    Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z

    Thanks. However, when I try to change the IP address on the IP camera, it gives me a "password error" message and refuses to change. When I try to change the password for the camera, it gives me a "connection failed" error. Tried to disable my firewall completely but this did not resolve the...

    Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z

    Okay, so I was able to finally get the Config Tool to determine the IP address of my cameras thanks to looney2ns's instructions. However, I'm still unable to access the IP address in my web browser. Do I need to change the IP address of the camera first?

    Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z

    Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z

    I'll try that to make sure the cameras are actually turning on. If they're not, is there some button or switch I need to flick to power them on? I don't think the PoE switch is the problem.

    Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to IP cameras and a bit technologically illiterate. I purchased two Dahua HDW5231R-Z cameras after lurking on these forums along with a PoE switch and a used PC to be used as an NVR. The cameras are connected to the PoE switch (which is connected to my router/modem)...
