    Just ordered from from your Amazon US store. Hope it works with SmartPSS - I know, I'm ghetto.

    Newbie PoE question on Dahua Starlight IP Cam

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    Ordered Thursday from Andy and got it today in western Canada :). Had alittle trouble getting the new IP to take but it did after a few tries and is now watching my two Webers. Nice cam!

    Newbie PoE question on Dahua Starlight IP Cam

    I use a POE+ switch with this splitter/extender to run three cams off one Cat5e. It replaced a cheaper one from AliExpress that broke after 5 months. I didn't anticipate multi-cams at that location so just had the one Cat5e - as long as you can stash the splitter/extender somewhere, it can...

    Which Dahua's?

    Rough in your front door camera at head height so you get faces. I see the tops of heads all day. I got a 5231 and like it lots....great image for front walkway. Feel I can ID peple. Have a IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS coming from Andy. Has some nice specs at a nice price. Thought 8 channels would be...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Thanks, good to know. My other cams focus alot faster so I wasn't sure. The picture quality is pretty great - covers my front walkway.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Mine was underneath a soffit and pretty protected but gave up the ghost after about 6 months. I took a chance - best to use these indoors. 5231 is a nice cam though mine focuses slowly....probably a setting issue.

    IPC-HDW5231RP-Z , cant access 192.168.1.108

    Try to detect it using Smart PSS. Config Tool didn't work for me on the last camera I bought but Smart PSS was able to detect it without the need to change the computer's IP.

    IPC-HDW4431C-A and POE Switch

    I bought that cam for a non-critical use - it works for what I need it for but not something I'd consider for a primary camera. Firmware is a bit funky - I'm having trouble with motion detection. I believe the 1320s has stock English updateable firmware and should work ok.

    DH-IPC-HFW1320S-W issues

    I used a spare 12v adapter too but the center pin wasn't contacting so had to give it some friendly pursuasion.

    Considering Dahua over Hikvision for home system

    My front door area is quite small so yes, I see tops of heads. Being your home is new, likely your porch area is quite a bit larger but I guess your low voltage guy has his usual preference. The 12v power wire parallel with network cable is a great idea. One of my Dahuas will not power up with...

    Considering Dahua over Hikvision for home system

    Very good list above of things to do for new construction. I regret not knowing enough to have the front door cam positioned properly for face ID and microphone related stuff installed. Dahua has worked well for me - I don't see a heck of a lot of difference between Dahua and Hikvision but I'm...
