@BayAreaDave Okay - I think I had the same issue and here is what I found (after LOTS of digging). For whatever reason, if you set the frame rate and I-frame interval the same (which on the 2mp model I did just fine) the camera has a problem doing the compression correctly. Instead, make sure...

I know I'm somewhat necro'ing an old post.. but THANK YOU! I recently replaced my 2mp starlights with the new 4mp (HDW5442TM) and had the exact same issue. VBR 15fps 15 i-frame and it just looked like trash. Doubled the i-frame to 30 and IT IS SO MUCH BETTER! Might still have some tweaking to...

Thank you very much @bigredfish and @biggen for sharing this information (and @wopi82 for the write up biggen linked)! This is exactly what I was hoping for! Great beginning information to get us noobs started! I have bookmarked both - and agree that if it hasn't already, some of this would be...

Just out of curiosity - for us that are new to setting up cameras... what is the best approach for tuning a new camera? I would hazard a guess that there isn't a single "best" way - but speaking for myself, I haven't setup one before (mine are on default with only one or two small adjustments...

Anyone try filling out the NDA and submitting it?

V2.800.0000000.11.R.191230 seems to be the newest with fixed IR. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/ipc-hx4xxx-volt_multilang_pn_stream3_v2-800-0000000-11-r-191230.45969/

I believe there was a problem with the Smart IR initially with the new Dahua's. There was a firmware update that fixed it - have you updated the firmware to the latest? - DeadEnd

I can attest, certain bugs do like them - especially in the cold winter weather. One of my cameras looked like this during a cold day... I'm sure they were there for the warmth. They got a healthy does of something-to-get-rid-of-them... Cheers! DeadEnd

I have used the pallet you mentioned (node-red-contrib-dahua-device to be specific). It connected to my camera without issue - and appears to publish fine. I actually used it to try and capture what is happening to my SD card (very so often I check and the SD card is not showing up, a restart of...

Hello all, I have two IPC-HDW5231R-ZE camera's that I have had setup for some time now. I recently setup continuous recording of the stream on a server, and had a question about file size. For reference (if it makes an impact the cameras are both setup as H.265 with smart codec on. Resolution...
