Is that confirmed ? If so that's a big negative

What is this suppose to show ? A terrible photo edit ?

It can't.

Download VLC Player and it will play them. Just added 3 more sample/test videos so there are 5 now. In particular, I added some nighttime video clips. To recap: Clips 1 & 2 - recorded late afternoon, with all 4 cameras recording simultaneously. Clips 3, 4, & 5 - only a single camera was connected during the recording. #3 gives you an idea of the scene during the day for comparison to 4 and 5. Camera was just placed outside of my front door for this test, similar view as #1 and 2 but different location. #4 is at night - Street is lit by a streetlight to the right off camera, but otherwise no other lighting on the pathway, plant on the right, lawn, and outside of the house on the left, that is from the camera's IR LEDs. #5 - I decided to turn the front house lights on/off to see what adding visible light does. Resolution is certainly lower at night than day... how does this compare with other cameras? Thanks again to flynreelow for hosting these. I can't view these. the only option chrome gives me is to save link as not target... And non of them will play. Chrome sucks? lol Edit: Tried IE, Didn't work either. Also tried Firefox. Once I do save target as it needs the internet to find the info to play but still can't play after that.... Real Player, Windows Media Player and quick time wont play it. None recognize the file type....

Would love to see some myself.

Great 1st post. I think you would be very happy with your plan. As far as places to buy, check out http://empiresecuritycameras.com Good luck !

This is all I needed and it worked fine. Thanks. Of course. Not sure that needed to be said.

I know I'm doing something wrong. Do you mind pointing me in the right direction ?

How did you FTP into the cameras ? I don't see that as an option. If you wouldn't mind, can you give the steps you used ? Thanks.

Here is the firmware. Its for NTSC. Not sure about PAL http://ilkevinli.ipage.com/files/General_IPC-HX2XXX_Eng_N_BootSpi_V2.100.0001.0.R.20121031.bin

I'm using firmware version 2.100.0001.0.R, build : 2012-10-31 but I have noticed it on other versions. Doesn't happen all the time. Seems very random. Which firmware do you have on those cameras? If it is an older version, it means they (Dahua) haven't been able to (or tried) to fix it either, even though I am certain that it actually is a quite simple thing to fix.

I have seen this many times on my HFW2100 cameras. I notice it most in the mornings when the sun is rising.

LOL ! Nice job ! I'm sure this will help a lot of people.

PM me your email and I'll get it to you. The latest version is 2.100.0000.9R

There is a setting in the web interface to set it to reboot. Have you checked that ? Hi Martin, I bought one from ukcctvsystems The picture etc is great, much better than the webcam i was using previously. I have a problem though, the camera reboots every 30 mins, at 42 seconds past the hour and 30 mins 42 seconds past the hour (eg, 15:00:42 & 15:30:42) I wonder if there is a problem with it? Cheers, Pap

I currently have my camera setup to email me a snapshot of any motion detected. However I also get 2 additional emails for a total of 3 for every motion detected. Below are a copy of the 2 unnecessary emails. Does anyone know how to stop them ? Thanks. Alarm Event: Motion Detect Alarm Input Channel: 1 Alarm Start Time(D/M/Y H:M:S): 18/10/2012 08:58:01 Alarm Device Name: TZ******* IP Address: 192.168.2.240 Alarm Event: Motion DetectStop Alarm Input Channel: 1 Alarm End Time(D/M/Y H:M:S): 18/10/2012 08:58:06 Alarm Device Name: TZ******** IP Address: 192.168.2.240

That is the most annoying thing about the Dahua cameras. That network port end won't even fit through the holes on the outside electrical boxes.

Anyone ? I can't be the only one that uses this feature.

No I get 3 separate emails. The 1st email contains just text and states Alarm Start like the post above. The 2nd email contains the snapshot which is what I want. The 3rd email contains just text and has Alarm End just like what's listed above. Thanks

Are there any site sponsors in the US selling the Dahua DH-IPC-HFW​2100N ? I am looking to buy one and would like to support a sponsor if I can. PM me with you info. Thanks.

There is no way to get a higher resolution on a cellphone with geovision. I have no idea why they haven't added this ability yet.

I have the Samsung S III and GV works fine on 4G for me so it sounds like a setup issue on your end.

Hi, Does anyone know 1st hand if the Dahua IPC-HFW2100 works with the Geovision software ? Thanks.

Have you tried IP Cam Viewer to see if its a GV-Iview problem ?

This happens to me also when I login to my machine using VNC. All I have to do is minimize Geovision software and then maximize it and the pink goes away and shows the camera feed.
