    Configuring Date/Time

    When I first setup my 5231 cam 2 years ago, I think I just used "Sync PC". I think this changed and it was off by 20 years! What settings do you use? Do you favor a certain name server? Thanks, R

    Why does the Dahua firmware upgrade process suck?

    The procedure for Dahua firmware upgrades really sucks. Jumping through the hoops..... 1) locate the firmware and DL; 2) Log into cam GUI; 3) save config; 4) reboot cam; 5) install new firmware; 6) factory reset; 7) find your cam on a subnet you are not normally using; 8) update settings...

    Water damaged connector, fixed. Dahua

    Just sharing in case it helps others. How I broke my IPC-HDW5231R-Z I decided I wanted more cameras after running a single cable to the side of my home, so I followed the cliff notes idea of using a POE powered switch. The POE switch was housed in an "off the shelf" waterproof enclosure...

    HDW4433C-A, a risky proposition?

    Okay, I know I'm going to need and want a few 5231s, however the HDW4433C-A is a third of the cost. I don't know much about this cam either than it looks like the previous version of the 5231 cosmetically. I see it being sold for as low as $48 delivered and it has audio too! Please help me to...

    Is this IR reflection?? 5231 varifocal

    Disclaimer, I plan on using this 5231 varifocal at full zoom. As you can see, under zero zoom, there is considerable IR blasting the soffit above. At full zoom, the camera lens is further towards the glass making the glare pretty bad. I think if I tilt the camera down a bit I may reduce the...
