    Dahua IPC-HFW4300S keeps fogging up! Any Suggestions?

    I checked that...and no there's no moisture seeping in from the cable. The camera is located under the roof overhang so it's not directly exposed to the elements. I am starting to think that the culprit could be the pack of "desiccants" that I think is located behind the lens housing. I've read...

    Dahua IPC-HFW4300S keeps fogging up! Any Suggestions?

    Hi Vector18, thanks for the response. Yeah, it's physical fog/condensation inside the lens cover. I know what you are referring to as I've had other cameras have that problem. But this is something different that I've not seen with any of my other cameras. If I open up the lens cover, I can use...

    Dahua IPC-HFW4300S keeps fogging up! Any Suggestions?

    Hello folks...as always, looking to this great group of people for some sage advice. I have purchased and installed seven of these Dahua HFW4300S cameras and have had pretty good luck with all of them. Until today! I just installed another one and the lens keeps fogging up from the inside. It's...

    Blue Iris and HikVision NVR Box - Can Blue Iris display video feed?

    Hey Mike...thanks for chiming in! I've been testing this setup with Ryan at Nelly's security, and so far is seems to be what I was looking for. We are still trying to ensure that I can get PTZ controls to pass through to the camera, but if that works then I will proceed with this new setup...

    Blue Iris and HikVision NVR Box - Can Blue Iris display video feed?

    Many thanks Fenderman.... Per your note, are you saying that these boxes use more bandwidth than a PC? I'm not planning to have a data cap at this location, so just want to be sure I understand. And yes...you're right, I could do the PC route and have it autocycle....but I feel like PC's have...

    Blue Iris and HikVision NVR Box - Can Blue Iris display video feed?

    Hi Guys...thanks so much to all the regular posters here (especially Fenderman)!!! I think I know the answer, but here goes: I need to setup video surveillance at a second home, one where we will only be at a couple of times per year. So my thinking was, I'd rather not go the PC route and...

    Blury HFW-4300S Any suggestions?

    That's a good question! Partly because I'm a glutton for punishment (would be so much easier just to do as you suggest), but also because I really wanted to make it serviceable afterwards and I was worried that if I just sprayed over the places where it unscrewed that I would not be able to open...

    Blury HFW-4300S Any suggestions?

    Many thanks for the follow up! I will try that tonight....looks easy, and the ironic thing is, I've taken all of my camera's apart so I could spray-paint the housings a dark brown! Why they insist on making these things BRIGHT-WHITE I just don't know. Of course in doing so...I may have...

    Blury HFW-4300S Any suggestions?

    Hey guys...just chiming in on this thread as I too would like to solve this. I own about 8 of these (HFW4300s) and they are really nice. But I have the same issue as posted here. I opened up one of the cameras by unscrewing the front lens cap. The lens is clearly meant to be adjustable, but it...
