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

    Well we got some more improvements on ljw2k's camera. Setup day and night profiles with auto switch over. Adjusted the Camera to prioritise the Aperture. Set the auto focus to full auto mode. Cranked up the brightness, flattened the contrast. Adjusted the WDR to balance iso noise vs clarity...

    Should have asked them to take it back to the depo and pick it up your self before they close or sat morning. They allow that here.

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

    Checked over his config. Found the reason why his HTTP and Smart PSS kept dying. UPNP was on, so RSTP, HTTP etc was Internet facing and I'd say it was getting hit hard WAN side as the camera was laggy in the UI until UPNP was turned it off. Was like a light switch, moment it was killed...

    CPU/ram in the camera rather then PC. Hehe Poe+ I assume? Pm me the details. Will jump in and take a quick look.

    PTZ looks really good there. Can you run outside and set off its tracking to see how it looks? Or send the wife out. Haha

    That's odd, usually http issues are CPU/RAM at max, bug in the firmware or IP Conflict. How are you powering the camera btw? AT POE switch or POE+ injection or the supplied power brick?

    Buying From AliExpress

    Most of my orders take 3 days from payment to my door. Eg, Paid for items on a Wednesday and had them by Friday. DHL is pretty damn quick. :) In Australia, packages are more likely to sneak through via DHL. But our import value limit is $1000 without any duty/tax. :) Customs are more...

    I'll take my spare 225u-hni and SD29204T-GN home tonight to see if I can replicate the issue you are having. I've had blur issues in the past with other cameras and wasted a lot of time chasing my tail. In those instances, the issue was the encoding stream, lowering the fps to 10-15, cranking...

    Have you tried factory resetting the camera? Only other thing I can suggest is cleaning the lens.

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

    This has been echoed a few times now. Turn down your WDR/2DR/3DR, set your frame rate to 15-20 ish. Adjust the bit rate you are recording/sending at, try 2mbps up to 8mbps and see which handles motion best. Try using 264, less compression means less motion blur. And ADD MORE LIGHT IF YOU...

    HFW5231E-Z5 vs HDW5231R-Z?

    The Z5 is good for targets further out or for targeting certain locations. The Z is good for general coverage or for targets areas within 20m. (for ID) To be honest, the Z at 12mm at night would be better then a non-starlight 4MP at 25mm. (depending on the IR light levels)

    Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware

    Pretty much any *4431R* series is Chinese only models. You'd want this firmware for the HFW4431R-Z: https://i.botox.bz/DH_IPC-HX4XXX-Eos_BETA.bin I think there was some TLDR going on with @dmitrynt :rofl: I read the whole 12 pages before I posted to confirm that the above firmware was still...

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

    Cheers mate. So I could wire 2 directly to the dome and then connect a few more via the NVR? Eg trigger 4 presets in different zones for the PTZ to follow?

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS - Buy Log / Review

    Yeah it's odd that the HDBW has english on the box and in my case the firmware had the ability to turn off the P2P etc but the HFW4431R-Z doesn't. haha And yes it's a HFW4431R-Z.

    All good, thought I'd check just in case I missed something. I haven't been game enough to try the NANO one on my HDBW4431R-ZS yet...

    Did the latest beta get fixed for the HFW4431R-Z @cor35vet ? Or is the safe bet https://i.botox.bz/DH_IPC-HX4XXX-Eos_BETA.bin ? Current version I have from the seller: Device Type IPC-HFW4431R-Z Software Version 2.420.0000.21.R, Build Date: 2016-07-24 WEB Version 3.2.1.364036

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS - Buy Log / Review

    Gotta say the HFW is huge but it's optics are certainly better then the HDBW. But the HDBW firmware seems less dodgy. HFW doesn't come with the ability to turn off p2p ip etc.

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

    Turn down your WDR/2DR/3DR levels. Mine did that when it was cranked up, actually all my Cameras do that with 2DR/3DR cranked up. Crank the bit rate up and try 264 rather then 265 and see how you go. Also it looks like one of the glass layers has some finger prints on it, clean the lens when...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Get waterproof connector wrap? (There is one version that is made in American that can also be used to stop leaks.) I use it all the time with RF Coax Connectors, never had any leakage, could even drop it in a pool and it would still be water tight.

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

    Question re Mic Wiring. Which is Audio Out Red, Audio In White and Black Earth. Normally you'd use Red to the mic (+), white as the return and black as the earth. Would that apply with the PTZ? Also, I'm running two IR Beam trips to trigger presets (oh the joys for twin entryways with objects...

    login problem with SD29204S-GN

    Odd behaviour, the camera is either not FR correctly or his IP subnets are mismatched, or the device isn't picking up a DHCP lease? I just reset my SD29204T-GN by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds (pressed in the moment the power was turned on) and it found an IP for it's self via DHCP...
