Hi,
I bought 3 Dahua (knockoffs?) off Aliexpress some time ago -> DAHUA English 2MP POE IR Eyeball IP Camera IPC HDW5231RP Z sd slot Starlight network web Cam IPC HDW5231R Z DH IPC HDW5231R Z -in Surveillance Cameras from Security & Protection on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
I didn't have much luck from the very beginning - struggled with PoE, learned that the FW crash when they are in the normal LAN network. After a while a gave them an another go and managed to hook 2 of them in a separate subnet to my old PC running Blue Iris, which is the first software I tried which implements motion detection correctly.
I cannot the third one to work since it seems to be unstable / faulty.
It disconnects the ethernet every minute or so, after that web stops responding and streaming freezes as well.
I tried different PSUs, cables, reset via web page, hard reset with the button inside the cam and I am running out of ideas.
I might try to reflash / update the FW but since the origin of this HW is unknown there is a chance I'll brick it in the process.
Here are the symptoms:
FW version:

Any ideas? I PMed a kind guy from Ali store however I do not put much hope in the after-sales support if you know what I mean.
Cheers,
Greg
