Thanks. Still not really sure which one to get, though. I'm choosing between IPC-HDW2231R-ZS Starlight turret vs IPC-HFW2231T-ZS 2MP Starlight bullet. As far as I can tell from the specs, they are identical except for the form factor. Which one would you choose to mount on trees/poles in a...

Thanks! So how do you go about choosing between dome/turret/etc yourself? I was set on dome but I don't really know why. Turret version of the same model looks good too. Same field of view. 2231 model I'm talking about anyway.

Thanks! And you're right marigo, water spots on the lens is what I'm worried about, messing with the picture. Unfortunately my cams will be mounted outside to a tree or post, so not under a soffit etc. Any recommendations for mounts to protect better in those situations?

Hi guys Was hoping any of you could give input on the PFB203W bracket for Dahua dome cams. When it's raining, do the cameras still get water on them? In particular models like 2231 starlight varifocal. Thanks

Thanks for your input! Welcome to the forum. :wave:

Thank you.

Lol. I did. I was just responding to the gentleman that said I could buy TWO for the price of ONE Unifi and still be ahead money wise. That's the only one that fits that case.

So you would recommend IPC-HDW1320S? That's the only one that fits that price point.

Yea, I've been through all that. Basically buy from Andy on AliExpress. I've done that before, but I actually prefer to buy products locally to me, that way I can walk into a store and actually talk to someone/get my product replaced right away, instead of waiting a week/sending a defective...

Thanks. Please If possible tell me a dealer that sells Dahua cameras in Canada where I can get them cheaper than Unifi's cams, it would be greatly appreciated.

I take it you're a big fan of Unifi! From what you said, it seems that Blue Iris' motion detection takes a lot of processing power, then, correct? If so, can you list what is so superior about it compared to others? Also, If possible you can tell me a dealer that sells Dahua cameras (yea...not...

Hi guys I've seen a video where it was shown that Ubiquiti's cameras (using Unifi Video software) will do H.264 encoding on the camera themselves, leaving the NVR to have very little CPU utilization (basically next to nothing), and therefore can run many cameras on a rig that has low specs...

Thanks guys. TonyR yes I have tried doing that, no dice. Anyway I ended up just connecting the camera to the router for initial setup...whatever... Is there any way to delete the "admin" account? I've changed the password but it keeps saying it's protected.

Thanks for the reply Mat In the quick start guide it shows to scan the QR code into the app, put in your WiFi password and it should configure... Is that only a feature of other models?

Hi guys, This is the first Dahua camera that I buy. Got it from Andy here on the forum. I've been having major troubles getting it connected to a WiFi network. I tried using a bunch of the Dahua apps, including their gDMSS apps and Easy4IP, all give the same error. After I add the camera via...
