    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    Sounds like you did a factory default if the IP changed. You need the config tool to change the IP. Config Tool or plug in the camera directly to a laptop, change your laptop's adapter settings so it matches the new IP of the camera . Then log into the camera and change the IP from the gui.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    @bigredfish You and @tibimakai have similar settings so I'll start with what you have and turn on HLC at 50, and see what happens. Or should I go higher? Will report back when I get some examples. Not a lot of traffic on my street which is good. Oh yeah, gotta have all the angle covered and...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Thanks, I'll try those settings and see how the image looks. Not sure if I need an additional illuminator, at least I would like to avoid adding one. The front of my house already looks crazy as is at night with the IR lights, lol. I also have turrets at the corners next the the LPR cams. Then...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    So I finally mounted my two LPR cams, one Z12 and one Z12E, on the new house. Both were purchased through @EMPIRETECANDY The settings from the original post were great starting points. As a result the daytime shots look great but I feel I can improve on my night captures. Although I would have...

    @bp2008 4.6.4.3 is out I do not have any 4k cameras so I'm not sure if it has addressed some of your concerns. I did noticed a big drop in CPU usage as well when I changed 4 starlight turrets I have to "Limit decoding unless required". And I did not see the cameras going black or see any...

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    I like the look of these better than the hdw5231r-z. Glad I held off buying more of those. I just ordered a few of these even though I won't be needing extended distance it can handle. Curious to see how it compares to the other in my application. Thanks for doing the review!

    Turned off motion detection, expected BI CPU drop? +sighthound Q's

    40% seems kinda high for 4 cameras not recording Are you using the trial or licensed Blue Iris? What frame rates do you have set on the cameras and are you using direct to disc recording? Follow those tips in the link posted.

    4.4.8 - November 12, 2016

    Your Discovery/ONVIF listening port is still 8999 in BI. Change that to 80. Then click find/inspect.

    4.4.8 - November 12, 2016

    Also check that the BI Discovery/Onvif listening ports match to what is setup on the Dahua camera. Looks like the 8999 should be 80 from what I saw.

    @CaliGirl you should be able to control zoom on your bullet cam and PTZ on the black face Dahua. A few members here including myself have Make sure the user name you are giving blue iris to log into the camera has admin rights or at least PTZ rights. Double check the camera settings in BI to...

    New computer needed for Blue Iris

    I messaged the seller a few times for some details and was very responsive each instance. Last thing I asked was for the serial # and never got a reply. Very tempting with those specs, but not so sure now.

    Plasti-dipping outdoor IP cams

    The white cameras stick our like a sore thumb on my house. I'd like to spray paint mine "sandstone" to match the color of the siding. I've seen few painted cams in the installation section that blends well to the home. Not too worried about the overheating part since they''re all under the roof...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    @SyconsciousAu Nice! So the starlight cam sounds like it would be a better LPR. Are you running both as LPR cameras?

    Great LPR for under $300

    @nayr Is this the Z12 you're referring to? IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 I've been looking for another dedicated LPR cam and was trying to decide between the IPC-HFW5431E-Z5 or IPC-HFW5231E-Z12. I've seen some members with the Z5 and they seem to have good feedback, nothing in the Z12 yet though. Unless I...

    Finished my CCTV install on my new house today.

    Nice install! Mine has been outdoors mounted under the eaves for about a year and I'm in northern IL. It's been through 100+ humid days as well as -20 temps. Actually got mine from @EMPIRETECANDY before he became famous lol. There's another member that has one mounted outdoors completely...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Same here. I got the 25X a few days ago and I'm very happy with its performance after testing it out. Still need to mount it but I also am looking to buy a few turrets to add to my existing system.

    Just picked up mine today at the Fedex/Kinko's. I wasn't expecting it to arrive so quickly and missed it yesterday morning. Picked up at 5:19PM Tuesday and at my doorstep 9:39AM Wednesday, amazing!

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Assuming the label was created Sunday, I believe that was an estimate. Now that is was actually picked up, the delivery date will change. I saw the same with my order. Hopefully it gets on a plane before the holiday.
