    Warning ! BI update 5.8.0.11 will corrupt your database and will lose alerts.

    My did the same and took all day to fix itself AND not record anything in the mean time. Just went back to the latest stable v5.7.9.12 and then it does it AGAIN but figured that might happen. Why I rolled back, my cams started going off line or locking up after the update. So I blamed myself for...

    Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR Issue/question

    Thanks, pretty much what I have got going, but worse. I have my presets 1-5 on a left to right viewing, no elevation added or subtracted and all will be off after one gets off the set preset. I end up having to reset them all because it won't return. If I do my cam exercise, up, down, left and...

    Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR Issue/question

    Yes, I used find/inspect to find camera. Didn't change any presets, if I do, it's only in BI so far. I use find/inspect again and all is still the same and after changing it back to Dahua New V4. So, yeah, still doing the same.

    Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR Issue/question

    I check the total work time on this cam, 62 days, 13 hours. My question is on the PTZ function. I thought it was spot on after setting up my presets with hot zones in the home preset in BI, but it's not. It does not go back to that same spot I preset, close, but no cigar and I believe it did...

    New budget friendly thermal camera

    Same here, I live out in the woods and have a dirt access road for neighbors next to me. Every now and then, I've needed thermal to see what's going on. Every so often, we get some excitement around here. Plus I mostly have my cams up to watch my animals and the wild critters to. Not to mention...

    New budget friendly thermal camera

    It's not about seeing a face, it's seeing what is out there when IR fails to see something. How many times have you had a visitor appear out of nowhere, person or animal. This will see it, unless it behind something. Thermal can't see thru wall, glass, trees, etc. But if something alive is out...

    New budget friendly thermal camera

    Plus, spending that kind of coin on low res, low refresh......nope not me. The thermal world sales are like laptops. (if you'll know what I mean) Until then, I be in in a heartbeat, love me some thermal.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I'm might have to look at that. Might be easier that way for me instead of learning vlang stuff that my switch could do.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    did that yesterday and nothing happened. I'm gonna give it another try, but I believe it's dead and it came that way. Not once did it go through a start up cycle. That was why I started this thread and then really never got that answer if it would do a start up cycle, had to go to another thread...

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Yeah, not once did it find the IP of the cam, but did show my other cams. No I will give it a try. But you had me on my laptop. I'm guessing that were you want me to try. I'm going to go off DHCP on my BI computer and set it back up manually and have a look at the stuff you all asking about.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Yes, I'm using the dahua config tool program. Not sure now, the switch is new to me. I remember it having a light, but that's it. the switch software, under monitoring has a "Cable Tester". Every time I ran that with the cam and port, it showed open port. Then to see how it behaves, I connected...

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Yes, I did the reset thing and held it a good 13 mississipi's....LOL As for a green or yellow light, don't know. But I'm guessing it was orange. The switch has a port test and it always said it was open port.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I'm feeling it was not a very good experience with my first real cam, And hesitate to try my other cam I bought at the same time. But I don't have a place to test it yet, it's a SD49225XA-HNR

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I did in the beginning. I did get it from him using Amazon. He said something along the lines of different issues to me messing it with my switch like under power or over power, software issues, etc.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I bought a Trendnet injector to try, did not work. Found a 12vdc, did not work. Double check laptops settings that were mentioned above. And Almost forgot, did the camera reset button. Although was not sure how long to push. Tried different, 1 sec, waited, then tried 3 second, etc, up to 10-12...

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Thanks for the help, I pulled a laptop out of mothballs and did the the followed your request. Still a no-go. I'll have to look or go buy some 12v power. In the mean time, I put my BI computer back to DHCP to run my cams for the night. Thanks again

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    I was already using a injector for one of my Amcrest Ptz cams and now using the switch to power it, well before I change the IP's.

    I don't have a 12VDC supply. I can change the switch and computer to anything you want me to, but it has to be PoE for power

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    Just my PoE switch. The two cams with odd numbers are not working now, but show up with the config tool. Meaning BI is not working now. But I can log into the switch with the new IP AND I just tried to look at the other cams using the Amcrest software and it did not work either.

    Bought a SD1A404XB-GNR on Andy's BlackFriday deals and can't seem to power up

    My switch in on DHCP so that won't work right. So I just changed my switch to 192.168.1.27 with DHCP disabled, change computer IP to 192.168.1.100 and my browser still can't see 192.168.1.108. I use the config tool and still see my other two Amcrest PTZ cams 192.168.50.13 and 192.168.50.14 but...
