    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    nothing in the saved clips, I only recorded on triggers. However @nayr I pushed cancel and dirt let me into the Wed Admin page for like 10 seconds. But then again became unresponsive. So something is working but I don't have enough time to do anything. Any ideas? Am I totally hosed with all my...

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    @nayr so the power brick exhibits the same behavior as when plugged in via poe, so its definitely not the power. I held the reset button and when it boots up it presents me with the login page. I login as admin/admin and it prompts me to reset pw. I reset pw, but then when I need to finally...

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    ok will try it, @nayr do you think perhaps the firmware is corrupt? if I can power it up with brick, I can't connect camera directly to my laptop and try reloading firmware through boot loader? but I'm skeptical because how could this have happened to 7 cameras and 2 different models in those 7?

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    if I have a 12volt brick that has a plug that fits but is rated at 1.25amps and the camera states it needs 12v. 0.5a. Will the camera only draw the amount of amps it needs?

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    Good points. I'll see if I can find one. But my issue is that I need these to work over POE as I don't have power available in the places where the cameras reside.

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    I don't have a 12v brick to test with but not sure what it will prove. Since all seven exhibit this behavior and prior were working.

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    Yep all attached to surge battery backup unit. Tried a different pc than the one running BI and have tried smartPSS. I do t have a 12v brick to test. But as @fenderman stated they all worked and posted up fine. So all 7 could not just die like this. My only other thought is could there be a...

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    the camera seems to be definitely be in a reboot loop, I'm watching the green power light since I have it opened. Every time I see lost pings the green light flickers off and turns back on. I realize this can happen, but to 7 cameras at the same time across different models?

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

    @nayr I am having a smilar problem as described here. Except this happened the other day where all 7 cameras (4x PC-HDW5231R-Z, 3x IPC-HDBW4231F-AS) running latest FW all of sudden lost connectivity. I could ping them but cannot get to the Wed Admin page. I thought maybe my switch was bad so I...

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    I replaced the switch with a brand new one. Same behavior. I even factory reset one of the cameras and the ip came back up as the default 192.168.1.108. When I run a continuous ping on the camera is seems to lose connectivity every 30 seconds. I cannot get to the Web Admin page to configure it...

    7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity

    Strange behavior with 7 Dahau cameras where all of a sudden BI reported lost signal. Tried rebooting the POE switch and no change. It alsmot seems like the cameras lost their configuration, but for some strange reason when I reboot them I cannot get to their web configuration page either. Any...

    Dahua Starlight Mini-Dome 3.6mm (IPC-HDB4231C-AS)

    @nayr can the IPC-HDBW4231F-AS be mounted on the ceiling or is that for the wall only? This is for my kids bedrooms, I like the mini-dome, but I need IR to see at night, so the wedge would have to do work.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Is there a reliable place to get updated firmware for this camera? I saw that the first page for this thread has a link to firmware dated 12/16. Just curious if that is the latest and where to look in the future?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    @nayr you had mentioned in the past that with digital IP Cameras it doesn't matter whether you get PAL or NTSC. I live in the US, so can you please clarify if there actually are any differences? So if I end up with PAL, will there be a situation where I have tweak them to record at certain frame...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    @nayr is there a limit per order we can make for the US to not get hit with duty tax when ordering this camera? i.e. I am looking to get 4-5 cameras , so I'm thinking whether I ought to split the orders.

    Trying to design system for my home

    @nayr what do you recommend to power these starlights? Obviously PoE is the way to go, but do you have any recommendations on brands/models to consider? Is PoE switch better to go with then with PoE injectors? is there something that everyone on these forums uses? Thanks in advance!

    Trying to design system for my home

    Thanks @fenderman inwas under similar thoughts that Blue Iris and similar software had more features but then again I'm still learning so I was surprised to hear that NVR was a viable option. In any case, I'm prob gonna go with Blue Iris given how many people use it and love it.

    Trying to design system for my home

    @Deali is there an NVR you can recommend so I can do a little research? With regard to Blue Iris, i was under the impression it had better and more capability in terms of triggers, analytics, etc.? Is that not the case?

    any chance you guys can provide some insight on leveraging my NAS with a server running BI and not needing an NVR?

    Trying to design system for my home

    So you are not big on the cubes then I'm assuming? Also, I have a 8TB NAS. Can I send the camera footage straight to my NAS and then use a BI server pointed to my NAS with the camera footage? Or do I still need an NVR?
