More Stars, More Satellites, Plus Andromeda
We didn't have a cloud clearing for the solar eclipse, but the night after, dark conditions made even a glimpse of Milky Way glow possible through wispy clouds. 01:50 into video, numerous satellites are traveling (east) down & across the sky. 02:17 to 02:23 the fuzzy core of Andromeda galaxy...- guykuo

Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset
As a might as well try it measure, I did this to a PTZ5A4M-25X http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].ConfigEx=Night http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].TimeSectionEX[0]=00:00:00-24:00:00 Night In the 5.0... -
Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset
The new Web 5.0 GUI cameras will respond correctly to the old CGI calls if and only if one first sets them to Self-Adaptive working mode in the web GUI. That leaves them in a state that will accept the old CGI commands issued by software written to control the older cameras via... -
Troubleshooting Circuitry in Old SD49225T-HN PTZ Cameras
Did two experiments today. 1. Test what happens if you power up the camera without an EEPROM in place? Is there a copy of the firmware in the battery backed up RAM? Result - Camera powers up and then the PTZ system does its horizontal and vertical motion motions. However, the camera does not... -
Troubleshooting Circuitry in Old SD49225T-HN PTZ Cameras
That is the adapter I am now awaiting. End of April - early May estimated arrival. I have not (for decades) had any old school EEPROMS that would fit the 40 pin ZIF without an adapter. Back then, it was cobble together your own programmer with an external power supply, parallel port, and write... -
Troubleshooting Circuitry in Old SD49225T-HN PTZ Cameras
From what I'm now gathering Xgecu makes their adapter incompatible between models of their programmers. The T48 (3rd Gen TL866II) won't work with TL866II or TL866II plus adapters. Given the same 40 pin ZIF socket and TL866II family, I had not expected that to be an issue. -
Troubleshooting Circuitry in Old SD49225T-HN PTZ Cameras
After a few hours of fruitless work trying to get MiniPro GUI installed and running on my Mac.... 1. MiniPro on MacOS will not work with the T48 programmer, not at least with the release version of MiniPro. Apparently, brewing from GitLab directly might get a revision that does support T48, but... -
PTZ Horizontal line setup
I have never seen a circular level that can be read from BELOW. They all have been read from above and were designed to be placed atop a surface. Below the mounting arm would be upside down placement. I'm surprised you found a circular level that can be used in that orientation. -
PTZ Horizontal line setup
^^^^ This ^^^^ Unfortunately, this is only fixable by physically leveling camera mounting. -
Night of Fluffy Clouds
You should be able to get some nice captures with that Dobsonian and camera. Envious here. You have a lot more light gathering power than our little security cams. Still, I'm floored at what the Dahua sensors are managing with their short shutter times. Every time I want to get a real scope, I...- guykuo

Will have to look at that. Would beat pulling down my Windows laptop that is dedicated to Smokeless Range. -
Troubleshooting Circuitry in Old SD49225T-HN PTZ Cameras
ROR!!!! That bodged on capacitor on the POE power board. I had forgotten I had added that ages ago to permit powering a microphone. Found it in an old thread of mine. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/modification-sd49225t-hn-add-external-microphone-power.31714/#post-294280 -
External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?
I mod the cameras to back feed 12 volts OUT of their 12 volt input for the Microseven. That lets the camera do the voltage conversion from POE and provides a handy 12 volt output. The mics pull very little power. Course, that will probably void your warranty and you also break the water tight... -
Orion Nebula and Satellite on PTZ cam
Captured on an EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X last night. Orion had dropped low enough for the PTZ to aim at sword. Had to run with shutter speed 750 msec, but got some interesting footage. Might have to modify this PTZ to give it some more upward tilt range. The stock position sensor configuration...- guykuo

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. -

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...- guykuo

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