    Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    The cameras here are all still working ok on this firmware with no sign of the rebooting after 19 hours that I was seeing on the 2.640.0000002.0.R firmware with microSD cards. Currently at 2 days uptime and counting across all 3 and nothing untoward sent to the syslog server.

    Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    I've upgraded 3 cameras here (one 2x Z & 1x ZE), before I upgraded from the Nov 17 firmware the 3 cameras were showing video in the playback tab but that seems to have disappeared so i'm wondering if maybe they're using a new folder structure? You can see it's actively writing to the cards, so...

    Sure Andy, do you want me to drop you an email about that?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Happy to test here thanks @EMPIRETECANDY I rolled back all the other cameras to the Bobber 2017 firmware as they all seem to work better with that when 128GB microSDs are fitted. I was starting to wonder if they've got a new microSD library across Rhea and EOS which is why all my cameras...

    Starlight comes to Dashcams -IPC-MW4231A-E2 2MP Dual Lens Dash Camera

    In that part of the world they have a lot of incidents of people jumping on cars which is why they like bigger units which people can easily see. I had a dual channel Panorama X2 from Korea which had a huge orange flashing light on the front which changed when it saw motion to try and deter...

    SD8A840VI-HNI - 4k Starlight 40x Hi-POE PTZ

    I just spotted this camera appear on the Dahua site while checking for firmware. It's a new 4k Starlight PTZ with 40x zoom and looks like it will need Hi-POE rather than POE+ as the power specs are 26W day or 38W night (IR on, Heater on). Sensor wise it's listed as a 1/1.8” 8Megapixel STARVIS™...

    Starlight comes to Dashcams -IPC-MW4231A-E2 2MP Dual Lens Dash Camera

    The BlackVue was originally supposed to have a Sony sensor up front but it was switched out before release for an Omnivision - I did a firmware analysis a while back over on Dashcamtalk and the specs were: Soc: HiSilicon Hi3559 Front: OmniVision OS08A10 Rear: Sony IMX290 / 291 (both are in the...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    The most stable for me so far was the November 2017 firmware. I've rolled back one of my IPC-HDW5231R-Z to the November 2017 firmware yesterday and you can see the camera has gotten past 19 hours uptime: There's definitely something wrong with the newer firmwares at least when microSD cards...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Almost a week on and you can see the 5231s rebooting like clockwork each day on the uptime graphs.

    SD59225U-HNI latest new firmware.

    Just to confirm the 59225 showed the same problem with the CPU jumping to 100% usage when you try and access a non-responsive webserver: The 1A225 stayed at 100% until I rebooted it last night. I've enabled general writing to microSD on the 1A225 again and it doe seem CPU is jumping up...

    SD59225U-HNI latest new firmware.

    That's a strange one - I upgraded mine with the same MCU file when I got it and it went fine. I guess there's always a risk with firmware. Maybe worth using the 12v PSU with it connected to a machine running Wireshark to see what packets get sent out the interface - hopefully TFTP will sort it...

    SD59225U-HNI latest new firmware.

    It's not reverted to the default IP has it and showing up on Dahua Config Tool? Silly question but have you physically power cycled the camera (remove the network cable and 12v if connected) as I had one where I had to do that after a camera didn't come online?

    SD59225U-HNI latest new firmware.

    I just wrote in another post that I've set up LibreNMS and SNMP monitoring to try and get some more info about what's going on. The PTZ1A225U and 59225 are both showing web lockups - both have microSD cards in there but I disabled writing to microSD card on the 1A225 and you can see that there...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    As per the last message I set up LibreNMS which is a free SNMP monitoring solution which polls all the devices and gives graphical output for things like CPU usage, network usage and uptime on the Dahua cameras as well as other kit that supports SNMP (I tried adding my Hikvision cameras too but...

    High Resolution Dahua Camera

    It's not low key but while testing the PTZ1A225U with OpenALPR I pulled over 4500 numberplates in a week including it working at night from over 100ft away at a very non-optimal angle. The issues were dawn and dusk when neither day or night setting was quite right. I was surprised as I didn't...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    I'll pull some stats together Andy in case there are any trends - I wondered if maybe it was a memory leak or something. I've enabled SNMP across all cameras and set up a LibreNMS system to see if anything gives a clue as to what is going on - I get CPU and network stats but not memory...

    SD card issue with .640 firmware?

    The best software for testing microSD cards is h2testw - H2testw There are a lot of fake memory cards out there from eBay etc which only have a small portion of space actually usable and this software will flag any issues up straightaway. Basically format the card and then run it through this...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Have any of you noticed the cameras rebooting on this firmware outside of the auto maintenance window? I have syslogging enabled for all the 5231 cameras (2x Z & 1 ZE) and network switch and noticed that I'm seeing events for the cameras showing the microSD storage being added and before this...

    SD59225U-HNI latest new firmware.

    I have this firmware installed on an SD59225 and a PTZ1A225U-IRA-N and they both show the same problem with the admin web page becoming unavailable after the camera has been up for a few days so guessing there may be a bug there for Dahua @EMPIRETECANDY The video stream continues to work fine...

    SD49225T-HN Quickie Moon Shot

    That's awesome - unfortunately here in the UK it was cloudy so we missed it where I live :( That 48x zoom is impressive to be able to resolve that detail - I've got two 25x units and the next one I get will be a more powerful zoom.

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    It depends what you want out of it really - if you need it to be able to look straight down then the SD59230U-HNI or another zoom variant of that is best, whereas if you want the ability to look straight up at the night sky this would be better.

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE trying to contact Amazon IP

    I don't think it's those as I turn those off when setting cams up - got a feeling it could be one of the following options on newer firmwares: System - Security Mobile Push (that could explain the Apple cert being used to AWS servers) Password Reset (as newer firmwares ask for an email...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE trying to contact Amazon IP

    Well it seems some of the traffic I saw was the p2p server (Network - Access Platforms - p2p) being enabled. Now I swear I've turned that off multiple times and it was back on both 5231 cameras so I've turned it off again, rebooted and for now it seems to have stuck. Interestingly I just...

    PTZ1A225U-IRA-N 2MP 25x Starlight

    OK it's still losing the web interface on the November 17 firmware. I took a gamble as as the older main firmwares (NOT the PTZ MCU) for this camera were the same as the 59225 I installed the June 2018 firmware for the 59225 and it's upgraded fine with all functionality intact. Again just to...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE trying to contact Amazon IP

    Also iDMSS Plus which makes you think it's sending the notifications out to Apple and a Dahua instance running in AWS EC2 probably as backup so the notification gets through if the other is blocked? What happens if you block the connectivity to the Apple IP range and allow it just to the AWS range?

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

    What cards are you guys using and where were they bought from? There was an issue with microSD introduced in one of the 5231 firmwares last year and the next version fixed it. If you have easy access it's worth formatting them and running through a couple of loops of h2testw to ensure there...
