    MINI PTZ DH_SD-Mao-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_IVS_V2.800.0000000.4.R.191105

    I have updated two SD1A203T-GN with this so far, one is an extra I have sitting on my desk and one is mounted and live. No issues so far. The spare one I did a full factory reset on, the live one I just did a "Default" (not full factory default), so far so good. Set up IVS again entirely in...

    MINI PTZ DH_SD-Mao-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_IVS_V2.800.0000000.4.R.191105

    Same with the SD49225T-HN, in the past it has been the same firmware file as this camera...I do have one sitting around that I could test on but not sure if I want to risk it just yet :)

    DH-SD1A203T-GN mini PTZ latest firmware

    Andy says there is a new version, he was going to test it before passing it along...Haven't heard back from him yet. I'm hoping for fixes for the daily reboot issue and maybe it will work in modern browsers without a plugin as the newer cameras do, that would be awesome.

    Can no longer log in to SD49225T-HN 2MP 25x Starlight

    This may sound dumb, but try hitting shift-F5 to refresh on the login page. I've had some strange issues when bouncing between firmware versions on the Dahua cameras and trying to login and it acted weird until I did a forced refresh like that in Chrome. You could also try an alternate browser...

    Indoor 90 degree camera

    Yeah I've seen some mentions in the past and most of them seemed to be unsuccessful. I want to say I've seen some people say they flashed Dahua firmware to an Amcrest NVR, but not to the cameras. Too bad they seem to be customized versions of the hardware, oh well. Of course I'd much rather...

    Indoor 90 degree camera

    Any idea what the proper Dahua models are for some of the Amcrest cameras and if they can be flashed with Dahua OEM firmware? I know Amcrest has a bad name around here because of the whole Foscam fiasco, but sometimes the Amcrests are pretty tempting for the price, especially if I could rid...

    REVIEW- Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP AI mini PTZ

    Check in the settings, it defaults to "semi auto" focus, I changed mine to auto and it works much better.

    New Mini PTZ now with 4x zoom SD1A404XB-GNR

    Can you tell a difference in the zoom? I did end up replacing my SD1A203T-GN and I'm not really seeing any difference in zoom

    New Mini PTZ now with 4x zoom SD1A404XB-GNR

    Yes it's physically identical, size/shape/microsd card door are all the same, the mounting options are exactly the same as the SD1A203T-GN and it uses the same mounting plate. I don't think it's supposed to be mounted vertically but I guess you could give it a try. You may want to consider...

    IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE Web Interface Questions

    I didn't have WDR enabled actually, the only things I had really adjusted were changing it to H.265, changing the bitrate and enabling a single IVS tripwire. I do have it connected to an NVR, so maybe something I did on the NVR adjusted something. I'm not much of a tinkerer with the settings...

    IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE Web Interface Questions

    I've had a IPC-HDW5831R-ZE for a couple of weeks now and I've noticed the same thing. Been running it at H.265 4k, 15fps...actually, I thought I had it at 15fps but it got bumped down to 14fps for some reason. I had adjusted the bitrate up to 4096 and was noticing way more delay, glad you...

    New Mini PTZ now with 4x zoom SD1A404XB-GNR

    Someone can probably beat me to it, the SD1A404XB-GNR I just received is going in another location entirely so my SD1A203T-GN isn't going to be swapped right away. Just want to make sure there's no strange issues with the new one before I go nuts ordering more, although I might cave in and do...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Got mine mounted today, no modifications, I think it's secure enough for my purposes. No worse than the 4421C camera it replaced at least.

    New Mini PTZ now with 4x zoom SD1A404XB-GNR

    For reference, I received my SD1A404XB-GNR today and just opened it up to confirm the mounting situation is exactly the same as the SD1A203T-GN, so anything you read on here about that one will apply to the new model...at least as far as mounting hardware. I'll be testing this one out and if...

