    Dahua N4104-P (Ex China) - firmware upgrade - risks?

    I brought one of these from Ali and recently upgraded the firmware from the Dahua site and it was fine actually it was more than fine it was great as the new firmware allows you to directly access the cams interface and from there the SD card recording my system version is 3.203.0000.0.R I...

    Comparison of IPC-HFW5231E-Z and IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    Great comparison, in my opinion the 4431 has a much sharper image and better contrast than the 5231 in the daytime pics - on the rocks next to the tank you can see all the little pits and texture as opposed to being smooth the 5231 is brighter but it certainly isn't sharper on my monitor

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    I have just discovered I have the cheaper older? 4104p and not the 4104p-4sk2, 5m as opposed to 8m camera support and dual core as opposed to quad. Correction, Actually while the firmware file is much smaller for my NVR(13meg and 40 meg respectively ) it does in fact support camera web...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    I have just checked on the dahua site and the firmware notes for my 4101p says one of the new functions is IPC Visiting which I think you are referring to. Will try to download it tomorrow. Hope it works because that will be really good.

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    Thanks for the offer, hopefully one day (waiting for useless NBN to connect me up) I will get a new VSDL modem so the router I have now will be doing nothing

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    No my suggestion doesn't work as you cant assign the same subnet, I have tried some of the posters solutions here and cant get any of them to work - perhaps I am doing it wrong? all I really want to do is access my SD card data

    Accessing camera SD card through NVR web interface?

    Forgive me if this has been posted before as I cant seem to find anything, I got my Dahua camera a few weeks back but the SD card slot was missing the metal cover, I managed to find the exact type and ordered 10 of them and luckily managed to fit the cover without having to resolder a complete...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    I was wondering, With my new Dahua 4 channel poe NVR (4104p) under the Network Tab there is a Switch setting which seems to control the cameras subnet IP, can I just change this to another address - one that I can access the cameras through my web browser? (cant seem to see any "virtual host")

    Firmware not upgradable

    I mounted the dome out of the box, but they come with raw plugs for walls which as useless for the boards under the eaves so I use the ramset toggles for plasterboards I can only not recommend one seller on Ali (see my post) they sent me a faulty (firmware?) camera, I paid $36 AUD to send it...

    Next best thing under 100$ to Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    It all depends on the application for me I don't need night-time - unless I want sharper wildlife images, That's why the cheap daytime ones are fine I'm more worried about daytime with someone turning up in a car I used to like the bullet cams best but now I have gone off them as yet again I...

    Next best thing under 100$ to Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Thanks, so you have to ask for the international versions such as from here? http://www1.dahuasecurity.com/au/search_category.html I am mystified why they make so many cameras that are very similar

    Next best thing under 100$ to Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I am not familiar with the threads, but on a search I have found this for $250 Dahua HAC-HDBW2220R-Z - probably only 2M and at only 2.5x the price and this for $280 IPC-HFW4300EP forgive my but I think I will pass on these bargains

    Next best thing under 100$ to Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Well the same/similar cameras here in Aus appear to be 3x the price do you want to spend $300+ on a camera you can get from ebay or Ali for $100 with the same picture quality

    Can't get motion detection to work

    I would but that means I have to do a lot of farking around - and it usually ends in me getting frustrated why it does not work anymore - I have seen it before on the net though so will try to find it what I have to do is connect the camera to the router directly (+ a poe plug) and then set the...

    I don't think i will be buying from E & M tech again

    A few months ago now I ordered a IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS which seems to work fine, but I decided a SD card cam for the driveway would be a better idea and ordered a IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS This camera drove me crazy for about a week, it would work, then it wouldn't work, had to keep resetting it - something...

    Can't get motion detection to work

    No SquareEyes, I meant the running plot that looks a bit like a spectrum analysis - you can see the detection response as a live graph and adjust settings accordingly - cant seem to do that in the NVR web version Even though I prefer the bullets to the dome, the domes don't suffer spider webs...

    Can't get motion detection to work

    Yes you are a genius, that was the problem, I have a cobweb already handing in front of one of the cameras swaying in the wind and that is setting it off, so will need a bit of playing around. shame they don't have the cameras motion live plot on the NVR interface

    SOLVED: Dahua Cam: Recording to SD card doesn't work. Why?

    I doubt it because I've used 3 different cables and just unpacked a brand new one for mounting it I haven't had any problems with the turret, I'm thinking I should just mount that instead

    SOLVED: Dahua Cam: Recording to SD card doesn't work. Why?

    I have finally got my SD card to start working (by doing nothing new) but it creates lots of DAV files, they range from 1 - a few Meg - so really 1 min and under Is there a setting I'm missing or is it just a part of the dodgy firmware?

    just received the dome one you have mentioned above from E&M (the postage is much quicker than the others as still waiting for an NVR that was ordered from another company 10 days prior) and I have been playing with the video settings and a SD card but now I cannot log into it from my browser...
