Web interface issues cont'd...
I previously got some great advice from this thread: Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage about how to access the web interface on my DH-IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 bullet cam, but have now run into a whole heap of problems, so am starting a new thread on that in consideration for the OP. In brief... -

Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage
Aristobrat, you're a star! :goodpost: I plugged my laptop directly into the NVR as you suggested, fired up ConfigTool, and BAM....there was the IP Camera listed! Suddenly, the scales have dropped from my eyes and a whole lot of stuff now starts to make more sense. Now I can see all those... -

Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage
Hi, yes I did wonder about that too, and did some research into H265, so was expecting little or no observable difference, except possibly slightly better than H.264. But when I did a quick livestream visual comparison on a nearby stationary vehicle's number plate at night with 'colorful' mode... -

That's most helpful. Not quite such good value here in the UK (as always!), but a good investment nonetheless, as you say. Many thanks for the tip. N. -

Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage
I only have the one camera just now, as it is my first professional level cctv system and wanted to learn the ropes first. As I needed the decent optical zoom, I got the Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Starlight. I will explorer the cameras internal settings after I return from an 8 day trip abroad... -

Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage
Hi bigredfish, many thanks for posting all this. Very helpful! Ah yes, I didn't realise until after I had installed the camera on the wall that you can't gain access to the camera software when it's hooked up to the NVR. However, it's fairly readily accessible so will just have to demount it... -

Auto Logout issue
Hi there cctv wizards! Could anyone help explain to me why my Web Service browser plug-in software times out, even though I have set the Auto Logout interval in the Setup/General page to 0 mins? I like to keep the live preview running sometimes for several hours, but it times out after a... -

Help improve my 2 MP starlight footage
What do you guys mean by "shutter speed"? Can only find Frame Rate(FPS) or Bit Rate in the Web Settings for my NVR, which incidentally, is the same model as the OPs (NVR4108-4KS2). Also, in my Image Setup section, the only reference to DNR (Dynamic Noise Reduction?) for my starlight... -

Ipc HFW5231E-z5
Just had my first 24 hours of problem free recording! A bit soon to be 100%, but it does look like the camera doesn't like having it's backlight compensation levels (BLC) fiddled around with in adverse lighting conditions when set in 'Colorful' mode. So, the moral of my story is that I should... -

Ipc HFW5231E-z5
UPDATE: Curt, I haven't had another white-out issue, although I'm faced with another problem which has become apparent over the last 2 evenings. Whenever I change the BLC Mode (Setup/Image) during the very late hours (2230 - 2300hrs approx as we are in Summer with late evening daylight hours... -

Ipc HFW5231E-z5
Hi there Curt, and thanks so much for kindly replying. I also have a Dahua NVR, but I think you must have a direct hookup to the NVR hardware itself as I don't recognise some of the settings labels you have quoted. However, you provided me with enough info to be able to find the relevant... -

Ipc HFW5231E-z5
Hi Hi @Curt. I'm having exactly the same issue as yours. But would you please explain what you mean by "moving the decode buffer" please, as I can't seem to find a setting like that in Device Config? I am using SmartPSS and Easy Viewer. Would really appreciate your help on this as I am about... -

Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)
@beingaware I don't wish to be a pest, but any chance you could let me know which software you were using in your video to zoom in/out on the Z12? Cheers Nigel -

Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)
Hi there, and g'day! Many thanks for posting these videos, which I found extremely helpful when trying to choose my first serious CCTV system. I took delivery of my Z12 yesterday (thank you Empiretecandy) and am currently trying to fathom out the software apps, which is proving a bit of a chore...
