    HDW4231EM Needs Adjustment or Is It Broken?

    The setup I have is temporary just to see if it worked (as you can see from the location of the camera on a piece of firewood & M2 zip tied to the yard hydrant.. It is a clear line of sight. Will be installing them under the soffit to increase the security.

    Soladaddy: Good Eye. Yes it's a NanoStation Loco M2. Just installed it this summer to span 500 foot to my shop. Great addition. Almost 100% of signal strength made it across.

    Ok...first...my apologies to bp2008. You were correct and my conclusion was wrong. fenderman is correct also in his assessmennt off bp2008's analysis. I went outside with a long straight pole in hand and walked slowly back and forth in front of another camera that I thought had no distortion...

    ----------Not the first incorrect conclusion I've heard. And I'm sure it won't be the last. Thanks for your input.

    That's a screen capture using a snipping tool with the bottom cropped of address and name. Nothing from before the distortion started. I delete everything older than 24 hr if no activity of importance. Here's a BI snapshot:

    I have 2 other 4231 cameras just like this one plus a 5231 without this distortion.

    so, that leads to the problem being the camera and not BI..?

    The previous day everything was great. Building and post were straight. No changes were made to the camera or to the Blue Iris settings.

    I have a EmpireTech IP Camera IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE Starlight 2MP. The picture has been fine since 6/27/18. But yesterday tit changed. Here is what I see. I use Blue Iris too. That is a steel pipe post on the left and the building on the right also has developed a curve. Is this something I can fix...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Ok, misread the statement. Read it as "IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, and IPC-HDW5231R-Z stopped production from May, when my current stock use up, then totally ends." Glad to see that. Thanks

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Sorry to hear that. Got my first, and last?, IPC-HDW5231R-Z last week and was just planning to buy another. What model do you offer and recommend as a good comparable turret camera? No PTZ needed, The HDW5231R-Z capabilities work for me. Thanks Paul
