    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Seems it keeps doing it, maybe because it pans down to far? I don't recall it doing this initially.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, I've encountered an issue with PTZ auto tracking stopped working, became stuck & centred on a pole that's near it because I was on the other side. Had been working for weeks after setting up as per Resetting it doesn't seem to have worked, so today I've gone...

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    So SD5A425GA-HNR replaces SD5A425XA, has Dahua stopped making SD5A425XA? Is there much difference between them? I see a few local distributors where I live have listed as SD5A425XA as discontinued.

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    Anyone have any opinions on SD4A425DB vs SD5A425XA? Based on CMOS SD5A425XA would be winner at night, but what about other feature comparison? This is a great chart, how does this account for SD4A425DB as that would sit in the red correct?

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Don't think this has been mentioned, I'm seeing a large & sustained CPU increase & usage when using a browser (IE, Edge, Firefox) just to access the login page of this camera, compared with other cameras I have. Any ideas what may be causing this?

    Best Day/Night Settings? IPC-T5442T-ZE, IPC-T5842T-ZE, IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E

    What setting is the noise reduction that you're referring to here? As it's not clear & your other posts on this don't mention it either, & I can't see any setting that mentions this. Thanks

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    @105437 possibly share or maybe start new thread, no idea if one exists? I don't have the hardware, was more curious as I'm looking at options.

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    Slightly related, but would there be a way to use a motion sensor instead of a spotter camera? Obviously it may not do the same job, just thinking different environment set up & application.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Yeah I much rather run PoE instead of cable + power. I don't remember where the original post was. But how & why would this happen, & because software or hardware? Doesn't seem to make sense & I obviously don't get it EDIT: yeah switch I have is for PoE+, several cameras already all PoE/PoE+...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    What does this means, specifically the limit? Like will it stop working or something? Can this be run just on PoE only? How would one attach this to a square post (70mm wide) or a carport gutter?

    The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection

    Great video. 7:33 mark @EMPIRETECANDY EmpireTech gets a mention :thumb: . Never really understood sensor size before, but this explanation now makes sense
