I have a bunch of Dahua HDBW4231F-AS Minidome camera's which are EoL but have been pretty good (these are used for interior only situations). I need to install several more mini-domes, and want to know what model number I should be looking at? Must be PoE, needs to have microphone for audio...

Thanks for feedback; Confirmed both cams on H264, Smart Codec off. Also tried just Intel (no VPP) for the decode. I do see the firmwares are different (the one where HA is NOT working is actually a newer firmware) between this and other camera's. I will need to see if I can downgrade and if...

I have 22 total Dahua Camera's, about 15 of which are the IPC-HDBW4231F-AS mini-dome's No matter what I seem to try, there is ONE of these cam's that doesnt seem like want to use hardware acceleration; when I look at the Blue Iris status page, every camera has an I or I+ listed except for this...

I need this. Not sure for what, but I need it.

I’m using Dahua mini domes and love them. Have a bunch in the house covering stairs and hallways.

All 21 of my Dahua cams work great on the BI app for my iphone 11pro max running the latest version of iOS (see what I did there)

Really strange indeed. I will try again holding the reset button for 1+ minute to see if it can just stay on the .1.108 address instead of the loop. I'm also on a Unifi network setup. I've even tried moving the camera to a different port just to see if it was the switch acting up but not. Maybe...

I dont know whats going on, but as of yesterday, I have a Dahua mini Dome Camera (HDBW4231FP-AS) doing the exact same thing... the normal static IP for this particular camera is 192.168.245.4 ... it will go to that IP, then switch to 192.168.1.251 ... back and forth in a loop, not long enough...

What a great thread that has been resurrected. I had always left my Audio settings as the default on my Dahua cams, but looking into this thread now, AAC encoding is available on all my Dahua cams (mix of Domes, Turret & Bullets), which is a superior codec to G711. I also turned off noise...

So far so good. All cams but one working as expected. Still troubleshooting the one camera but I’m getting close. Thx for the feedback and help so far!

Well, so far its been 22 hrs, and everything seems ok. Per some other recommendations, I tweaked a few things, as follows: 3 of my 20 camera's did not have DTD enabled, so I fixed that. I also tweaked frame rates from the camera's to lower slightly. Updated all drivers/firmware on my...

Yes, switch is on a UPS. Its the Unifi 48port 750w switch. So it has more than enough power. I can monitor draw for a few days. But not sure I understand night vs day question, the "No Signal" issue I'm experiencing isnt tied to a specific time frame or time in the day/night, other than it...

Got it, thanks for clarifying. Yes, BI Computer is on same switch as camera's. No, when tracing network path, it would go Camera <-> Switch <-> Computer (and the WD Purple hard drives where everything is stored are inside the computer, not using a separate NAS)

Yes, separate LAN (and protected by VPN per recommendations here) Not 100% sure what you mean by data pass through router? its through my switch. I have a Ubiquiti Unifi POE switch for all camera's. I will check my other switch and and see if I can swap Screen shots attached. Everything is...

So far, Official BlueIris support hasnt been much help at all to me. Every 2-3 days, I am getting a "No Signal" error suddenly on ALL my camera's. Not really sure what is causing it . All of my camera's (20) are Dahua brand. Mix of bullet, dome and turret. They are all POE camera, all of them...

Your build is sounding more and more like mine. I also have all Ubqiuiti Unifi gear. Its amazing, you will not be disappointed! Being able to monitor it all with the mobile app is so easy. In my case, Cat 6A was total overkill (and I suspect for you too). Cat6 is more than you will ever...

My house is also 3 stories... basement, ground floor and 2nd floor. Each floor about 2,000sf of floor area. Also, I have about a dozen Dahua mini-domes INSIDE the house cause I wanted interior coverage too. Depending on your exterior material, the camera's will barely be noticed. I have a...

You should email or PM Andy (I usually email) him. I can tell you that I've been SUPER happy with my combination of HDW5231R-ZE and HFW8331E-Z5E to cover my exterior from all angles, etc (granted my property is a rectangle, so it makes it somewhat easy). 2-way audio was not something I cared...

I'm still waiting another little while before going to BI5. New software is always buggy at first and I dont like being a beta tester personally (Some people love it)

I need this to be a good camera, so cost long as not talking in the thousands is not the main consideration

I have a 16 camera setup, Dahua mini-domes on the inside of my house, and a mix of IPC-HDW2231R-ZS and IPC-HDW5231-ZE on the outside. I now need to add 2 more camera's, but these need to include motion tracking. They will be exterior camera's, must be powered by POE. Need good night time...

So here's my journey, so far, to Dahua. About 15 months ago I started building a new home in West Los Angeles. Brand new, 6,000sf house (3 levels) on a 6,500sf lot. Typical urban setting in LA. My computer/network/IT knowledge is ok, but security-wise, I was in the world of Nest cam's...

The One & Only

Just emailed you a request for 16 cam's!

Yes, I have 2, and in some places 3, CAT6 cables already run to every possible location (and some locations I dont need today but may in the future). I over cabled like crazy since the cost of doing it was marginal. It seems like the Doorstation model being recommended to me is good. But...

So I am building a new house, after lots of research/debate of Dahua vs Hikvision vs other brands, I've decided to go all Hikvision as I believe their camera lines, support, ease of use (for wife especially) will best suit my needs. Inside the house, I want all mini-dome camera's. The spec...

Thanks very much for the feedback. To respond to a lot of your feedback and add some more clarifications- The camera system is going to be part of a larger home automation system (Control4). This is a custom home build for myself, so I can do anything/everything I want, exactly how I want. Of...

I am building a new home, want to purchase a total of 16 camera's for my security system, as follows: 5 Exterior Camera's 11 Interior Camera's Requirements: 1) All Camera's must be PoE 2) For the 11 interior camera's, I want vari-focal dome or turret style style ... something with good...
