    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    update - PTZ Idle motion still only works when you manually move the ptz away from a preset. I've re-enabled Time event to bring it back to a desired preset.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    did the same with 7 of mine also, no reset/nothing, just upgrade. A Note though - As I upgrade through the NVR's web browser, opening the camera tab from within the NVR, I sometimes had to close, and reopen the web browser, as it appeared the camera wouldnt go into update mode. it would just...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    This is the exact issue i had upon purchase of this camera. I went with a "DaHua Hi-PoE Midspan - PFT1200" dedicated HI-POE injector. I still get the occasional reboot, but frequency is more like once a month. I did try a number of firmware versions before i got the POE injector, and the...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    Oh, immediately this solved the issue I have. irrelevant of what moved the PTZ. Question is though, being a Time Task, does it count to X seconds, then repeat continually? or does the counter reset and begin after a motion/ivs/tracking event. Ie, what happens if it is in the middle of tracking...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    Ahh ok, interesting.. What sort of problems have you experienced? I've used it successfully on my 5442's for quite some time without noticing anything. For the most part, the PTZ sits at 3xxx kbps until vehicles drive past.. Originally i had VBR set to 16xxx, but was still experiencing some...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    Hi looney.. I learnt early not to make changes with NVR web interface and Smartpss, but rather from the camera's web interface directly. Even spun up a windows 7 / ie11 virtual machine to i could experience the webplugin in full force :) As a small update to my previous post, I've reloaded the...

    How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

    Having acquired a PTZ camera, and running windows 11. I wanted the ability to be able to full screen the camera feed in order to setup my IVS rules. This was only possible in IE with the plug in to my knowledge. I couldn't do this in chrome, firefox or pale moon, or whatever. (If you have a...

    Camera names revert back to Channelx randomly?

    @Griswalduk, I've made Andy aware of this issue, which he has reported to Dahua. I thought it was worth creating a post as well to create further understanding to see who else is experiencing it, and possibly help understand the triggers to fix this bug. In terms of your comment only happens...

    Camera names revert back to Channelx randomly?
