    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    if your nvr is poe then they would work with it. The issue is the camera has to be configured to work with it. You go into the adapter properties on the computer and instead of selecting auto find ip and dns you set it for an ip range that is the same as the camera and then you would be able to...

    cant connect to starlight :(

    I have been in your shoes and what he is telling you is 100 percent correct. get a Poe switch to power the camera and plug the camera directly into the computer. Find what the default subnet is for the camera and go into the network adapter on your computer and set a static IP address for the...

    I have to say I really love these starlight light cameras. Bullet up top and turret down below. Playing with the settings. I just might leave this one color. Both taken at the same time. Now I just need to get the motion settings down and ill be good to go. Besides still needing one more camera!

    Anyone have an idea of what is the best audio settings for this camera and blue iris? It picks up voices fine but when nothing is happening it really is quite horrible. It's like listening to a bad mp3 file that screeches.
