Worked it out. The PTZ (smart tracking) function is under the camera's configuration and not the NVR's. You access the camera's configuration via the NVR, by logging into the NVR's configuration, go config, network, advanced setting, other and ticking virtual host and save. Then back to system...

Hi all Seeking help on a problem. Just connected a DS2DE4A425IW PTZ into my NVR DS-7616NI-I2 firmware V4.1.64 190726. Works great. Trying to set up smart tracking after setting presets, so follow all instructions to log into NVR via a browser, go looking for PTZ in sub menu (should be between...

Welcome mate.

bigtrue, there are before and after pictures there. Top is before and bottom after.

Update now it is nighttime. Camera is clear and all is okay.

Hi Mike I looked at the reflection possibility also. I'll feel I've fixed the issue but tonight will confirm or not. Cheers

NVR tells me it has 168 watts left, and my cameras are only using 30 odd watts. Thank lewic for all your advice. Cheers

Thanks lewic, again great advice. Will do what you suggest. Cheers

esanto1, I've just upgraded my 8 channel DS 7608NI-I2/8p NVR to a 16 channel. I've put another 3 cameras over the lan onto the NVR and am putting a PTZ later next week. I agree with above in regards to upgrading to a 16 channel. Not now but maybe in the future you will want more cameras and and...

Thanks wittaj. I'm using a Hikvision NVR. Excellent explanation on why 2. Cheers

Hi all I'm about to fit a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ into a location on the corner of my home that currently has a fixed turret mounted watching over my front yard. What are peoples opinions on whether I keep both cameras, the fixed turret covering an area and the PTZ doing it's scanning, or just the...

Thank you for your reply, MadamimAdam. I'm using the Hikvision NVR to power it. Cheers

Hi All Looking at getting the Hikvision PTZ DS-2DE4A425IW . I've been told by the installer it doesn't need separate power to operate the PTZ as it gets what it needs from the POE. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Okay, Mike, finally success due to your post. I couldn't use Solar Winds but used Tftp32 and with this and your post fixed the bricked NVR just over 12 months after bricking it. I thank everyone here who had any input. It was all valuable. I now have a unbricked NVR woo woo.
