    Got New Camera From Andy And I Can't Log In To It

    What camera is it? What's the IP address of your workstation? (ipconfig /all) Can you ping 192.168.1.108 from it? (the default address of a new Dahua cam) As awsum140 stated, how are you powering the camera? SD

    Is this possible with a Dahua NVR

    What if my network was in the same range as the IP segment of the POE range? That should work just fine. Can we change this range assigned? Yes, it just cant be the same subnet as the network port. I am able to create vlans on switches and do inter-vlan routing via my firewall. That should...

    Is this possible with a Dahua NVR

    Dahua NVR's POE segment is different than the network segment the NVR resides on. Unfortunately, they cannot have the same range. It will be possible with an external switch, and power supply to cams (midspan, POE injector or 12v power brick). The NVR will try and re-assign new IP's to...

    Dahua Starlight 40x PTZ - SD6AE240V-HNI

    Pardon me @fenderman if I've crossed the line and overstepped my bounds. I rescind my previous response. 9 months away, a new employer and a much less hectic schedule has forced me to re-think this reply. You can read it in Frank's quote below if you need to, but that's not my character, or...

    Whoa! Where do you get the mic foam cover? I have wind noise more often than I prefer. SD

    Dahua Starlight 40x PTZ - SD6AE240V-HNI

    Lol. Nice call. The SD6AE has two input modes, line in and mic. I inadvertently had it on "line in", AND had the noise filter on. I suspected something was up when it wasn't as sensitive as the SD59's. Good call. After the uploads, I corrected it and now needed to lower the "mic volume"...

    Dahua Starlight 40x PTZ - SD6AE240V-HNI

    Technical tip of the Day: To get the most out of the camera, add an external mic. The Microseven Outdoor Waterproof Mic ($20) has served the 5 external mic cams I have in service extremely well. They are very sensitive, durable and easy to set up. You will need to power it, either with its...

    Dahua Starlight 40x PTZ - SD6AE240V-HNI

    Installation tip of the day: This camera is a beast. Almost 23 lbs with the included PFB203W mount. Adding a PFA151 corner mount and PFA120 j-box brings it to nearly 30 lbs. Need a secure location to keep the wobble to a minimum when zoomed in. That security chain on the mount should tip...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Also, the HDBW has no internal mic, but an external one can be added. Have one in service inside a pole barn, so UV isn't an issue. They make sure the IR illuminators are pressed up against the dome with rubber isolators so no IR is reflected back to the lens. There's a shot of it in action...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Stays flexible throughout its lifespan. It firms up some, but still remains elastic, and cleans up nicely from the metal if necessary. Most of the penetrations on my house have this around it. SD

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Finalized the last SD59 on the back corner of the house. One last 5231 to install on the rear soffit and I'm done. My 5th corner mount, and I'll say, I'm getting much better at siding removal, protecto wrap and J channel cosmetics. This one covers the deck, back yard and shed. Don't expect...

    Dahua SD6AE240V-HNI 40x Ultra Series PTZ Starlight F1.2 Screen Captures

    Which one did you get? I can confirm this one doesn't work, and it should. PD-9501GR I paid $85 for it. Microsemi in the states here is a solid brand. The 9501 states it's POE++. Not sure what this camera is looking for? Maybe I should have got the PD9601? I was able to use the power...

    This is incorrect. The Config Tool will search for, and find Dahua cams on other segments. I've included a screen shot of how to accomplish this. SD

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    -Do you need to plug a brand new ipcamera into the router to change anything (IVS setting, IP address, Password) before installing them? You need to plug it in to your network to administer it, and your network needs to be on the 192.168.1.X subnet. -If the ipcameras are already installed...

    @looney2ns, low and behold, it is there! I never saw/noticed it before. Must have been super focused on the task at hand! I tried it too last night and they work the same. Dahua SD6AE240V-HNI 40x PTZ Starlight ***F1.2*** Link to my SD6AE install. I've been OT enough in this thread. SD

    I like it. Never a doubt LT. I have to look now when I get home! Does it work by dragging a box around a subject, and then the camera will track it until you un-toggle it? SD

    LT, I'm at a loss? I have countless hours administering the SD59's and have never seen the manual tracking icon on the live preview web gui. Hmmm. I'll take a screenshot of the SD6AE's long list of icons that I've never seen anywhere else. From memory as I'm not in front of it, you can draw...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Thanks @looney2ns. Must be part of the newest firmware? I did notice he 6AE doesn't have the global tab for IVS any longer, but the three SD59's I administer do have the global tab. I've left them all on the 9/16 firmware because it works well, without issue. Good to know, but I don't think...

    It is much quieter than the SD59's. You really can't hear it move mounted 20 feet (6 meters) up in the air on the corner. I'll get some install pics today. i was beat and had to be up at 4:30 AM for work. The tracking is superior as well. I could trick the SD59 by moving one way, and...

    Just installed my SD6AE240V-HNI last night (finally!). It's up and operating, is super sweet & by far superior, as it should be. As it was 11 PM and I was getting eaten by mosquitoes, I don't have footage, but will tonight. I like the look a lot better than the SD59 with it being all white...

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

    I'm sorry @Crazykiller, I have never installed or tested the above mic. Only the $20 Microseven mics. They have an input voltage range of 8-20V DC. Not sure what's available from the pass thru? SD

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

    Although that's the 12x version, the SD49225 has the same inputs/outputs. You have to add an external mic to it, which can be beneficial anyway as they are extremely sensitive, and not really pricy. Two recommended mics are: This outdoor waterproof mic from Amazon is solid. I have installed...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Not that I'm aware of. Camera has an RJ-45 waterproof female connector, and a 12V 2.1mm/5mm power connector. Get the HDBW5231R-Z if you want to connect an external mic, and can protect the plexiglass dome from direct sunlight. SD

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

    You will be more than happy with the daytime tracking with the SD59. It's very solid. I have zero regrets with mine. A little more difficult with the darker scenes. Remember that every install is unique and custom in regards to its ambient light available. YMMV. SD

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

    So, my thoughts, as I have three SD59225's in service, and a SD49225 on the way. Biggest Factor: Price is 2 - 1. $620 for SD59230: $310 for the SD49225. Do not buy the 59 for tracking. It's still in its infancy, and has a few bugs to work out going forward. If you want pro tracking...
