    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE stopped working

    Update: I took the camera down. Undid the water tight protector on the network cable and everything looks fine. All connectors are clean. Doesn't look like there was any short. I let it sit unplugged for a day and put it back up but still no signal. Does anyone think it's worth it to take the...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE stopped working

    Hello All, I had someone pressure clean my house and 1 of my Dahua HDW5231R-ZE's stopped working. It's installed on an eaves. I'm assuming it got wet? On my POE switch I see the POE light blinking, so I think it's getting power, but I'm not getting any network connectivity. Camera cannot be...

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    Noob question, What is the appropriate source to download Firmware upgrades? I have two cameras, and I have never updated the Firmware. XC-2342WDI - V5.3.3 build 150630 DS-2CD2332-I - V5.3.0 build 150513 I assume both are horribly dated in regards to firmware. Also to the best of knowledge...

    Exposing Cameras to Internet

    I know it's been recommend to NOT open/forward the HTTP and RTSP port to the internet to view the cameras remotely, over the internet, for security reasons. I was wondering if there was also a security risk when opening only the Server Port (Default is 8000) to the internet and using the...
