    Gremlins strike my HDW5231R-ZR Cameras

    I would love to be skilled at setting them up. I have tried setting alarms and such but it either records continuously or not at all. All cameras are perimeter type that have trees cars bushes and the like always setting them off. M

    Gremlins strike my HDW5231R-ZR Cameras

    Well long story short. Sandisk will not cover any SD Ultra used in a security Camera, voids warranty. Wants me to buy their high endurance, but it only comes in 64GB. Go figure it would have to work twice as hard... :-). Think I settled in on Tangent's recommendation Samsung Endurance...

    Gremlins strike my HDW5231R-ZR Cameras

    Thanks for the reply and link. Wow I can say I was a naive about the life of SD cards. I think that was because I had used the Ultra in my vivotek cameras without failure for 6 years. Being much lower resolution they never showed any signs of failure. The new Dahua cameras I have are much...

    Gremlins strike my HDW5231R-ZR Cameras

    I just verified and the SD card is INOP. I replaced it with a spare and it is clicking along just fine. The INOP card does not come up in Disk Utility. Something seems real peculiar about 7 of 11 cards I purchased on May 14, 2018 go bad within a few days... Gremlins !! We will see what...

    Gremlins strike my HDW5231R-ZR Cameras

    Gremlins have struck 6 of my 9 HDW5231R-ZE cameras. I check the SD cards once a month just as a pre-caution. When I checked them only 3 showed they had SD cards in them. I immediately checked the physical SD cards and they are in-place. I tried unplugging and replugging cameras which show no...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Has anyone figured out how to make the DB11 record from the Main stream (1080P) instead of the Sub Stream (640x480)? The IMOU app seems very buggy. Hopefully just a user issue. I can set the still phone to SD or HD but when I try that with the video it only does 640x480. M PS - I just...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    I was able to factory reset by holding reset down for 20 secs when powering on breaker. Then you have to press momentary to get the DB11 to broadcast on its wifi to connect and reset up the doorbell using IMOU. Again I verified if power goes out then you have to get it working again by...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Mine did not let you format in the iMOU app unless it is MS-dos(fat). ExFat could not be recognized by the DB11 on a 64 or 128GB Sandisk Ultra micro SD card. M

    I finally got a SD in the DB11. 64GB is the max and you have to format it with MSDOS(Fat). It come with ExFat from Sandisk. Now I am playing with it to record history without buying their Cloud. M

    Well sorry I do not see any 1.000.0000001.0.R.180919 firmware. Would love to just shutoff the bell in the DB11. It is annoying. I still would like to know if anyone has got a SD card to work with doorbell?? I ordered a new 128GB Sandisk Ultra and it does not work with the doorbell. It works...
