Thanks, I'll check the base of this camera that I have already taken down for my piece of mind. For one of the houses, II was able to go back into emails with Andy, and the (8) cameras I purchased for this location are HDW5231R-ZE cameras. It was really more that I've not noticed this before...

Sorry, I may not have been clear, I have NO interest in upgrading the firmware since I have no issues with the cameras. What I'm hoping to do is upgrade (replace with newer models) some of my cameras themselves. However, rather than pulling out the ladder and climbing not only my house, but...

I'm sure this has been discussed, but the search seems to turn up too many hits with the keywords I'm using. I'm looking to upgrade some of my older camera, and when I try to identify some of the the cameras, they don't show a model. Using the Dahua config tool, some show up as the model, some...

I've been using the model IPC-A35 for just that purpose inside the house (have it in 3 rooms), been very happy with it, and one of the few 'wireless' ones that don't just vanish off the wifi network (two locations I just can't get a network cable to)

The weird part it various cameras. I thought maybe I applied a firmware update to them (the ones that don't register), but this one above was just unpacked on Sunday (was purchased last year though).

Here you go:

The ones that do identify are the same major firmware, but vary on the .xx.X firmware. (Part of my wanting to do note this is so I can know what each model is so I can update firmware). The ones that don't vary from age and model (some turrets, some dome, some bullet). Just so strange that...

Still same results. Here's one of the camera's that won't identify:

Is there a way to detect what model camera a particular camera is? I have a lot of them (almost 20). When I run the Dahua Config Tools, it does display SOME of the models, but others are just listed as "IP Camera" not will it display the version number. I guess it would also be more correct...

Congrats Andy!!!

Just having a chance to update, I took advantage of Andy's generous offer, to place an order big enough to finally replace my HIK cameras (I honestly have WAY too many cameras for my house :), and I freely admit it. There's banks with less coverage than I have in some of the corners of my...

LOL! It's usually a discussion I can avoid, she never notices the outside cameras, but move something on a shelf and it's all questions! :)

I had been using the HIK cube as interior cams and been quite happy with them. However, I wanted to try the Dahua version, but the A35 also adds in the PTZ functionality. Personally, I think it's a much more discreet looking camera. Where the HIK cube is quite noticeable, the A35 is a...

If you mean WiFi, he does carry some models. I just picked up the IPC-A35 (in house, PTZ) that I'm running wirelessly and will likely pickup a few more (and I have no idea how he does it, it arrived before I even had time to explain to the wife why we need ANOTHER camera. :)

What if you swing your camera up more? You're capturing the actual door it self appears and the entire landing outside your door, but you really need to just capture the traffic coming up TO the landing. The IR appears to be hitting around the area of the bikes. If you move it up more...
