    IP PTZ Camera No longer powering up

    Without knowing your power setup you may try a 12 adaptor with a higher amperage rating as close to the camera as possible.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    One of the companies i work with installs the majority of the PTZ cameras I've helped install. I'm trying to talk him into intergrating a spotter camera. (i don't think we will) We only use 1 home position and it works great, but unless something enters the HOME positions field of view it...

    We usually do a simple setup with 1 home position.. 360 sec of tracking before returning to home if it loses tracking. Intrusion as apposed to tripwire or smd. 300 sec. not 360. but it depends.....

    I hate installing ptz cameras....with that said we just installed 3 - PDN5AI825H-GR ptz's Lot of ambiant lighting. Customers seem to like the tracking ability of the PTZ's and it seems to give one of the co. i do some work for an advantage over other co.s that dont offer ptz cameras. We've...

    HSM2108 PowerSeries Neo 8 Hardwire Zone Expander-not working

    I thought the phone providers had 4g LTE band specific for alarm communicators that doesn't sundown until 2050. I didn't pay much attention to the specifics. just the 2050 sundown.....and i'm not an alm guy so may be way off. :idk:

    Dahua Keeps Changing IP When Static

    I'm still a bit puzzled why the ip address would change on the cameras that are connected to the switch in the shop. You obviously have not added more cameras than your NVR is capable of processing. While 1 poe port on the back of the nvr is most likely 100mb, which is more than enough...

    Dahua Keeps Changing IP When Static

    plug your tp link poe switch into a vacant router port. I'm gonna assume you did it this way because it was easier to run the cables like you have them, but each poe port on the back of the nvr is suposed to be for only 1 camera. You may have to run a cable from your router to the TPlink poe...

    Dahua Keeps Changing IP When Static

    5 x of cameras are connected straight into the NVR, and other 3 are on a unmanaged TP link switch. TP switch gets connected to 1 of the POE ports back of the NVR. I've seen this work, but it's not the proper way.. Which cameras are changing ip adress? Would it be the ones going to the...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Haven't read anythig in this thread. As far as i know dahua only makes 2 or less NPR cameras. They usualy are 2mp varifocal cams. Big ass cameras. The GUI has all kinds of stuff but nothing you can't read up on.... and yes with the right NVR just a few settings need to be done and the plate...

    How to find password of cameras?

    You purchased from a non rip off piece of shit....or (reputable person) I think most sellers should default the camera. If it will not reset to factory default he should not sell the camera without a disclaimer it may not reset and they do not know the password. If they refuse to help with...

    Dahua cam down, problem with the network cable, one of the wires is broken

    Yep. It helps if yo u have a good test meter that can do TDR and other features. But yes Tony is correct. 7 wires will work most likely if you do it as he said at each end. It may be worth looking at if you can use mode A for power or you could even power it via 12VDC if that is possible. Ypu...

    Need help understanding the difference between these cameras

    This may not be applicable to your situation. Some cameras/nvrs have corridor mode. I's especially good for hallways. Not gonna help with 10ft to 40 ft length fence, but in the proper location it's a great feature to try out.
