    Slow DB access message, what to do?

    That seems like a LOT of files for that amount of storage. Try making your cam clips to 1 hour.

    DB6L ISSUES - PLAYBACK // LENS CLARITY @ NIGHT

    Not sure on that, here are my settings I use and things you must do for it to work good in BI. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/review-dahua-empiretech-new-doorbell-cam-db6l-5mp.60656/post-640593

    For those who forgot or misplaced their BI key (solution)

    If you can't find your license code you can always install this: GitHub - bp2008/biupdatehelper: A Windows service which helps manage Blue Iris updates It will find your key from the BI registry, provided you are not installing from scratch on a clean system of course.

    I did not see this on my 2 family members machines. I simply re-entered their code for the maintenance plan. The software did NOT go out of service mode the entire time. BTW, you can run BI in service mode while in demo mode.

    DB6L ISSUES - PLAYBACK // LENS CLARITY @ NIGHT

    You must use SmartPSS and then you can configure the doorbell.

    DB6L ISSUES - PLAYBACK // LENS CLARITY @ NIGHT

    Did you format the SD card (using the storage manager in DMSS) ? It should show capacity and free space if it formatted correctly.

    I always run a utility that backs up the entire BI registry for things like this and since I test new releases. It has been a VERY useful tool :)

    3 of my family's BI installs all went to Eval mode, but mine stayed intact ?? Must just be a timing thing maybe ? All are connected to Internet at all times.

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

    Do you feel this is also present in the SD5A425GA-HNR? I will attach another tracking example here for you to see. I do see some blocking in grass, but I guess I can accept that, the subject seems to remain good. This is a customer that knows I see everyone before they ring my doorbell :)...

    PTZ question for any of the newer Dahua auto tracking models.

    Have you ever disassembled the camera and clean the lens on the inside? My old SD49225 required this once and it made a big difference. When I swapped it out for my new SD5A425GA-HNR I took SD49225 apart and cleaned it again before giving it to my daughter. It's still going strong :)

    More sidewalk action :)

    She actually went down in my yard, but it was in the shadow of my tree. Might have to go back to IR mode on my other cam to get better lighting there :) The night people know not to use my front sidewalk now as the outdoor floods will come on.

    PTZ question for any of the newer Dahua auto tracking models.

    Sure can, all that part works great. It is mostly just using the arrow keys that is a little sluggish. I have on order from Andy a NKB1000 and hope this works great for me. I will post a review when it shows up. Here is your example:

    When new Dahua cameras only support IE in 2023, should we look elsewhere?

    Why Andy and Dahua always recommend you do firmware updates using the latest config tool and NOT IE or any browser as it may crash.

    When new Dahua cameras only support IE in 2023, should we look elsewhere?

    I only have a few Dahua cams that still require IE and plugin. In Edge I use the IE Tab extension and it works pretty well, but you still need plugin.

    PTZ question for any of the newer Dahua auto tracking models.

    I made a quick video of trying to explain the issue with the SD5A425GA-HNR PTZ controls. In this case I used SmartPSS software as the arrow blinks when clicked and it has the stepping adjustment right below as you will see in video. For comparison I also used another of my Dahua PTZ cams to...

    PTZ question for any of the newer Dahua auto tracking models.

    LOL, my 49225 was 6 years old, auto tracking was just a dream then and never did have it. BUT, the panning on that model had stepping adjustments and was very easy to pan in BI or the GUI. Unfortunately I can't say that for the SD5A425GA-HNR . I am sure the real small stepping is due to the...

    PTZ question for any of the newer Dahua auto tracking models.

    Thanks for your input Wildcat ! That is probably why I am seeing this as I came from a 49225 and you are correct, it felt much better ! I will give the sub stream a shot. I do like the way it auto tracks for sure, but when just doing some manual panning around not so much. I thought about...

    PTZ question for any of the newer Dahua auto tracking models.

    On the SD5A425GA-HNR the stepping is so little and there is no setting to adjust it. I assume this is to do with the auto tracking ?? But it really makes the PTZ controls in BI really sluggish and then wham...it goes to fast. Ken has tried to adjust the Dahua New V4 protocol but still bad...

    In the help section it states: "The pre-trigger record time applies only to the when triggered or when alerted recordings.

    My old sidewalk proves to be a challenge for some.

    So over a long long time, my sidewalk has developed quite the curve. It has provided some good clips over the years. I give the guy kudos for walking and not driving !

    Recommending newest Dahua PTZ?

    Have you tried to make a new tripwire area on both sides of the stop sign. I have successfully done this on my SD5A425GA-HNR to get around a tree. I know this cam is over your budget, but I highly recommend it !
