    SD49225T-HN frequent restarts

    Another test that's probably been covered in this thread but in case not: you could try powering with 12v (or ideally 14v) through the barrel connector power jack on the same harness as the ethernet cable. Then plug the ethernet cable into a non POE port. If you get issues you know it's related...

    Help! trying to setup new camera.

    A handy tool I've found for Windows (if you're using that os) is Angry IP Scanner. Does a great job of finding every network device on the network.

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Sorry meant to say, I'll see about adding some IR controls (at least a basic toggle on/off) and iris controls next week.

    [SOFTWARE] Dahua WEB Translation to English (with no firmware modification)

    My thinking would be that even if they have some diabolical reason for keeping China region cameras out of English speaking regions, I can't think of a way they could possibly prevent a plugin from translating a webpage. Google Translate probably does it automatically already. Remember that...

    [SOFTWARE] Dahua WEB Translation to English (with no firmware modification)

    Great work! Why not submit it to the Chrome app store? I just submitted my first extension, it was an easy painless process. Otherwise Chrome nags the user about being in Developer Mode every time they start up. Publish in the Chrome Web Store - Google Chrome

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Good idea, I just made a rough version of it in v.8996: gizmoware.net/easyptz To access the Presets Window, click Presets -> Presets Window, or click P or right click the video window. To hide it, click P or click some blank space on the presets window. Note another new feature: when the...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Changing the hat action should be working now in v0.89952, let me know if not. I also added a value to the config file to tune the joystick called "joystick_threshhold". It basically controls how sensitive the joystick is by ignoring any signal below that number. Possible values would be .1...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I have a feeling it's because of differences with a gamepad. I'll be able to test with one of those later today. As far as diagonals, one nice thing is that it's not necessarily exactly "left up" evenly, there can be amounts of diagonal. In other words instead of there being 8 points, there can...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Good to hear! I just uploaded version v0.8995, which lets you assign whatever action you want to each stick: gizmoware.net/easyptz There's a lot of other improvements to joystick functionality as well, like diagonals and proportional panning speed (the camera will pan faster as you press the...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I think I found the issue with the joystick, should be fixed in the new version. It will also now remember individual camera volume when switching through cameras, and control up/down arrow cycles through cameras. Edited to add: and as of version .89942 you can look at the bottom of the log...

    Rain damaged female rj45 connector...

    Been there done that! One of my cameras died a similar death. But it still works using the power jack that powers the camera directly, not using POE... Have you tried that? Connect a 12v power adaptor to that jack and in a few seconds your camera should start booting up. If so, you can use...

    SD49225T-HN frequent restarts

    This is a long thread and I haven't read it all, but I read your suspicion that it's new Dahuas that are faulty. I've got two of the same cameras as you, purchased in the last 6 months from Andy, both working great. I don't think either has restarted once out of turn. I'm sure this is well...

    Network clarifications first camera

    For whatever it's worth, I think the stated dangers of forwarding ports to the camera on this forum are greatly exaggerated. I've been forwarding ports for HTTP and RTSP for awhile now without any problems. It's easy enough to keep an eye on router logs if you're worried, especially with Tomato...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I'm planning to make control-up/down swap cameras so I just made it so shift-control-up/down controls volume. I just uploaded the new version but didn't bother updating the webpage text yet.

    I just posted a new version with some volume control: [camera6] # optional initial camera volume, from 0 to 100 camera_volume = 0 # can also make buttons to control volume button13 = voldown button14 = volup button15 = mute I wonder if the joystick needs calibration? You can try this if...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Glad we figured out the login issue. As far as the joystick, that certainly doesn't happen with mine. Is it this type of gamepad? https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-940-000110-Gamepad-F310/dp/B003VAHYQY

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I just added the option for Basic Authentication in the new version. To make it so a specific camera uses basic auth, add this line in it's config section: camera_auth_mode = basic For example this would make camera2 use basicauth: [camera2] camera_address = 192.168.1.50 camera_username =...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    That's an odd one, I'm literally using curl in that test version... (With digestauth enabled of course). This version should give a more detailed error report: gizmoware.net/easyptz

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I just posted a new version that should be the exact same as curl.exe under the hood. I'm curious if it works with your camera if you have a minute to test: gizmoware.net/easyptz

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I guess one thing to try is to see if you can control this camera from a mobile app? For android you can try Tiny Cams Pro (or maybe there's a free version), for iOS Live Cams Pro. Or whatever other app. If you try one, let me know if it can successfully control your camera .

    Error 401 is "unauthorized" .You said you're using admin though, who definitely should have ptz rights so I don't really have a theory at the moment. Hmm. Maybe try making a new admin rights user?

    I just added some additional error reporting to version 0.897, freshly uploaded. As of now I didn't update the website, but it's a new version. As before, after clicking a preset have a look at the log window. gizmoware.net/easyptz

    Weird, it shows an error on mine. I only tested with an invalid port, simulating no response. I'll add full logging, so it shows whatever response it gets.

    Yup, I'm using Digest authentication. And interesting about the other camera working, hmm. I'd love to troubleshoot next week if you don't mind trying some testing. In the meantime I just uploaded a new version that adds some error reporting. Currently it only checks for errors when trying to...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I have that same camera, great camera, should work well. As 42er says pressing the onscreen preset buttons will be the simplest way to see if it's working. If it's not but it's showing the video then maybe there's a problem with the http port in the config file? I'll add some debug stuff for...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Quick note: I made it so the Presets menu gets *all* the presets from the camera, and doesn't show any undefined presets. Same with the Cameras menu. Thoroughly loving having a full list of presets from my cameras. And this has the added benefit of allowing for unlimited cameras. And there's...

    > in the german language, we have special letters call umlauts Thanks for that, should be fixed in new version, let me know if not. Other fixes and improvements: - The presets pulldown menu now gets the actual preset names from the camera! That's been a holy grail for me for a long time...
