    Replacement and addition to IPC-HDW5231R-ZE

    Thank you guys, I guess the difference between IPC-T3241T-ZAS and IPC-T2231T-ZS is that 3241 has audio and 2231 does not? They both appear same to me rest of specification and based on Looney2ns review of 2231 it is definitely an improvement over my original HDW5231R-ZE cameras.

    Replacement and addition to IPC-HDW5231R-ZE

    Is IPC-T2231T-ZS good replacement for HDW5231R-ZE? Looks Like HDW5442T-ZE is 4MP top performer varifocal turret. I guess will buy at least 1 or 2 of these and rest would have to be replacement for HDW5231R-ZE.

    Dahua WiFi Desk or Counter Top Indoor Camera?

    Anyone on this forum have experience with Dahua A46/A26/A35 series consumer line cameras? I see Andy sell them. A46 is WiFi with two way audio and PTZ, it looks like a table top camera and can run on a power adapter.

    How to choose between these two cameras? I have an open 90'x100' side year and would like to cover as much, was thinking about installing one at the back corner of the house. I have attached a drawing of the house and yard and 5 locations where I have Cat6A cables installed. Obviously the...

    questions about IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and IPC-HFW5231E-Z/Z5/Z12

    My main concern is if i can mount the HDW5231R-ZE turret sideways without the wall mount accessory or any junction boxes for clean low profile look and if lens can be rotated. Also if you look at the picture my Cat6 cable is only have 6-8 inches away from the door frame so it is not exactly on...

    questions about IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and IPC-HFW5231E-Z/Z5/Z12

    Folks, Thanks to the fine folks who responded and pointed me into the right direction on the other thread, I have decided to build my own system using Dahua and Blue Iris instead of buying Lorex 4k system from Costco. I have narrowed down to HDW5231R-ZE turret and HFW5231E-Z/Z5/Z12 bullet but...

    How is Costco Lorex 4k 8-channel NVR with 6 bullet cameras

    I found N44BB33-B on Dahua US site which I like because I need or prefer Black camera but not sure if this is a Startlight version. Are cameras on Dahua US and Dahua's global website (dahuasecurity.com) completely different? Also have anyone painted cameras to Black?

    How is Costco Lorex 4k 8-channel NVR with 6 bullet cameras

    @mat200 I have PoE switch, a completely unused but bit old i7 PC (i7-6700k, 16G DDR3 RAM, 256G SSD), looks like Blue Iris can run on this. Does Blue Iris have feature parity with Dahua's own software in terms of remote viewing capability?

    How is Costco Lorex 4k 8-channel NVR with 6 bullet cameras

    Thank you folks keep the recommendations coming. Like I mentioned since I invested in pre-wiring the home I would definitely like to get wired IP cameras and have enough PoE ports on my switches. Now on the camera, are there any benefits of cons of using Bullet over Turret? On the @giomania's...

    How is Costco Lorex 4k 8-channel NVR with 6 bullet cameras

    I guess my real question is if the Costco’s Lorex 4K good enough or for roughly $1500 can I do significantly better for 5 IP cameras and NVR? I really don’t care about 4K resolution regular 1080p is just fine, have been looking at various 1080 and 4K security camera feed videos on YouTube and...
