Thanks for the link.

My main cam is the Dahua IPC-T5442TM-AS . Should I have the cam do the motion triggers (I use line crossing) or set up Blue Iris to do the triggers?

Thanks to all for your responses. I'm glad I'm good to move forward with a Blue Iris purchase. I'll have a lot of reading to do here re the install and setup, but it should be worth the system change!

My son passed on to me his old PC. If it could run BI reliably I could move my IP cam's video off of my NAS, which would gain me needed space on that device. I've been running QNAP's QVR-Pro for the past few years. My only cost might be to add memory, I already have a purple storage HD. The PC...

Can you send me a link to the latest firmware update for the Dahua IPC-HFW1831C-PIR ? Currently on IPC-HX2X3X firmware: V2.800.0000010.0.R, Build Date: 2019-08-07 I had purchased this camera directly from you a few years ago. thanks

Instead of a camera watching a control panel why not monitor the water temp directly with a wireless thermometer? I'm not familiar with a specific model, but here's one; many others on the market. https://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Wireless-926-251031-HT-Monitor-Accessory/dp/B0081URKJU

Did the .10 firmware update. Big plus for me is that the cam's email notifications now work! I never could get the cam to connect to either Yahoo or Gmail's smtp servers prior to this update. Big negative: Cam's pw field will not accept a Win paste command. I have a long random pw and must...

Great. Thanks for the responses.

After a firmware upgrade I see that it's recommended to do a camera reset. Does a restore to factory default through the cam's webpage suffice, or would I have to get on a ladder, open up the camera and then hold the reset button (next to the SD card slot) down? After that I would have to...

I'd like to get this mini ptz for my backyard, but I'm unclear as to what parts I would need to mount it. Dahua does not list a ceiling junction box model on this cam's spec sheet. DH-SD1A404XB-GNR PTZ data sheet My mounting location would be on the soffit shown here, just to the right of the...

Darn, I had forgotten that this is only available with a 2.8 lens. I need a POE indoor cam with an 80 deg HFOV. Otherwise I' would've purchased this.

VorlonFrog, thanks for that info.

Is it possible to pull the front casing off of the camera so that it would be easier to paint? The white color would make the camera really stick out when sitting on my dark wood-stained end table.

Aristobrat, thanks for the info.. I downloaded exarkun's 10.0 version and my cam upgraded with no issues. After extracting the file there was a text file which did list our model camera, so I felt secure proceeding. Thanks again to both of you.

I also would like a confirmation of the correct firmware for this camera, model # IPC-HFW1831C IPC-HX2X3X firmware listed a couple of times in this string seems odd to me as the file name does not match up in any way with our camera model number. The ending string of numbers do match up...

The problem wasn't getting the card properly seated. I wasn't able to get the SD card inserted even to the halfway point without it feeling jammed in improperly. Normally a card will slide in smoothly after it's just lined up at the proper angle. After trying a few times over a few days I...

Has anyone been able to get a micro SD card inserted into this camera? I cannot get it to slide in easily, and am afraid of forcing it and getting it jammed. Looking at the cam from the rear, the manual indicates the notched side should be on the right side when inserting, while the embossed...

Thanks to all for your responses. Great forum here! And I may purchase both cams mentioned. I will purchase the IPC-HFW1831C-PIR camera for my kitchen area. I also need another interior camera that sits pointing towards my front door, but this cam would need to be wifi. And I want an ~80deg...

I've been reading through this site over the past month or so. Plenty of info on outdoor cameras, but very little regarding indoor ones. I want to start with purchasing an indoor camera, this summer I'll look to add a few outdoor models when and if I can get the network cable run. Below is a...
