    Hikvision PTZ DS-2DF9C435IHS-DLW DarkfighterX

    Hi, Thanks so much for replying... The IR LED's on the PTZ appear in the following pattern when at different rates of zoom... When PTZ is at the lowest zoom rate, the 3 x lower smaller LED's are on. As the zoom rate is increased the 3 x lower smaller LED's increase in intensity and then...

    Hikvision PTZ DS-2DF9C435IHS-DLW DarkfighterX

    Hi, I have the Hikvision DarkfighterX PTZ model DS-2DF9C435IHS-DLW. I'm attempting to clarify what the purpose of highlighted LED's in the screen shot below are for? They're similar in appearance to the LED's on a Hikvision ColorVu cam that I have, which give off 'white visible light'...

    Hikvision FTP Site Username & Password

    Thanks for the information... The PTZ is a H5 and the only place I can find firmware is off the Hikvision website (it's on the International website for the specific PTZ model). The firmware file is IPDHG_H5_L1_EN_STD_5.5.27_200109 so the firmware files for the 'normal' T2 PTZ's don't work...

    PTZ Model Difference - DS-2DF9C435IHS-DLW

    Hi, I recently ordered the Hikvision PTZ model DS-2DF9C435IH-DLW however the supplier sent me the model DS-2DF9C435IHS-DLW. These models are from the Hikvision Darkfighter X range. I'm deciding if I should keep the model DS-2DF9C435IHS-DLW and get a refund for the cost difference and the...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    Howdy, no worries RE posting the firmware update, happy to help out. Now that you have 5.5.6 build 200628 installed you can install the original version of 5.5.6 build 180511 or whatever other version you like (e.g. 5.5.0 170907) and see if the flicking still occurs. With the flicking I don't...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    G'day everyone, I have after nearly 18 months of constant emails managed to convince Hikvision to allow me to downgrade my DS-DF8236IX-AELW PTZ from firmware 5.6.0 190130 to 5.5.6!!! Yes, you heard right! Downgrade from firmware 5.6.0 with all its issues with noise reduction not functioning...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    Hi, no problems at all. I know what you mean with firmware 5.6.0 build 190130. Using the my PTZ (DS-2DF8236IX-AELW) was a constant reminder of all things wrong with that version of firmware. Build 190701 fixed the grainy image however I would prefer if Hikvision re-enabled the Exposure Level...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    I've noticed that looking through the settings that are now visible, many resemble the settings that are available by default with my Dahua PTZ model DH-SD6AL245U-HNI-IR (x45 zoom PTZ). For example, with Smart Event, Intrusion Detection option, with my Dahua PTZ you can set a MAX. and MIN. size...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    Hi Stewart, Hope all is well... I managed to find the setting in DOM Explorer on my PTZ (model again is DS-2DF8236IX-AELW). Took a bunch of expanding the various configuration items. Is there a way to auto-expand each item without having to manual click, check repeat etc. etc? No worries if...

    HI Stewart, Thanks very much for the ISAPI programming lesson mate! I greatly appreciate all your time on this. I'm off to bed as I have work in the morning!!! :sleepy::sleepy::sleepy: (4 hours time!!!). Sensational, thank you for the webGUI settings/instructions. I'll have a smash (haha)...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    I can now have the PTZ Image settings at the defaults and overexposure functions much better when view car license plates... (as compared to having to adjust the Brightness value to 9 out of 100)...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    Copy that! Nice-n-easy :-) … it's making sense... I've experimented with ExposureType as 'auto' and OverexposeSuppress as 'True'.... definitely changes how the PTZ re-acts to car number plates (license plates) at night when in IR mode (it's 2.46am Monday 3rd February in here in Perth - Western...
