Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
Edit: Was re-reading (again) the OP initial post and found this. Is this correct or another vendor? Sorry to side-track; what is Andy's store name? I tried the camera name and "EMPIRETECANDY" on AliExpress with no success. Again sorry for the n00b question here. -

PoE Power Failover (Diode Bridge)
In a dual-supply setup, no, unless you had some sort of monitoring setup (thinking DIY setup like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc). In a single-supply setup, yes, because your cameras would be offline. ;)- Jmtyra

PoE Power Failover (Diode Bridge)
Yea I guess my mind is in the enterprise datacenter space, where *everything* is redundant. And expensive. And loud. ;) Although my server (running the NVR) does have a redundant PSU! :D But my switch doesn't. Boo!- Jmtyra

Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
It's very interesting that the picture is brighter with the IR off. I suppose the camera tries to compensate for no IR somehow? -

Thanks for posting the sample pictures and video. :) This combined with nayr's content really helps to see how the camera performs in different situations. -

EDIT: Adding quote for relevance. Couldn't agree with you more; relying on a manufacturer alone to keep a device secure isn't wise. That's why I'm isolating my camera network traffic from my other networks. :) That said, some IoT manufactures do release firmware with security fixes included... -
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
Great! Thank you nayr! :) There seem to be multiple security exploits lately for IoT devices so it's nice to have the option to update the firmware just in case. Not a replacement for healthy security practices of course, but a nice option for the paranoid like myself. :D -

@nayr what NVR software or hardware are you using with that camera? I'm testing Sighthound with a different Dahua camera but it'll only connect to the sub stream not the main stream. Sorry I realize this is somewhat off topic. But I want to make sure this will work before investing in multiple... -
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
Reading (lurking) through this entire thread, and I think I'll be returning my newly purchased 4MP Dahua (IPC-HDBW4431R-AS) for this 2MP one. So weird to say that...sounds like I'm taking a step backward...but you can't argue with the comparison footage that @nayr posted. The night time clarity...
