    Dahua H2.65 IPC-HFW4431R-Z 2.8mm ~12mm

    Yes me. I loaded the firmware you mention above...I still had it calling back to China. Posted back in that thread and nothing. I used my internal firewall to block the 2 cameras I have. I will be replacing them in the future as to me the CPU in them are slow. They are great camera's for the...

    IVS and Autotracking on Dahua SD59225U-HNI PTZ

    Setup SmartPlan first. If you are having problems with that then post. Here is a shot of a working setup for me. You can set different plans for different presets

    Dahua SD59225U-HNI

    I would uncheck PTZ if you are just trying to autotrack. Also using: PTZ>Function>Inteligence>Autotrack works but isn't nearly as reliable as using a smartplan with IVS in my experience. By reliable I mean false alarms. If you are going to use it for that driveway shot. I would use IVS...

    Dahua HTTP API

    That was my problem as well. I ended up having to go through my BlueIris server. I know that's not an option for everyone....but I'd still like to be able to do it on the camera.

    Trigger PTZ preset through BI web interface

    I did try...that thread confused me because I was trying to do this from OUTSIDE of BI from my smartthings hub. However...that helps tremendously...as I finally found in there: http://{BI ip address}:{port}/cam/{cam_short_name}/preset=2 works exactly like I wanted. THANK YOU!!!!!

    Trigger PTZ preset through BI web interface

    From what I can tell in the original documentation I can only see a way to trigger PTZ up/down/left/right and not a way to trigger the camera to go directly to a preset. Is this possible and does anyone know what the URL would be? Trying to trigger from my smarthome to move a ptz to a preset...

    Snowstorm time lapse

    Mind sharing which ones didn't work? I want to but have yet to go down this road as I haven't decided if I want to do IR or white led. In this case thermal would be awesome...but.

    Snowstorm time lapse

    From Christmas Eve through the morning of Dec. 27, Erie's snow total was an astounding 65.1 inches. A stationary lake-effect snow band off Lake Erie dumped an incredible 34 inches of snow at Erie Airport on Christmas Day alone, with an additional 26.5 inches on Dec. 26. Erie, Pennsylvania, Has...

    Snowstorm time lapse

    Made these a bit ago. Bit of PITA for my first time trying to figure out how to do 3 days worth of a timelapse. The software I used didn't do the video any favors...but...it did work in the end. Both of these 5231r-z Yes...this would have been that blizzard that was all over the news in...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Quick question. Was setting this up with no issues until I got to my IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE. Everytime I click "Get Current Zoom/Focus" nothing happens. Checked, double, triple checked IP/port login info. However this camera has NO zoom....so I'm wondering... is that the problem?

    BI Time lapse export

    That works (well checking that box does) when exporting 1 clip. Actually, I can check that box when exporting 1 clip...but it doesn't actually timelapse. It just exported the clip at the regular rate. However when you select multiple clips at once to export, there is no way to check that box...

    BI Time lapse export

    I live in the great northwest where we recently got hit with over 50" of snow in a few days. I'd like to make a time lapse out of this and noticed when I was trying to export (that's not working either) that there seems to be a time lapse export feature. However I can't seem to find what makes...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I'm going to try this. So far the only real complaint of this camera. The IR just seems off. Even the close IR seems to shoot too low. Then when I get up in zoom range the zoom IR just turns completely off (as others have mentioned). I'll keep playing :-)

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    So far autotrack during the day seems to do a pretty darn good job. At night I haven't seen the same kind of luck. And the IR is very odd and has the same issues I've see others report. The focused IR turns off once I get above about 20x. I'm using Smart IR right now. Maybe I just don't...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    That is what I understand. Luckily I'm hoping it works well enough for 4 legged animals during the day in the field.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I got the camera last week and haven't had a lot of time with but enough that so far I'm very happy. The last thing I want to do is build a small roof over it as it currently hangs out in the open and I think that keeping the rain off of it and away from the IR will help during the snow/rain...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    Just ordered #2. Apparently I have WAY too many wired devices in my lan and adding all these cameras isn't helping. I know I'm slacking on the video for the switch. I'm working on it.

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    There is a switch a posted a few posts back the "Intellinet" it can do BOTH as in be powered off the uplink port FROM a Poe switch and also provided POE power. It also has the option to add an AC adapter to power it from a wall outlet. However I'm not sure what you are looking for because if...

    Just setup my 2nd 5231R-Z as a driveway cam!

    More confused now. Wouldn't the pigtail be more protected inside the house vs in the mount? Or am I just missing the fact you didn't want to drill that large of a hole in the side of the house to fit the connector?

    Just setup my 2nd 5231R-Z as a driveway cam!

    What is the added benefit to the bracket vs just attaching it directly to the side of the house?

    Mobile App (Android) Stopped Working

    same problem. I have to manually force close the BI android app all the time just to get a feed. Just assumed the app was that bad and not that it was related to my specific device. (Pixel 2 XL and previous Pixel XL)

    Ditto. In fact I wish it had the number of the profile it was in when it triggered.

    Trash Guy weirdness

    That was pretty much my thought...thanks...but no thanks. I have no idea who the couple is either so they aren't residents at least nearby. Yes and no. CAM2 was supposed to be dedicated for that trash/ups drop off area. That's where my packages get dropped all the time. I have another shot...

    Trash Guy weirdness

    Pretty sure this guy was just being "nice" and pickup up trash off the street along his walk...However. VERY bizzare you would pick a random house and dump your bag in the trash can. Also please do critique camera placements/suggestions. CAM1 CAM2 CAM3

    Dense persons guide to the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z

    ^^^^^^^^^ and here I was thinking I was crazy wanting 2 crossing cameras for my driveway. Thanks for the confirmation I headed down the right path. In addition I have one zoomed in along the house covering a very tight path across the garage doors and where my trash is and packages from UPS get...
