    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Quick question. I have 1 camera above the garage door covering the driveway. The camera starts recording via tripwire; I have 3 of them covering the entire driveway zigzagging all over the place. So if anything moves; it should record it. Most of the time it does; however I noticed more and...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Yes, it switched back to day mode in the morning. I don't know how often it switches back and forth then, but in the end; it switches to day mode. It's not really a solution; but I downloaded an older version of Pale Moon (randomly picked 27.0.0) and then the plugin works. Hopefully Dahua...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    I forgot to look how often the camera switches back and forth between day and night the last several nights; but tonight I had the live view on in Pale Moon with my PC's audio turned up so I could hear it switching back and forth. I've set the camera Sensitivity to low and delay to 10s. Around...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    The problem was the Pale Moon browser. Since it was telling me this: I removed it from my PC and installed an older version of the browser, (I randomly picked version 27.0.0 instead of the current 27.9.3) and all the problems I had are gone. Live view is back and playback is working fine again...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    I just installed it on my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. Both Chrome and PaleMoon are having trouble displaying the live image (again; I get this problem every time when upgrading firmware). Both give me this: This new firmware does give me the 4th option under Profile Management that says 'Day/Night'. I...

    NIce. What can we expect for changes? I'm hoping switching between day and night profiles but that's probably never going to happen :rolleyes:

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    I know but if it had audio it would be a insta-buy instead of the 4231. Now it's a difficult decision between the audio and fixed lens of the 4231 or the missing audio but vari-focal lens of this 2231. ;)

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal

    This looks like a great camera. For a new system I was thinking about getting 2 IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE but this one is prices about the same (€3 difference) and has a vari-focal lens. Image quality is apparently about the same (this one, the 4231 and the famous 5231). I only use tripwire so the...

    New firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea NTSC and PAL 20180330

    Fair point. I upgrade the firmware. But what setting should I work with to have the camera switch between the day and night profiles? You have 'normal', 'full time' and 'schedule' but none seems to automatically change between the day settings and night settings.

    New firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea NTSC and PAL 20180330

    I sooo want to change the firmware on my 5231R-ZE (currently running 2.460.0000.14.R, Build Date: 2017-07-20) to this new firmware, just for being able to switch between day and night settings. (I currently change the sunrise/sunset times under the tab "Profile Management" but that has to be...

    That's great, very welcome feature. But I'm hesitant on trying the new firmware, reading the comments in that topic about issues with the new firmware. Anyone here updated the ZE model with that firmware? Is it working ok?

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    So this new firmware should switch between day and night profile so I should have to change the sunrise/sunset times every once in a while? If yes; to bad people seem to have problems with it, because switching between day and night would be very welcome. New firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea NTSC...

    Well, what do you know. I removed Pale Moon but when I tried to reinstall it, the installer kept crashing. Restarted the laptop, installing Pale Moon went ok and the live view is working fine again. Sometimes problems are solved easily. :cool:

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    I logged in to my camera this afternoon with Pale Moon, but I don't have image anymore. Everything is still working, but no live view, playback anymore. It's just a black box. Did a recend Pale Moon update cause this? On Chrome it's still working but the image is askew.

    I'm currently running firmware 2.460.0000.14.R, Build Date: 2017-07-20 on my camera. (default firmware when Andy shipped it to me). Is it advisable to upgrade the firmware or should I keep it like this? Any interesting new thing in newer firmware? (Please Dahua, implement automatic day/night...

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    I know. I used to have an auxiliary IR illuminator mounted next to my previous camera but that thing was uselesss (it illuminated only a tiny spot). The area is not big; it's only about 5 meters wide and 10 meters deep, with the camera mounted on the short side. It's also hard to mount stuff on...

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    Summer is almost here and so are the insects. Apparently the area around the camera is attractive to spiders since every night I get several recordings of spiders crossing the image or the webs in the wind. I've set my camera to record on tripwire with 2 areas; one zigzag line at the beginning...

    Managed to get it working. Instead of formatting the microSD Card on the PC, I formatted the card trough the Mi Home app. Now I have a nice 720p camera, with RTSP stream (usable with VLC and TinyCam Pro app). Now I have to think about what to do with it. I can use it as a baby monitor and we...

    Wyze Cam v2 - Anyone Tested - $19.99 - good reviews!

    Looks like it's from the same OEM as the SPOT ISC5 and Xiaomi XiaoFang. Don't know about the firmware, software and app of this one or the Spot, but for the Xiaomi it's terrible. I'm not sure what the situation is today, but I think it's still the case the Xiaomi can't be used outside of China...

    Dahua day/night settings - the basics

    To me, this is the biggest drawback of the Dahua camera's. You have the opportunity of specifying the settings for day and night yet the camera can't change between them at sunrise/sunset. Only if you set specific times for each or use a script on a external PC. So this leaves me changing those...

    I do. It's not terrible, but still. I think I'm going to experiment with some sort of foam on top of it to reduce it somewhat.

    About that microphone, has anyone had the idea of placing some sort of foam on top of it, to reduce wind noise? Just a little piece could be enough.

    Dahua 5231R-Z vs SD59225U-HNI WDR

    I just stumbled on this topic after searching on this forum on WDR, BLC and HLC (to figure out if I should use it, which one of them and whether during the day and/or at night). I just played around with the settings and it looks like WDR is only working on the 5231R-ZE (I have the -ZE, but the...

    Thanks. Any reason why you've chosen Auto Mode in Exposure? Don't you have issues with unsharp images of people (ghost) for example?

    So..what settings do you guys use? I know every situation is different, some have streetlamps, some have external IR-emitters, some are in a pitch black setting. But I'm just curious. In my situation there are some street lights, but they don't give near enough light to be usable for the...
