Mini Dome Wedge not switching to color mode when lights are on
@Philip Gonzales I think the biggest issue is the sensitivity setting. If you do not figure it out, i can play with mine this evening, but I think @BillG has it right by moving to "Low". I personally leave mine in color mode 24/7 with IR off. You have plenty of light to stay in Color mode... -
Mini Dome/Wedge Wiring Question
there is not enough space. This is a sore point with me on almost all of the cameras where 3/8" more base depth would allow it to be hidden within. You will need at least 3/4" x about 2x2 more space. -
received my 2 IPC-HFW8232E-Z cams from Andy
@sunny0101786 , The data sheet is your friend, and within that is the H and V FOV. use these numbers to determine what will be in view. Using Mp or even mm of lens will not get you to where you want to be. I am not sure why you want a wider view than you have, as it seems good to me. If you... -
Dahua IP camera recommendation?
@Lu-Max -20 tilt is 20 deg up tilt from horizontal to 90 deg down (straight down). @fenderman , if he needs less than a 10 deg FOV, i don't think turret will get him there. A Z12 bullet will get it done for less than a PTZ, however I suspect that @Lu-Max doesn't need either one and can get much... -
Dahua 8mp NON-Starlight HDW5830R-Z review
I would start with the best ID shot of at least a person walking one way for your first camera, and have have an overview as the last camera so you can see what someone is doing (not ID them). more zoom, lower and angled more head on, like at the tree behind the one next to the person, or just... -
Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 fast playback help
I am still struggling with speeding up recordings through smartPSS. There must be a way to actually get recordings to zoom along on the display like every other type of recorder that i ahve ever used. Is this just buggy software, or is it that i am totally not doing something right? When i go...- bug99

Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE review
@Crazykiller Thanks for the review. They seem more similar than different (except for the last image). One of the biggest negatives with varifocal cameras is that they seem to balance the focus point, and close objects are larger and therefore get an unwanted heavier weight (like a bush). I... -
Any one can help me setting my 5831 at night
No. I am referring to shutter speed. If you select manual under exposure, you will be playing with shutter speed and gain. Trial and error. Faster shutter is darker, needing more gain, making it grainy with noise, but less motion blur per frame. the more light (either full band for color... -
Any one can help me setting my 5831 at night
It looks like a pretty good image to me. what you are missing is an ID shot. you need another camera aimed at the face if you want to ID the person, and a third camera with 10x the zoom if you want to ID the guy across the street (but don't hold your breath on that one). Many people here... -
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5)
nice setup. @Go3Team , i only see one camera (on our left), ad two IR blasters, unless i am misreading the image objects. -
Dahua 8mp NON-Starlight HDW5830R-Z review
@Dave88LX , you still need enough pixels on target to read / identify the image. At some distance and enough light level the higher pixel count is going to win. that is the interpretation, as you can not make out the plate in daylight at 2MP (just barely). The 8MP effectively give you 2x the... -
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5)
Yes, but it is much better zoom, covering more distance and also more in close like the Z. Use the FOV range to get a good feel for the real zoom. The Z5 sort of leaves a bit to be desired at the wide angle end in my pinion for good universal use. 97°~34°(Z) 35°~12°(Z5) 59°~5°(Z12)... -
Dahua IPC-HDW5831R-ZE
it seems like the 8Mp is a tiny bit out of focus. It could be the amount of light, but with 100W LED (~10,000 lumens) there should be enough to go around, as it appears to be. Try turning auto off and on and see if it gets better. It might just be the car to the right messing with the focus a... -
2.8mm vs 3.6mm, which do you prefer for a fixed-lens?
I agree with the points made above. Every situation is different and there is no one best for most situations. @aristobrat that is a very good placement of the 2.8mm at the front door. That all being said, personally, i am fond of the 3.6mm (87 deg FOV) lens, especially indoors. I like the... -
SD Card write lifetime?
residential grade SSD that we buy fall in the range of 1 write per day for from 1-3 years (depending on quality, which is hard to ascertain). for a drive size and data rate that lasts 3 days this equates to from three years to 9 years of writing MTBF, failing exponentially at the end of life... -
Dahua 8mp NON-Starlight HDW5830R-Z review
Lots of pictures are good. These are very useful. My first take on normalizing the images is: The middle image is about what the left camera would be at that same zoom level, with the Zoom difference appear to be ~3x ppf The first image set shows that 3x the ppf is better than 2x of the 8Mp... -
Dahua 8mp NON-Starlight HDW5830R-Z review
@happf nice post. useful data. it would be nice to know the ~lumens where it drops to worse than the 2mp. Do you have a meter that you can use? Can you compare the data rate (H265) during day and night? -
Dahua 8MP IPC-HDBW5831E-Z5E vs. 2MP IPC-HDBW5231E-Z5E
i would opt for the 8mp as well. why not chose the non-dome version IPC-HDW5830R-Z5 (bullet)? -
Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage
I think one big deal is the stuff to the left and down (fence etc). it is defining the focus for the frame. for ID, you are going to need 2x the pixels per foot. zooming in 2x will get rid of a lot of the fence so two birds one stone. Angling right should get rid of the rest. I think you... -
Blue Iris compatible doorbell/intercom/2 way audio
@Jessy , adding a bit more to @Nathan points: agree that two way audio needs to work well, with decent MIC and speaker. IT also needs to have app level control over volume and disable. agree that appearance could be nicer, but don't sweat that for now. just get the features to work well... -
Blue Iris compatible doorbell/intercom/2 way audio
There is something sketchy about that dbell company. I send a detailed email to them several weeks back. They were a spin off from Kickstarter, but neither my original nor my follow up emails got a response. They were associated with some company called "wirelessinput", but i see nothing... -
Blue Iris compatible doorbell/intercom/2 way audio
I think the residential doorbell intercom/camera market is exploding right now. there is a big hole in what is available and what technology that is economical can deliver in the volumes that the residential market will draw. I like what i see from @Jessy Beward info thus far. I suspect that... -
Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 fast playback help
shouldn't fast forward drop frames vs they to send them all along? i would think 16x would send one frame in 16 with ~the same bit rate, and allow much higher numbers like 128x. SmartPSS does not seem to display more than one camera at a time from the NVR. it looks like it is trying, but all...- bug99

Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 fast playback help
I use 10fps as well. @tigerwillow1 , are you getting more than 10mbps? I went into the office to try it there (vs VPN). I am having a harder time on the LAN with my win10 Bootcamp MacBPro. If i use Chrome, i get no video. If i use the latest IE, the display window is frozen inside the UI...- bug99

Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 fast playback help
This is probably a dumb question, but i just stated messing with the Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 that i put in our small office. How do i review the video remotely in high speed? I can use the web interface, and i discovered that I can add it a device in SpartPSS 2, where it shows up as a device type...- bug99

IPC-HDBW4231F-AS POE not working?
There is a good chance the 24V Ubiquity supply might have damaged the DC-DC converter in the camera, the parts that take the 48vdc on the POE line and break out 12Vdc for the camera. -
pixels and bit rate
I am confused about what is happening to the pixels and bit rate when i display live feeds. If i run something like SmartPSS on my computer (ex main stream) from one camera full screen on a 1080P monitor, i see a bit rate (ex 1900 kbps) and a resolution of 1080P. when i reduce it to 1/4...- bug99

Starlight Mp limitations
The available light per unit time (ex 1/30 second) is divided between the pixels, as @fenderman is pointing out and is in many threads. I think the term "Starlight" is a marketing term from Dahua which they attach to some of the newer models that use Sony Starvis sensors and have achieved... -
2MP HD Recessed Mount Dome Camera IPC-HDB4231G-AS
Attached is a pdf that reflects a universal hole pattern for a thin steel plate with threaded inserts (optional) for all of the dome like cameras that are of interest to me (HDBW4231F-AS, HDBW5231E-Z5, HDW5231R-Z, HDBW5830R-ZHDW4231EM-AS). Something like that will allow easy rugged installs up... -
2MP HD Recessed Mount Dome Camera IPC-HDB4231G-AS
Looks like and interesting mount form factor to the IPC-HDBW4231F-AS mini wedge, but for drop ceilings. Actually, i have been wanting to ask if there is a mounting ring that i can buy for the IPC-HDBW4231F-AS (or any other) that lines up with the mounting holes with machine screws for a drop...
