    PTZ3E405-AI day/night settings

    Got a PTZ3E405-AI recently, my first ptz. I'm having trouble with the day/night settings as there is no day/night profile, unlike all my other Dahua cameras.

    8MP eyeballs?

    Add some light and it does pretty good at night.

    8MP eyeballs?

    Andy's listing for the 5831 shows the lens is f1.4. You might want to check with him.

    8MP eyeballs?

    Do you need color at night specifically, or is it just a nice to have feature?

    New firmware for IPC-HXX5231XX Released on 201711

    Well I installed the new firmware after exporting my settings profile. Install went good, did a reset but when I tried to import my saved profile, it gave me a failed message. Not sure if there's some trick to get it to work. Also speaking of browsers and plugins, has anyone tried Firefox...

    New firmware for IPC-HXX5231XX Released on 201711

    When you do a default reset after updating the firmware, does this wipe out all the customized settings I have made (frame rate, IVS, etc)? Is there a way to save the settings to return to that configuration after the reset? I would hate to have to manually redo the settings on each of my cameras.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have an IPC-HDW5231R-ZE with [NTSC]DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_EngSpnFrn_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000000.16.R.20170904 firmware, running on a Dahua NVR5216-4KS2. I have it set to 15 fps, H.265 and as far as I know it's recording at 15 fps. No bug for me.

    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

    I did the update, didn't save or try to update my settings. Everything is as it was before the update. But I did not do a factory reset. Joe

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    Yes, the model dome camera matters. I have all turret cameras outside except one mini dome in my outdoor covered patio where I wanted a less obvious form factor. It is a Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-AS and it has the same great low light sensor as the IPC-HDW5231R-Z turret, though without the varifocal...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Arjun, I'm in the same boat. I sent my request via PM for 1 camera in late January, and have been getting the runaround since. I've been communicating with him at least weekly and have gotten every excuse for delays, oh on more week, oh two more weeks, oh really soon can you wait another week...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I've been messaging, he's been responsive, just no invoice sent. His latest maybe date is the 13th, just not happy if people are ordering through Aliexpress are getting cameras before me. Joe

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    When did you order? I know there was no supply of these cameras early in the year but it seems Andy has posted he's now getting them by the hundreds and it seems like people have ordered though his Ailexpress site have gotten cameras after ordering after I have. I know he's a good guy, just...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I'm getting a little frustrated with ordering through Andy with the conversation feature on this forum. He has been responsive, but I've gotten excuse after excuse why I'm not having my camera shipped. I contacted him originally on Jan 30. At that time I knew he was still on holiday for Chinese...

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    It's the dome's IR plus the IR from a Cantonk KIP-500DR20H like this: It's mounted off to the left out of view about 25 ft away (see shadows from chair). Joe

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    It is surprisingly small, about the size of the palm of my hand. Joe

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    Not sure if this fits your form factor, but I just got this camera: IPC-HDBW4231F-AS | Dahua Technology It's a Starlight, so the night vision quality is great. And it's surprisingly small, only 4" diameter. You could mount it slightly above the height of the door, and off to the side a bit and...

    Firmware on Dahua NVR

    I bought an NVR5216-4KS2 last July that came with an earlier firmware version than 3.210.0002.2 7-21-16. Everything worked pretty good except my non-Dahua cameras (Cantonk) would not work at H.265 (they work fine at H.264). Also, during playback, the "Fast1-4" settings were not very smooth and...

    Cantonk shootout

    While some have had problems with the Longse/Cantonk cameras (myself included), labeling them "junk" is a bit harsh. Most of the problems boil down to faulty POE. Of the 6 KIP-500DR20H cameras I have, 2 had problems going off line randomly when in night vision mode. I bought some inexpensive POE...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Not in a box, it is mounted on the ceiling of my carport, with the POE up in the space between the rafters of the flat roof above it. But I'm in So. Florida, so it probably gets pretty hot. Only had the problem when it switched into night mode and needed to power the IR. Joe

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Of the 5 S500's I have, one was constantly on and offline at night only, ran fine during the day. Probably the infamous external POE could not keep up with the power demand with the IR on. Bought the splitter klasipca posted earlier (thanks!), and for the first time the camera stayed on all...

    Thanks, I figured as much. I was hoping H.265 was more of a "standard" and not a "feature"! Joe

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 H.265?

    Since I upgraded 5 of my cameras to Cantonk 5MP: https://cantonk.en.alibaba.com/product/60298649989-218870438/H_265_H_264_5MP_IPC_IP_Dome_Camera.html?spm=a2700.7803228.1998738836.186.XmyF0b I also replaced my Dahua nvr with their latest model NVR5216-4KS2 to take advantage of 5MP recording...

    Latest cam prices from Longse. Can someone explain chip diffrences? *Pic Attached

    Not sure what's going on but on alibaba, Longse is now selling the cameras with the Acesee name. Probably the same cameras as before but not sure why the name change. https://gzacesee.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.V3snwr#top-nav-bar Joe

    Cantonk KIP-TC20

    Thanks. This video of I'm guessing a Longse camera with IMX291 looks pretty clean. For the price I might just give it a try. Does the Longse firmware allow separate day/night image settings? The first turret I bought was Longse, but when I went to order more, Eddie wanted min 10 units, so I went...

    Cantonk KIP-TC20

    I have a Hikvision ds-2cd2532f-iws that has a stuck IR cut filter, so I'm looking for a replacement (unless someone has a fix). I like the small mini-dome form factor, so I've been looking at these Cantonk cameras: http://www.cantonk.com/Info/View_pro.asp?id=1125 My questions are... does...
