    Just to follow up. Not sure why, but all of a sudden the mp4 will download from IE. No changes made to system other than rebooting cameras.

    Thank you for any/all help. "About IE" states: Version 11.0.9.9600.19356 Update version 11.0.125 (kb4498206) Does this version have known compatibility issues?

    Can't download mp4 from dahua nvr (but can dav)?

    Ok. Thank you. I will try Smart Pss. I too get the same option as you've shown for mp4 but for some reason nothing happens when I click ok. It does work however for the dav option.

    IVS autotracking SD5A425GA-HNR

    Using palemoon seems to function well with PTZ. Trying to setup autotracking on SD5A425GA-HNR. Have created preset. Not seeing option for smartplan nor IVS nor autotracking. Where do I look?

    PTZ ir illuminator adjustment control absent?

    The hard reset of the ptz did the trick. Now I can set the ir illuminator power. In the process however I ran into difficulty with the cam password. The camera, the nvr, and the lan pc - all seemed to NOT agree on the password (intermittently). In other words, I set the same password on all...

    PTZ ir illuminator adjustment control absent?

    I reset the cam with small button in back of ptz and for some reason neither the nvr nor a pc on the lan recognizes the ptz anymore. Ideas?

    PTZ ir illuminator adjustment control absent?

    Thank you. Could you please confirm that the cam itself has the plugin onboard and ready to install into the browser? In other words my nvr LAN is not connected to internet but nonetheless it appears that the plugin gets installed via memory on the cam. Or is internet connection required to...

    PTZ ir illuminator adjustment control absent?

    Thanks for the reply. After mounting cam on building I've tried accessing via the nvr and also on LAN via pc and firefox. During bench testing the illuminator controls did in fact appear on the nvr controls.

    PTZ ir illuminator adjustment control absent?

    I tried swapping power supplies to no avail. Also restarting ptz. The ir LEDs switch depending on zoom but they appear to be at ~50% (guessing here). Why is there no option to adjust the illuminators? Any ideas whatsoever? Please? With sugar on top?

    PTZ ir illuminator adjustment control absent?

    Bench tested a new SD5A425GA-HNR ptz with a Dahua nvr. All worked well, including test of ir illuminator with nvr control... normal illuminator options were available (auto/manual/0-100). However after installing the ptz on building the nvr control does not show option to adjust illuminator...

    POE for PTZ cameras

    Thank you. Not sure I understand. A. Is not the 802.3at spec for only 30 watts? B. Dahua lists powersupply spec at 2.5 amps (60 watts) but only 21 watts consumption by the ptz. What spec do we use for purposes of determining PoE? From Dahua spec sheet SD5A425GA-HNR

    POE for PTZ cameras

    Additionally, is the idea to run poe+ power via the sole cat6 connection to the ptz? Or, is it to also add power (in addition to poe+ via cat6) via the ptz power leads (black & red wires)?

    POE for PTZ cameras

    How about the SD5A425GA-HNR ? Will this ptz work properly if powered by something like this? https://a.co/d/euVhtUB Or is it preferable to power it the way you described?

    3(or more) PoE switches to one Dahua non-PoE NVR?

    Dahua turret mount comparison?

    Two questions on the mounts shown below. Camera itself is the same. Mounting on vertical wall. 1. Purely cosmetic difference? Or is perhaps mount B more weather resistant? Any functional difference between mount A and mount B? 2. The access panel for micro sd card... it is labeled to keep...

    Thank you, again. Please, I would like to connect 8 cameras each to 3 PoE switches (total 24 cams). Then connect these 3 PoE switches to another PoE switch (acting as hub in star topology, yes?) I would like the option to use a vlan at some point. Which arrangement would you install... All...

    Managed vs unmanaged PoE switches is irrelavent? Any mix thereof - no matter?

    3(or more) PoE switches to one Dahua non-PoE NVR?

    That reply is very helpful. Thank you. Please confirm: Given a non-PoE NVR, I can layer as many PoE switches as needed just as long as the maximum number of channels/cams spec'd by the NVR is not exceeded. Correct?

    3(or more) PoE switches to one Dahua non-PoE NVR?

    Dahua NVR5432-4KS2 connect to 3 (or more?) PoE switches... Is it possible? Does the NVR have enough inputs to allow this? If not, is there a workaround? Any compromise in doing so? (This is for ~2 dozen 4mp Dahua cams in residential setting) Thank you.

    Is there a prevailing/preferred 16 port poe+ switch make or model? Truth be told I do not presently need poe+. Rather just trying to anticipate future possible need.

    Dahua NVR, POE switch, network - newbie questions

    Well I be damned. I thought it meant 8 poe ports and 8 poe+ ports. Thank you for catching that.
