    Troubleshooting Circuitry in Old SD49225T-HN PTZ Cameras

    New EEPROM chips arrived from China. Now, awaiting the TSOP socket adapter to arrive via "slow boat" Meanwhile, I thought I would install the software and driver for the XGecu programmer to get ready. Broke out my windows laptop that I keep around for such low level tasks and found just how...

    please help Dahua 5 mp PTZ ip cam

    There is almost always a way to ghetto fashion a continuity tester. A flashlight with its end cap off and a couple wires bits will do the trick. So, will a battery, bits of wire and your tongue. Not for live circuits - of course, but will work in a pinch.

    Before And After

    Fantastic landscaping restoration. Would even pass the unreasonable standards of our neighborhood landscape Stasi.

    Night of Fluffy Clouds

    Pacific Northwest is notorious for our cloud cover. Bummer when they hide the sun, but clouds can also beautiful, particularly here just before they run up against the cascade mountains. Here are 12 hours of sky coverage looking west. Look carefully and you'll see Orion, Sirius, and Menkar peek...

    Color 4K-T

    They should frackin' back port that behavior to their older cameras!

    Color 4K-T

    Whoa! It actually switches profiles and not just color mode?

    Pretty Kitty, but what made him flinch?

    Some of my cams, like the Color-4KT, have unusually sensitive microphones. On those cameras, I have to turn down the microphone volume in the camera to match my other cams.

    Pretty Kitty, but what made him flinch?

    More view better for certain. However, I really dislike the audio distortion caused by Dahua's noise reduction filter. I always turn that off to get better fidelity audio. In some of my newer cams with web 5.0 GUI, turning off the noise reduction filter is buggy and requires turning it on before...

    Loryta IPC-Color-4KT Continues to Impress (Even Caught Andromeda Galaxy)

    Having this recording 24/7 for scenery rather than security has been a big thumbs up from the wife. Glad I decided to try one even if I'm late to the party. Sorry, Youtube adds considerable banding when they recompress the video, especially if you view in downsized 1080P. Looks better if 4K...

    Color 4K-T

    Wait.... T5IR-ZE-S3 can switch PROFILES by itself without a schedule? I've never heard of any Dahuas having that ability. They all seem unable to switch profiles on the basis on lighting, but always need to switch via schedule or external scheduling program. On the Color4K-T I have not...

    IP Cam <-> Web server direct connection and integration

    So.... basically putting the cams on a VLAN. Maybe querying a networking site regarding the cheapest VLAN solution would be the route to take.

    IP Cam <-> Web server direct connection and integration

    I suspect there won't be much experience here with doing that. The majority of users here are doing nearly the polar opposite of what you are trying to achieve. The majority of us are using NVR's and dual-NIC PC's to isolate our cameras from the outside world.

    Even More Satellites March 15, 2024

    This one is probably my best thus far. This is a bit slower at 30X speed. This is pretty nifty looking on my 150 inch screen. Wish I could upload the full quality version, but file is way too big at 2.23 GB. Youtube 4K is only practical way to distribute.

    How disappointing a result. We'll see what an EEPROM swap does (hopefully)

    Clear conditions allowed capture of even more satellites on Loryta IPC-Color 4KT
