    Why doesn't MAC address of camera match sticker? (HDW5231R-ZE)

    Thanks guys, still seems strange that they were manufactured/produced with the wrong MAC address. Seemingly there has to be more to the story. I'm not aware of how MAC addresses work but Mat from your reply it seems they are assigned to businesses. So who is assigned to the ones that are on...

    Why doesn't MAC address of camera match sticker? (HDW5231R-ZE)

    Hey Andy, I bought 4 of the HDW5231R-ZE in black recently through your Amazon page. I've opened two of them and both of them have a MAC address that does not match the sticker. Why is that? The SN does match. In both cases, the sticker says: 2A:C9:03:7B:E4:xx and the devices themselves...

    Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    I wondered similar when I grabbed one of the above 8/13 bins and it didn't have both PAL/NTSC options from the dropdown. I had expected that in all newer firmware. When I read Andy's post above, I thought the two bins were for "with Dahua logo or no logo", but then closer inspection of the...

    Replace my Lorex 4K (lnb8005) with a starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE)

    Here's my experience in case it helps others: I bought a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE from Andy to add to my Lorex 4K 8-camera kit. I have a cable modem > router (non-wifi) > POE Switch > LOREX/Dahua NVR Cameras are plugged into NVR, everything else hardwired in house goes into Switch. I plugged the...

    Replace my Lorex 4K (lnb8005) with a starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE)

    Thanks, I was able to get it working! I had to plug my PC into the NVR to allow the Config Tool to see the cameras (that are plugged into NVR). When I had PC and Camera plugged into a POE Switch, Config Tool wouldn't see camera (maybe because of IP Address). Then I could use IE to go to IP...

    Replace my Lorex 4K (lnb8005) with a starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE)

    Hey guys, I'm in this same situation. I bought a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE to add to my Lorex 4K 8-camera kit. I plugged it into NVR thinking it would just work. No dice. I do see it in the "Remote Device" section in NVR, and it shows it with a 10.1.1.67 IP address. It shows it as not actived as...

    Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Thanks, I'll look into that (our to dinner now). Yes the first thing I did was plug directly into Lorex NVR, expecting it to work out of box. When viewing that camera it said "10.1.1.65 conf.LoginErrorNo-18" on otherwise black screen I did try both Chrome and IE.

    Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    I need help getting camera operational. I just got my first Dahua camera (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, from Andy) which I am adding to my Lorex (Dahua) system. How do I configure this thing to work? When I initially plugged it into Lorex NVR, the NVR said some configuration error. Then it occurred to me...

    Bought the Lorex 8-cam 4K $1599 kit. What other cameras to add?

    Hello, I'm new to the forum, and had an old analog camera setup at our hold house. When we built current house, I had ethernet run to 10 locations with the plans of a POE IP camera setup. But I had no idea what exact products I was going to get. Long story short and 1.5 years after we moved...
