    SD59225U-HNI DH_SD-Eos_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.810.0000000.4.R.200509.zip;

    Has anyone using a PTZ1A225U-IRA-N tried this firmware? Has it improved the auto tracking?

    Dahua Frustrations

    @biggen , you should take another look at Shinobi. I am pretty sure it will run fine on Debian. It's only major dependency is on nodejs modules and most of those get installed through npm. I have been testing it for a couple of weeks. It is still very young and lacks some of the features that...

    Dahua Frustrations

    Hmm, surprising that Shinobi does not support Debian. Their recommended platform is Ubuntu which is Debian based. I am OK with using Ubuntu Server as that is my preferred distro for bare metal installs anyway. My one area of concern for Shinobi, revolves around its ability to leverage my Dahua...

    Dahua Frustrations

    I have started to explore moving in this direction, to a server based solution, though not Blue Iris. I have a Synology NAS and they do have a camera app available for it, but that brings individual license costs, and it only does old style motion detection. Synology has a nice new product...

    Dahua Frustrations

    Probably my first pure rant thread I have ever posted. After working in IT for 30 years, I usually was reading other people's rants about something I had worked on. I am retired now, so my turn! ;) I am at the point where I am so frustrated and disappointed in the Dahua equipment that I have...

    NVR608-32-4KS2 NVR608-64-4KS2 Latest new firmware NVR6XX-4KS2_EngFrnSpn_V3.216.0000000.1.R.190614

    I have given up trying to figure out why the RTSP streams on the NVR fail after a short period of time with this firmware. I pointed my application at the cams themselves and they are now stable. @EMPIRETECANDY , perhaps mention to Dahua that this version has broken RTSP support. RTSP support...

    NVR608-32-4KS2 NVR608-64-4KS2 Latest new firmware NVR6XX-4KS2_EngFrnSpn_V3.216.0000000.1.R.190614

    I recently updated my NVR with this version and I am now having issues with RTSP streams dropping and/or freezing. Previously I could have RTSP streams open for days for remote display on Raspberry Pi units and now they freeze after about an hour. The API support has improved in this firmware...

    Looking for webplugin.tar.bz2

    For the moment I can use the NaCL plugin in Chrome on a Mac for the PTZ's. I have bigger worries with the NVR update I just did causing RTSP streams to freeze after about an hour. Thanks though.

    Looking for webplugin.tar.bz2

    The URL is composed of the IP address of the camera with the file (E.g. http://192.168.1.20/webplugin.tar.bz2 ). I will enable SSH and poke around to see what I can find.

    Looking for webplugin.tar.bz2

    I assume the tar would contain the plugin for Firefox on Linux. The link in the camera window upon logging in announces that you don't have the plugin loaded and when you click the provided link, then a 404 comes up as the tar file is missing. I am guessing that the camera is supposed to have...

    Looking for webplugin.tar.bz2

    I am trying to get my PTZ's working under Firefox on Linux, but the webplugin is not resolvable. Anyone have the needed file? My camera/firmware details are below. Device Type SD6AL245U-HNI System Version V2.800.0000000.5.R.E4.4510.9A.NR, Build Date: 2019-08-27 WEB Version...

    Comprehensive Camera System

    Lol. I was trying to see if adding an intrusion zone would help the Auto Tracking so I added a zone to my front PTZ. Awhile later I pulled up the live view to see if I could see it in action. I am watching the stream and 5 teenagers get out of a small compact car parked across the street...

    Comprehensive Camera System

    This build finally happened over the last couple of weeks. Well mostly done, still have 1 PTZ to mount. I ended up going with 4 x SD6AL245U-HNI and 14 x HDW5231R-ZE. My installer was surprised to see how many cams I was putting up. The PTZ's were a bit of a chore to get mounted. They are big...

    4k starlights

    Wow, that is crazy quality for low light colour images. Sadly I doubt we will see that in a security cam anytime soon.

    Comprehensive Camera System

    My previous house had plywood under the flashing on the soffits, but I have a feeling that the current house just has flashing and then open air to promote air circulation. If that is the case, then I will toggle to using the top trim at the top of the brick wall directly below the eaves if my...

    Comprehensive Camera System

    I have a question about mounting PTZ cameras. I am wanting to try to hang them from the soffit, both to minimize the alterations required to my house and for ease of installation while 25 ft up a ladder (at the back of the house). Do the PTZ cameras work better when attached directly to brick? I...

    Comprehensive Camera System

    Oops, I was scratching my head for a sec there. I was not sure where you came up with 9 PTZ's, but then I noticed I had copied the wrong model number in for the over view cameras on the sides of the house. There is only going to be 5 PTZ cams. With 2 or 3 being in the Ultra series (depending on...

    Comprehensive Camera System

    I am new to the forum and am in the planning stages for a camera system for my home. I have been lurking for awhile (even before I created an account) and thought that it might be sensible to get inputs from the camera junkies (forum members)! First background on me. I live in Canada, near...

    Oops just realized I put this in the off topic forum. What a newb! Moving to a more appropriate place. (Administrator feel free to delete this thread)
