    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Thanks for the quick replies Wildcat_1! After several presets, I did set it up with preset 1 as my "home" position. Initially I was using the cameras web GUI but later starting using the NVR. Preset 1 was currently set by the NVR. On that note - which is preferred - web GUI or NVR? Thanks.

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    I purchased this camera a couple of weeks ago from Andy and so far its auto tracking has been working fine. However I did run into an issue with presets. If I set a tripwire or intrusion zone on this camera or another camera to trigger the PTZ to a preset it goes there like expected but then...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    I noticed this morning my nvr (5216) showed a software update available. The update notes said it was to improve ivs tracking among other things... maybe this is related to the “loosing home” issue? The version 4 software I downloaded from Andy’s link ended in .0, the new software ends in .5.

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Thanks for the awesome review, this camera looks really nice! I had a question on mounting - you used PFA120 and PFB305. Do mounts come with the camera or were these required and purchased separately? Thanks!

    Qsee camera settings with Dahua NVR

    Just an update, I got side-tracked with a problem on one of the qsee 8086 cameras. I was playing with the Dahua gDMSS app and after pressing the iris button the camera got locked into a manual iris mode. I couldnt figure out how to get the camera back into auto iris mode through the phone...

    Qsee camera settings with Dahua NVR

    Hmm... I guessed if they were using a Dahua NVR they would be using Dahua cameras... but that Hikvision sure looks similar. I'll try Hikvision settings and see if that works. Thanks!

    Qsee camera settings with Dahua NVR

    I just upgraded my Qsee NVR to a Dahua 5216 and was trying to use the old Qsee cameras. The cameras did H265 and were adjustable with the Qsee NVR but are stuck in H264 with almost no adjustments with the 5216. The Qsee cameras are: QTN8086BA 8MP Bullet QTN8059B 4MP Bullet QTN8042D 4MP Dome...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    A couple of questions with non poe 5216: 1) Bitrates: When I try to change cameras to a higher VBR it keeps going back to 6000 CBR. Also, they will not accept color corrections, I can put settings anywhere and the cameras look the same. 2) How do you log into ip cameras directly now? I...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Good news, it only took 6 hours but I finally figured out how to get video. FYI in case anyone else runs into this: Step 1) hook all the cameras up to the old nvr, change old nvr password to match new nvr (new one wouldnt accept old simple password) Im not sure if step one was needed...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Hi Guys, I've searched but cant figure out what is going on. I was using a Qsee QT878 which is a rebranded Dahua 2108. Everything was working fine, but I hit the bandwith limit after adding extra cameras - Qsee QTN8086BA 8MP. So I just upgraded to a Dahua 5216 non POE and added an external...
