    Dahua Starlight 40x PTZ - SD6AE240V-HNI

    Hi Andy @EMPIRETECANDY , I don't understand what you mean to say here. You're covering the costs for the return shipment to China? Or do you mean something else?

    Dahua Starlight 40x PTZ - SD6AE240V-HNI

    Let's not forget the costs of having to return a PTZ to China in case of warranty or other issues. Shipping and insurance from my country (Netherlands) to China costs almost 100 euro's. That's something to take into considderation when buying an expensive (500 - 1000 USD) PTZ from Andy or any...

    Nice samples, @pinko. Hope to see more footage of this camera. Any chance of some nighttime footage with autotracking moving objects?

    First time I turned the camera on, held the reset button for 90 seconds and it didn't work. Then I tried it again for 60 seconds and again nothing. A third try I pushed it about 2 or 3 times for just a few seconds and suddenly it worked again. Strange random behaviour, but finally it worked.

    I needed to reset it 4 times in a row before it actually worked

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, factory reset did the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also disconnected it from my POE+ switch and connected it through the powerbrick that originally came with the camera, just to be sure it didn't have a POE+ issue. It now works and i have full control over the camera...

    This seems like a different issue than what i'm experiencing. My SD59 keeps performing power-on-selftests every 2 minutes. It repeats it constantly 24x7 if connected to power. I had to disconnect it and i still have no idea what to do to fix this. I've not been able yet to take the PTZ down to...

    ok, so this isn't an isolated issue .. i wonder how many more members had this and what they did to fix it

    Problem is i need to reset it during the 90 seconds immediately after it finishes the selftests and before it starts powercycling again.

    Unplugging internet didn't solve it. As soon as the SD59 gets power it starts it's selftests (Pan/Tilt) and then i can see it in the Dahua Config tool for about 60 seconds and then it disconnects again. So weird.

    Yes, i unplugged it for a few hours even. But still it keeps doing it's POS every 90 seconds. I will try a hard reset tonight. I hope it brings it back. It's quite a hassle to take down a PTZ at 9 meters high.

    Possibly the stupedist question ever, but do i need to power it on when using the reset switch?

    Since last night my SD59 gave up (i guess it's internally the same as the SD49 in this thread). At midnight it started to reboot every 1,5 minutes and is completely unreachable on the network. I have used the auto-reboot option at midnight since I have this PTZ and it always worked fine. It...

    Same as mine, mate. I guess it's by design. Nothing wrong with it, just damned noisy.

    I'm not sure if you can apply the Dahua SD5xxxx firmware onto your camera. I think it's model/type specific. It would be trial and error, where error would mean you bricked the camera. I'm sorry, but i don't want to be responsible for bricking your camera, mate. So I cannot be of very much help...

    Hi Cesar, perhaps you're not getting any responses because we're not familiar with your camera type. It's not clear to me what question you're asking the forum. Perhaps you should state your questions and maybe we can find answers for you.

    If you can, just make a sound recording of the noise you're experiencing. Then we can hear if it's common or not.

    It's common to this camera. Mine does the same, but some would say i'm too critical about this cam.

    Hahaha, seems like even the smallest criticism brings out the best in some. Well anyways, my mind is set. No SD6AE for me. And @Solar Deity, I expected this kind of bad mouth reaction, so not really a shocker. You should mind your language though. It's below you (or perhaps not). But whatever...

    I guess the subject is now mics instead of actual footage from the SD6AE at night on autotracking with autozoom and slower moving subjects. I keep wondering why it's so hard to upload some more footage? I am starting to disbelieve that this PTZ is actually so much better than the SD59's. I...

    Yeah, that's about what i got out of Andy also. This PTZ is just not up to the task :(. According to Andy I can have what i want when i buy a PTZ worth 1400 USD. No way I'm going to spend such an amount for a PTZ. I would like to take that PTZ for a spin though, @EMPIRETECANDY. Any chance for a...

    Even with enough light (?) it keeps struggling with focus. Should I set it to auto focus or semi auto? Don't forget to watch it at 1080p.
