Here’s my thoughts on Andy and other vendors whom I’ve never shopped. Andy is a trusted and proven vendor here, 2 BIG adjectives. To me and I don’t care if I’m buying a camera or any item on eBay I need to trust a vendor and there’s never going to be a time when I value saving $10 more than...

Thanks like you I’m in FL. There’s no expectation of privacy, regardless if they would be in my house they’re leaving in a body bag.

Friend of mine thinking about adding a few cameras but he is on a limited budget and not overly considered about audio capability. Anyone install cams without audio and regret it after the fact? He may go for a cam say at front door with audio.

Invest your time before your money. Read and a lot !

Well done my friend, impressive results.

We are also building a house and will be ordering another 14 or 15 Dahua cams from Andy, I’m not concerned. Regardless of what happens, resourceful Andy will get US cams. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Tough people want good and cheap. You can give them one or the other, let em pick. Oh wait what about support? Forget cheap.

Two versions. One is WiFi and Ethernet and power adapter and other is POE only with no adapter.

My thinking is you can reset on Web GUI or Confog Tool. Could be wrong.

Absolutely, prolly mount no higher than 7’.

I was just about to ask, your response timing dead on.

And here is your answer. Andy shipped my cams from Hong Kong and they were on my desk in FL in 36 hours. Got a couple for inside to play with and learn on now and another for testing while our house is being built. In the mean time I’ve got a lot to learn.

Use Pale Moon browser. I dumped the stand alone config tool after continued errors. I downloaded Dahua Toolbox, setup a new account and used the config tool app incorporated in toolbox. Up and running in couple of minutes.

Buy the real deal not anything you’ll regret, it’s your dime though.

Absolutely, 60 drops and full Unify Network with 6 WiFi APs.

Been more than that counting design time lol. Met builder this afternoon and we are scheduled to clear the lot and rock and roll. This is our forever house on the water and builder only builds 7 houses per year so been in line.

Spot on best advice. We are in process of building a home with what will be 18 cameras. I bought 5 cameras, 4 of which I have no doubts on. The 5th a 5231R-ZE which I’ll test in the field during construction and most likely buy 13 more of those. Highly recommend Andy aka @EMPIRETECANDY as a...

Nice job, lived in South FL for 20 plus years and now we moved North to Perdido Key. Pretty much just like Key West without the Gentleman’s Club with cameras LOL.

Welcome been here a good minute, great site and a wealth of knowledge. Take your time, a new system can’t be cobbled together without asking a lot of questions and reading a LOT! When you think you’ve got some idea and you start to work with your setup, you’ll soon find you don’t know a LOT!

What happens in Key West stays in Key West. Well until ya make front page of the NY Post.

Need ? No, depends on your preference and the appearance of the finished product. Just locate some images of with and without and if no install issues to contend with pick your poison.

Thanks what mount did you use ?

Thanks much. What height are cams mounted at? I need 2 cams as well.

That and the MCL I blew out a week ago in my left leg, that’s some painful stuff.

Like ty OP I’m a total newbie working with cams and PCs, been a Mac user for 35 years plus. Follow Q’s input and the links to initial setup and config tool guide. Print them out and start at the top and work it slowly. I got thru 2 cams this way today and 4’to go. Then I’ll instal BI. Slow and...

What cam are you using in your garage? Garage in house we are building is 30’ x 40’ give or take. 1’16’ door and a 9’ door. One entry point into the house from garage. I’m thinking 1 cam at the entry facing towards the garage doors and the 2nd in the far corner facing the entry door to catch a...

Oh hell, anyone got a Dremel ?

Camera was on the porch when I got home last night, thanks Q!

Great review and camera, this may well be going on the roof of the new house.

There ya go, get your Google Fu on.
