try a factory reset if you haven't already. If you crack open it as you would to install a micro sd card I'd look for any loose / disconnected connectors.Well, out of the 3 HDW5231R-Z's that I just received, one has IR lights that don't work. Tried everything but can't get them to come on. Running the latest firmware. Anyone else having this issue?
Have you set one of these up? Unlike other managed switches, mine can't be set up to allow a port to access 2 VLANs, making it useless to isolate the cameras from the WAN while allowing the NVR to access the WAN. If there is a way to do this, I'd sure like somebody to tell me how. There might be a way to do it at level 3, but I really want to stay at level 2 and not have to become a network expert to configure the system.Cisco SF300 24PP with 24 ports POE and 2 gigabit upstream port managed switch with the ability to isolate the cameras to its own VLAN can be bought used on EBay for less than a new dumb 8 port POE switch...
That's a good idea. I will propose that and see if it flies.If you aren't in a super hot area, try painting it the same color as the house(i did). I've asked pretty much every person that has come to my house, and no one has said they noticed them until I mention it. If they aren't in your face height wise, I don't feel the turrents are THAT obvious.

I'm going through the same thought process. I have some areas where I still like the option of moving the camera, however in some areas, I'm turning off the IR on the Dahua, and using the camera that's there simply to generate the IR light. This way, I remove the false positives from snow and rain, and I have a backup (at least until the old cameras fail). The advanced low-light of the Dahua cameras get sooo much of a better image from the light from the old cameras, I wouldn't bother replacing them with a dedicated IR light until those also fail.Yes it does. I WAS happy with my old cameras. Now... they look like crap.
I'm trying to rationalize where it's OK to leave some of the older ones in place. With 16 cameras, this is going to be expensive.
I guess I can re-purpose some of the older ones as "broader overviews" to see "what" vs. "who"...
This is going to be expensive.
I tried that, but it's still a stream through rtsp, which Home Assistant seemed to on, I think because it's looking for http, not rtsp, but when I try changing the URL to http://$IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1 the camera returns an error page.you can set a substream to mjpeg

I have not used the SF300 yet, but based on past experience, you have to create a trunk (look up trunking). Alternatively, treat it as separate switches and create a routing table. Allow camera vlan1 to route to NVR vlan2, then drop all packets from vlan1 to internet uplink port.Have you set one of these up?

I found the image better with a 40mbps stream in mjpg than h264...note latest firmware seems to have removed MJPEG, Should consider replacing whatever crap that is that requires MJPEG.Code:http://hostname/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?subtype=1
Tried that, get a page that just says "404 Not Found", guess that's not a feature then.note latest firmware seems to have removed MJPEG, Should consider replacing whatever crap that is that requires MJPEG.Code:http://hostname/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?subtype=1
Is the weather adapter the wrong size for everyone? Mine doesn't fit the end of the ethernet plug through. I ended up tucking it all up inside the roof cavity but was wondering if this was normal or not.If you buy from Andy, he stands behind his product...
The only issue I've had with 2 of the 5 I've bought, is the weather plug for ethernet was the wrong size and wouldn't fit (too small)... it's such an easy work around and if that's the only problem I'm still making out vs other options.
I haven't experienced a single issue out of the 8 cameras I received. Without stating the obvious, the ethernet plug has to be terminated after feeding the cable through the rear of the weatherproof connector.Is the weather adapter the wrong size for everyone?
