    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5)

    Would the IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 perform better at night without making adjustments (auto) vs the IPC-HFW5431E-Z? I am torn between the two now. I want to be able to read plates at ~100ft on a residential street with streetlights.

    should i set up cameras with static or dhcp?

    I use DHCP reservations just because its easy for me. Guess the only downside is if the camera was to reboot and your DHCP server was down.

    POE inconsistency

    I am running UniFi Switch 16 POE-150W with 9 Dahua cameras and all work fine. I did not change any port settings, just plugged the cameras in. Did have something odd happen recently during a storm where I lost POE. The switch never lost power and it was still switching just no POE. Rebooted the...

    Networking Issue

    The switch is fine. Are the other routers also cheap linksys models? May not hurt to get a better AP like Ubiquiti.

    Dahua 4MP 25mm LPR Modification

    Ok thanks now I feel stupid. I just checked and they are indeed only $10 difference. The Z model was listed for $299 up until recently but now its 199.99. I've had it in my wish list and was just about to order for $299 until i saw the Z5 get listed for $190. Sorry for the confusion.

    Dahua 4MP 25mm LPR Modification

    Thanks...I did notice the difference but wasn't sure if that actually was $100 of differences. From what I can tell the Z5's lens is also motorized its just different description.

    Dahua 4MP 25mm LPR Modification

    @nayr Hate to ping you but do you know why the HFW5431E-Z $100 more than the HFW5431E-Z5? It seems that the Z5 should be more? I was about to order the Z but now I'm leaning towards the Z5. Thanks!

    Issues running ethernet cable next to furnace vent/stack

    Sounds like a good place to me. As kevkmartin said it may be a good idea to use plenum cable. If you dont own a set of glow rods I would pick up a set.

    Need Router Recommendation

    Main reason is because it integrates with my unifi switch and AP. All of the traffic data and configuration you can do with the unifi controller does not work with the edgerouter. The USG gives me everything I needed that i couldn't do with my airport. From what I've read the hardware may be...

    Blue iris remote

    I agree with bp2008. I just wanted to see if they had actually put you in the DMZ as they said. Also with the double nat it will be more difficult to configure.

    Blue iris remote

    M4TTDUFFY. You may start by plugging the blue iris server directly into the LTE router and see if you can get it working that way first. Since that router is issuing private IP addresses it must be performing NAT. Without being able to configure the LTE router you may be SOL.

    Blue iris remote

    The problem is that you have a double NAT. Is this internet connection only for the blueiris system?

    Does your wr841n have a public IP address or was it issued a private IP by the lte router/modem?

    Blue Iris Support Issues

    I was having some crashing issues but I believe it was due to the intel video driver like fenderman said. Check your intel video driver version. If you provide the specs on your PC we may be able to help more.