    New Mini PTZ now with 4x zoom SD1A404XB-GNR

    There's no junction box for mounting these to a soffit, for some reason these have a weird design unlike most of the other cameras. They have a thin metal plate that mounts to your soffit and then you're on your own from there. You can either build a small box of some sort or you may want to...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    So mine came today, manufacture date 10-2019. At first I was really disappointed with how sloppy it was, but I noticed if you play around with how it's oriented and if you can get 3 of the rubber feet to make contact with the "eyeball" portion of the camera it stays pretty secure. In the...

    Dahua Setup for home - Help opinions

    The cost difference to go from 4 to 8 to 16 channels on the NVR is negligible, so buy one with more channels than you think you need. I recently bought a NVR4116-4KS2 and it's fine, but keep in mind the lower end models like that can only handle 80Mbps of total bandwidth coming in to them. I...

    Anyone who has a bad camera, let's keep track of the manufacture date...maybe the issue has been addressed in later builds?

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Yeah I guess it all depends on what is acceptable to you. I'm replacing a Chinese 4421C camera with the plastic base, so despite the flaws in the 5442 maybe it's still better than what I'm replacing. I did just replace another Chinese model with a 5831 and it's rock solid when tightened down...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    How bad is it? Are we talking it's so loose that it moves on it's own? A minor bump would move it? Or you actively have to try to move it? I'm not putting it somewhere I'm concerned with people reaching up and touching it...but if there is clearly a problem with it, Dahua needs to address it...

    That's a bummer, I've got one coming from Andy this Thursday. I was taking his word that it wasn't a problem, I guess I will see how bad it is when mine arrives.

    Dahua camera web interface - OS support, plugins in 2018

    I've had good luck with the "Easy Viewer" app for Chrome, to me this is preferable to maintaining another browser install just to login to my cameras and view the video feed. It's worked great with a Dahua NVR as well as various cameras on various firmware versions, seems to display the video...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    I recently installed an IPC-HDW5831R-ZE turret, which was replacing an old cheap Chinese plastic base turret (4431C-A) and I noticed that initially I did not have the ring snapped onto the base completely. It seemed to be on, but it wasn't and the "eyeball" part moved around freely...I pressed...

    SD49225T-HN frequent restarts

    So my theory on NTP possibly causing the web interface to become unresponsive was wrong, it ended up failing again this morning. It's almost as if changing any setting from the default causes it to fail. If I leave it set to all defaults and nothing but the admin password set, it seems to stay...

    SD49225T-HN frequent restarts

    @EMPIRETECANDY Could you please follow up with Dahua on the firmware for this? I'm still struggling with issues with the web interface becoming unresponsive on this SD49225T-HN-S2 running 20181124. I have been testing various permutations of config options over the last few days, at this point...

    DH-SD1A203T-GN mini PTZ latest firmware

    I thought I was the only one with the flash browser plug-in problem on the 11/24/18 firmware, figured it was my browser. @EMPIRETECANDY can you try to follow up with Dahua on updated firmware for these please?

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I have this same exact problem when running any of the 2018 versions of firmware, currently I have mine on the 2017-12-27 version and it's stable. The other problem I'm having with mine is that it no longer switches from night to day mode automatically. I contacted Andy who I bought it from...

    SD49225T-HN frequent restarts

    So as I expected, after updating to the latest firmware, my camera crapped out within 12 hours. I had set it up for remote syslog, there is NO output indicating any kind of problem. Last log entry was me logging out of the web interface normally. Right now it's sitting there unresponsive to...

    SD49225T-HN frequent restarts

    I've got one of these that was purchased in August 2017 from Andy, it's exhibiting a lot of the same problems others are reporting. I've had the best luck with the 040418 firmware, when I upgrade to anything new it's extremely unreliable. Mine doesn't just reboot, it stops outputting video...

    HDW4433C-A, a risky proposition?

    I've got a couple Chinese cameras, that's how I got started because I didn't want to spend $150+ not knowing what I was getting into. I have a 4421C and a 4431C-A, both have very good daytime picture quality and the night quality isn't that bad either with the IR illuminator on. I also have a...
