    missing frames when streaming on gDMSS

    I'm currently using 2 old phones as in-home monitors for my dahua system. The phones are a Samsung Galaxy S5 and a S7. Their sole function is to stream anywhere between 1 and 4 cameras at a time using P2P (P4P?) using gDMSS lite. Very regularly I notice lag and missing frames. I know my...

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    I'm thinking about ordering 2 of these for the kids room; then, in a year or two, move them to the front door when they arent needed inside. But i'm a bit confused by what @Tygunn was saying about the picture being distorted in the web gui and on gdmss lite. Is this only in coridoor mode or in...

    NVR emails functioning, camera emails are not

    As the title said, i easily setup events to be emailed to me via the NVR. Id like my cameras to do this instead (5231s), and i filled out the fields exactley the same, however, I get failed email tests. Anyone have any guidance?

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z - Pinout SOLVED, yet not....

    First let me preface this by saying im thoroughly impressed by the knowledge of this forum, and by the Dahua cameras and NVR I recently received from Andy. Unfortunately, I trashed the female connector on my 5231 while trying to hurry and install it before a storm. Undeterred, I sought to...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z network cable wiring.

    I cant see this image. What did you get to work? I have the same problem; trashed the female end of my 5231r-z and need to re-wire it. Thanks!

    HELP: Connecting an NVR to a wireless hotspot

    Satelite internet is available, however, its expensive. I usually run through nearly 1tb a month and a 50gig plan is $100+ a month for satelite. A neighbor has Wi Power (i think its a wisp?) but it required him to install a 30 foot freestanding tower and some antennas. Perhaps later this...

    HELP: Connecting an NVR to a wireless hotspot

    I've been research for weeks and am struggling to find a solution. Note, I am somewhat IT "challenged" and have little to no experience with routers, bridges, etc. I am provided, by my employer, an unlimited data Sprint hot spot. This is the only internet option for my rural house. I am in...

    Where should I place my Dahua IP-cams?

    I had a house built last year; I bought 1250ft of Cat6 and just ran it myself everywhere I thought i'd ever want a camera, ethernet connection, or TV and even ran (if I had extra) redundancy's in-case one wire failed. I'm not sure how your home builder is, but running this stuff is easy and...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Smart IR is on. Its functioning, because when you get about 5 feet away from the cam you can see it adjusting to lower levels. Picture - Factory Settings Exposure - Factory Settinga Backlight - Off WB - Auto iR Light - SmartIR

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Thanks! Thats interesting, I was under the impression that NVRs would require an injector for PTZ cams and additional IR.... but apparently not!

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I recently purchased the 5208-8p-4KS2. It states the internal PoE switch is "IEEE802.3af/at." Can anyone clarify which it is?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Can someone help with with the IR and/or other night setting with this cam? I just received 4 of them (from Andy, super fast/easy) and setup one temporarily outside. Daytime everything looks great, but at night the IR completely washes out any persons between 50 and 5 feet from the camera...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    This helps a lot. Thanks you for taking the time to do/type this. For me, that alone makes it worth purchasing this camera. Its on my list of things to get, after I get my 5321s installed.

    Anyone use STP ethernet for IP Cams/NVRs?

    Thanks! And yes, if someone had recommendations for shielded RJ45s and keystone jacks i'm all ears. I purchased some cheap-o ones from Amazon and couldnt get the damn jacket inside the RJ45

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Sorry, i've read many of the pages here but did not see a few answers to my questions: Does this cam support IVS? From my theoretical mounting spot, car license plates would be at 225 feet. Would this cam, set with IVS or other alarm, be able to accurately zoom in and grab plates day/night at...

    Anyone use STP ethernet for IP Cams/NVRs?

    Thanks for the advice. I'm assuming I could hook it all up and, assuming I have some interference, I could always connect the ground later and see if that resolves any issue? Thanks. I wasnt sure if you started with STP, you had to continue it through the entire length from device to device...

    Anyone use STP ethernet for IP Cams/NVRs?

    I know just enough to be dangerous and, well, I've got myself into a pickle here. I ran approximately 1000ft of Cat6 CMR STP in my new construction home and about 250ft of Cat5e CMR UTP. All ends go to a "technical room" and the other ends go to various other rooms and areas of the house where...

    Dahua NVR/Internet/PoE switch confusion

    Assuming I have the correct NVR selected, Im going to purchase my system from Andy in the next 48 hours. I'm going to purchase (4) DahuaIPC-HDW5231R-Z; next year i'll add (1) SD59230-HNI and, at most, 1 more cam for a max total of 6 (I pre-wired my house with Cat6). I've selected the Dahua...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Good point. I was considering using a cam like this high up on my 2nd story to cover my larger 2 acre front yard. If there were 2 targets in different parts of the yard, it obviously would only focus on one using auto-track. Where I live is somewhat secluded so i'd like to, specifically...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Thanks. I do have an older computer I no longer use. Perhaps i'll investigate upgrading the OS, ram, and HD and just using that! I have a few weeks before I need to start this project.... Anyway, back to the topic at hand: Can you run multiple trip wires? For example, using...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Forgive me, my only experience with cameras is some wifi cams i HAD with ADT. I do not like purchasing something that limits me in the future (which is why, for my camera project, I just ran 1300ft of cat6 STP CMR in my house as opposed to cat5e UTP). As it sounds, if i have a pro-series...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Do you need Blue Iris to effectively run one of these intelligent PTZs? Im getting ready to purchase an NVR, but I dont want to limit myself if I cannot effectively use one of these cams in the future.

    Recommendation for interior cam

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I think I am going to try two of the APC-A35s (next month when the kids come home). If im not happy with them im going to order the Mini black face PTZs

    Recommendation for interior cam

    Well, these are my first kids so im not sure if i need 2 way audio or only a microphone yet! Part of me thinks a speaker would be sufficient, but another part of me likes to have options and therefore 2 way audio would be nice. Seems wanting 2 way audio there are limited options. I dont want...

    Recommendation for interior cam

    Well, my wife just gave birth to twins so I wonder if ONE mini-ptz could do the trick and be able to monitor both cribs? Maybe I should have started a separate thread about an ext cam with long range IR.

    Recommendation for interior cam

    Thanks for your recommendation. For an exterior camera, what would you recommend for a larger piece of property? I have 3+ acres, and I have 2 roads between 180 and 250 feet from my house. I've noticed many cameras only have a 30m IR range.
