    Do I want waterproof? It looks like the cam design, the way it connects would not be water proof

    Mounting 5231 box or not?

    Yes, I ordered through Andy but we never talked about junction boxes. As I recall there are two models where one is waterproof and one is not. Do you know the model numbers?

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Firmware?

    Where can I fetch the latest dependable firmware for the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE? I’ve had this cam since 2018 and I’m finally ready to mount it and thought it would be wise to update the firmware. Thanks, R

    When mounting a turret style Dahua cam such as the 5231, would you mount direct to the soffit or use a junction box?

    Do you know where the Monoprice UTP Cat6 bulk cable is manufactured? I know that Hubbell and Commscope are all made in the USA!

    What Cat-6 cable do you recommend?

    No benefit to having a premium brand that you might see at a university or large business install? Yes, I knew to avoid CCA, thanks! Much of my other components are Commscope. I'll take a look at the Monprice products, R

    What Cat-6 cable do you recommend?

    I'm about to order some network goodies from Graybar, and I need more network cable. I have a box of 5E that will do gigabit but I wanted all new purchases to be Cat-6 or better. So, is there a certain brand or certain model of UTP Cat-6 cable that you prefer? Yes I will run POE: access points...

    NVR vs BlueIris. Which NVR for Dahua cams or build NVR? Power consumption?

    With the new 5442 models and their SmartAI "human/vehicle" filters, is there any benefit to capability that having the matching NVR allows...? Or, does BI fully take advantage of these camera features?

    Artificial Intelligence & Facial Recognition...

    What non-Chinese cameras or brands would you consider? I’m sure they are not all 5x.

    US-made brand?

    Well, I think we need dramatically reduce our dependence on China and should be voting with our wallet. It’s possible to have manufacturing outside of China at a competitive price. I look forward to having more options as we decouple from China. With the US and Japan and others working to move...

    Using Synology as a VPN server questions

    When I connect to the Synology via my Mac I cannot reach the local LAN without editing the routing table on the client Mac... For those of you that connect to the NAS VPN can you then access all nodes on that remote LAN? What could I be doing wrong? BTW: I'm using L2P/iPSEC because it just...

    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    Yes, and if only there was a place where the Dahua lineup was identified that’s not 2-3 years old and where I don’t have to read 1000 pages and hire a consultant to answer, “what’s new”. From what I can tell from two hours of reading the 5231 is still superior at night that it has no equal. My...

    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    Just more than a year ago I bought a couple of updated 5231 models where everyone seem to rave obout the low light capability and that 1080p was the way to go for these turrets.

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Although I'm typically looking for something newer.... is something like this G1 too old? I understand old can equate to inefficiency for the power at hand. It has PS/2 ports I think.... will a standard Mac USB keyboard work with this box by default? HP EliteDesk 800 G1 i5-4590S @ 3.0 GHz 4...
