    Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231RN-Z not working :(

    Great informative post. 80% of the readers would have to be walked through this, 50% after upgrading their hardware. I, and many others can tell you know your shit. Thanks for taking the time to help out the masses. It's appreciated, although most of the user base will have zero idea of...

    Sub streams are what show on the NVR tiled camera display, and also on the DMSS app, but is selectable on the app and Web Service log in. When viewing all 6 cams from outside my network over the internet, I choose the sub streams to view as it can get slow to respond viewing the main streams...

    Up to 6 TB that is. The 5216 max size is 12TB (2x6). I like to figure 1.25 TB per cam for 30 days of recording, but it depends on how much history you are looking for, how much data and how good that data is? Usually, 10 days of history is enough for an incident. The sweet spot in regards to...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Agree with everyone all on all counts. We will persevere. My install was interrupted by my crazy neighbor, for whom these cameras are being installed for. The hard part is done of running the wires through the future tube, in the attic and out the corner mount. How Ironic. He wanted to...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Andy asked me to post this for the benefit of @Frank van der Heide, @Hound Dog 911, and @ljw2k, because he cares and wants to help. Maybe I was too harsh in my earlier statements.....? For starters, I've been running the September, 2016 firmware on three of these with excellent results...

    As above, the PFB203W and the PFA137 work with the HDW5231. You DON'T want to screw them through your siding, as stated above as well. SD

    I have no say in who gets banned. Just my opinion. You are here at Fenderman's, and the rest of the mods pleasure, and I don't think you've crossed any lines. You can speak your mind all you want. I'm a big boy. You will NEVER be happy with the camera. Ask for your money back and choose...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I wouldn't send anything else. It will fall on deaf ears. You are obviously NEVER going to be happy with this camera. Just ask for a refund, like @ljw2k, and get your money back (who still has the camera by the way). You all sound like whiny little bitches. Buy the Yunch, or shell out the...

    Hound Dog, he has previously posted here in this thread a bunch of pages ago. It's Andy.Tenvis SD EDIT: Sorry. May have been in the 5231 thread, but he's stated his Skype an de-mail for all to contact him if necessary. This needs attention one way or another.

    Don't need any congratulations. You obviously didn't read and research the timeframe involved with the 5231's, all the Chinese holidays, the supply being cut back, promises and shortcomings from Dahua. I could go on and on. Ask Andy for your money back and choose another solution if you can't...

    What did you order? 5231"s? You CAN'T get them anywhere else, they are in such high demand and short supply. Please let us all know where they can be had quicker? We are all ears..... I have you all beat. Paid $4300 via Paypal on 3/30/17. 35 days ago. I'm still waiting. Be patient, and...

    A man with your skill set will have no issues finding work. I realize the change is scary, and not at the most opportune time, but I'm an optimist. When one door closes, another opens and you may increase/advance/better your situation. Don't lose your sense of humor..... ;) SD

    Yes sir, as stated above, had 4 on order. Had 2 POE & 2 non POE ordered, and switched to all POE versions, even though we will never use any of them. Handing these off and want the least amount of follow up support. SD

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    @Tygunn, I'm getting frame loss as well on all NVR's when a tripwire is activated. Hopefully this is addressed in an upcoming firmware upgrade. I can live with it right now as it's 1/2 - 1 second, and can be shortened with the I-frame set to the FPS rate. I currently am using double the frame...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    Not stupid at all and here is the reasoning. You are absolutely correct. I am not using any of the POE ports from the NVR. All cams are using secondary power, or an enterprise Hi POE midspan and layer 3 switches. The NVR's are just attached to the home network with the uplink port. I had 4...

    Fence Crash

    Just turned around and took off like a bat out of hell? Took a bit to drift over that far? Two pick up trucks behind them were like it's an everyday occurrence? Almost pulled out in front of the SUV, and fortunately it wasn't 10 seconds later or may have been a head on collision? SD

    Here's my tracking testing, through the window. Hard to be disappointed with these results. Can clearly read plates. Just took video of Smart PSS playback. With H.265, YouTube does not like the output. Installing this weekend outside on corner mounts. SD
