    DH-SD6AL433XA-HNR Tracking Issues

    Agree 100% on the yardsticks, and I've increased my sensitivity on all the cameras as well. They are working great, thank you, Bigredfish, for all your help and for posting your camera settings. Also, thank you, Wittaj, for your reply and advice. Both of you have been tremendous help to this...

    DH-SD6AL433XA-HNR Tracking Issues

    All I can say is WOW! Thank you, Bigredfish, for sharing your camera settings. I copied your settings, and both PTZs are tracking better than when they were new. I'm wondering what the effect of your bitrate of 12288 versus mine at 8192 may have contributed to some of the issues? Thank you again...

    DH-SD6AL433XA-HNR Tracking Issues

    Thank you, gentlemen, for your replies and suggestions. I haven't done a factory reset yet since I'm still trying to diagnose, but interesting results from testing yesterday at sundown. The PTZs had switched to black and white, and both 433 PTZs tracked perfectly. In the B/W mode, while the sun...

    DH-SD6AL433XA-HNR Tracking Issues

    Thank you, Wittaj and Bigredfish, for replying. I did make some adjustments to the image to make it more distinguishable, but I still have some tracking issues. The main problem is that once the target is identified and locked on, within 2 seconds of acquisition, the camera loses the target and...

    DH-SD6AL433XA-HNR Tracking Issues

    I'm checking to see if there may be a firmware upgrade that would correct some recent tracking problems that have arisen on one of our PTZs, DH-SD6AL433XA-HNR. Maybe someone who has the same or a similar PTZ has run into the same issue and has a fix. The PTZ is wandering and losing its target...

    Networking NVR with 2 Switches - Unsuccessful to Date, Need Help

    Problem: Dahua Switch is not being recognized by Dahua NVR. I have tried plugging the Dahua PFS4226 switch uplink ethernet cord into the second NVR RJ45 uplink receptacle with no success but when plugging the Dahua switch uplink ethernet cord into the Cisco 110 Series switch the NVR connects to...

    Replaced NVR with new NVR and Cameras say "Failed to find Network Host"

    Thank you for the quick reply Flintstone61. Using the old NVR I was able to get one of the 3 cameras to go back to factory default since none of the 3 cameras allowed me to modify their IP address. The second camera went to factory default but kept its NVR-assigned IP address 10.1.1.x and I...

    Replaced NVR with new NVR and Cameras say "Failed to find Network Host"

    Thank you Mark M and Flintstone61 for your responses and great suggestions. I was able to get 12 out of 15 cameras batched IP change using the Config Tool. I'm going to connect the old NVR to the 3 that don't show up to see what's up with them and get their IP addresses so I can manually...

    Replaced NVR with new NVR and Cameras say "Failed to find Network Host"

    Mark: Thank you for your reply and help. You are correct "Camera IP address is in the wrong subnet to the NVR, e.g cameras are on 10.1.1.x and the NVR is on 192.168.1.x.". The old NVR had the cameras directly connected to the NVR and changed the cameras to 10.1.1.X and the new NVR has the...

    Replaced NVR with new NVR and Cameras say "Failed to find Network Host"

    I was running a Dahua NVR5216 but due to its limited bandwidth, I upgraded to a NVR608H-32-XI using a Dahua switch PFS4226-24ET-240 plugged into the NVR RJ45 port and an ePoE switch (EmpireTech 10-Port Unmanaged Switch with 8-Port ePoE) plugged into the second RJ45 port of the PFS4226-24ET-240...

    PTZ Tracking Resets to Preset when Person Stops Moving

    All great points I never thought about, "as is" sounds best and I agree with Wittaj, more spotter cams are the best solution for any blind spot outside of the PTZs presets. Thank you guys for your replies, much appreciated.

    PTZ Tracking Resets to Preset when Person Stops Moving

    I am trying to have the PTZs continue to track a person even after they have stopped moving for more than 10 seconds. I find that when a person stops moving for 5 to 10 seconds the PTZ will go back to its original Preset settings and then when the person moves (if they're in the initial Preset...

    I ordered the following items from Andy and need advice on how to properly connect the 2 switches to the NVR and the NVR to my LAN switch (Cisco CBS 110 16T) to maximize performance (bandwidth). NVR608H-32-XI (Network Ports: 2 (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps Ethernet port, RJ-45)) PFS4226-24ET-240...
