    Hdw2231R-ZS

    Total newbie here but I have done a couple dahua cams recently with blue iris. As said above the cameras have to be initialized either by logging in to the camera directly through a web browser or through the dahua config tool. I think the dahua should come with a factory set ip address of...

    LPR Camera Tuning - Supplemental IR

    bp2008/DahuaSunriseSunset changes from day to night modes on Dahua cameras and sets zoom and focus - helps to deal with the focus issues many experience on z12 cameras when zoomed past 80%

    Severe Focus Issue with IPC-HFW5231E-Z12

    Question - The only question I am asking at this point is how do you set the Z-12 to Black and White 24/7 as some recommend for the focus issue? I cannot find that setting anywhere (I am logged in to the camera). I don't have the firmware version in front of me. But the cam was from Andy a...
