I'm looking for IP cameras with Wi-Fi, SD chip compatible, PTZ, IP66, motion detection, night vision. One camera will be mounted outside pointing at a dock and piers on the Intracoastal Waterway so we can record shore bird activity with one camera and another camera mounted on a tree to record...

Thank you for the suggestion which I will try out soon. Very frustrated with IE and Chrome even with NACL and IE Tab plug-ins on the most important viewing computer. The Chrome/NACL is the only thing that works so far on that Windows 10 machine. Same machine using IE crops off about 25% off...

This is our Great Horned Owl project. All we need now is a pair of owls. Thanks to all for your help. Looking over a man-made owl nest hoping for the best. Situated on the Intracoastal Waterway in southeastern, NC In tight for when there are residents in the nest.

I am aware of the security issues with port forwarding, but they are at a lower priority at the moment. The objective is to record videos and stills of owls in a nest. We've had owls nest and raise chicks in the area the past few years. I have the basics intact, but it's recording an almost a...

I thought not. Thank you.

Hello. I am dealing with Dahua, Sharx, and Dahua cameras so far. Can Blue Iris access the recordings on the SD chip of a camera?

I appreciate the suggestions and tips I've gotten through this forum. Now I can produce .MP4 videos and .JPG still images, but I ended up using the firmware within the camera by browsing to it and logging in. SmartPSS seems to want a server of some type, but I want to store the video on the...

I downloaded SmartPSS from the Dahua site and installed it. It takes some time to learn to use it much. You are correct, it does give you JPG snapshots, but now I get .DAV videos instead of .MP4. Is there a way to get both .JPG snapshots and .MP4 videos? Also, in SmartPSS is there a way to...

Hello. Today we got our Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z installed and viewing what will hopefully be a nest for great horned owls. I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to understand how to manipulate the camera. I'm using Internet Explorer to do this. Is there a way to produce snapshots in JPG...

Hello. I installed xProtect Go which quickly found the Dahua and Sharx cameras connected to my LAN, but, so far, I've been unable to find where I can add remote cameras via DynDNS. I also need a SmartPhone app that will provide live video access. There will be fewer than 8 cameras. Is there...

When I tried it yesterday it would not sow all the info on the "playback" area, ut it seems OK now. Thank you.

I've downloaded and installed both. I'll check them out. Thank you!

Thank you. I installed the latest firmware from the link you gave me. Thank you!

Hello. I just got my first Dahua IPC-HDW231RP-Z and, I have to admit, it's been a struggle. I ordrered a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z IPC-HDW5231RP-Z was sent which I presume to be the same This is how it came and remains unchanged . Software Version: 2.460.0000.14.R, Build Date: 2017-07-20 WEB...

Hi Mat200, My concern is to be able to focus on a subject that close (5'-8' from the lens). My objective is are clear images and videos of the animals. I've been researching the HDW5231 and I like it a lot. I need to put a package together consisting of a PoE switch, bridge components and a...
