    That did the trick, thanks!

    What's happening to my video? It's turning green.

    That's basically the URL I used for ffplay, it works perfectly there but VLC can't play it. Very odd. I'm on linux so maybe my version is missing a plugin or something.

    What's happening to my video? It's turning green.

    Thanks guys. I found out how to use "ffplay" to view the camera remotely, and it looks perfectly on there while showing the green bar while connected using tinyCam on my phone at the same time. Looks like the problem might be on the tinyCam software and not the camera itself. False alarm...

    What's happening to my video? It's turning green.

    I'm using tinyCam PRO on my android phone like I've been using for the last 8 months or so. I didn't change any settings on either the camera or tinyCam app and it was working perfectly for months until I just noticed this showing up the other day. I don't login to the camera every day so I...

    What's happening to my video? It's turning green.

    Please see attached image, this green stuff has been appearing lately in my video. I've rebooted the device several times (power reset) and also tried playing with every video format and filtering type of thing I could find in the web interface (switching from h265 to h264 etc), nothing changes.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    So I can just chop the factory end off and then put my own female plug/socket back on? I don't have crimpers for any of that. Maybe I'll leave that alone for now and try replace just the cable and switch. Can you recommend a better poe switch that would meet my needs here for this camera? Sorry...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    ok thanks. Back when the camera was installed, one of the pins (either #1 or #8) in the rj45 connector was bent, probably while the ethernet cable was being plugged into it with a bit of an angle so that the plastic edge of the clip ended up pushing that pin in the connector a little further in...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Hi all... I have this camera, purchased end of Feb 2017 from a forum member here. It works great for the most part, but every once in a while it just freezes and locks up, has to be power cycled to get the camera to respond again. From the reports I've received from the guys who are using it...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Interesting. Is that the case for any PoE device, or just for this specific camera + injector?

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I bought this camera a little while ago for a project, finally getting to install it. I plan to use a POE injector, it was recommended in this thread (I think), model is POE-I100G, with output at DC52V. My question; can I run Power over a 200 foot cable? I have tested it with a 100 foot cable...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    That is awesome! And you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Why this information is not displayed somewhere in the web interface is beyond me. I'd have never known that http interface existed had I not just randomly popped in and read your post.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Interesting; I agree on leaving it on auto for the most part, but not really fair to compare settings across 2 different days as there might be more/less sun/clouds etc.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Thanks Idasilva, the "Easy Viewer" chrome app does work on linux... I can resize the window too, always a useful feature :) Actually the stream is like 2 seconds behind "live", but that works for me still since I just need to see what the image looks like while making adjustments. The "NACL"...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Is there a firefox plugin that works in linux? The plugin works fine on windows of course, but I run linux exclusively and I get a 404 error when trying to click the link to view the video.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Is there any other url/protocol to connect to this device other than rtsp? I'm noticing that viewing the live stream in internet explorer webpage on windows is smoother than when viewing the stream with ffmpeg/rtsp. Seems more jittery and jerky when using ffmpeg. My url which I'm using is this...

    power adapter for Dahua SD49225T-HN

    I see what you're saying. For me this camera will be installed inside a building, so the elements thing shouldn't be a problem. I agree though, when it's permanently installed then I will use the PoE option, I just want to use the adapter for a few weeks while I play around with this camera and...

    power adapter for Dahua SD49225T-HN

    Thanks Tinman, nayr. Ok, but if I plug the adapter into the "wall" or a proper extension cord, and the other end of the adapter/cable goes directly into the camera; we're talking <= 3 feet of cable after the adapter. Would that not work? And how would I know if the voltage is dropping, or does...

    power adapter for Dahua SD49225T-HN

    First I want to leave a massive "THANK YOU!" to forum member EMPIRETECANDY, I ordered my Dahua from him on Friday afternoon and it arrived Tuesday morning. Apparently this model doesn't come with a power brick. It has an option to use POE, or a 12v DC power brick, and I'd prefer to use the...

    looking for ip cam suggestions.

    In what way is the Sunba junk? Is it quality of device, or is the image quality much poorer than competeing products... ? Genuinely curious, I bought the Sunba after doing a bit of research and some really liking it, but that was before I discovered this forum.

    looking for ip cam suggestions.

    I know you probably get this question a lot :) But I'm looking for an IP camera to be used in live streaming events. Requirements are: - > 10 times optical zoom (not digital) - must be accessible via rtsp://xxxx - must support PTZ - must support onvif - no distortion in lens, so people should...
