    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Did some testing last night and found very interesting results. 1. I reset 1 cam to all defaults kept the same firmware and when I rebooted the only options I changed were the FPS to 30, the bit rate to CBR 8192 and the i frame to 60. After doing this the problems still existed and did not...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    just reset one camera to all defaults - will test again today and tonight. My cameras came with the NTSC firmware but I noticed the most recent firmware on the first page of this thread is for PAL - any reason to not try the PAL firmware on one of the cameras

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Been using my HDW5231R-Z's for a couple of weeks now and am having some issues I can't fix. 1. I am having very bad ghosting at night 2. During the day I get very bad choppiness of cars driving by and kids running up and down the sidewalk. I've posted my settings for any input

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Any ideas why one camera will allow you to adjust from 1fps to 60fps and another camera of the same model, 5231R-Z, and firmware will only allow adjustment from 1fps to 30fps. I know I will probably never need 60fps but would still like to know why the option isn't available on all of my...

    Just got my 4 new 5231R-Z's setup and connected to the Blue Iris demo version. I cant seem to get the CPU usage below 35% to 40%. I am running just the 4 cams on a dedicated PC with an i5-6600t processor. I've tried all recommended setting such as direct to disk. Any ideas what to try to lower...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Haven't yet - didn't want to take it apart unless I had to - IP's are all set right and worked fine on the other 3 cameras. Looks like it's time to crack it open and reset it. Is the process to just hold down reset while powering on or reset while already powered on.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I just purchased 4 of the IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras from Andy and I was able to get all setup except one. For some reason I can't get it to connect to the network. The first 3 had no issues connecting and I was able to change the IP's and get them setup. The 4th one will not connect no matter what...
