    SD49225XA Focus

    No luck. Tried everything under the sun. I have an email out to the supplier so hopefully it can be replaced. Not looking for a repair though.

    SD49225XA Acting weird.

    I thought my problems with wonky PTZ actions were over. It is back now and I had this problem with a 59230. WTF is causing this? So annoying. Updated the firmware last week and tracking has been great but this is one thing that sucks.

    SD49225XA Focus

    This last video, the weather is dry and there is nothing on the lens. I am thinking there is a problem with focus at a particular focal length.

    SD49225XA Focus

    Here is another vid after trying focus limit at 10cm. Still slow as molasses. I count approx 5 seconds at that zoom level. After it zooms in more it is fast to focus. Maybe I will try to go larger for the target size and see.

    SD49225XA Focus

    I had focus limit set to Auto. I just set it to 10cm as a last ditch effort. I bought from Andy so if it still has the issue, I will contact him. I am glad I bought from him, he has been awesome.

    SD49225XA Focus

    So after updating to the newest firmware, tracking is very very good however after many attempts at all the recommendations the focus is still substandard. Tried; 1) Default to factory several times, 2) Initiated "Lens Initialization" several times, 3) Tried changing presets zoom to different...

    Wow! I am blown away with how well this camera works with the firmware update. The tracking is spot on and puts the 59230 to shame. Glad I purchased it. After using Wildcat1's pracrices, I couldn't ask for much more, especially at this price point.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to summarize. I will need to read many more of your reviews so as not to waste your time with redundant questions. You're the best!

    What does Target Tracking Size do? Will a larger size (eg. 100) ignore smaller targets like small animals? I tried playing around with it but didn't get varying results. Also noticed that when an intrusion box is triggered, the camera ignores me walking and stays stuck on the preset it goes to...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Got the new firmware and autotracking works pretty well but it is a new learning curve for me. I am trying to understand the logic. Now, tripwires and intrusion boxes no longer have an option for sending the camera to a preset. It seems that when an event is triggered, the camera will attempt to...

    SD49225XA Focus

    If I could, I'd cut that tree down but the GF ain't having it. It was hard enough getting her to accept all the cameras although I think she sits at the monitor more than me lol.

    SD49225XA Focus

    No Deep IVS using tripwires and intrusion boxes. My firmware is one without autotracking.

    SD49225XA Focus

    Very interested in the auto tracking. I had it on a SD59230HNI and it was horrendous. Spinning like a top. I saw another guy on here with one of the last auto tracking SD49225XA and his did amazing. Then I bought mine and it did not have auto tracking. The Deep IVS has been very very good but...

    SD49225XA Focus

    If you look again, you will see that the focus was spot on and then it goes out. It also does not focus on anything, nor the tree. I would expect it to choose something. I will try un-selecting the PFA and see.

    Dahua 4K PTZ DH-SD8A820WA-HNF

    I am just fishing for help on my camera. I have an SD49225XA and I was wondering if I can manually set each preset to manual focus. I'm not sure how to do it. It has been auto focusing with hit & miss results. Super annoying when it is OOF. I don't even know if you use the same camera user...

    SD49225XA Focus

    Can't seem to figure out if anything can be done to resolve this focus issue. It is completely random. In the video, I thought it may be focusing on something closer than the intended area of capture but if you look closely, nothing is in focus.

    SD49225XA-HNR Moves to a preset for 4 minutes every day at same time.

    Wow look at all the help! LOL The issue was Blue Iris. Restarted it and the problem went away.... just in case anyone else experiences this.

    SD49225XA-HNR Moves to a preset for 4 minutes every day at same time.

    Can't seem to figure out why my PTZ goes to a preset every midnight for 4 minutes. I am using Blue Iris. There are no camera triggers setup in BI to command the PTZ to that preset, ever. In the PTZ interface, there are no Time Tasks setup to go to that preset (preset 12). There are no scheduled...

    Completely my bad! I didn't realize my POE switch was NOT POE+. I gave the camera a great review on Amazon since, and it has been great.

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    UPDATE: I did not have a POE+ switch, so it won't run without either POE+ OR a power supply. After getting help from Wildcat_1, who has been amazing, this thing is a beast! It works amazing. I do wish it had auto_tracking BUT with the Deep IVS, it works just about 100% of the time as far as...

    Thanks very much for the very clear description of examples of setups and the explanation of my question in regard to auto tracking and alarm tracking. So generally we get similar results from either auto tracking and IVS alarm tracking. I did have multiple cameras being used as spotters and it...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    What is the difference between Auto Tracking and IVS rule application? I just returned my 59230 and it had Auto Tracking but it was jumpy. Is Auto tracking when the camera smoothly pans and follows a subject? I am not sure because my camera would notice a subject, start to zoom in, blackout on...

    Looking at the 59232. 8 times the ROM and RAM. Has much more than the 59230. Possibly the next purchase. **Right now the biggest problem is finding one to buy.** I do like the security that comes with easy returns on amazon even though I am verrry reluctant to return the 59230. The 49225 you...

    Thanks for all your help. I am definitely looking for something else that is similar but without so many issues. It is most annoying when one event, it works amazing and then in the same exact situation it goes buggy. I may try the 49225. I am going to be REALLY reviewing the heck out of cameras...
