    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...

    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?

    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?

    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?

    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?

    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...

    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?

    I'm using Dahua cameras that will be connected to a Dahua NVR (haven't settled on a NVR just yet). I can't connect my NVR to a modem directly but I do have a WiFi signal and would like to see the footage when a motion event occurs remotely on my phone. I've seen some bridges that need to be on...

    The Right NVR For My Needs?

    I've read a ton on this site the last couple weeks and picked my cameras (Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E) and microphones, but I need help picking a device to record all my footage. Everything will be run off a solar setup at a cabin off grid, so most likely 12V but I could do 24V if I really had too...

    NVR Choice and POE Distance

    I have a couple of the Dahua starlight IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E cameras. I'm using these cameras to film wildlife in the woods and want to run a number of the Z12E cameras off large 12V batteries and have them record in the highest quality to single NVR. I have to use batteries because I'm off grid, I...

    Specific case and where is the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12?

    I have a very specific setup requirement for setting up a security camera. I have a remote cabin with no power. I'd like to power the camera with a 12V battery and solar charger (that parts easy for me). I wanted an external mic and was going to wire the security camera to a PIR. When the PIR...
