-in-one DVR setup? I'd like to hear every reason there is. I've already bought some myself, I have 2x 2231 and 1x 5231. They're great quality cameras, and I come from a custom PC...

Sorry for the huge images. I fixed it with some regular screws I bought for the base plates the other day.

I have a Dahua PFA152-E Pole Mount bracket. The screws that came with it won't fit in my IPC-HDW2231R-ZS camera base plate. The washers (that won't come off the screw, the threads are wider than the washer hole) the washers are too big to fit down in the hole. I thought this camera was...

Right, I suppose I could use the web interface to set the zoom/focus initially. I have 2x 2231 cameras that zoom in Blue Iris. This 5231 doesn't want to though.

No, in Blue Iris. Edit: I just tried the web page and it does not zoom either. Edit 2: Oh wait. Yes it does. I just wasn't familiar with the web page. Still doesn't zoom in Blue Iris though.

I recently installed a new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, but the zoom doesn't seem to be working. I think I have it enabled, but it doesn't zoom. What could be the issue?

I found this one - IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE Dahua OEM 2MP IP Camera H.265 ePOE Starlight IR Mic IP67 IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE 2.8mm 6901021067758 | eBay *Edit: Or this one seems more legit from Andy. IPC-HDW5231R-ZE...

Can you find the model numbers or links to them? Thanks

What if I wanted cameras with built-in microphones? Are there any good cameras with that feature?
