    Tendelux 4W, 8W, or is there a 950nm option?

    I need two IR illuminators for a security camera to see at night. Ideally would like 940nm or 950nm IR lights but haven't found anything to my liking so please share if you have a suggestion. I know at 950nm I'd have to throw more light and I'm fine with that. Whatever I pick I definitely don't...

    4x PC-HFW5231E-Z12E Cameras, NVR5208-8P-4KS2E w/ 4TB, Etc

    The cameras and NVR were all purchased through Andy on this site. The 4TB hard drive that I installed and everything else was from various sellers, mostly Amazon. I'd rather sell the cameras and NVR together but if the only way to sell them is without the DVR then I'd sell them by themselves. If...

    4x PC-HFW5231E-Z12E Cameras, NVR5208-8P-4KS2E w/ 4TB, Etc

    I bought the best IP camera system I could afford but unfortunately have to sell it before I’m able to set it up. It’s all either new in box and never opened or opened and tested. All prices INCLUDE shipping form the US (See pics below): $300: -NVR5208-8P-4KS2E -4TB WD Purple 4TB Surveillance...

    Where to Sell my IP cameras?

    In 2019 I bought a 4 IP cameras, DVR, hard drive, etc for a full setup from this site. Unfortunately I have to sell it before I have a chance to set it up. Is there a forum I can post on here to sell it or is that not allowed? I could do Ebay but would rather post here and skip the fees if...

    Live Streaming to YouTube?

    How hard would it be to live stream something like one of the starlight cameras to YouTube all day every day? I'd like to make a live feed for animals coming into my yard and just wondering how challanging that might be. Thanks in advance!

    Any 4k 60fps IP Cameras out there?

    Agreed and good point but in terms of ability to film around the clock, pre-record, and triggering on events...IP cameras have some significant advnatages. I want a gopro camera with the functionality of an IP camera and the ability to film IR at night and color during the day. If only I could...

    Any 4k 60fps IP Cameras out there?

    Thanks you! I'm looking for a camera I can use to film during the day and night but that will also produce production level video. I could probably do $1000 a camera give or take a few hundred it it came down to it.

    Any 4k 60fps IP Cameras out there?

    Oops I meant 4K at 30fps, edited my original post to fix that. Do you have a favorite 4k 30fps camera ideally with an audio input?

    Any 4k 60fps IP Cameras out there?

    Looking for a 4k 60fps IP camera ideally or 4k at 30fps if that doesn't exist (any brand). Is there anything out there like that? I spent some time looking online, on these forums, reading the cliff notes, etc, and still haven't seen anything.

    Accessing IP Cam Setup Menu?

    Awesome, after about 4 hours I’m able to connect to my camera on my computer after resetting the NVR IP address, my computers IP adress, and fixing some network issues. Having some browser plugin problems so I can’t see the video in my browser but I can probably figure that out with more...

    Accessing IP Cam Setup Menu?

    I have a Dahua NVR5208-8P-4KS2E, it's brand spanking new. Just trying to get everything set up for the first time. I haven't connected to the NVR over my computer yet so I haven't seen that registration tab yet. So far I've just booted it on a monitor I have. I have SMART PSS on my mac and I...

    Heaters in the Lens to Prevent Condensation?

    Yes I mean tree mounted cameras or cameras on the ground such as cameras made by Browning (Cabelas sells them). They aren't POE, all battery powered cameras that turn on and take a picture only when motion is sensed. Most of the time they basically aren't using any power (20uA), compared to...

    Heaters in the Lens to Prevent Condensation?

    I think that's mostly right but cameras located on or near the ground or in specific circumstances would fog up. If you have a large mass like a big battery with the camera it might keep the case cold longer then the ambient temperature. I definitely have wildlife cameras in the woods around my...

    Accessing IP Cam Setup Menu?

    I think that I read somewhere that I can't just connect the NVR to the modem with an Ethernet cable to get to the camera setup menu, I have to connect the camera directly to the modem, is that right? That would mean I'd need to order a power injector switch.

    Accessing IP Cam Setup Menu?

    What’s the best way to change the settings on my Dahua IP camera? Basically, how do I get to the menu on the camera to change things? I have an NVR hooked up to the camera and can see the video feed but not sure how to change the camera settings like the setup page to enable microSD recording...

    Heaters in the Lens to Prevent Condensation?

    Thanks for the response! That's interesting, I'm surprised by that. I wonder if it's because the cameras are up off the ground near a house or if there's another reason. I will have my cameras down on ground level (long story) so hopefully I don't have any issues. Recently I had had some...

    Heaters in the Lens to Prevent Condensation?

    I'm setting up some Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras and a little worried they will have condensation on their lenses from dew in the morning. Do the lenses have heaters in them to keep moisture away and is that something I can control?

    Picking the Right Cable?

    Thank you so much for the advice! Most of the cable will be laying on a slope above a wetland and maybe 10ft of it will be a few inches under the surface if that(all well drained soil). I will be running some long cable so even though conduit is cheap I'm not sure it's doable for 300ft but...

    Picking the Right Cable?

    That does look like nice cable and the reviews on the one I posted said it isn't rated to direct burial. I was really hoping to get something a bit cheaper then what you posted but I might have to bite the bullet on this one. Thanks for the suggestion!

    WD Pruple HHD for NVR?

    I need to order an internal HHD for my Dahua NVR5208-8P-4KS2E. The documentation PDF says: "SATA III Ports, Up to 10 TB capacity for each HDD". From everything I've read on this site, everyone suggests the WD purple HHD but that has a Sata connection. I know the SATA III connection is backwards...

    Picking the Right Cable?

    Read a lot of posts on here, just want someone to confirm I'm on the right track before I make a purchase. Looking for 1000' roll of quality outdoor Ethernet cable. Will be running some cables outdoors for 300-400ft each with ePoE between some Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras and a Dahua...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Awesome thank you so much! This is moving me forward in leaps and bounds. Last two questions: 1) When you say "good" card, what does that mean? Just class 10 of higher and not a fake? Like the SanDisk Ultras? Evo Plus aren't that much more...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Thank you, that clears a lot up for me! Do you know if the pre-record is saved to a buffer in the camera or if it's saved to the SD card and continuously writing over itself? I'm guessing it's not the SD card and that SD cards going bad in these cameras isn't really an issue. If the camera is...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Two questions about this camera, I have the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E but I think for all purposes it's the same as the Z12. 1) Can this camera record to a micro SD card and a NVR at the same time or do I have to pick one or the other? 2) Do you recommend upgrading the firmware?

    Wifi Bridge for Multiple Cameras?

    Thanks for your response, please bear with me as I explain. I’d love to get you input so if there’s a better way to do this please don’t hold back! If I run 4 cameras and a NVR, am I right to think that I would have to run four Ethernet cables from a NVR to each ePOE port (one to each camera)...

    Wifi Bridge for Multiple Cameras?

    I have four Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras and I was hoping to set them up so I could run power to each camera and have each camera record to a micro SD card on motion(no NVR), and transmit each camera over a WiFi bridge. That's four cameras, each with their own WiFi bridge all connected over...

    Bridge for NVR Video over WiFi?
