    Negative. These are pics of the Monoprice ones, which are NO GOOD. Cat6 Plug Solid W/Insert 50U 100pcs/Bag - Monoprice.com The 3 piece suits have the spreader/separator and hold the outer sleeve in place with a crimp bar. I agree. Who likes terminating? I bought these for $1.50 each...

    Griff, they work great. I have been using the first 50 pack for the pole barn install. I ordered another 100 once I knew they worked so well. The spreader keeps the untwisted segment as short as possible, about 3/8". I recommend them highly. I tried the Monoprice Hi Performance Cat 6...

    Lol. Yep. Thats what you get when the electricians terminate your cables! They should stick to running 14/2, 12/2 and 14/3! I bought 3 -- 50 packs of Cat 6 3 piece suits . The Monoprice ones do not hold/crimp the sleeve, but these are great. Amazon.com : CableCreation 50-PACK Cat 6A RJ45...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Well, you are covered either way from Andy. I haven't heard of any of these being defective yet. I would suggest using a 12 power supply to reset it, if it's practical for you. I'm sure POE would work as well, but haven't reset them that way. SD

    Sure would. I have set it up that way. This is what I've learned: Need at least 1A - 12V power supply. When using this 5A PS from Ebay; 12V 5A 60W Power Supply AC to DC Adapter for 5050 3528 Flexible LED Strip Light | eBay I was getting a ground loop from the mic, no matter if it was...

    Reset it to factory specs and try again. Hold the reset button for a full 60 seconds while powering it with a 12V power supply. Sometimes they test the cameras and don't put them back to factory specs. If you don't have any luck after that, it may be defective, but very rare. Did you get it...

    Dahua 3x PTZ dropped off router

    Nope. Can't have the same IP as the camera will have when reset. Use anything other than 108. Set the preferred DNS to 192.168.1.1 as well Here's what I've learned about resetting to factory. Hold the reset button for 60 full seconds after applying power. A few seconds will NOT do it...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I would say the most important cable spec, whichever AWG you decide, is Solid Bare Copper. 24 or 23 gauge hasn't made a bit of difference for three SD59225H-UNI's, which are PTZ's with heaters. If you are running these 5231's, I feel it's even less important. I have tested these cameras...

    SmartPSS saves 1 hour off from selected times?

    Yes, I have noticed, but it's easy enough to select 1 hour prior to what you are trying to export. Future update to address this. I originally thought it was daylight savings time. SD

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    So Ryan's advice is to set the iframe to match the fps? Not double the FPS. Is that how I understand this? I lose less than a second, but my iframe is double the frame rate. SD

    OMG I can't figure this out!! Dahua cam bricked?

    He'll be really safe with a minute! It's definitely more than a second though. Resetting an HDBW5231R-Z over the weekend, when I held it shorter than a full minute, the IP address reset, but the the custom TCP port I set up did not. YMMV SD

    OMG I can't figure this out!! Dahua cam bricked?

    It's not dead. The above procedure is not correct. I will explain, and have walked many through this here. They sometimes test the cameras before shipping and do not reset them to factory specs, but you can easily enough. Add to that, the config tool needs to start in the correct subnet...
