    IPC-B54IR-Z12E-S2 - What causes this?

    In answer to steve1225, this was both live & recorded. and I have Synology Videostation 9.2.0-11289, which is apparently the latest version. And as a follow up to the H265 issue, it appears that that was indeed the cause as for the past 9 hours or so after changing to H264, the feed and...

    IPC-B54IR-Z12E-S2 - What causes this?

    I am using H265, I'll try H264, although as I said, it's been working great for months. The camera is connected to the Internet via the Synology. When you say "the system", do you mean the Synology or the camera?

    IPC-B54IR-Z12E-S2 - What causes this?

    Dahua IPC-B54IR-Z12E-S2, only a few months old recorded using a Synology NAS. Has been working fine until yesterday when all of a sudden the clock time is all over the place and the picture keeps doing as in the image. What causes that?

    BackStreet-Surveillance on Youtube; Am I being toooo critical of the information he is giving?

    Funny isn't it. I recently challenged a tech guy on the radio here in Aus on why he is always pushing garbage consumer grade crap, and his response was "Dahua have been banned by the Goevrnment". That's it, nothing to do with his sponsorship deals. Of course not.

    Hey Andy, do you only ship to US/Canada if purchased through your website? Those are the only two destinations that I can select. I am in Aus. Is the Ali Express store gone?

    Yes wittaj, as I've played around with this camera, (the first PTZ I've bought), I did think the same thing myself. Good advice, thanks.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    So tried using Zoom Priority/Manual/Auto and the results are exactly the same, makes no difference. It's because I'm zoomed fully out I guess. One more unrelated question - Can the AI person tracking be set up while using the camera in scan mode? i.e, would tracking initiate while scanning...

    Zoom Priority - I had to look that up, I now know what it means and found the setting, which is off. I'll try again tonight when its dark.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Nothing else at all, just this cam. Cam is zoomed fully out, As I zoom in the stripes disappear, so I guess it's the two darker areas of the glass that I'm seeing. Is that to be expected? I should say I think considering the lack of light the picture is pretty good, apart from the darker areas.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Hi guys, Just wondering why I have these two left & right stripes going through the night picture? Not something I've seen on anyone else's night shots. However, I should say that where I am it is total darkness, no lights whatsoever.
