    Camera Controller Joystick for Dahua PTZ cameras

    I only access my Dahua PTZ camera via SmartPSS on my macbook and windows PC. The PTZ controls are pretty lame with a mouse so I thought I could use a joystick controller to better follow movement etc. Can anyone recommend the perfect controller setup for this? I access my dahua and axis...

    Where to find the discontinued: SD8A820WA-HNF with 4/3" sensor

    I recently found that this camera from Dahua with a 4/3" sensor exists. Unfortunately it was discontinued due to a chip shortage. Anyone know where I can find one from remaining, unsold stock? If there's an equivalent PTZ with a 4/3" sensor, I'd be happy to get that too. Thanks

    Hikvision PTZ cameras offer Image overlay?

    I've been using Dahua cameras for a while and am considering switching to Hikvision due to quality issues with the images with the Dahua cameras I use. They seem to rush out new products without thoroughly checking them for issues. Anyhow, I'm used to overlaying a 128x128 image on the dahua...

    I have two of these cameras SD8C845FG-HNF and I've noticed in both cameras a pink spot appears when zoomed in all the way. One of the cameras has a more noticable spot than the other. See photo. It doesn't matter which angle I'm pointing the camera. Any idea what this is? Thanks

    Building a script to control SMARTPSS in order to control camera

    This idea is a workaround for accessing a Dahua camera remotely when router configuration (port forwarding) is not possible. After reviewing the SDK for Dahua cameras, I've come to the conclusion that it is not possible to use the SDK/API to access and control the camera via P2P. It must be...

    Dahua - Controlling basic camera operations (via an API?) when camera has no dedicated IP

    Hi everyone, I'd like to set preset PTZ commands using a script to a Dahua camera. I'm wondering if this is possible when the camera doesn't have a dedicated IP. I know that SmartPSS can allow PTZ functions of the camera, so it is technically possible to access the camera when it is not on a...

    I'm looking to save on bandwidth, wondering if this technology has reached the firmware of major camera brands yet (axis, dahua, hikvision etc.) If not, do you think it will arrive anytime soon? Thanks

    Hi all, Looking at this new camera. They advertise it as a 1/2" sensor, but when scrolling down on the same page it says 1/1.8" sensor size. Am I misunderstanding how sensor size is calculated or is there an error on the page and it should say 1/2" sensor size in the technical...

    Recommendations for a 4K Dahua/Hikvision PTZ for streaming to YouTube (Nature scene)

    Hi everyone. I'm a new member here and only have had experience with Axis PTZ cameras (Q6128E and P1454 and older) and I'm looking for a more cost-affordable brand. I think Dahua or Hikvision might be them. What I'm looking for are 4K cameras for streaming nature scenes (volcanoes and distant...
