    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Hmm, on my camera (SD49225T-HN) substream 1 is really small and a strange aspect ratio. If that's the case with yours you'dbe better off increasing the buffer. The 500ms default buffer is really tiny. It works beautifully for my cameras even over the internet, which is why I set it like that...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Hmm, certainly not for me, and I'm watching multiple cameras over the internet, not local network. What camera are you using? And is the camera on your network or over the internet? And hardwired or wifi? And most importantly is it clear in other programs (the dahua web interface for example)...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I added the "reset config" option in the new version, not the version you already downloaded. You can simply download and run this: gizmoware.net/easyptz/EasyPTZ_Installer_Full.exe

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I think I know what it is: I'm compiling as 32-bit for now, and I bet your version of VLC is 64-bit, which wouldn't be compatible. You could try temporarily installing VLC 32-bit, or just use this new version that I posted: gizmoware.net/easyptz/EasyPTZ_Installer_Full.exe When installing, make...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Try this new version: http://gizmoware.net/easyptz/EasyPTZ_Installer.exe That should find it. Let me know if not. And you shouldn't need to, but in this version (.53) I made it so you can add this line to the config file to specify the VLC location: vlc_plugin_path = C:\Program...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Sure is. I'm addicted to flying around the area using the joystick. It's going to be really interesting in winter when the waves get huge. And if anyone has a Hikvision camera they wouldn't mind giving me temporary access to, I'd love to add support for those too.

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    Just a quick note, added joystick support! Downright handy, works with any cheapie gaming joystick, including wireless joysticks. I've got two of these cameras, one mounted over a sand dune on a beach and one at the top of my building in downtown San Francisco, and using the joystick with that...

    EasyPTZ: a new simple camera viewer for Windows

    I couldn't find a simple PTZ camera viewer for Dahua cameras on Windows so I whipped something up: EasyPTZ - Dahua Camera Controller for Windows I thought I'd post it in case it's useful to anyone else since I've gotten so much from this forum. If it wasn't for the people here I'd be using the...

    > Then the option has been removed since those gestures are not so obvious. Thanks for the response. For whatever it's worth everyone I have install the app, which is about 10 people so far, try to move the camera with gestures. I find myself doing it too. Another one of my favorite programs...

    How to modify "Onvif User"?

    I'm trying to change the password for the Onvif User on my SD49225T-HN, which I access by going to Settings > System > Account > Onvif User tab. When I try to change the password, it requires the old password, and nothing I try is working. I've tried the same password as my main admin account...

    Recommendations for simple camera viewer apps (all platforms)?

    And since I've mentioned some suggestions, here's the other two that I have: - would be nice to be able to use gestures for PTZ in single cam mode. Swipe left to pan left etc. People keep touching the screen expecting this to happen. Maybe two fingers up and down for zoom. Maybe the gestures...

    Oh! Wow and spectacular work! I absolutely love your app. Please take all of the above in the spirit of constructive criticism. Beautiful, beautiful work. I just wish you made an iOS version since after using TinyCam Pro everything on iOS (that I've found so far) is just unusable by comparison.

    Recommendations for simple camera viewer apps (all platforms)?

    I've done that, but the audio buttons are still there when I touch the screen to see the buttons. I know the icons disappear when touching the screen but I wish they weren't there ever. I'd prefer to only see PTZ and presets, no need for that button on the left that shows horizontal bars...

    Recommendations for simple camera viewer apps (all platforms)?

    I'm setting up a bunch of people to view our Dahua SD49225T-HN, and most of them are technophobes to put it mildly. Some have Android, some iOS devices, some Macs and some Windows laptops. I'm looking for programs for each that let them control PTZ and click on presets. Other than that, as...

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    All systems are go! It's working beautifully from outside the network (over the internet) with surprisingly little lag. I'd say it's under 1 second lag when using TinyCam Pro for Android, which makes PTZ fully usable. When inside the network it's about a half a second, so it's a minimal...

    Possible to extend logged in time for web interface?

    I'm talking about the web interface served by the camera itself (not blue Iris).

    Possible to extend logged in time for web interface?

    I'm guessing this isn't possible, but does anyone happen to know of a way to extend the log in time for the web interface? I have to log back in every half hour or so, which gets tedious.

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    > You've convinced me. You've changed my mind. From now on, you won't find a more avid proponent of port-forwarding...... I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Just explaining my reasoning to people who bring it up.

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    Oh sure there are. There's lots of danger in the world, so we have to assess risk versus reward constantly. Which, in my opinion, doesnt necessarily mean eliminating risk altogether. And both the risk and consequences in this case are minimal. Your mileage and reasoning may vary of course .

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    Nonsense. If I keep my firmware updated and passwords strong the risk is minimal. And the rewards far outweighs the risk, for me at least.

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    > So you come to this forum with a networking how-to question but instead leave the forum with networking security advice. Interesting.....:rolleyes: Sorry but that's not true. I wasn't asking a general networking question (how to forward ports or whatever), I was asking a question about the...

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    Good idea, and I'll certainly continue doing that for people who won't be controlling the camera, but I can't get less than a 4 or 5 second delay when streaming through YouTube. Which is pretty good considering that the stream is relaying, but it makes PTZ unsuable. I made a system that plays a...

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    > or someone (or you) changed that password in the past? I haven't changed the Onvif password. It's a brand new camera, and I started with factory defaults a couple of hours ago. Odd.

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    Probably not worth it's own thread, but does anyone reading this happen to know how to change the default password for the ONVIF admin username (Settings -> System -> Account -> Onvif User)? It's requiring the current password to change it, which I don't know (it's not "admin" or the password...

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    Great, thanks. > Use Port 553, if you want to access the rtsp stream, e.g. with IP Cam Viewer App on your mobile. Guessing you mean port 554?

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    I think I am. And this camera is using an internet connection with almost nothing else on it (it's this and the web interface for a solar charge controller). And the camera itself is a semi public camera to look out over the beach, not a security camera. If someone does somehow manage to gain...

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    I'm setting up port forwarding for a dahua SD49225T-HN ptz camera. I'm well aware if the risks of doing so. I can't find a list of the exact ports I need to forward. One guide I found says I need to forward ports 23, 80, 443, 554, and 37777, both udp and tcp. That's a lot of ports though and I...

    Review-Dahua SD6CE245U-HNI Starlight PTZ 45x Zoom

    Thanks for that Fred. That looks similar to the view I get of the moon with my SD49225T-HN. And that camera sure does a good job focusing at night so I'll probably just stick to that. Thanks again. And on a sidenote this guy sure does get a clear view with his 48x: Probably after lots of...
