Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ
Dang. Is it common with this specific camera or did I just get lucky with all my other ones? Is there anything you can do about it, aside from exchange? -

Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ
Anyone seen a black blob on the images of their camera or other Dahua for that matter? I have 12 cameras from Andy, and this is the first one that has seemingly some sort of black speck inside the lens. I mounted the camera in late December after our daughter was born, and I just now noticed... -

Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ
Yea, if I was going to replace it with anything, it was going to be a Noctua. Has anyone done a fan replacement for this camera or know the right fan size? Are they all fairly standard? I want to try and get all the information first before I go up and pull the camera down, as I want to know... -

Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ
I enabled the overlay and mine is sitting at 131* F (55* C). While it's indoors, I am using the recessed mount, so it's half in the attic, although under 18" of blown in insulation. Looking at the Dahua datasheet, it says the operating temperature is up to 65* C, so I've got 10* of headroom... -

Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ
Is there a way to modify the RPM via a resistor? Is there a way to check the temp inside? Would like to understand how hot it’s running first to see if disabling the fan (or reducing RPM) would actually be prudent. Have you done this? Any instructions / schematics / pictures? Anything would be... -

Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ
For those that have one of these installed, how loud is yours? I had one that I had mounted outdoors (and love!), but we recently mounted another one indoors in a room that has 14' ceilings, as my wife wanted a PTZ that we could zoom extremely close, as we have a crib in the room and it's... -

Day / Night profile switching
These both are incredibly helpful. Thanks! -

Day / Night profile switching
Isn't "general" just another profile, just like "day" and "night"? The way you wrote it, you make it sound like "general" is equivalent to the "day/night" profile that the non-PTZ cameras have, but when configuring profiles you can actually select a "general" profile instead of a day or night... -

Day / Night profile switching
Tried both cameras via internet explorer (not edge) and the settings unfortunately are the same. No option to have an auto-changing profile: -

Day / Night profile switching
The camera has all the profiles, but how do you have it configured to actually switch profiles automatically based on luminance, NOT scheduling? Are you referring to this setting (screenshot below)? As this has nothing to do with profile changing based on my understanding and the documentation. -

Day / Night profile switching
I have 1x PTZ1A4M-4X-S2 and 2x PTZ425DB-AT. I'm using chrome to configure everything. To clarify, they all have profiles, it's just that none of these have a way to switch between profiles other than a basic schedule which is insufficient. At this point, I'm going to have to potentially use... -

Day / Night profile switching
On my 5442's the day/night functionality works flawlessly, both indoors and outdoors. I've never had an issue. So it definitely can be done, it just seems like Dahua is moving away from it, which is frustrating and will most likely cause me to start looking around. I had planned on moving one... -

Day / Night profile switching
I want to confirm my understanding here, as I've been struggling in trying to get my new PTZ cameras working in switching between day/night profiles. My 5442 cameras have a "Day/Night" profile under "Profile Management". This seemed like a very basic/obvious feature where I could configure... -

PTZ1A4M-4X S2 - Firmware update invalid?
I've never updated any of my Dahua cameras for fear of breaking them. However, I want to upgrade some of them, as some of the release notes do actually fix things. I am trying to update the firmware on my PTZ1A4M-4X S2 camera and have downloaded the firmware from Andy's site (all cameras were... -

Does a 1/1.2” IR camera exist?
I have a mixture of Dahua cameras, some being the newer S3 variants. There decent but I still find the night image to be pretty lacking. I see the newer cameras that have the 1/1.2” sensor, but it’s only the color ones that have the LEDs on all the time. Have there been any announcements...
