I have an old machine connected to a seismometer, no reason to upgrade to anything else. Mind it didn't 'cure' my issue with one of the cams......

Have used a PC running Win 7 to make and check my settings.... Easy way out!

Just looked at the registry on my Win10 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft exists this far, but no entry for Internet Explorer...

I've just started to use this, and am generally happy to continue to do so - need more experimenting though. The CPU usage now hovers around 10-15% instead of 0-3% which I can live with. One annoying issue is the full screen live view has become remarkably "stuttery" - even on main stream at...

Indeed - it didn't work for the change I tried to make this morning. The cam continues to react but not trigger through to BI.

Looking in Edge >> "settings" >> "default browser" >> add cams, by URL, under "Internet Explorer mode pages". Seems to work - though I might be mislead. I'll find out soon when one of my mis-functioning camera triggers again - I had it not to record out!!!!

Thanks. Very informative, though a little over my head. I was hoping there'd be a glimmer of explanation in settings as to why one of my Dahua cams will trigger but won't PTZ (though in a wildlife position - not Human/Vehicle). I had a heron walk upto it and fill almost 60% of the image - but...

One is back out working. The attached photo was taken last night - zoomed to around 10 metres. The second 225 still in ITC, it'll work but only with an external power supply - debating whether to swap out the rj45 connector.

What can I say - I don't read widely enough- I was obviously just lucky in choice with the first 100metres - CCA elsewhere on much shorter runs (<50M) didn't alert me ...... At least the replacement is advertised as solid copper (in capital letters) and 23awg.... Will test it out with the cam...

Sadly CCA, 24awg - but another 225 works well at 105 metres - probably not good enough for the 425. The other at 105metres is on solid copper 24awg - not too sure why I didn't repeat that order!

The 225, whether at 100, 18 or 2 metres always shorts out equivalent to the end of the cable. It'll work with direct 12V power.

The 425 is showing on the network router, even at 100 metres. The web page is accessible at 2 and 18 metres - but 100 metres it's not.

That's what I intend to do this morning, after I get the new 425 back to factory reset so I can access the gui. (This 225 was originally on a 15 metre cable until it malfunctioned).

The switch is an at, providing max 30W per port.

Thanks. I have a thought or two on how I might solve it...
