    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Log into the camera. Under Camera, select Video, and then the Overlay Tab Adjust at will.

    Shutting of indoor cameras via geo fencing or other?

    I believe @nayr was doing this with an NVR, but he hasn't been around for a bit. I believe he was doing it through scripts/api calls tho.

    Wedge cam settings, when installed around front door

    I think someone was using HLC (or maybe WDR) on this setup. Give that a try. I'm curious to see how the IR works at night with that glass in front of it.

    Depends on if that is $4,000 USD or $4,000 TWD!!!

    Best Low Light cameras- POE-suggestions?

    If you are willing to spend many thousands of dollars (remember, you need to buy a lens as well, so more $$$) for a camera. Stick with what is posted above and you will be fine.

    Dahua DHI-ITC237-PU1B-IR

    Pop on over to the LPR forumfor more information. It's both art and science to get it to work.

    I am experiencing a few problems with my Ubiquiti and Dahua CCTV System

    @CandyMan_ZA, did you ever try swapping CAM5 to a new location to see if the problem went with it?

    Review-Dahua PSDW5631S-B360 panoramic 360 camera.

    I'm thinking this would be good as a general overview in my barn. Will wait and see how the PTZ works with IVS/etc.

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

    It works on my 5216 just fine. Angles are in the PDF linked to the 1st post.

    Improve deployment

    Yes. the 2231 has 1 less sub-stream and some minor processor limitations than the 5231, but I have both installed and you can't tell the difference. If you are trying to cover the trash bin, dedicate a camera to that. Get it zoomed in and tweaked for that purpose and get another camera for the...

    The 2231 and 5231 sensors are essentially the same.

    Sunset Cam Recommendation

    That's more than likely your issue (day/night settings). You may need to use the day/night switch utility that @bp2008 wrote to adjust the time the profiles switch.

    Which camera to use

    If I were you, I'd start by reading the Cliff Notes, then buying either a 2231 or 5231 and get a bucket, a 2x4, and some rocks and testing placement. You can also use the IPVM tool by entering your address and choosing the cameras to test placement (pay attention to the DORI section of the Cliff...

    Which camera to use

    I'll let others respond, but a PTZ won't work for you how you want it to work. As @fenderman always says, Murphy will show up and the PTZ won't be pointing where you need it (and he also asks "are you going to be there aiming it all the time?" You are better off with figuring out how to use...

    Which camera to use

    Best to explain what you are trying to accomplish with the PTZ and what other cameras you have.

    Dahua AI NVR

    It will be interesting to check out the "Perimeter Protection". Currently, I fight with tree shadows and they point out in the flyer that issue is "addressed". Of course, I would need smart cameras (of the turret variety as well)

    email notify

    I too was having email problems. I hadn't update my NVR-5216 firmware to the most recent, but after doing so, my gmail alerts are back working again. This is the only change to my system.

    Best Low Light cameras- POE-suggestions?

    yet the 2231 performs the same as the 5231, without a couple of bells and whistles that some may not need (audio and only 1 substream)

    I have enough space to test out that distance :)

    Sunset Cam Recommendation

    You will never get what you want because these are "Security" cameras, not film cameras. Have you tried scheduling different profiles for different times of the day?

    IPC-HFW4239T-ASE TrueColor - new bullet camera.

    If they are not in the same location, then you aren't comparing the same thing. Each one of my cameras is tweaked differently due to its surroundings.

    Odd question: taking cameras as carry-on. Any issues?

    They are cameras, they are fine. You may need to take them out and run them through separately or they may want to swab them. In my experience, Australia airport security is a lot less strict than the US. Honestly tho, they get shipped all over the world in cardboard boxes with foam, just pack...

    It's warm, but it isn't going to cause anything to burst into flames. I have seen absolutely no performance issues with mine.

    I did check Amazon, and there was one left, but didn't realize they were EOL.
