Hi I got it through dahua support. i think there are more than one version of IPC-HFW4300S so you need the specific firmware for you camera. I saw here firmwares but on your risk, that if you flash the wrong firmware, the camera might stop working without option to flash another firmware http://www.cam-it.org/index.php?topic=7457.0

i purchased 2 ipc-hfw4300s cameras. they not working out of the box. i can't connect it not from browser, configtool of software. i tried firmware upgrade but it says login failed. is anyone got the same problem and solved it? dahua's support very slow and not solved it. i see the ip address on the router 192.168.1.108 but can't connect is there a way maybe to factory reset from inside the camera?

Ok, i found out what was the problem. Power cable.was too long, caused drop in the voltage. Camera is great by the way, just needed to focus it

i tried many. all of them you need to choose, substream that works smooth, or main stream that works slow, drops many frames even drops few seconds at once even on new hight end phones. is there any app that works smooth high resolution like pc?

maybe removing this battery will reset the settings? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Uim1ox9fHcdmFWcmJxbDVkOHc/edit?usp=sharing

thanks no problem with bandwidth, it's the same problem on local network (using local ip) i can't use those apps, now i have only 1 Chinese ip cam, i will try when i will get the dahuas cameras

i'm looking for analog camera to combine it with ip cameras for better low light. 0.0001 lux or less/better. what i found is SAMSUNG SDC-435, but didn't found that it support WDR, only SSDR (Samsung Super Dynamic Range), is that the samsung's name for WDR or is it something else than real WDR? also lack me the waterproof but i can made something myself if there is no waterproof ready models. any recommendations for camera with those requirements?

the main purpose is to be able to freeze frames at pretty low light (like street). it's not 0.0001 lux i guess but i need fast shutter so need more sensitivity. slow shutter will fo the opposite. when people move at night, walking or car driving (slowly) on the street, you can't recognize the faces of the car. it gets motion blur. thanks

thank you for your great answer. now as i read, i see that there are 2 types of "sense-up", one is slow shutter speed, the opposite of what i'm looking for because i need high sensitive for fast shutter speed to be able to freeze frames at street low light, the other is sense-up without slow shutter - very expensive and i don't know why and how they work. it would be better if they were measured the low light capabilities in ISO and provide samples of the iso to see the noise and not in lux (every camera can make low lux with enough long exposure\slow shutter). so do you think there is any better ISO PERFORMANCE i can get in the analog cameras than Dahua IPC-HFW4300S at those prices? or should i stay with the ip cameras only again the purpose is to freeze the frames at pretty low light (street)

hello and thanks. please provide a specific model if you have any

thanks i'm not looking for saving money on housing, just didn't found any with waterproof housing ready.

hello i got this camera http://www.ebay.com/itm/151269939903 the quality at day is pretty good but at night it's not practical to capture motion. the "shutter speed" is very slow, faster shutter speed like 1/50 makes it very dark (almost total black screen) and the motion detection is not good at all i would like please to get recommendation on 1080p ip camera, with fast shutter speed at night, and it is good at motion detection recording for outdoor use, no need wifi, only lan cable. thanks

thank you both very much

iv'e seen samples on youtube from this sensor. is it better than the aptina 3mp sensor? from what ive seen it's way better at daylight, but not sure at low light and is there any ip camera from good brand with that sensor? not chinese non-branded thanks

hi i would like to know if there is any software for pc base ip cameras system, that enable to record motion but ignore specific areas that i will choose that have trees? or any other solution for that problem thanks
