Not sure if this is the right place, apologies if not. I have this unbranded 4k camera which switches every few seconds between black and white, and color, when it gets dusk. There are two sliders, labelled as per the subject. I don't really understand how they interact. I've tried max and...

Is this a unit that has previously been stable?

I found this video on Youtube: which seems to involve clicking the panorama PTZ, looks like a sort of software zoom on a 180 or 360 degree camera.

I think that refers to a feature available on cameras like this: 8x2MP 360° Multi-sensor Panoramic + 2MP PTZ – Dahua North America I had a look on my camera and that button to click for it is not present. I also have a 180 degree camera, and it's not there either, so I'd say the feature was not...

So, one was "brand new" although I have no idea how long it was in a warehouse before coming to me, the other was at least two years old. It was used so I don't have an exact purchase date.

What is a panorama ptz?

So, I was fortunate enough to have two of these side by side on the test bench. The older one I bought used was 100% rock solid, the newer one kept restarting. This was consistent between swapping cables, poe injectors or ports on an nvr. Cables are a great place to start but that behaviour...

Sorry for the delay... On the web interface, go to Settings -> System -> General > Install mode and change it to "Inverted".

Dangle the cable from above, should be able to take a few spins without getting to messy. Anyone got the pinout's for the camera?

Investigating the temperature issue, the bench test of the two cameras was at room temperature, so cold wouldn't have been a factor, and the dodgy one was still rebooting. Regarding the logs, the reboot message changed depending on the firmware I was using, logs attached earlier in this thread...

Did that in post #121..

Okay, an update from me.. firstly Dahua UK Support have said the camera "sounds faulty" and to contact my distributor for a replacement, I also acquired a used one today and have the two running side by side on the same Dahua NVR. I was also sent a new firmware by them prior to this and the...

Indeed it can, that's how mine is mounted. It's bigger than you think though.

I originally had an SD card in mine, I took it out as part of testing, made no difference to the restarts.. Am I right in thinking that the three (four?) of us here with problems are all purchases in the last year, and all the no-issue owners are older cameras? Does that fit?
