    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

    If you had unlimited budget for Axis cameras...

    It looks like I can order them from alibaba. I may need to buy 2+ however (minimum order size). I also did some further research and their user manual indicates RTMP is available.

    If you had unlimited budget for Axis cameras...

    Has anyone tested out or seen videos of the dahua SD8A820WA-HNF ? I didn't realize Dahua even had this (not showing up on their international site), otherwise I would have bought it for a couple projects. I'm assumming that they support RTMP? That protocol isn't listed in the specs.

    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...

    Can Dahua cameras stream to youtube using H.265?

    Apparently for about a year now, YouTube accepts H.265 for livestreams. Has anyone been able to get their Dahua camera to successfully stream to youtube using h.265 compression?

    Using smart PSS (or DMSS) to move the wiper

    Thanks. I was able to get the wiper to work when logging into the camera and pressing the wiper icon. When I try to do it with smart PSS, I don't know what to add for Aux order. Do you know what I put in there? I tried 0 and 1 :

    SD8C845FG-HNF showing pink spot when zoomed in all the way

    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

    I should have clarified, I will be accessing the camera through the internet, so local network option not possible. Also. internet provider doesn't provide a static ip address for the internet connection that the camera is connected to.

    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...

    IPcamera using Starlink Internet and RTMP

    I used to think the ip cameras needed a dedicated IP which starlink doesn't offer (for remote access) until I realized that the ipcamera apps work without dedicated IPs. So I'm interested in starlink again... Have you tried streaming with your starlink?

    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
