    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Also, to be fair, the hardware is very nice. The PTZ is super fast and the image quality at night...even in color is very good. Rivals the Hikvision in those regards. If you're looking for a good quality PTZ camera, this is a good choice if it retains the reliability that my previous Sunba's...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Hivision is first. Dahua second half of video. Same event. The sunba tracks better than the dahua but it just can't zoom in.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    FYI, the Sunba's tracking is rock solid. It just doesn't ever zoom in.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Cost. How much are DS-2DF8236I-AEL new? I have two of them. I want to upgrade 4 of my 22 cameras to something that can track decently.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    The Sunba camera is a complete bust. It's missing a ton of features that the Hikvision has. 1) No face, human, or vehicle detection. 2) IR controls for IR level, exposure compensation, etc completely missing. 3) Detection types can only be done for a single preset each. For instance...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    I will. I realize I'm in a possibly unique position of having two mounting spots so close together that I can make direct comparisons between two cameras on the same subjects.

    Which might not actually be a good thing if they broke something with the last update.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    The Sunba will be here Friday. I'll mount it in the same place the Dahua is now and compare it to the genuine Hikvision. The Hikvisions I have currently I bought two years ago this month but they were already two year old models when I bought them so they've got 4 year old tech in them...

    That 25% quote from me was only an hour or so after I got it installed. It's really more like 10%.

    Looks like the SUNBA is on 5.6.13 vs 5.4.9 for my Hikvision:

    New Sunba Illuminati

    They just don't have very good AT cameras. My Hikvision cameras are awesome and tracking solidly 90% of the time. Between my two Hikvisions in the front, I get 95% of all license plates even at night.

    New Sunba Illuminati

    The auto tracking on my Dahua is a joke compared to my Hikvisions: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-poor-auto-tracking-what-am-i-doing-wrong.46141 I also have two Sunba's that I've had for 3 years and they have been flawless. But what really got my attention on the new Sunba Illuminati is...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    The Sunba Illuminati has been getting good reviews on its tracking. I was just watching a review video when I realized all the menus are actually Hikvision menus rebranded to Sunba!!!!! The video shows a quick walk through of all the menus and they are identical to my Hikvision cameras.

    Switched over to using global tracking but it made no difference. Might even be worse. 40+ examples just like this: Dahua: vs Hikvision:

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Can anyone who has the Dahua tracking well post their firmware? I'm wondering if I have bad build at the time of manufacturing. Maybe I need to upgrade? My current firmware is: Device Type DH-SD59225U-HNI System Version V2.800.0000000.5.R.E4.2512.3S.NR, Build Date: 2019-08-27 WEB Version...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    I have many fixed cameras and that is a complete hack. It will get a camera pointed in a specific direction, but it won't get the kind of tracking I need that I already get with my two Hikvision cameras. I'm boxing this one up tomorrow to send it back and will get the DS-2DE4A425IW-DE.

    Another example. No obstacles in the foreground. The Hikvision did it perfectly of course and it DID have the mailbox in front of the car.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Yea, did that first thing in the IVS rule. What version of firmware are you running? Do you also have global tracking turn on or off?

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    I agree. That looks great. Is this the chinese import or USA version? Are you using global tracking or an IVS rule?

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Maybe but my Hikvision cameras have exactly the same tracking engine as the smaller DS-2DE4A425IW-DE cameras that are about the same price as this Dahua. The only downside to those is that the plastic domes tend to reflect IR inside making it not quite as ideal at night. Also, the 4 MP of the...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    That's not it. There are plenty of other examples where the mailbox never even comes into view and the camera does exactly the same thing. If object being tracked went behind the mailbox, that would be one thing but without that, i won't know the difference between a foreground and background...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Obstacles? This is about as obstacle free as you can get. I'm at the bottom of a 400 foot wide cul-de-sac that gets almost no traffic with no waving plants close up. How do you get better than this? What are my options for tuning that would keep the camera from deciding without warning to just...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    It just can't be this bad. Maybe having global tracking and IVS plan tracking on at the same time is conflicting somehow? I just disabled global tracking. Next I'll disable IVS and turn global tracking back on. I just need it to track at least half as good as the Hivision.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Another example. Dahua first: Hivision second: They're not even close. I may have to send this camera back.

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Without the rule and global auto tracking turned on, it tracks cars going by on the cross street all day long. I tried raising the line up a bit to see if it can start tracking sooner over the threshold and also pulled back the zoom just a bit. Clearly the Hikvision camera's are way better at...

    Can't send email without using IP address

    Odd. So when it's set to static, the DNS address are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which doesn't work. As soon as I set to DHCP, it changes the DNS addresses to 192.168.1.1 which doesn't work. But if I enter 8.8.8.8 and override it, it does work but NOT when set to static. Nothing I do will get it to work...

    Can't send email without using IP address

    You misunderstood. It doesn't even work with DHCP unless I enter the IP address manually. If I switch to static IP it doesn't work at all no matter what.

    Can't send email without using IP address

    If I enter smtp.gmail.com, it doesn't work. If I ping the IP address from smtp.gmail.com and enter that in the server address, it works fine. Obviously that's just a short term fix since googles smtp server address changes from time to time. Also, even with the IP address directly used, it...

    Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?

    Can't get my new SD59225U-HNI to track reliably. It's about 25% successful. Dahua example: Hikvision example: IVS rule: Is it just the Dahua is not very good at tracking vs the Hikvision? Yes about 25% of the time it tracks perfectly fine but most of the time it's like this.
