    I bet a lot of you belong to the "HVAC crapped out at the worst time" club.

    Sorry to hear about your HVAC failure.. Yes, I have an International Comfort Products 3.5 ton AC unit (apparently that's the parent company of Carrier), it has failed twice in the last 5 years, both due to failures of the start capacitor, and at nearly the worst time each failure. I finally got...

    Forum technical problems getting bad?

    Update: Took the last 45 minutes to finally get a clean "New Threads" list. Today I've seen several different error pages; e.g.: proxy errors, SSL connection errors, and plain connection timeouts (mostly the cloudflare maintenance page, error reference number 522). Because of the varying...

    Forum technical problems getting bad?

    Update to my earlier post (#104) in this thread: I finally saw the the cloudflare error page from 25 til about 10 mins ago (ie at least a 15 minute outage). It would help us “partition the problem” between cloudflare and the main forum server if the forum admins would say if the forum was down...

    Forum technical problems getting bad?

    I have been reading this forum regularly, usually several times per day, think I have even hit all different hours of the day over the last few weeks. Several months ago, I definitely saw a ton of problems at the same time others were complaining about forum slowness or errors. Recently (last...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    +1 for Dahua changing their firmware to store focus with PTZ preset!! I think this single/minor feature would make it much easier to use big PTZs for long-range LPR, thus could potentially open-up new revenue opportunities for whichever manufacturers implement it.. Dahua/Andy- are you...

    EmpireTech PTZ4K45X-AI / SD8C845FG-HNF - Discontinued

    I am not aware of a replacement model available yet, but IIRC Andy said in a previous post that a very similar successor model of the PTZ4K45X-AI is supposedly expected within the next few months.

    PTZ Camera Recommendation

    Andy posted recently that a Dahua successor to the 45X 1/1.2 4K PTZ is in the works, expected to be available within the next few months. IIRC, it looked very similar specs to the recently EOL'd 45X 1/1.2 PTZ (Dahua model SD8C845FG-HNF), so my guess is the newer model will be just a minor...

    Dahua camera PTZ doesn't save manual focus

    I remember being annoyed by a Dahua PTZ I used to own (with the same grey/orange GUI) that refocused occasionally when I didn't want it to, but sorry I can't test my suggestion, because I no-longer own that cam. I suggest you try setting Focus Mode to Manual for all of your profiles (e.g.: Day...

    New PTZ cam from Andy question.

    In some Dahua firmware versions, they call it a "tour". I haven't used the feature, but in the older grey/yellow WebUI, I read somewhere that you can save PTZ "preset" positions, then tell the tour to use a list of presets. YMMV by model and firmware version. :)

    Does a 1/1.2” IR camera exist?

    I assume you're already aware of the Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI ? (Andy's part# for the Dahua SD8C845FG-HNF) It can do B&W w/IR or Color w/white-LEDs, but it's pricey (> $2k). On the plus side, it's picture quality is pretty good. :) I believe Hikvision also has one large-sensor 2MP PTZ cam, but...

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    I haven't seen any way to configure Dahua PTZs to switch lights on/off when starting or stopping autotracking, so I don't believe they can.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Awesome!! Thank you for the lightning-fast response! (FWIW, I asked Andy privately, but haven't received any reply about this same question in 2 days, so I very much appreciate the info) Bonus question: Don't suppose any of the other substreams allow MJPEG streams? (say one of lower resolution...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Can anybody who has one of these Color-4M-T cams tell me for certain if it's possible to configure MJPEG encoding on any stream with a resolution of 1920x1080 or higher? If so, what is the highest bitrate allowed specifically for MJPEG? I have been able to configure MJPEG at 1920x1080 at...

    Daylight Savings. How did everyone's cameras do?

    (Yes, I realize I'm replying to an old post here) I have not had PTZ control problem(s) on mine after any DST time changes (including today). Just curious- are you still having any SD8C845FG-HNF PTZ control issues right after DST changes? The firmware I have is system version...
