    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    I have this exact same issue with a camera. I emailed @EMPIRETECANDY pictures and he wants me to try a factory reset but I am sure this isnt going to fix it. I have to drive to the site to do it tomorrow (it's at my church). I have 2 others from the same batch from Andy that do not exhibit...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Signal Loss Issues

    Ok so the ping test showed no interruptions except for the scheduled weekly reboot on the camera at 4:08am. And BI still showed hundreds of signal loss events in the log overnight. Now that we are back to daytime the signal loss counter is not increasing. So is it safe to assume this is false...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Signal Loss Issues

    Ok will do that next. But for those interested it is a JGS516PE switch which has 15w per port total power available 85 watts. I have 4 starlight and a Ubiquity AP. I'm nowhere near the PoE limit. The other switch powering the other LPR exhibiting the same issue at another location is a...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Signal Loss Issues

    I disabled IR on the cameras and no change. Still receiving signal loss counts which did not occur during the daytime. So that rules out IR causing the issue.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Signal Loss Issues

    I understand. I will do as you suggest but the runs pass with a cable tester. The cams that have problems are run legths 20', 60, and roughly 100'. I now have a total of 10 cams and the only 3 that exhibit this issue are the Z12s. What are the power requirements of Z12 with IR on? I will...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Signal Loss Issues

    All cameras are powered by Netgear PoE switches. Using Cat5e UTP cable dont remeber the brand but its solid copper. Yes using 568B standard. This goes for cams. Are you thinking something along the lines of faulty power since the Z12s have 4 IRs? Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Signal Loss Issues

    Hi. While trying to troubleshoot my LPR motion issues I have noticed I am getting a lot of signal loss counts in Blue Iris for my LPR cameras which are the 5231 Z12 cameras. The signal loss counts only occur at night time after being switched to night profile and the normal image is black...

    LPR motion settings

    I put one of my starlight turrets in manual mode and forced it to display a black image. The bit rate doesn't drop below 225 kB/s. and no signal loss logs. So why are all 3 of my LPR cameras dropping signal at night? There is no common denominator other than the user (me) and the cameras...

    LPR motion settings

    Well I can confirm that as soon as night time hit and the LPRs just show black images the bitrate dropped and I get No signal logs in BI. Can anybody confirm that this is normal for LPRs when viewing a black image? P.S the bitrate is set at 4096 as requested

    LPR motion settings

    They are cbr. I just remoted into the site that has internet and changed the LPR cams to 4096 and cleared and reset the stats. I will report back. When I have time later today I'll do all the cams. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    LPR motion settings

    All my cams are 2mp starlights and all were running the same bitrate and 25fps frame rate (and iframe). I can lower the bitrate to 4096 if you think that should help. How will it effect image quality? The cams are being powered by PoE switches, and I've tried different ports. Of the 3 LPRs...
