    Cameras for new home - Suggestions

    So the 5442 is the best option or should I be looking at some other cameras? Thanks all.

    Cameras for new home - Suggestions

    I’m blessed with a great job that takes good care of us. They are installing access points so I can be on the network at home, installing a rack, etc - so they also just knock out the cameras while there.

    Cameras for new home - Suggestions

    Hey all. I am in the middle of planning out my new home security. My company is covering all the low voltage work and camera installs but they want me to select the cameras I want. Several years ago I ordered 6 or 7 of the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z and only installed one of them so the rest are...

    Video Freezes

    Anyone know how long it take Blue Iris support to reply to an email? It has been 11 days and still nothing (I sent a follow up 4 days ago). The video still freezes and I miss large swaths of action. Thanks!

    Giving this a shot. Will know if it works when I pull out of the garage in the morning. Thanks!

    Video Freezes

    On the camera the only 2 options are h.264H or h.265 - unless I need to change something else to access additional feeds. Appreciate all the help!

    Spoke too soon. They started with the same 3-5 second freezing again. Only when recording. Doesn't do it in live view.

    I think I figured it out. I increased the buffer and it seems to have worked. Will continue to test.

    Just started installing cameras at the house - only have one up right now. All seems to be good - have it set-up (needs reaimed a bit) and Blueiris running smoothly. The camera is a Dahua Starlight. One problem -- Every time the camera is motion triggered it shows the first few seconds of...

    POE Switch Issue

    Hi, all - Sorry for what seems like a basic question, but I'm useless when it comes to this stuff. Months ago, in anticipation of getting my camera set-up, I purchased a Netgear F116P POE switch (8 POE, 8 non). This item was supposed to be new, but without box. It looks brand new, but when I...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I ordered on 4/25 and was told stock was on hand. Haven't gotten tracking yet. We'll see what happens here over the next couple days.

    I believe @nayr is calling that corridor mode in the chain and has said the software will allow you to flip the image. He's suggested it to several folks here.

    Jimmy Johns Robbery - Kansas City 4/26/17

    That's what it looks like to me. He had a pretty decent double feed going there. As well as I know firearms, I doubt in that situation you are too concerned with a double feed and more so about getting that gun out of your face over a couple hundred bucks,

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    It is very peculiar how hostile some of you are, and to what end? Never claimed they could be had faster elsewhere, I asked a question about tracking numbers and the shipping process which has since been answered. But congrats, looks like you bought a lot of stuff...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I wrote the seller 36 hours ago and hadn't heard back so was hoping someone here had been through the process and knew if a tracking number was provided or not. Agree my post was of limited utility, but worth a shot for some peace of mind.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    How do you know if your cameras ship? I ordered last week after receiving assurance there were plenty to fulfill the waitlist and get my cameras out. However, I've still not yet received a tracking number. I get the "be patient" sentiment and all, but I've already laid out nearly $1,000 and...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Excuse what's likely to be a dumb question - I have 5 cameras hopefully coming soon. I had planned to run Blue Iris with it. Is that not a good idea? What should I use instead?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Well, tried to order from Ali Express. They flagged my legitimate AMEX and want me to send them front and back scan of my card, my driver's license and something else that I'm forgetting. There's no way in hell that's going to happen. What the eff???

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    What's the story with these? I need 5, but every time I look at the site they are sold out. Is there a wait list?

    Trying to design system for my home

    Hi all. I am a complete newbie here looking for a little advice. I have everything I need except my cameras (Computer, CAT5, PoE Switch, etc). I want to make sure I am getting decent enough coverage. The back right of the house has a ton of soccer stuff for my son (pro-level goal, rebounders...

    Hi, all. I'm very new to the world of IPCams, so apologies if I ask stupid questions. I have had my car broken in to last year, and there have been some other beak-ins in my sub, so I am ready to invest in some cameras. On top of all that, my son has gotten in to soccer and the back yard is...
