    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    Got it, okay thank you. It's probably time to replace at least one of these older ones anyway...

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    Lol, I was afraid you were going to say that! I guess for my situation, do you have any sense whether or not my older Dahua HDW5231's would be able to switch reliably on their own? Do they even have the ability to do that at all... I can't remember if I've seen it in the web interface or not.

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    Awesome, thank you for giving a great starting-point. What are you using to have the cameras to switch between day and night settings? On-camera or something within the NVR app or some 3rd party utility?

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    Agreed, and although I sort of tuned things when I first put up the system I definitely didn't get it working as well as it could have been and in fact part of the reason I'm now revisiting it all is because I had someone steal a power washer from the alley behind my house. Have wonderful...

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    I've got mostly older Dahua's (Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and haven't updated firmware within the last many years so I'm assuming that I've got 'old' GUI? But how does scheduling work - are people explicitly setting times for it to switch on/off? What happens when the daylight hours shift? And what...

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    Do 'Day' and 'Night' settings happen automatically based on what the camera is seeing? Or do I need to set up a schedule?

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    Yeah, I'm probably hoping for too much thinking I might get some LP reading with the same camera. Don't really want two cameras since it's the front of my house and even the one camera feels a little intrusive to me. (Particularly since I'd also have to put a POE splitter on the wall there too...

    Replacing a Dahua 5231R-Z — G6 Turret vs T54IR-ZE-S3 vs T58IR-ZE-S3 (front of house + street)

    (Cross-posting to Dahua and UniFi Protect forums) Looking for opinions on replacing my aging Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z. It's mounted on the front of my house covering my front steps, with the street also in view. I'd love to be able to catch license plates on cars passing by when possible. Night...

    quick way to see something from two minutes ago via iOS app

    Yeah that's often what I do, particularly if I know where the sound came from. Still, an easy way to instantly scroll back to some arbitrary recent point in time for all the cameras I'm looking at would be extra slick...

    quick way to see something from two minutes ago via iOS app

    Yeah but do you have alerts going off all night or do you silence them?

    quick way to see something from two minutes ago via iOS app

    Cool, thanks for letting me know that at least something is in the works! It's just very common, at least around my house, to have someone (cough*wife*cough) say "what was that noise". So being able to quickly see what happened 30 seconds ago is something I think I'd use constantly.

    quick way to see something from two minutes ago via iOS app

    I'm not asking for mind-reading, just good app design. On my Wyze camera I touch 'view playback' and press the 'go back 30 seconds' button a few times as needed. That takes 'less than 3 seconds' rather than 'less than a minute'. And on BI if there hasn't been an alert recently, like beyond the...

    quick way to see something from two minutes ago via iOS app

    Curious what people do if they want to quickly see something (on the app) from a specific camera that happened just a few minutes ago (assuming there are no alerts/events detected). Am I missing something obvious or do you really need to go into the clips section and then scroll to find?

    Handhold me through data disk clone (what software, in particular?)

    Thank you! All working as normal again!!!

    Handhold me through data disk clone (what software, in particular?)

    Cool, thanks. Is that MiniTool partition wizard a necessary part of the process? And is there a way to just specify that it's got the same drive name so I don't have to touch BI at all?
