Thanks @Smilingreen. Much appreciated. I've got a few 12V relays about and will be pulling the cam down to validate. Like you, after some thought, I'm wondering if the output is only powered when the cam uses external power (i.e. not POE). Tinkering will tell. Space is limited to my camera...

My older Qolsys IQ2 panel took a dump after 6 years, so I updated to an IQ4 last week. I've purchased a few door/window sensors (wireless for those unaware) that have terminals for external contacts and I've setup a few around the house to be "monitor only" (i.e. side gate opens triggering...

Probably trying to flash the wrong firmware. What version are you trying?

I ran quite a few Axis IP PTZ cameras starting back in the beginning (around 2011). Now these were $3K-4K cameras at 720P resolution and simply amazing for the time. They were great in the day and accessible in the US. Now I know of Andy, I my entire flet is Dahua and I'll never go back.

Just use your signature. It lists all your cameras.

I too use my BI Server and NetTime as the NTP time source for all my cams. Zero open ports in todays world.

Alright. No clue what happened. I powered off for 10+ minutes, pushed reset on the cam in that period (to drain capacitance if present), cleared my cache, and I got in. Straight up no clue what happened there.

So I flashed General_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_Eng_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.1.R.190706 into my IPC-B5442E-ZE from Andy's link here , and now I can't log in? I can do a factory reset at the camera, go through the initialization, get the login screen, but once I add the new credentials, it hangs without...

Good golly mis Molly. Noticed the service wasn't working any more, and to my amazement, the error log was 54GB. Deleted without even looking. Oops. Jumped to V1.6.0.0 and I can't connect to any camera (HDW2231RP's, HDW5231R's, or SD1A203T-GN)? I'm consistantly getting "The remote server...

I like the "I caught these guys last night" on Nextdoor with my respone of "you observed them, no one was caught and they won't be with grainy poor angle crappy night video" . And as you, share sone 2MP starlight samples. That always gets people worked up.

Not new to Dahua IP cams and have read the wiki 100x. Just got an IPC-B5442E-ZE to augment my system from Andy's Amazon store. Powered her up via POE switch, and all was well. Changed the IP, grabbed the MAC, reset, and all was fine. Stepped away and powered her up again and can't get an...

I've been do looping Step 0. It it time to step out of the loop?

I understand running two cables to each location, and have two CAT5 cables in this location. I wanted to save the extra as the intended backup. Apparently two cables are pointless if one were to exceet 802.3at which allows for 25.5W max over the cable and an illuminator exceeds that. But...

I want to throw an IR ulliminator next a camera. The cam gets power from my switch and I was thinking of using splitters and wall wart to power the illuminator. How many amps (or watts) can you run through CAT5? And, will this work? Are the "two" power feeds on separate pairs?

The way I read your post, you used an external power source to configure and set DHCP, then unplugged the external power source and the cameras stopped working. Without POE or the external power source, would you expect the cameras to work? Are you saying they don't work with the external power...

My 'hate" of auto tracking. If you have trees and wind. I track objects up my walkway and once the target leaves, the camera goes nuts watching the trees move. I gave up.

I'm 15 on both on fps and iframe all cameras. Just verified since i questioned myself. CBR @4096 H274. Im stumped. Im using nettime and clocks are all spot on too. It seems to be about 4-5 seconds between tne clip still photo/trigger lime and the actual trigger. The timeline seems to be off...

So I'm continuoisly recording during all profiles with triggers set during certain profiles. The triggers are working, but the clips themselves seen to flag/start late. Using highlight I can tell the trigger is detecting motion at the correct time, and the Clip still photo shows the initial...

Didnt know where elso to post, so doing it here. Thanks everyone! New system up and running for a week or so now thanks to the info here, Andy, eBay, and Google. The hardest part so far was figuring out how to tunnel two switches to combine vLANs across the entire network. My house is more...

I have 6 2MP cameras right now at 15 fps on an Optiplex 3040, i5-6500 with 8MB ram. 14% cpu usage and I think that is using RDP so it's probably lower. Read the wiki. Stay away from cpus with letters on then end (from what I've read here). Got mine new in box off ebay for under $300 USD.

I was just writing to @EMPIRETECANDY about this. Change to English is easy. PM me if needed. Bigger question New cameras delivered today also: System Version2.640.101Z000.0.T, Build Date: 2018-07-04 WEB Version3.2.1.583791 My 2231 I purchased a few weeks ago is System...

Question? Reflashed my router with Tomato tonight for some vlan segmenting, and remembered the Wiki suggests blocking easy4IP derivitives. Out of curiosity, I went to see what easy4ip was. It appears that easy4ip.com is now lechange.com . Is this something that is needing to be added to the...

Thank you @bp2008. I was wondering how to do this and stumbled on the tread in the Cliff Notes. Love it!

Check out this link. Invaluable in determining mounts. https://www.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upload/download/Accessory_Selection_201712294.pdf

Bingo. There it is!!! Thank you!

Where are you folks getting #'s from in the zoom (i.e. 135, 600,...)? I have a slider with a speed setting. That's all I see on my 5231's and 2231's?
