    How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

    Upgrading most of the cameras to the newer firmware will remove the need for the gymnastics of plugins

    DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream2_V2.800.0000004.0.R.190122

    FYI, I upgraded by 2231 and seems to be working. No plugin required for video.

    New Setup Question

    You should also get micro-sd cards for the camera. If the NVR gets knocked out, it will still be recorded on the camera and vice versa. Plenty of threads here on what is a good quality card.

    New Setup Question

    1. there are several apps that will work on android 2. No, it won't work that way. 8 = 8. Get the dahua 5216-16-4ks2 version (non P) and get a POE switch. The 5216 has much more horsepower than the 4216. For your budget, look at the 2231. few less options than the 5231, but a solid camera.

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

    What are your other cameras? What are their bitrates, encoding, etc.? Unless everything is the same, you can't make a comparison.

    Review-Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS2 NVR

    Depends on your network setup what you can see or not see. The easiest solution is to use SmartPSS to connect to the DVR, and then you can see all the cameras connected.

    Chinese camera activated cloud storage, now I can't use my uSD card

    Holy crap. If you are upgrading your wireless router just for OpenVPN, there are way cheaper options. Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X or even a rPi with it installed. If your wireless stinks, get something new, but I've switched to a separate router and "lite commercial" access points and haven't looked...

    IPC-HFW4431R-Z Firmware

    I believe that this will have "hacked" firmware on it probably wouldn't be a good idea to upgrade the firmware.

    Dahua indoor varifocal with mic

    Try this one: HDBW4231F I believe the price point is below the 5231 and it is much smaller/cleaner looking.

    Need suggestion for front door

    Really?!? Hoody (no hat or face covering) and a bat or can of spray paint on a 6' expandable rod and it doesn't matter if it is mounted 6' or 9', I can defeat the camera and not be captured. If you had a camera system, you would know this. So what if they "destroy" the camera, there is an SD...

    Need suggestion for front door

    Check this thread out. Very clean install, proper height to get face shots instead of top of heads, plus it is very similar to your setup. Front door ID camera IPC-HDBW4231F?

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

    Simple test is to unplug 2 other cameras (this is really camera 6 & 7) and see what your results are.

    Starlight PTZ under eaves and motion flood light conflict

    I second what @awsum140 said. If you don't need audio, put two 2231's up instead. If you want audio, 5231 is where you will be.

    Dahua IP intercom: VTO3211D-P2 (new P & P4 ) door station - experience, review, firmware support?

    Google Translate and my really old remembering of Italian. (I added the link to Fritz!box) Hello everybody. I've managed to connect the VTO3211D to the Fritz!box 7530 using the sip firmware V3.200.0012001.0.R on Dahua. Warning, once you install this firmware, it is no longer possible to change...

    Is IPC-HDW52 still the preferred turret?

    yes, or 2231 if you can live without a mic and a few other non-issue features. Search for the 2231 review for more info.
