    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Not sure about the licensing aspect of it but not too worried. I have a ton of licenses which are unused. As far the profile goes, agreed, it might work but only to one lens, but that defeats the purpose of getting this camera in that case haha

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Gotcha. Thanks. I also looked into the Synology compatibility for this cam and looks like it is not listed as compatible. The HDBW4231F-AS is listed, but not the F-E2-M

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Are both cams able to be adjusted? I just want to know if I can attach it at the tip of the soffet to point to the back yard and side yard at the same time.

    New firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea NTSC and PAL 20180330

    Great. My camera itself does not have the logo but the mount that the camera sits on, does. The webUI shows IPCamera, without the Dahua logo. My version apparently is a PAL version but I just downloaded the NTSC version of the firmware and installed it and appears to be working. But, when I...

    New firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea NTSC and PAL 20180330

    What does it mean by non-logo? I have one ZE cam which has the logo on the metal mount, is that what you mean?

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Used to have a similar set up with a Hikvision 2032. We were on the second floor overlooking the parking lot of an old building and I installed it on side of the window frame pointing out with IR off and it did the job for peace of mind. I did install a 25mm lens in there to get a nice closeup...

    Check out this one. I am debating about ordering one for a friend of mine who is looking for one as well. I have a ubiquiti but those are higher in price. https://www.walmart.com/ip/NETGEAR-GS724TPv2-switch-24-ports-smart-rack-mountable/932273281

    This comment now has me worried because I am unsure if I will be adding an additional IR illuminator to the set up

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    That is a POE Injector, not a splitter.

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    POE Splitter? Never heard of that. I can just run an additional POE wire, that wouldnt be a problem since I essentially have 48 ports on my POE switch. But how would I plug the IR to the POE?

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Thanks. Any clever way of power these via the cam or PoE somehow? My cam will be hanging off the soffit of my house in the back yard. the yard is about 80ft wide and 50 deep from the house, so total of 4000sqft from the end of the house. I am guessing the 80ft IR would be fine for me, but since...

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Any recommendations for a good IR cannon? I know that the other popular guy that reviews these cams, has a good IR cannon mounted on just junction box, but never found what kind it was.

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    But other than the look of the camera, performance wise, which one would be better? and not really sure on whats the difference between the two with the exception of the outer shell (black vs not)

    ANNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)

    At least I am not alone. Any idea of how to fix it and stay at highest quality? My cams record 24/7 so it is super annoying that it pulsates the way it does. I feel like it is a defective camera. My official HIK cube does not do this.

    has anyone else noticed that the live view of this cam pulsates every second? or is it just me?

    Hello All, I have a Synology DSM which is how I view all my Hikvision cams. I am going to be getting a few more cams and am on the fence about purchasing more licenses compared to just purchasing Blue Iris and run a VM on the Synology DSM and just record to the NAS since the VM will be on at...

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Oh so 5231 doesnt work with Synology/Qnap? I thought that all dahua and hikvisions work... I guess worst case I can maybe try to set up a shared folder on the NAS and have BI run on a VM and record to the NAS that way...but I'd prefer the Synolog/Qnap route :( Do you or anyone else have a photo...
