    Question on Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Cameras

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 NVR question

    Quick question about NVR hard drive installation. I have a Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 NVR that is my home office. The NVR was a little loud that even my old ears can hear. I decided replace the OEM fan with a Noctua Premium fan. This helped a bunch. There still is some hard drive noise from the...

    Recommendation for wireless outdoor camera?

    Well may go that route. We can watch Hulu TV wirelessly on dock without issue. The camera we had was 8 fps or so and was 2mp. I like what I see about the SD1A203T-GN-(W) but I would have to be mounted vertically and sun rising will be an issue. I have a couple extra IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras...
