    Wildcat's Status

    Wildcat’s Status All, it seems like it’s been a LOOOOOOONG time since I posted (and to be fair, it has been a lot longer than I would have liked). Unfortunately this past month has had a crazy number of storms in the area that have been pretty impactful. Tornado warnings that, luckily, while...

    Yes as @wittaj pointed out? I did a large explainer on this and other key areas such as I-frames just recently on this forum HERE

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I’ll report back tomorrow but on 1 of the test units I was using SD cards with, did not see the issue. Will update on the other tomorrow

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    All, as promised here is the night test and tutorial for the ITC-437. As I mention, very capable camera but you do need to dial this one in carefully due to a) the 4MP sensor needing more light than its 2MP predecessor b) there is NO day/night schedule so you have to set a happy medium setting...

    All, just an update, been heads down in editing and pleased to say the night test / tutorial is almost complete. Tried to cram as much info as I can into this one to assist those watching it. As always though, reach out with questions either via the comments on the video or DM here. For those...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Couple of quick updates on the reboot and video situation: 1 - Found a potential race condition in code which I've made Dahua dev aware of. As I mentioned above, definitely a perfect storm situation but does exist so made aware so they can address 2 - This test unit has other issue exacerbating...

    I’ll see if I can mock up yours on the test unit as well but I haven’t seen the issue you’ve spoken about in my testing.

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    A number of tasks at once with multiple streams being sent to different platforms. Noticed the reboot on 2 different units. Cam will just all of a sudden reset even though POE power is good. It’s definitely a case of perfect storm where sometimes you’ll get a good run without issues and then at...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Quick update. The ‘random reboot’ issue I reported up front to Dahua Dev as I saw this early on in testing. The more I push the cam, the more I see this. I’ve tested across a large number of enterprise grade POE switches and varying known good cables and it persists so I’ve followed back up with...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Come on now you know me better than that. Would never roast anyone and always appreciate the feedback. I will however keep people honest :) Replies to your points: 1) The black is intentional and not a limitation of the editor. As mentioned these are aspect ratio comparisons so I have to...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Does anyone know why when I try to draw trip wire it only allowing 3 points? Which browser are you using ? Also, I can’t get ePTZ display mode to work. It just stays 1 frame When you say 1 frame (you meant full screen as oppose to quadrant ? Same question as above but if using IE (or IE...

    Yes as I mentioned before, E-PTZ metadata is saved and can be used by the SD card and/or Dahua NVRs with E-PTZ (those that do and will in the future as mentioned).

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    I haven’t seen E-PTZ FW yet on the 5832 as to be fair it is a newer feature to the NVR, released on cam first. I have seen the E-PTZ beta for the now EOL 5216, also an early version for the 52xx I/L and believe we’ll see it for the new 52xx EI (this years model) so that is a span of Wizsense &...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Yeah E-PTZ is very good once you set it up and does expand the benefits and use cases of the camera. I’m glad to see the FW bugs and enhancements were integrated for the most part and has made this a more solid camera. There are a couple of issues I’m still chasing but it will get there :)

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    It's useful locally (SD etc) AND on Dahua NVR's at this time. Although not all NVR's have E-PTZ enabled FW yet. I believe we'll see a FW push to shore up those that don't have it in April.

    You can also see how Hik loaded the bases in their favor with the bigger unit, gives more room for lens separation and less need for such a sharp angle BUT that comes with tradeoffs too that the Dahua does very well in providing answers for
