    OMG Thermal!

    I'll chime in. I have a new affinity for the thermals. Love them. Have three TPC-DF1241-T-S8's. The -T version allows temperature alarms to be set, along with Fire Detection, Cold & Hot Spot Trace, Human & Vehicle Classification, Smoking Detection and Call Detection (on a thermal?). As I...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Didn't know that hard working dude would use one of the progress pics......! Wasn't out of there yet. Better. I have some video from the EI NVR of them actually working, in the real world. I'll put together a little "commercial" for the T-180.

    That PFA122 is slick. My new favorite J-Box. Waterproof to boot. So clean looking. All the Dahua accessories are.

    IP66 enough or go for IP67?

    This is from memory. (from phone specs) IP66: no submersion rating IP67 can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes IP68 can be submerged in 3 meters of water for 30 minutes Lower IP number = lesser protection. Either way, IP66 or IP67 is plenty for what they are subject to, IMHO...

    Trying to recover 2231R-ZS. Can still get an IP, not yet bricked

    Every time I've failed a reset, I didn't hold the button down long enough. Have seen just the partial reset and needed to hold it in longer. Use a robust 12V (3-5A) 3rd party power supply when powering up. I think I'm holding it down long enough. I've had to time it. SD

    IPC-Color4k-T question

    The color 4K's are impressive. The planters/flowers really pop on the dock. Sodium lights on the bullet killing the white balance. Great examples. Thanks for taking the time. Gotta love those 1.2" sensors.....

    IPC-Color4k-T question

    @wittaj Which 4K Full Color have the 1.2" CMOS? I can only find them in the 1.8", which is a worthy sensor in itself. Only the large SD8C845FG-HNF PTZ has the big sensor (IMX585) that I could find. Wish more had the 1/1.2". The 1.8 is excellent though, and the 1.2" is not cheap.

    Why Buy Dahua?

    I totally agree, but there are others that don't. They work as advertised for my intended use. I have 3x SD59's and an SD6AE in service and they are great. I also have 2x SD49's and they are impressive in low light as well. SD

    Why Buy Dahua?

    Hard to beat the SD49225T-HN for value (Dahua PTZ). No tracking of its SD59 big brother, but tracking doesn't work as well as everyone's expectations. The SD49 family (12x & 25x) is in the low $300 USD range, and the SD59's are $500+ USD. They use the same starlight sensor...

    PTZ Camera's PT Motor Frozen - Needed a Power Recycle

    Happened to my SD6AE240V-HNI here in Upstate NY during a freezing rain event. I was able to review the playback and watch exactly when it occurred. Recording from the mic sounded like the gear train "slipped" and all 6 presets were off after that. I assume cams of this quality have safeties...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Correct. Dahua no longer makes the "Z" model. The change is for the next generation 5231, as they increased the varifocal angles a hair on both ends, and added extended POE, for the same price. Better is subjective. Paper specs are better for the same price. It looks different as it has a...

    Connection issues with Dahua IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE

    Just had to do this for an (8x) - 4231EM-ASE camera install. 1 of them was acting this way, but after the reset, it's been up and running strong for 20+ days without issue. A few things. Careful with the watertight gasket. Reset it carefully in to the groove on the half of the camera...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231RP-Z install help requested

    I'm running this version without issue. I'm in the camp of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 2.460.0000.3.R, Build Date: 2017-01-05 Others have firmware OCD, and must upgrade. I have not read of any bricking incidents with upgrading the 5231's, although I'm sure it could happen if unlucky...

    Insane, is my middle name..... Just showing an example of a midspan to answer @Jim Pederson 's question. And of course you're right, @fenderman, a POE switch is less complicated, and less "mess" for a home install. I would never buy one brand new, because I'm not a huge corporation, but I do...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231RP-Z install help requested

    Worked on my latest 5x-5231 camera install over Easter weekend. 7th location so far, and have set up 25+ 5231RP-Z's. I have installed all NVR5216-16p-4ks2's for every customer thus far. I use a Win 10 laptop, and run IE11. I find it works the easiest with Dahua plugins. So after setting up so...

    Bullet Mic Review

    So we're on the same page: the camera and mic psu are both located in your basement and the mic is powered via Ethernet cable? @tangent That is correct, both power supplies plugged in to 2 individual basement 15A circuits. For 12V mic power, I used a 75' length of 24 AWG solid copper Cat5e UTP...

    Bullet Mic Review

    @tangent, I now have read the entire thread and your recommendations. Unfortunately I didn't before installing my mics and I wish I did. I would have taken precautions to minimize the ground loop. So, the cam is an SD59225. It is powered by a mid-span plugged in 20 feet from the mics power...

    My cable is long. The longest of the 3. Unfortunately, I can't shorten the run. It's about 75 feet long. I will research a low pass filter. Thanks for the tip. SD

    Bullet Mic Review

    I have had a hum before. I've used 5 of these mics in the last year on SD59's, SD49's and an SD6AE. I still think they are the best outdoor value mic out there, but will try a new just released Dahua HAP 120-V mic when I can get a hold of one. This was my issue. Quality 12V 5A 5 amp 60W DC...

    What bulk cable for 4k system?

    They will work fine, and your video quality will not be affected. If you don't want to "drill" larger holes, cut off the RJ45 and re-terminate after fishing the cable. Cat5e is fine. I have over 6000+ feet of this under my belt, and countless cameras installed all operating as intended...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I'm with @looney2ns on this. I have vinyl soffit, and I've put a bunch of 5231's for myself and neighbors screwed directly to the soffit, no board attached. Our vinyl soffit material has air "holes" that are round, and mounting screws that come with the 5231's work perfectly. I'm sure...
