    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    If you run into this problem just get some of the spray foam and fill the gap. I have only had one of them up a few days and no issues yet.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I did look at that but since it did not point out the actual mic on the camera I thought it might not show the extra plugs if in fact there were any.

    Never had a camera with a built in microphone and none of the pictures in this thread actually show the end of the wires that come out of the camera. if this is a separate plug and those that are using BI how are you connecting it to the computer?

    i doubt that there is anyone on this forum that wants to have cameras more than Andy himself. That is his business. He wants to sell as many cameras as he possibly can. Cut the guy some slack and just know he is trying to get stock and get everyone as many cameras as they want. I am eventually...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    you should follow Nayr's advice and plug the camera directly into a computer Ethernet port. go into the adapter settings of the computer and change it to something within the same IP area as the camera .. like 192.168.1.111 do not change the dns or anything just the ip. Then in the browser go to...

    i plan on getting a turret or two and am wondering if my cables are able to be pushed into the wall or attic (depending on the location) is it still necessary to go through the trouble of terminating the cat5 and running it inside the weather proof ends like in the picture above.
