    Warning about tool shipped with Dahua cams!

    It appears the tool tip that snapped off in the OP's camera was designed for a tamper proof torx screw. Note the hollow center. By design these tools will take less torque to break off. I have three of the 5231 cameras installed and none of them came with tamper proof torx set screws or...

    VPN and ASUS RT-AC68U .... Standard Firmware or DD-WRT or Tomato

    Keep in mind there have been a dozen ASUS router firmware updates over the span from November 2017 through February 2019 (382.1 - 384.9). Several of which have been complex enough to need a full factory reset and reconfiguration from scratch afterward. The ASUSWRT-Merlin flavor seems to...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I own three of the HDW5231R-Z cameras purchased from @EMPIRETECANDY over a year ago. When they were new I updated the firmware to 2.460.0000.7.R, Build Date: 2017-03-06. In general the cameras work fine and have not missed a day since installation. The night focus is not overly sharp compared...

    SmartPSS won't launch

    I run SmartPSS V2.02 on two desktop machines and one laptop without problem. All are running 64 bit Windows 10 Professional. The account I used to install the program had administrative privileges. When SmartPSS was run for the first time it asked to setup a login name and password.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I would really like to question the terminology being used. I doubt very seriously if you "installed" a VPN on your Asus router. Most likely you enabled a feature in the firmware of your router and once enabled you proceeded through a configuration process. The term "installed" leads one to...

    VPN Problems via ASUS Router

    The device at the end of your fiber, by whatever name you want to call it, has an IP address and depending on the device it may also be acting as a router. Do you connect the internet into your ASUS AC68U via Ethernet cable?

    VPN Problems via ASUS Router

    I am using a Netgear R7000 router that has OpenVPN as a feature. Each time I make a change to the configuration on the router I have to save the changes and generate a new configuration file for the client machine. On Android I have to import the new configuration file into the Android client...

    SD22204T-GN Firmware Update Issue

    I too have one of the older SD22204T-GN cameras. The firmware version is 2.400.0000.4.R.T1.484, build : 2015-06-07. I never did try to upgrade the firmware because I had no specific reason to do so. Would also be curious as the the "most recent" firmware version for the older cameras.

    Question on router logs?

    I have a Netgear AC1900 router installed as part of my LAN. The OpenVPN server option is enabled and configured so I can access my ip cameras while away from home. It seems to work satisfactory. Occasionally I look at the router logs and have found something I cannot identify and do not...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    You are making way way too much out of that hole. Each of my cameras came with a white silicone rubber insert that plugged the hole if you chose to not run a wire through it. Otherwise if you loose the plug a small amount of white silicone caulk would do the same thing.
