    Ok, looks like version 4.0.0 is what came on the mini CD with the camera. I did find that 4.0.5 is now available. Will load it up and test it a little later. this sounds like a small upgrade, hope it will find the two cameras I have. Thanks for the suggestion fenderman.

    Just bought a couple of the Dahua starlight cameras. I tried to use their tools that come on one of those mini CD Disk. I had no luck finding either of my cameras. Yes I did change the IP search range in settings from the default 172.xxx.xxx.xxx. My cameras are xxx.xxx.xxx.211 and 212. I set up...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Been doing electronics for over 40 years. Seems that the new generations have found new ways to say what I was doing years ago. This causes confusion. I was seeing cameras that run on 12 volts and POE switches with 48v supplies. What caught my eye is that the POE spec of xxx.x(3af) related to...

    Could someone explain why it does not matter PAL vs NTSC?

    Mat200 and Kawboy12R Thank you both for taking a minute to answer my question. Feeling better now that I have heard from you both about an order I made for an IPC-HFW4231E-SE. Yes Mat there is a lot of info to be digested here on this site. I wish I had found it before I bought my first camera...

    Could someone explain why it does not matter PAL vs NTSC?

    First forgive me if I have the order mixed up (NTSC). I have heard a few here say that it does not matter on a Network Camera if it is PAL or NTSC format. And I can just almost get my brain to understand. Maybe its cause I am an old man and have always known that a PAL camera would not work on...

    connection lost when IR on

    I just recently seen some people having trouble with CCA CAT cable. CCA is Copper Clad Aluminum which has a higher resistance per given distance. This might be what is causing your I/R drop (or voltage drop when the IR LEDs come on). As other have suggested, test this on a short patch cord with...

    Hi Andy781, Well my work around was to use an older HP laptop that we still had around after an upgrade. I turned off all of the upgrade options, thus preventing it from getting the latest version of IE or Firefox. Loaded the software and then typed in the IP address. The web server loaded and...

    Hi Andy, I notice that if not all, most of your cameras are PAL. So, I am scared to pull the trigger and buy one of your cameras that there might not be any firmware to convert to NTSC. I understand that you give discounts to ipcamtalk members, how do I apply for this discount? . Thanks Paulx

    Ok made my first newb mistake and got a Foscam. I am trying to get to the web server on the camera to load up on the laptop. The finder program loads the camera info and what IP and port that has been loaded. When I type this in to my browser I get a log-in GUI. But over the top it says that a...
