Having the list of firmwares on the website this is a big improvement on what was before - basically this thread and others. Many of the firmwares listed do have release notes, so someone is trying to be systematic. The latest firmware for this camera family is over a year old, but it seems to...

All I can say is that I installed it and it's working as before - so no major disasters. But, yes, each new firmware version should have release notes. @EMPIRETECANDY ?

Is this the case here? I assume the dav files are not streamed but simply copied when they are complete. No? I'm thinking there may be a problem if the destination storage needs time to wake/spin up and the camera doesn't handle that well.

Download a suspect dav from the camera to a pc via the web interface. Play using VLC. No problem with that?

Which SD card are you using? I'm using a Samsung Pro Endurance and it works flawlessly. Same firmware.

I'm just trying to make the best of what I got. :)

Zoom is set to 1500. (Sorry I know there a FOV calculator somewhere but it's been years since I used it). Distance is about 25m. Condition is daylight. Like I said, it almost got it, so I'm wondering if higher bitrate, for instance, would help here (see current settings).

If this isn't the best place for this question please let me know. Recently a neighbor got their car stolen from the front of their house. The car the thieves arrived in was driven past my house and I recorded its front and back plates on my IPC-HDW5442T-ZE, but just not quite sharp enough to...

I agree with most of what you say but I don't think your car analogy is perfect. No one would expect to buy a car that is advertised to redline at 6000 rpm but in reality can't easily handle 3000 rpm. If there's a camera setting that doesn't ever work well then users should be prevented from...

In my experience the processor in this camera can't handle all the video options that are selectable. For one thing I think it struggles with H265 which has better compression than H264 but needs more processing. Overall I believe this camera has good optics but the processor and firmware...

nm... Looks like updating Andy's dodgy cams with the latest Dahua firmware doesn't produce a desirable result.

FYI for anyone looking for the latest Dahua firmware for this camera you can download it using this link. I have been using it for a month or so and see no regressions from previous versions...

Thank you, guys. It detected the trash truck this morning after setting "Anti-Disturb Enable" to Off. This was the highlight of my week! :rolleyes: Will try the intrusion if I continue to have issues.

I'm using tripwire and I have calibrated (in Global Setup) an area on the road. The trucks are mid green and they appear against the grey asphalt because I am looking down a bit of an incline from about 40 yards away. The one thing about the trucks is that they are slow because they are stopping...

It's 9am so bright daylight. It catches people putting out their bins but misses the trucks! :rolleyes: Sorry, I'm too paranoid to post screenshots. :embarrassed:

It was too good to be true. Missed the trash trucks this morning. Both of them. :(

If you look thru this thread I think you'll find that I did. And I'm still here, so I didn't throw in the towel. As for the Dahua Wiki or docs, how hard would it be for them to say something like "To get the best results with IVS in scenarios x/y/z make sure you perform the Global Setup"...

If the product or its documentation doesn't lead you to do the right thing I don't think I would call it user "error". The documentation for these cameras is not great. The operation manual is more of a reference on how to do something but not why. It doesn't say that the IVS Global Setup can be...

OKAY! After configuring the Global Setup tab for IVS everything seems to be working great. Thank you @looney2ns . I think that my previous camera did not have this which is one reason I missed it. The other reason is that there are a ton of settings that just aren't very well explained in the...

@Wildcat_1 thank you for your kind offer. I may take you up on it sometime but am tight for time these days. @looney2ns I have not performed the Global Setup other than trying with "Anti-Disturb Enable" off. Previously I used a HDW5231R-ZE in the exact same position and had great results with...

I think I have given this camera more than a fair shake to prove itself over the last 6 months but I have to rate it as a big Fail. I've had similar Dahua cameras before so I know what to expect and I know how to set them up, but this camera is not delivering. This camera has good optics but...

It is 1/1.8" and 1/2.8".

I am for sure. But isn't there an option to use events detected by the camera's to trigger recordings on the NVR, Blue Iris based or otherwise? If so, that would be flaky also.

I believe it's the "Record Delay" setting on the "Rule Config" tab of the Event --> IVS page.

Thanks. Good advice but not good enough to make this camera work, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure IVS is flaky on this camera having played with it a few weeks now. While it detects some things it has repeatedly failed to detect a trash truck entering an intrusion zone or crossing a tripwire. I have followed the manual and left space on either sides of the boundaries but...

Which FW version are you using?

Is anyone using the smart functions on this camera? I've been trying to get IVS to work reliably without success. I have followed the Dahua guide on how to set it up but it's still missing some events that should be detected. I am wondering if this a known issue or do I just need to keep keep...
