Ring network data
Would be nice to be able to take a ring offline and integrate with BI though, which might be possible if the video is not encrypted? -

china camera update to china firmware and consequences
Yes good call getting slightly more expensive quality cameras that you know can be manually adjusted to suit each location. The 5231 is popular on these forums because it is a proven workhorse for a broad range of lighting/locations: Aliexpress.com : Buy IPC HDW5231R ZE 2MP WDR IR Eyeball... -

Network fails if SD card gets corrupted
Yeah it might just be a coincidence. I have also unceremoniously unplugged my cameras with SD inserted many times without problem. I'm not 100% sure if they were actually triggered/recording every time, but pretty certain they were at least a few times while I was experimenting with cam... -

Network fails if SD card gets corrupted
I'm posting this to follow up on a problem I experienced after a power outage last night. My cameras have all behaved well during and after many power outages over the past year, until last night. Apparently as a result of the outage, one of the cameras ended up with a corrupted SD card. This... -

Connection to camera fails (after a power outage)
Update: WOOHOO... It was just a corrupted SD card causing all this mess! I would have thought the camera would be able to handle that more gracefully, but as soon as I removed the SD card and replugged the camera, everything worked again. I loaded the SD card on my PC and sure enough a bunch of... -

Connection to camera fails (after a power outage)
My IP cam setup with 3x cameras and Blue Iris has been working swell for the better part of a year. It has been through power outages before with no problems, however this last one seems to have caused a problem with one of the cameras. The camera webpage and the video stream is not working or... -

IPC-HDW4231EM-AS dropping connection randomly
Yeah I have one of those. They're great for verifying conductivity and termination on installed wiring. However they don't test bandwidth performance, which is very important when it comes to ip cams. For that you need a digital test signal and a high speed daq. You might see the telecom tech... -

Zyxel Switch
Hope nobody gets pissed about me waking a sleeping thread, but while I was on the forums I figured I should add that the switch was very noisy. It contained (get ready) 6x 40mm Delta screamers... no wonder it sounded like an aircraft carrier! I originally thought it only had 3x 40mm fans (that I...- truglo

Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here
In Blue Iris/camera preferences/PTZ/custom html commands, try setting the zoom-in button for the camera to something like: /cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=adjustFocus&focus=0.071429&zoom=0.5 That should get your camera to zoom half way when you hit the zoom-in button. You may have to play... -

Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here
Yeah a modern dvr (or vms) setup doesn't care about ntsc or pal. Those only come in to play if you use analog signals (older cctv style setups with coax etc...). -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
Good idea... it would be convenient for users to have a short list of api commands with equivalent values for the popular fixed lenses they can refer to in a first post. Seems worthy of beimg a sticky thread. -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
hmm, the webui slider implementation may be using 2560, but the Dahua API takes a float in the range 0.0-1.0. You can interpolate the 0-2560 range to 0-1 and use the camera's web interface (I like this math approach, hehe... please share the working equation if you do that), or you can use the... -

IPC-HDBW5231E-Z / IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Night time power consumption
My smartswitch says my Z pulled a peak 5.5W, and my Z5 (similar consumption to Z12 I believe) pulled a peak of 10.8W. Both I suppose could pull more while zooming in/out; my switch allocated 30W for each camera so I'm not too worried LOL. I would go off of the camera specs though, then you... -

Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z
hoomag, sounds to me like you haven't seen the webui yet? The config tool is neat, but it's also a blackbox when it comes to troubleshooting. So let's ditch it for now (you found the IP, which is the only thing the camera 'can't do itself'). If you're certain both the PC and the camera are on... -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
It could be tested by sending those input values then measuring the resulting viewing angles. Even better if it can be compared to actual viewing angles of a fixed lens camera. I have a 2.8 fixed and a variofolcal, but given my install it would take me some time to move them around for... -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
Good question... I'm not 100% sure what the answer is, but I will take a stab. The Dahua api takes a range of 0.0-1.0, with 1 being max zoom, and we will assume the software and hardware are linear. Let Fmin and Fmax be the max and min focal lengths, F be the actual focal length of the lens... -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
How about zooming in? From the specs on Andy's site: Z: 2.7mm ~12mm motorized lens, 97°~34° ZE: 2.7mm ~13.5mm motorized lens, 101°~31° According to the FOV angles the ZE should get both wider and narrower than the Z. From the pics on the first page it's hard to tell (the zoomed in photos look... -

Christmas lights creating problems... found a fix
The colored led strands do seem more bothersome to me than others, and I agree it seems the shorter wave colors are worse (blues and greens). My eyes are dark brown, 20:20... and I'm middle aged. As a hobby I fly small 150-200mph remote control pylon racing aircraft, and I have no problems with... -

Christmas lights creating problems... found a fix
David, I knew that was coming but last night I was just too lazy to grab images from the server. The proof is up now. :) tangent, excellent reply. The camera in question (Dahua starlight variofocal turret) has firmware that does not support 'Anti-flicker' for some strange reason... or there is... -

Christmas lights creating problems... found a fix
Some of us may run in to an unforeseen dilemma during the holidays... that perfect spot to string the Christmas lights puts a few bulbs right in front of a camera lens. In my case I have some cams mounted under the eves, and lights hung 2' away on the ends of the rafters. Four of the bulbs were...
