    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Hey guys; fresh install of windows 10 on an Intel nuc d54250wyk. No tweaks to OS done, only Blue Iris and Blue Iris Tools running. Added this cam, with the wizard, all default settings. BI is at 100% cpu. Is my nuc too slow or do i have to configure the cam better? Ive read that direct to disk...

    So i got my Zyxel GS1920-24HP (24 port PoE switch, both ieee802.3af and at) bought it second hand for 200 euro instead of 350 online. Now here comes the fun part. It was DOA, didnt boot up.

    @mat200 you are missing one very important part; see below: 3.5) BEFORE you crimp the RJ45 connector, add the waterproof sealing so you can weatherproof-seal your RJ45 connection

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

    For a cam in this price range i am expecting that it just should work. Does anybody else experience bad auto tracking during the night? In my case i would set motion triggers to move to a preset but i do would appreciate that auto tracking works.

    DST is always the last sunday on march and last sunday of october here, but if you say DST is flaky then i wont use it. Does blue iris adds timestamp overlay which does work?

    I already foresee 3 of these. I will power my SD59 with the provided adapter since i am going to use the external microphone. I have a Zyxel GS1920-24 port gigabit switch. I am thinking of adding a Zyxel GS1900-8HP to this. It is a gigabit PoE+ 802.3af/at switch and has 8 gigabit ports, all with...

    He ships once a week in bulk, probably on Friday or in the weekend. And even if it is marked as shipped, it might not mean that the package is actually picked up. Rest assured; if you want to know more, contact him directly on AliExpress via Web Based Chat; i just did and he replied within a minute.

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

    So after scouring this forum for a couple of weeks now, i think i have a pretty good idea of the gear that i want, but i need you guys review before i buy it :) Back of the house / garden: I've bought the SD59225U-HNI to cover all of my backyard which is 55ft (16 meter) wide by 34ft (10 meter)...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    So i've finally bitten the bullet. I was doubting between the HDW5231R-Z and the SD52C225U-HNI for my front door. I've talked to @EMPIRETECANDY via AliExpress and this shows again what a great guy he is. For now i've bought the HDW5231R-Z (with bracket PFB203W), and should it provide...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    I see that the SD59225U-HNI has the same 4.8mm~120mm focal length as this recessed dome, so i can mount the SD59 at the front of the house and see if the view would be 'enough' for me. The focal length of the IPC-HDW5231R-Z is 2.7mm~12mm; so based on this test i will make my choice.
