    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    My cable was 24 AWG. The $1 keystone jack was easy to punch down and is durable. They are either in a shed or inside an electrical junction box so they are sheltered from the elements. They were installed almost 3 years ago, with no failures to date (knock on wood). The price for the jack in...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I also ran burial grade Cat 5E cable, I think it was also gel filled. I used keystone jacks at the ends, they were easy to install with a punch down tool. They sell for about a buck apiece.

    WDR turned to 20% maybe a little bit better.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    The 49225T night time image is a lot better than my Hiks. But I know there has to be better settings. My settings are factory default of 50. Anybody know what settings I should change it to, so I am not “whited” like in the photo?

    I think I would need 3 six packs and a couple of shooters of Tequila.

    Dahua 49225T-HN Installation

    Good question. When you look at the picture of the outside of the shed, it looks like I could move it over another few inches. But inside the shed, it was as far left as I could get. The shed does have 3 more cameras installed, one inside, one on the left above the PTZ and one on the right...

    Dahua 49225T-HN Installation

    You are up the road from me, I'm in Herkimer. I did not expect to install it so soon, but the weather has been warm, so I got it done. I was playing with it this morning and zoomed in on a bird about 200-300 years behind my house. It was a robing first one I saw this year.

    power adapter for Dahua SD49225T-HN

    If you use POE, make sure the switch is POE+ (802.3at standard) . I’m using the one Fenderman recommended the ZyXEL switch, 5 port GbE, 4 ports POE+. $60.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I tried this last week (connect camera directly to computer), did not work. The camera needs to powered up with POE+. I had to change the IP address of my POE+ switch to 192.168.1.x and also the computer. Once I did that, I was able to log in to the camera and change the IP address to...

    Dahua 49225T-HN Installation

    It’s been warm here in upstate NY, so I was able install my 49225T-HN today. It is installed on the side of my shed with 8 inch lag bolts. Ran the Ethernet cable up through the soffit so I did not have to make a hole in the side of the shed. Pretty simple and it is up and running.

    Try putting everything on 1 network IP (i.e. 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x) They will not see each other if they are on other networks.

    Are your computer and camera on the same network IP? Also I think the Dahua defaults to 192.168.1.108. You may have to make some changes to the IP addresses of your camera/router.

    Aliexpress, ok to order from?

    Paypal is what worked for me too. Seems like Aliexpress is hit or miss.

    I tried about a dozen times via Andy. It would not take my credit card.

    Yeah mine had crappy Phillips heads too. Tried different Phillip head screwdrivers, but none would stay in the slot.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Well, I don't plan on sticking an SD card in there (what an awkward place to put the SD slot) so the only reason I would have to open it up would be to reset it. Which hopefully I won't have to do.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Thanks, the screws are torqued in there pretty good. I tried using a philips head, but they would not budge. I don’t intend to use an SD card, but if I ever have to reset it, I may have problems.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    In the installation guide, to reset the camera or add an SD card it says open the rear cover. To open the rear cover do you remove these screws? Thanks.

    Intruder problem

    Red Squirrels are the worse they will chew on anything. Try a cob of field corn, the squirrels in my back yard love it.

    This site is the greatest! Got my SD49225T yesterday (only 2 days from Hong Kong, thanks Andy) and got it running yesterday in the web browser. I thought it would take a couple of days to get it running with Blue Iris, but followed the suggestions here on the thread. Updated Blue Iris to Ver...
