Dahua IPC-HDW4421S how to disassemble??

[james99]

Here are some pics. How do I take apart the plastic ring to get the camera ball out? All parts are plastic, except the camera ball. This is driving me crazy. Nothing in the included chinese pamphlet except an exploded view.

Look for a small button on bottom ring.

Got it figured out. The plastic ring that slips over the shell that the camera is in side of just needed to be distended at three points. There was a triangle shaped piece of plastic on the ring that clicked on top of the mounting ring. The plastic is soft enough so that you can really pull it about 1/4" away and this needed to be done at three points.

the person who said look for a button, I think that you were just guessing. Absolutely no button on this model.

Glad u figured it out. My 4421c and 4431c models have a release button as one of the 3 catches.
