Review-Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR 4k Mini Bullet

AveryFreeman said:
I have this IPC-HFW1831C-PIR and the IPC-T5442. Great cameras. I know the PFA130-E can work for the IPC-T5442 but is there a junction box that could work for the IPC-HFW1831C? Maybe the PFA134 with the included swivel mount? It's got about a 2" diameter 3-hole pattern and no cable management (I hate the mounting for it).

As far as I know there is no junction box specifically but I'm sure you can make some new holes in a pfa130.

I've never seen one, is the top plastic? Not a fan of drilling metal, if it's metal I'd probably just use a PVC junction box.

Hard to believe Dahua doesn't make something specifically compatible with that type of mount though, the swivel mount looks like it has a very standard hole pattern.

1831c - pir comes with 2 mounts the square rm mount has holes and might match up with a dahua junction box

Ahh, that's a good idea. Although the other mount is better since it has an X and Y axis, w/ the plate the only adjustment is Y axis, the X is set to however you position the plate on the surface.

If reboots and can't update, the camera's firmware locked. So have to use lorex to update only.

Thank you. Lorex seem to be doing this on their cameras and no firmware pages I can see online. I will contact their support but not holding my breath :)

I had put my front Door camera project on hold for many months, now back at it.
I purchased a HFW1831C-PIR and modified it so it can be used with an external speaker. That was successful. I have tested with the alarm hooked to an amplified speaker (extremely load).

However, I can't seem to figure out how to talk to the camera. The dahua web browser does not have a top right icon for microphone. Blue Iris 4 is a bigger mystery. The end game is to access video and two way audio in a web browser that can be shared around the house. Need to talk to the package man frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the version information obtained from the dahua browser information tab.
Thanks,

Update. I got two way audio to work with the Smart PSS application on windows
I would like to know if it is possible to make two way audio (talk and listen non-duplex) with either the Dahua web server or the BI webserver? I'm still using BI 4, would BI 5 help? Searching to make the interface family friendly. Ideally added to my HomeAssistant page. thanks again,

I'm running a headless BI machine. I access cameras and recordings typically through the BI webpage interface. I still would like to know if the talk function is available through the BI webpage. In BI 4 there is not an icon for a microphone, only speaker. The sound from supported cameras on my network plays on the BI 4 webpage . I'm trying to understand if that is a setup issue or a limitation with BI 4 (no audio talk capabilities on the webpage). If this is not an available option on BI 4, it would be nice to know if it is on BI 5.

Did you ever manage to get this firmware? Also can I Flash my lnb8105x to this better firmware directly from my NVR?

Hello, I phoned them up a while back but they said I had the latest firmware. Since then I have only bought Dahua Original or Hikvision Cameras as the firmware updates are often and once after the initial outlay of buying a decent NVR etc, the IP Camera's are easy to swap out. I still have a couple of the lorex in use indoors though, so would be interested if anyone ever did manage to update to a Dahua firmware.
 
OH, I am about this. I have a bunch of the ADC2Ws and love the form factor and the features. I have them installed over the place. Adding POE. I am about it

I upgraded LNB8105X to DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream2_V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605.bin via TFTP, and then was able to upgrade via GUI to DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream2_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707.bin. I did it recently, so not sure how reliable it will be. After upgrade IVS became available, which seems to work fine so far.
