    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Not Saving Audio Stream to Local Storage

    What happens if you export the video via the Playback tab of the camera web interface? That's how I export the clips I need here from microSD and audio is fine for me that way. Saying that I did find that if I exported the clip using my Chromebook it's missing the audio but if I export the...

    IPC-HDW4231EM-AS dropping connection randomly

    What firmware version are you running on the camera? All my 5231 cameras showed random complete loss of networking when running the March 2018 firmware and have all been stable since rolling back to November 2017 firmware.

    New Dahua doorbell DHI-DB11

    The WiFi connection seems to be the biggest issue for a lot of people using WiFi doorbells. We're quite lucky in that the builders used CAT 6 in our house from the transformer to the doorbell location. On the flipside of that I'd specced the house (new build) to come with all Cat 6 yet they...

    New Dahua doorbell DHI-DB11

    I've just ordered a Nest Hello here in the UK as they were made available here today. I'm currently on my 6th Ring Pro unit all of which have been nothing but trouble. Either DOA units, transformer issues, connectivity issues or the last one had a focus issue after time where the focus would...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Does the camera show up in the Dahua ConfigTool with a different IP? Which firmware version did you upgrade too? Have you disconnected the power at the switch end (assuming it's easier access and you don't have an injector near the camera)? I saw an issue on the very latest firmware here where...

    Dahua SD6AL830V-HNI

    Wow now that 1/1.7" 4k sensor has fantastic quality. I've just had a read up on the Tehachapi loop too - amazing that it was built 150 years ago - those trains are huge! Where I live in the UK our trains are tiny and like toys in comparison.

    Dahua PTZ with POE+ extender

    I should have realised that :D How about this one - not cheap but will do what you want: Veracity OUTREACH Max XT Ethernet and PoE Extender VOR-ORM-XT

    Dahua PTZ with POE+ extender

    OK, so you're looking at something like the Trendnet TPE-E100 I'm guessing with that going bang in the middle of the cable run? My runs are nowhere near that distance unfortunately but you'd think you should have around enough available for the camera with the above - it's not dark here so I...

    Dahua PTZ with POE+ extender

    I've used the 59225 with the Dahua PFT1200 for 2 months with no issues - I've just literally moved it over to a POE+ switch at the weekend and it's been fine on there so far too. I believe the PFT1200 drops to 3x 8w outputs when extended with the PFT1300. How far do you want to go?

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

    A couple of us have seen issues with the network stack dropping which means the camera is only writing to local storage during that time. I've reverted to the November 17 firmwares on the 3 cameras here to see how they behave on that one again but they were fine so I'm expecting that issue with...

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    Picked up a bargain 48 port Dell Powerconnect 7048P from eBay for $55 which supports 802.3at and it's powering this camera nicely (you have to manually enable high power mode on the ports for cameras like this). The plan is to replace my existing Avaya 5520-48T-PWR with this and that way I can...

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

    Ok I had a 5231R-Z also just drop offline this morning. Again it's written to the microSD for two hours while the network stack dropped. @EMPIRETECANDY it seems there is a bug in this firmware causing the network to drop out - both cameras here also have mocroSD cards fitted and I've seen the...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Is anyone else using 128GB microSD cards in these? A while back I had issues after upgrading the firmware when using a Toshiba Exceria M302 microSD which I eventually solved as what seemed to be a firmware glitch at the time with the November firmware. I'd bought a new 5231-ZE from Andy...

    PTZ Tour Changed presets on its own...

    Silly question but have you rebooted the camera? I had similar where it seemed to get confused and the co-ordinates were all offset, a reboot took it back to the correct home location and then the presets were correct again. I have the co-ordinates displayed all the time now to see if it...

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

    Actually that's weird - I put a 128GB microSD into the ZE and I just checked the footage and although Blue Iris showed the camera as going offline at 18:02 (I confirmed it wasn't pinging from other machines in the house) it carried on writing to microSD without any issues. I'll keep an eye on...

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

    Same here from what I can see and there's a blank backup path and nothing happens on either button. More worrying was I got in from work tonight and the new 5231R-ZE was showing as disconnected in Blue Iris. The IP wasn't responding although the network port was showing as up and using power...

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

    Thanks Andy - I've just upgraded the 5231R-ZE that you sent a couple of weeks ago and again working fine on the new PAL firmware so far :) That one was on 201711 from the factory and again the manual firmware check in the camera menu said it was up to date (maybe that method is saved for...
