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

    If accuracy in auto-tracking is my main concern, I would assume that technology in these alogarithms have improved drastically since my SD52C225U-HNI that I purchased back in 2018.

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

    Would this be a big improvement from this Dahua SD52C225U-HNI mini dome PTZ I purchased back in 2018. How can I improve IVS Auto-Tracking?

    Compact PTZ with 2.8mm wide angle OR wide FOV (up to 90°) that has Auto-Tracking (not Wifi)

    Hello all! Haven’t been on here for a while. I’ve been quite happy with the SD52C225U-HNI Dahua PTZ I purchased from Andy @ Empire a few years back. Only problem is that it has a 4.3mm wide angle portion that doesn’t give me a very wide FOV even with the camera mounted on my 2nd storey eve...

    Mini outdoor PTZ : DS-2DE4A220IW-DE

    That really is too bad! Don’t know why a 2.8mm wide angle lens has such a narrow FOV, but it would have been ideal with a 90° FOV & having Auto-Tracking as well.

    Mini outdoor PTZ : DS-2DE4A220IW-DE

    On 2nd thought specs do not indicate that this is an auto-tracking model. Can anyone confirm?

    So did you end up buying this 2.8mm PTZ. FOV actually says 90° on data sheet. :)

    Do you have a PTZ camera in your system? Was wondering if this improves Auto-Tracking.

    How can I improve IVS Auto-Tracking?

    Would like suggestions on how I can improve IVS Auto-Tracking with my SD52C225U-HNI Dahua PTZ. I currently just have "Auto Track" enabled under PTZ settings. I've attached a video of people walking on the sidewalk which ends up with the PTZ focusing on the tree on the left. How do I improve...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    This is how I setup my Auto-Tracking for now. See screen caps of IVS Rule 1 in my Dahua PTZ and Record setting based on any movement in HotSpot area on Blue Iris. Anyone care to comment?

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    Thanks to Andy @ Empire who had me do a Hardware Reset. Currently running with the supplied 24V power adapter & all is fine. Has been running since Monday 6:00PM without any problems. Have set to Auto-Tracking under PTZ > Function > Intelligence. Can someone do a Tutorial on IVS Tripwire...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    OK, had a read through the link that Terk provided. After reading this & knowing now that I have the least acceptable cabling (CAT5e) for PoE+ would it be better for me to run the camera via the supplied power supply. The 2nd floor eave where the camera is mounted is close enough to our bay...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    Yes you are correct. I am still getting a live feed. And thanks for elaborating on the termination problem possibility. I suspect that might be so as in the initial installation I was able to move the camera via my Blue Iris & IP Cam Viewer iPhone apps. The last two times I have unplugged and...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    I have one last question. If the CAT5e cabling had worked flawlessly for 3 years with not a single dropped signal with my older Dahua SD3282D-GN PoE PTZ, is PoE+ that much more finicky that the cabling &/or termination could be causing the problem. That's why I'm heeding your suggestion of...

    Ok just tried Linksys PoE+ injector. I can conclude that it's faulty wiring :( I will do a new run of CAT6 cable. Screenshot of picture showing temps constant at 20°C after an hour tells me the camera is working fine :) Any recommendations on what type CAT6 I should use? Should I try & get...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    Ok, what you're asking is a bit over my head, but the wire is solid copper 24gauge (Stamped on sheathing) rated for outside use. I crimped the ends myself & my older Dahua PoE SD3282D-GN PTZ had been functioning perfectly for 3 years until I replaced it just now. As mentioned, I will try a...

    Dahua Starlight Recessed Dome PTZ (SD52C225U-HNI)

    Okay dove in & bought one from Andy @ Empire. Fast DHL delivery; very impressed. I had a Zyxel PoE switch already so I purchased a TrendNet PoE+ Gigabit Injector to run this baby. Have about a 75' run of CAT5e to the eve on 2nd floor in my home where my old SD3282D-GN PTZ was. Replaced with...

    BI running VERY high CPU 95%+ (see Pic)

    I have a dedicated 24/7 BI miniPC Core i7-4770T with 8GB RAM Win7 64bit. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600. Will the 4664 work with this graphics processor? CPU usage is around 97% when BI window maximized. Minimizing BI window drops CPU usage to 10%. Memory utilization is 1.3GB so no...

    Where do you buy your Dahua Cams?

    Is BEC Technology as responsive to questions about Dahua ip cameras as Andy from Empire? I don't mind paying a little extra for prompt support.
