    My MacOS camera software

    As most folks realize now the MacOS is not so security camera friendly. I have come up with a simple 3rd party setup for one of my iMacs Computers that lets me config & browse cameras. Thought I would share in case anyone is looking at the same. First I use an offloaded NVR to record all the...

    Ketchup - Have you tried a hard reset and setup the DB11 again? I had to do it twice if I remember correctly. Hard reset is power off, power on while holding the reset button on back of DB11 for 10 secs... M

    I was wondering if anyone has gotten their SD card to work? I put a 128GB SD card in and it does not recognize it. Do I need a smaller card? Thank you M

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE INOP

    Follow on question here. I have a new HDW5631R-Z camera. I ordered it in when I was testing several different cameras for our system. Does anyone know if I can use for a spare and import the saved configuration file from a HDW5631R-ZE? I am thinking that may work, if not then I should...

    Issue with IPC-HDW5231R-ZE camera

    I have 2 POE switches. One is 84W and one is 124W. My power budget for HDW5231R-ZE 10W max each. The reason I purchased the Cisco SG300-10MP was that I ended up installing 8 HDW5231R-ZEs & 1 HDW5631R-ZE. Power was over 100% of budget. I now left both switches in system and have split the...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE INOP

    One of my Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE is INOP. It is only 10 months old and was purchased from Empire Tech. No response from hard reset. I took the 128GB stick out of it. My question is it worth anything for parts or should I just toss it. Thank You M

    Issue with IPC-HDW5231R-ZE camera

    I will do that next time. I have a 12v 1.5a Power Supply I can try. You are thinking it is POE power related? Don't have any cameras with issues at the moment, only the bricked one. It is a mystery to me how reseting to factory default and restoring the config file would fix the camera with...

    Issue with IPC-HDW5231R-ZE camera

    TY Fenderman. I did exactly that last night. Camera with issue all by itself and the issue was still there. The good news is when I did a hard reset to factory default and import the configuration file, the camera has not gone off line yet. fingers crossed. The bad news is when I tried this...

    Ok tried factory reset and still goes offline every 65 secs. I even left it at the default 192.168.1.108 IP and it still did it. Going to order a few more cameras. All my cameras are running the same version of firmware, all hooked to the same POE Cisco switch, but 4 some reason some fails...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    DB11 is 5"x2". Ring is 6.2"x2.6" Not sure why you need a wedge kit. Angle does not appear to be all that bad. That link shows a wedge that goes from 30-55 deg. You can make a simple wedge from thick sheet metal. I have a piece of stainless I plan on making a slight wedge from. M

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    My serial number did not match either. Not hard to navigate by. As far as video, how far is the DB11 from the wireless router. If you set the video same as my examples you should have a better picture as long as you have good signal. If not a simple wireless extender on the nearest power...
