Did you try the default code it comes with from the factory?

That's right... I see you. This dude has delivered here before.. he knows what's up. lol. I laughed out loud when I saw the clip. There isn't much action where I am aside from people taking a walk and kids on their bikes. I wouldn't have it any other way I suppose.

Considering where my original doorbell was, I find putting the DB-11 there, I can't see faces when they ring the bell. I'll need to angle it as well.

I'd love to see your birdhouse solution.

OpenVPN user here... so happy to here that!

Also interested in your experience with it. I'm having a helluva time trying to figure out how to get a POE wire to that doorbell area for the Dahua Mini-dome I bought from Andy... if this is a good solution, I have another place to put that mini-dome which I know I can wire up easily enough.

I was thinking about doing the same thing, but ended up with a BAT LTE, so it has wireless (LTE) and internet connections to AlarmRelay.com... no landline. I do however pay $20/month, but piece of mind that I don't have to worry about Comcast's spotty service. They aren't horrible... but I do...

@tangent Just looping back for an update... took me awhile... just life stuff... but I have replaced the old system with the PC1864 without issue. Split some things that were all in one zone out to multiple zones for more granularity of knowing what door/window was opened, etc. Hooked up the...

Appreciate the comment.... I've since even purchased some spare SATA6 cables just in case, from CableMatters I think it was. To follow up... WD processed my returned drive, fixed it... sent same drive back. Now it works as expected, on the same cable. Whole process took about 1.5 weeks...

Yes, that was something I tried before replacing the drive and saw online a percentage of folks had that issue. Didn’t solve for me. Running on same SATA cable as before with no issues. Firmware was already most recent available. Certainly good things to look at though.

Just wanted to relay an experience in case anyone runs into this as well. My entire Blue Iris machine starting locking up periodically. The problem kept getting worse and worse so I started to investigate... as near the end the server would be OK for max 30 seconds! My Windows 10 Event Viewer...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am using the latest that I can find on the Dahua site.

Ok, so most of the important things work... IR? fuggedaboutit. But when in color mode.. not worried about that one. Guess I can live with a little non-perfection, as the result is what I wanted.

Yea, not worried about SmartIR for obvious reasons.. but it was an example of something that kept changing. Well thanks for the reply. I'll try now to see if I don't switch back and forth checking settings... and saving... if it stays put. Glad to know it's not just this one camera... I'll...

Anyone ever have issues with the Day/Night profiles saving settings over one another? A search here came up blank. For instance, if I change "Day" to color only.... "Night" also changes... and vice versa. If I change "Night" to SmartIR... "Day" also changes. Anyone know how I can undo this...

I'm using the TP-Link T1600G-52PS JetStream 48-Port Gigabit Smart PoE+ Switch with 4 SFP Slots Before anyone asks, my justification: I've recently seen it selling for $429. For the cameras I am/will be using there are a few POE+, PTZ, etc., and I'll have some IR floods, wifi access points...

Andy is back! I hope he doesn't need a vacation from his vacation as I often do... so rather than let him rest, I just pinged him for a 3rd order. :-) 1st two orders were done late Friday night EST, and 1st was received the next Thurs... the 2nd the next Wed, to the east coast of US.

Just a couple updates.. to give back a little. I have a couple cameras permanently installed, though I still need to properly wire both. They are waterproofed at least. I was contemplating painting them.... but I'm not so sure I will. I tend to like the deterrence factor. Front of...

Let's them keep the price down on this one? Cheap compared to the competitors of this camera that john-ipvm mentions in his report.

I just added a 4k Dahua onto my BI server (i5-3570K) and it increased my CPU by ~12 or 14%, and I went from 11Mbps on the network card to 24Mbps. lol. Would love to have this camera... better low light performance and in 4k? Hell yes please! I really only have 3 cameras locations I'd...

The link worked for me the SECOND time I tried it... had to choose international.. agree to cookie... then the link works.

Just got the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE version of this camera. No focus issues.

Thanks for the review!

This camera has SSA. Seems to work great at night. I’ll turn it off (don’t want to it really helps with night vision) to see if blur is reduced.

Yea I saw that. It is outside. The reflective gear the guy was wearing created that reflection on the glass in front of the lens I think.

OH.... not $150 fee if you have one of those models... nice.

Went with the 1864 kit, same one you mentioned above. Got the PC-Link cable and two extra fobs, and an expansion board. Appreciate all your help @tangent I'll certainly be making that zone list. Right now only have 6 wired zones. Going to get things working as they are (and learn)... then...

This is exactly the thing I want to do. Not the other way around... Just finally ordered everything just now.... Need to get this sucker installed and working.

People suck.
