    202107 Latest New Version DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Nova_Eng_P/N_Stream3--IPC-HFW8232E-Z/ZE

    Reset the cam to factory default, and set it up again afterwards. Do NOT import a settings file exported with the previous firmware. That helped with a few problems I had. However, the 190627 version "aborts" from time to time (probably in connection with IVS events), read: it crashes...

    202107 Latest New Version DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Nova_Eng_P/N_Stream3--IPC-HFW8232E-Z/ZE

    Is there any newer Nova firmware? The 190627 version crashes from time to time on all of my cams (Abort - Restart)...

    SmartPSS on macOS Catalina

    Not for me. App is dead slow, "Quit" is greyed out, and fisheye dewarping leads to a mostly white display.

    Dahua HDW5831R-ZE review

    Perfect review, dzięki! It replaces a 4421 in my case, and the 5831 is by far the better cam. In all regards. Most of all, since the last fw update, it has day/night-profile switching which is essential for any outdoor cam. Great product.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Also, as if those issues weren't enough, if "Scene change" alarms are enabled, IVS is completely dead. No detections, no e-mails. This is by far the crappiest Dahua product I ever had in my hands. Pardon my French.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    I had domes from Dahua before (5xxx, 8xxx), and never ran into this to this extent. The bottom half of the image is practically white, with some foggy dots which are the LEDs. Going for external IR now, and I hope the IR of the cams stays off for good (had some trouble with disabling it for both...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    This thing is ridiculously bad when it comes to IR reflections. Unless the heads are adjusted pretty much at 90 deg, the "boobs" reflect the IR leds in a way that make the whole thing close to useless at night. And I am not even talking about extreme angles, it's 60-ish deg in my case.

    IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M

    IVS can only be active for ch 1 or ch 2, but not both simultaneously. On the Smart Plan page there are radio buttons, not check marks. BL settings seems to affect both channels.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Took a quick look: No apparent change. Neither backlight mode for channel 2, nor simultaneous IVS. For the latter I don't think there will be a fix, as the CPU of this thingy is probably to slow to analyze two frames at the same time. However, why backlight compensation isn't separately...

    SmartPSS Mac: Fisheye Zoom

    Hi, the Windows version of SmartPSS can zoom the fisheye's dewarped "subimages" (IIRC by mouse wheel), but I haven't found a way to do this on the Mac version. Is this supported, and if yes, how? Thanks Tomas

    202107 Latest New Version DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Nova_Eng_P/N_Stream3--IPC-HFW8232E-Z/ZE

    Hi Andy, any specific reason for excluding the HDBW8331E-Z in the list of supported models of this firmwares? If the HFW8331E-Z is supported one would assume that the dome version is, too.. (I tried it and it says the file is incompatible. The previous fw I uploaded had "eos" in its name and...
