    Password is wrong and GetEvents error?

    Get Events errors have always been solved by turning off ONVIF Authentication in the camera GUI as @wittaj suggested. I now have it turned off on all my Dahua cameras. But it's definitely odd you can't add the camera to BI now that it has been removed.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    You need to look up the specs of your NVR. If the ports don't support POE+, then it can't power your camera. You'd have to use an injector or another POE+ switch between the camera and NVR.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Yes, all POE switch ports can be used with or without POE equipment on the other end of the link. The ports auto negotiate with the end device if power needs to be sent or not.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    This is the exact one I'm using to power a outdoor POE passthrough switch which also, in turn, powers my 5A4M. Working solid and no issues. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QCGV6C7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Yeah, you don't need that power supply if using a POE+ switch or injector. An injector is the easy route if your current switch doesn't support POE+. The power supply that came with my camera is sitting in the box in the attic.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Haha. Yeah. If don’t need the 45x zoom, then I still think 5A4M is the better camera. Might as well take advantage of the larger sensor size.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Doubt it. But, yes, you need lots of light to run color at night. That is why I chose that camera. I have lots of light AND the 5A4M has a large sensor size. It's a win-win.

    @JPmedia Yes, you do need lots of light to run pretty much any camera in color at night. Here is what auto tracking looked like last night on the 5A4M...

    I have the 5A4M. I want a larger sensor size for nighttime since I run it in color 24/7. Excellent camera.

    Panoramic PTZ

    Is that the only area of your camera that you can setup tracking? On my PTZ5A4M, I setup auto tracking under the IVS setting of the Smart Plan.

    Panoramic PTZ

    About a year ago when I was looking to a add wide angle and vehicle/auto tracking to my business parking lot, I also went looking for a combo ptz/panoramic like you are. The problem is, none of them have good sensor sizes. I ended up just installing two cams: 4K-X (in 2.8mm) and a PTZ5A4M...

    This Wide Angle Cam Looks Fun !!! BUT does it work with BI ???

    Not the right sensor size for MP. Yes, it will work with BI. But it just one LARGE scene at 5120 × 1440. So that means, everything will be "squished" down. The better fisheye and panoramic cams have the ability to break out multiple steams/channels of the main panorama at a regular...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I'm impressed with how quickly they switch from IR to color. I may have to get one of these.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Do you run those cams in IR behind glass? I’m just wondering if reflection in IR or white light mode would be an issue.

    Move from DeepStack to CodeProject?

    If you like to tinker, CPAI will be right up your alley. I’ve found it unreliable personally.
