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

    @EMPIRETECANDY On my 5216-16P, both cameras show. I can't figure out how to get them to both show in SmartPSS tho (wish I could)

    I want the best Dahua

    You can always run 3/4" ENT (non-metallic tubing) to each location. For electrical it is typically blue or orange and flexible. Comes in big rolls. Then you can pull cables/replace/add cables later. A bit more upfront cost, but very future proof. If you have an attic, install and 2 empty 2"...

    OpenALPR and Dahua camera Stream Settings

    I'm playing with my standard 5231 and it reads the mainstream just fine (H.265) at FPS/Iframe at 30, bitrate at 2048 @ 1920x1080. Wondering if I should be using a different settings via substream 1 (H.264) or 2 (mjpg)? Thanks

    OpenALPR - A How-To on Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop

    Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to install this headless on OrangePiPC with a few modifications. I don't have a dedicated camera, but it did a pretty decent job in the driveway with my 5231

    Changed password on my NVR now my cameras are bricked!

    Reboot the cameras (which may require you to open them up and push the button), which if you forgot the password, you will need to do anyways. Then start over.

    Cannot Change IP Address On Dahua IPC-HFW8232EP-Z

    Your router should handle doing this, if it doesn't get something else. 1. Go into your router settings, there will be a section somewhere to assign a static IP via MAC address. 2. Put the MAC address and the IP you want 3. Reboot the camera, and if your router is worth anything, it will...

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    If you are seeing the camera in the NVR, try flipping it something other than 180 degrees and clicking apply. If that doesn't work, plug your laptop (be sure the network card isn't set for a static IP) into the back of the NVR. Then with an old version of IE (11) or PaleMoon Browser, enter the...

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    Forget the ConfigTool for now as it won't look past the NVR via the internet port (it will work if you are on the NVR switch side via a laptop). Here is the download link for future reference. a) what model number NVR do you have? If it doesn't have a P in the model number, it's not PoE, and it...

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    I should add, ConfigTool won't find it if it is plugged into a NVR. I edited my post above for future clarity.

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    a) is the camera initialized properly? Easy way is via ConfigTool. (ConfigTool won't work if the camera is plugged into a NVR and you can't access the camera web page without going through the NVR webpage first) b) if it is plugged into a NVR, it will more than likely take the NVR admin password...

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

    @looney2ns, curious how you are using SmartPSS. I have a NVR5216 that I set the default group to the NVR IP and then all cameras will display on the 2x2 correctly, but on the 3x3, this camera won't show. I'm wondering if I should drop the NVR from default group and add each camera individually...

    Dahua vs Ubiquiti IR mode - Ubiquiti does not like LED light

    The top image you posted, the camera is in color mode (thus the colors). The bottom picture is in Black and White (thus the gray scales). Put the Ubiquiti in B/W mode or force the 5231 into color mode to compare.

    One camera is in color, the other in B/W. Not sure if that is a fair comparison.

    Viewing two Dahua cameras

    Unless you are using an old version of Chrome, it won't work. I am IE11 and I had 4 tabs all with live view going. Another thing to try is opening a Private Browsing tab.

    Viewing two Dahua cameras

    I just dealt with this issue. Here are some instructions, but I had to do things slightly different. 1. I did not have the Uninstall in the add/remove programs. Go to both your \program files & \program files (x86). Drill into each of the subfolders of \webrec and there should be an uninstall...

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    First off, this 5231 camera always seemed a bit odd, but it was working, so I put up with some weird reboots along the way. I decided to UG the firmware to get the day/night functionality and the UG seemed to go ok, but it would run for 5 minutes and then reboot. I then attempted to downgrade...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    @EMPIRETECANDY, it appears the new plugin breaks the ability to access the camera from the NVR setup web page. When you clicked on the "e" icon before, it would route you to the NVR ip with a port number, now it just links to the camera IP set by the NVR. before: 192.168.1.199:10800 now...
