Today and tomorrow will process all the pending orders for the IPC-HDW5231R-Z, so if no delay at USA, all shipment can be delivered before Thursday.
Big hurricane is on the way, take care everybody! Have a nice and safe weekend.

When setup correctly in BI, the PTZ controls will work.
Use find/inspect to add the camera, be sure to use the admin account that you have setup in the cam.

Thank you, Zoom working perfectly in BI. Dunno why Fenderman was going on about it being unusable,its very usable!

it is unusable and slow...its not meant and should not be used as a zoom...that is why there are no presets...there is no real world scenario that makes it useful...

Again, as fenderman stated, that's not what it was designed to be used for. FYI, It most likely won't hold up to frequent use.
Hi All,
I've purchased one of these cameras.
If I use the 12 volt DC connector, rather than POE, can you tell me if the power supply tip needs to be positive or negative? I can't find anything on polarity in any of the manuals or guides.

Positive in the centre, negative on the outside... The fact you need to run an RJ45 cable to it, its a no brainer to run it off POE.

Hi, I try to block my IP cameras Ip (192.168.1.***) but I can't access them from outside my local network, I have a pia account, someone mentioned open DNS, any steps to follow, I have a Netgear nighthawk r7000 router.

You will not be able to access your local network via the internet using your "PIA Account" you will need to setup a VPN solution (OpenVPN for example) on your home network (or where the cameras are connected to) so you can access them via a VPN client on your phone / work PC. Or you could port forward your cameras... Not a safe method.
OpenDNS is a 3rd party DNS service that can be used instead of your own ISP's DNS servers. This will not help you accessing your cameras remotely

Hope that helps. @nayr explains it very well. I need to set it up too. Good luck

I'd uncheck the PTZ option in the PTZ tab of BI for this camera...if you view the camera full screen in BI, it's real easy to accidentally zoom in or out which will put some wear on the camera...and, any IVS you have set up will no longer be functional until you return to the FOV you set up IVS in. Add to that, any motion detection set will be modified.
So I am looking at replacing all the cameras in our laundromat (8 indoor, 2 outdoor). We're going to pull new cat6 to replace the coax and run BI. I came upon this thread while looking for the best reasonably priced camera. I got through 20 pages of posts, gave up and skipped to the last few pages. I have 2 questions: is the IPC-HDW5231R-Z still the camera to get? and where should I buy them from for use in the US? I see @EMPIRETECANDY mentioned a lot around here. Should I start there?
