I'm selling this camera. This is a no reserve auction. It has worked well for me the 2 years I've had it in service. I purchased it in Jan 2019 from Andy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dahua-IPC-HDW5831R-ZE-Camera-w-PFB203W-wall-mount/324487642936

I’m going to be selling and shipping some cameras. Is there a recommended way to protect the lens port in shipping? A film or something to protect the optical glass from getting scratched? TIA

What is the recommended firmware for my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras? I see that there is a version V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605, but reading the below thread casts some doubt on whether I should load it or not. I see references to an older .13 or .15 version of the FW being better than the latest...

I've got a network monitoring system that I am trying out. It is able to pull, I think via onvif, information about my dahua cameras and also initiate a reboot. This works great on 8 of my 10 cams. On 2 of them, this information is not collected and the remote reboot does not work. I cannot...

I've got a dozen IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras that I am trying to use the MJPEG stream. Unfortunately, my application does not accept a URL that begins with RTSP:/, which, unfortunately, all of the URLs that I have been able to set up for streaming begin with. Is there non-rtsp URL that can be used...

When I am viewing a camera recording in BI Viewer, how do I turn on the crop marks so that I can export a clip?

I'm helping a friend set up some cameras. We have a couple that are going to be high and cover a large area. I have a couple of questions about illuminators. What cable should I run for illuminators? DC cable looks like it get prohibitively large with length (up to 150'). Is 120vac...

I've been a happy BI user for just over a year, big thanks due to this community for helping me get off the ground. For the past 2 - 3 weeks I've been testing the Unifi Protect system and also the crowd funded Camect NVR. All three of these are good systems and each has strengths and...

I'm using BI 5.0.5.8. When I started using BI, I beleive that it did not support H.265 video, only H.264, or that it didn't support intel onboatd graphic hardware decoding of H.265 and that H.264 was the preferred codec. What is preferred for the newer version of BI? Is H.265 as good as H.264...

I'm 3 days into Sentry. It is so far, pretty excellent. Very few false alarms. It is 80% good on Human recognition. I do not get any vehicle or pet (45 lb dog) alerts on any cameras. I do get the occasional "Motion" alerts. I thought that Vehicle and Pet alerting had been coming or already...

I don't know if this is related, but since I upgraded to BI5, my Watch Dog Web Server Monitor IP Address does not work. I am unable enter the address in this field and cannot find another location to enter it. It makes no difference if I tick "Auto IP/PORT" or not. Also the refresh button...

I recently upgraded to BI5. Since I upgraded, recordings are not saved. I presume a behavior id different between BI4 and BI5. I did export and then import my BI4 config into BI5, other than this, it seems to be successful. Any tips where to look for these and resume recarding AND saving...

I just upgraded to BI5. 1) 6 hours later, when I open a console session (it runs the service no problem), it asks for user/pw. This is new. How do I turn this off? 2) After entering "admin" credentials, the menu button is grayed out and will not activate. This was working when I set it up...

Is Dark Fight going to be the line to replace ePOE? Don't see it on the Dahua site yet, but @EMPIRETECANDY has a few up. Dark Fight Series - Shop Cheap Dark Fight Series from China Dark Fight Series Suppliers at Empire Technology Co., Ltd on Aliexpress.com Great pricing.

I've read the help file and watch Dasstrum's Profile video. One thing that is not clear to me is: Are profiles global, ie are all cams on the same profile always, or can individual cams be operating under different profiles?

I'm new to setting up my cams. I've seen quite a few videos here from other users that have great detail at night. I have not been able to get my videos to look good. My settings are mostly default. I did read about turning 3D NR down, but not off. I tried this, but no noticeable...

Is there a way to apply camera, or individual camera, settings to all cameras? IE, if I update a variable, can I apply it to other cams, or specific other cams, rather than needing to open each cam's properties and edit? For example, I just adjusted my file naming string and want all 9 cams to...

Is there a guideline for how I should set my Dahua cams? I've got the S1 video set, H.264 and am aware of frame rate. What should I do with S2 and S3? Does it matter for the performance of the cam or BI? What should I do with the IVS stuff? Can BI leverage any of it? I've got storage in...

I’m setting up and optimizing (and experimenting with) a new BI system. I have an i7-8700 and 8 x 2mp + 1 x 8mp Dahua cams. Currently set to “direct to disc” and “HA” with 30fps (2mp) 15fps (8mp). I’ve optomised as recommended in the wiki (other than FPS). My cpu runs at about 30% and GPU...

im replacing an NVR with BI. Currently, my NVR is sequestered with my cams on a vlan that cannot access my main vlan and cannot access the wan. Should I put my BI on my main vlan or my camera vlan? I will want to use the BI mobile apps, if this will affect where I install BI. Do the BI...

Sorry to start another “what PC” thread, but didn’t want to hijack someone else’s or dig up an obsolete one. ive read a lot of info here regarding what computer to use for BI. There always seems to be a sweet spot for price vs. performance. Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk I’d...

i cannot get my Dahua cameras to display in iOS IPCam Viewer. They work fine in IDMSS. The user/pass is correct, as is the IP. I’ve tried various ports (37777, 554, 80, 37778) and channels with no success. Also, SSL on and off. I’ve tried Dahua and generic onvif cam manufacturer and cam types...

I'm trying to set up my dahua cams in my automation software. Is there a list of urls (&syntax) for viewing various streams? My automation software (Homeseer) needs a mjpeg stream I think. I've set up substream 2 for this. Thanks.

I’m setting up 9 x IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cams. I’ve found the power zoom to be really useful in tweaking the framing of my cameras. Once set, is there a way to turn off the zoom, so it doesn’t get changed? Thanks!

I'm having a frustrating time with my 4 new Dauha cams and NVR. The picture they make is nice, but the web interface is slow and buggy. I usually cannot playback video. One of the worrisome things that I see, is no preview video on my NVR NVR5416-4KS2 with my IPC-HDW5831R-ZE. I've seen this...

im trying to figure out how to remotely view recordings on iOS. I have iDMSS set up and working for live viewing of the nvr. I cannot figure out how to playback recordings. Is done in iDMSS? Thanks

im setting up a Dahua NVR video output into my AV system. I see that some on them may ship with an IR remote. Is this true? If so, which ones? What can you do with the remote? Do they all work with a remote? I’d love to get this to work with my control system. My NVR is a NVR5416-4KS2...

I just got a new Dahua NVR5416-4KS2. It's pretty loud. Are there options for installing quieter fans? It looks like there is 60mm x 15mm case fan that could be replaced with a quieter unit. Unfortunately, I cannot find a Noctua fan the same size and spec as this one. I don't know other fan...
