    Just some local thieves spooked by motion sensor light

    Smart thinking. My goal when I get back home is to use home automation and have a rule set to where if the motion sensor is triggered, all the exterior lights (either front part, or rear part) come on and stay on for x minutes....something that makes it so its not too long, but is long enough...

    Just some local thieves spooked by motion sensor light

    Hello OP, how dark is the actual scene? I am new to these cameras and my eyes can't determine ambient light prior to the motion lights turning on. Those cameras look great, and earning each penny it looks like. Thanks

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE replacement

    since i only have the one camera at the moment, its set up on its own network via switches and its own router. I purchased this thinking I'd scale up with more cameras but at the time he one camera was fine.. I'd like to have an offline ecosystem which includes the cameras. However I'd like...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE replacement

    I started a thread with the SAME EXACT question. I deleted it after searching and found this thread. My situation is slightly different. I still have my HDW 5231R-ZE but I want a second camera. Based on your responses above I think I'll go with the T5442T-ZE. And they have it in black, even...

    recording issues, Dahua

    I haven't had this issue before and i don't remember changing settings on my camera. I have the 5231R-ZE. Last night before I went to bed (2300 hours) I hit the record button on blue iris. Woke up and went to review my clips. I noticed my clips dont start until 0638 hours this morning. Also...

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    it is ridiculous (awesome) how this camera uses light. I looked out my window and its pitch dark outside. My naked eye can't see my car in the parking lot. There is a tiny hint of a shiny object which turns out to be light from a distance reflecting off my headlight. If you didn't know my...

    Camera recommendations?

    your budget is low considering you'll need lense(s). look for canon 30d, 40d, 50d. Those go for about $150 for the body only. you can get a new 50mm 1.8 lens for another $99. That should get you going until you reach your limitations (needing a wider lens, zoom lens, etc). you will...

    Help with issues, first time install

    Ordered the Dahua 5231 ZE via Andy, it arrived in the US in a speedy 6 days. Impressed with the speed/service. A diagram should be attached of my current setup, dahua and PC both connected to the router, no switch. I have a TP Link SG1005P that is unused. The camera is powered with a 12V...

    Dahua N24CG52 and A22AH9Z

    I have not seen reviews of these two cameras online or anywhere else. I was wondering if anyone has experience with any of these two and how they compare to something like the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE for outdoor low light. N24BG52 EOL: 2MP IR 2.8mm IP Mini Eyeball – Dahua North America (replaced by...

    Am I in the right place

    @looney2ns those videos are great. on the Dahua HDW2231RP "no light" video, do you happen to have a photo or video of the actual ambient light using a non IR camera? I'm trying to gauge how dark the ambient lighting is and how it would appear to the naked eye, vs the lighting captured on the...

    Am I in the right place

    @looney2ns: I don't need audio but its nice to have. No preference. I don't plan on using the IR through glass. @tangent: I plan on installing the camera right outside my window.
