    Lost connection when setting up, can't access now (IPC-HDBW4431R-AS)

    Connect only one Camera and power it up. Use Smart PSS to locate it, if it's on a different IP range, you will need to change your PCs IP to match so you can reconfigure the IP. Otherwise if it's still 108, use smart PSS to change it to something else, then try to access the camera. Let us...

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS - Buy Log / Review

    Create a second account on each camera for the NVR to talk to. Usually lock outs are caused by too many incorrect password attempts or too many active connections open.

    Don't press the reset!!!!! (It will go Chinese on you) It's either conflicting with another devices, eg two devices sharing the same IP or the web console is lagging, which can happen if it's busy recording or processing IVS rules. Just pull the power out and let it start back up. Otherwise...

    It's like an emo kid. haha Either way, was amusing. What is with spiders and cameras seriously? IR light attracting them or is it something else? It's like a never ending battle keeping their webs away.

    Haha triggered some weird behaviour in the camera. Was looking for the spider web I could see when the PTZ started to go nuts and played me a little song. haha Whats going on here? Skip to the long "song" here:

    Depends on how you are transcoding it. FFMPEG? I'm currently running a live stream using FFMPEG to confirm stability before buying another PTZ for another project. Seems to work well:

    Best browser to configure Dahua IP cameras with?

    Safari works great on Mac, then SmartPSS. Windows? Older IE, Smart PSS and Firefox.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW5231E-Z)

    New toy arrived today, had to test it out to see what she can do. Considering my old non-dahua cameras could barely see the first bush, this thing totally owns it at night. Naturally will be mounted and targeted but still amused at how much it can see. Skip to 33 seconds in to see the tango...

    You can adjust the IR levels for zoom and wide. Adjust them and see how you go. Re the focus in colour, try setting the focal point and see how you go.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    The huisun most likely had a small aperture (higher f/stop) thus it was able to focus quickly. The ability to see OK in colour at night would have been due to max iso and back light. I've found with my Dahua that using aperture priority mode really helps with focusing quickly but you also need...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I think some of the issues is the configuration while some of it is location. Focusing the camera at long range can be tricky with many different objects at different depths, but they could be lazy and set the focus to a fixed point or presets... Try changing the focal limit, should speed it...

    Just play with it man, thats what I've had to do to get mine to behave. If the image is too flat, auto tracking goes retarded, but the video quality is higher BUT the auto focus struggles, but when its more defined with darkness, it also has issues, so it's a balancing act. Pick on a few...

    That looks like there is a lot of video processing going on. Tell tail signs are the ghosting. Adjust the contrast a little more to get more defined edges which will help the auto focus. @nayr you would know, do the Pro series use AF beams to assist with focusing or do they use the IR light to...

    I left mine on colour last night just to see if I could replicate @ljw2k issue with blur when it's tracking people. Thankfully Jay was heading to work at 3am which gave me a perfect target for the auto tracking to chase. As you can see, it's not where near as good for ID as B&W. haha This is...

    For a laugh, I tried Colour Mode at night just to see if it had similar issues as @ljw2k camera. With WDR on it certainly ghosted, with the camera at stock settings it struggled but once the profiles were configured... it handled it for the most part. Looks nice but I feel like it's missing...

    Buying From AliExpress

    Ouch, that sucks. With DHL you need to call them if you have special requirements on the day. I usually get things delivered to my home address as it's easier to manage them and their delivery time is predictable to a 30 minute window. At work, they are a nightmare. haha
