    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    +1 for Dahua changing their firmware to store focus with PTZ preset!! I think this single/minor feature would make it much easier to use big PTZs for long-range LPR, thus could potentially open-up new revenue opportunities for whichever manufacturers implement it.. Dahua/Andy- are you...

    EmpireTech PTZ4K45X-AI / SD8C845FG-HNF - Discontinued

    I am not aware of a replacement model available yet, but IIRC Andy said in a previous post that a very similar successor model of the PTZ4K45X-AI is supposedly expected within the next few months.

    PTZ Camera Recommendation

    Andy posted recently that a Dahua successor to the 45X 1/1.2 4K PTZ is in the works, expected to be available within the next few months. IIRC, it looked very similar specs to the recently EOL'd 45X 1/1.2 PTZ (Dahua model SD8C845FG-HNF), so my guess is the newer model will be just a minor...

    Dahua camera PTZ doesn't save manual focus

    I remember being annoyed by a Dahua PTZ I used to own (with the same grey/orange GUI) that refocused occasionally when I didn't want it to, but sorry I can't test my suggestion, because I no-longer own that cam. I suggest you try setting Focus Mode to Manual for all of your profiles (e.g.: Day...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    In some Dahua firmware versions, they call it a "tour". I haven't used the feature, but in the older grey/yellow WebUI, I read somewhere that you can save PTZ "preset" positions, then tell the tour to use a list of presets. YMMV by model and firmware version. :)

    Does a 1/1.2” IR camera exist?

    I assume you're already aware of the Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI ? (Andy's part# for the Dahua SD8C845FG-HNF) It can do B&W w/IR or Color w/white-LEDs, but it's pricey (> $2k). On the plus side, it's picture quality is pretty good. :) I believe Hikvision also has one large-sensor 2MP PTZ cam, but...

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    I haven't seen any way to configure Dahua PTZs to switch lights on/off when starting or stopping autotracking, so I don't believe they can.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Awesome!! Thank you for the lightning-fast response! (FWIW, I asked Andy privately, but haven't received any reply about this same question in 2 days, so I very much appreciate the info) Bonus question: Don't suppose any of the other substreams allow MJPEG streams? (say one of lower resolution...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Can anybody who has one of these Color-4M-T cams tell me for certain if it's possible to configure MJPEG encoding on any stream with a resolution of 1920x1080 or higher? If so, what is the highest bitrate allowed specifically for MJPEG? I have been able to configure MJPEG at 1920x1080 at...

    Daylight Savings. How did everyone's cameras do?

    (Yes, I realize I'm replying to an old post here) I have not had PTZ control problem(s) on mine after any DST time changes (including today). Just curious- are you still having any SD8C845FG-HNF PTZ control issues right after DST changes? The firmware I have is system version...

    SMTP Relay server issues?

    Long-time lurker here -- I appreciate years of great info from this forum.. Yes, I believe I know what's happening and why, after doing several experiments and packet-captures: The Email settings page is poorly-worded IMO, making it ripe for confusion about what some of the fields actually do...
