I have no affiliation with Hik. From what I can tell they don't even really seem to listen to their distributors. I'm told that that they removed auto-tracking from the non-Acusense version of this camera as the gears are very small and they were wearing out prematurely. With auto-tracking...

I have the UK release and updated to V5.8.0 build 230519, Auto-Tracking and all other functions appear to work now - I'd be very careful uploading western firmware on a grey china import - last i heard you end up with china language only. You'll find smart tracking tied to the VCA section.

yes DS-2DE4A425IWG-E

I did, updated to 5.8.0 still the same and verified with supplier who checked their stock units running 5.7.4 that it doesn't work. They suggested downgrading to 5.7.1 using Batch Config but it came at the risk of bricking the PTZ - its installed in a soffit using a flush mount so PITA to remove...

Sadly although it purports to have Auto-tracking in its specs, and it is there in its menu it doesn't work.

Just got to be careful of IR or light reflecting back into the lens from under the soffit, your probably already aware of that though if replacing an existing PTZ. The cameras in question look great - DVS has a youtube video on these. Choose the 2MP 20X if covering long distance, 4MP 12X will be...

I series is more powerful then K

Their not 'indoor domes' they are a 5mp model which is not good for dark/low light environments - I have the 3MP version in the same format and its excellent at night (I don't even use the IR).

Google 'IP over Coax' or 'Ethernet over Coax Extender'

'Third stream setting is normally under 'Maintence' -> 'System Service' From your description sounds like your just getting a notification and that LPR is active, have you tested it yet?

Also drop your substream fps, I only run mine at 12fps and run the iframe @ 4X the fps (so 48 in your case).

You should have 40meg of incomming bandwidth to play with between your 4 cameras, but keep in mind that this also include the substream (Mainstream + Substream x4 cameras). I would look at dropping the frame rate to 15fps for any camera that is just for pedestrian traffic - I only use higher...

Check the record settings for event. Also bump up your bit rates, 6144 is a bit on the low side for 5MP @ 20fps with matching iframes. Change the settings from the NVR it will give you recommended bit rate ranges for your settings. Consider switching to H265.

Take it the recorder itself has no alarm inputs either?

Get a proper outdoor PIR or microwave/dual tech motion detector - anything using the cameras own optics as the alarm/event activation will be flawed and cause too many false positives.

Same problem for me.

Depends where you put it and how observant they are... The red glow is a dead give-away and can be useful to draw attention but not to capture evidence or at least recognition, the camera more discreetly placed at low level with its IR off will often get the money shot - seen it play out many...

IR is easy to defeat, black & white footage offeres less evidence vs colour. If your intruder knows the position of all your cameras there's little chance you'll get the evidence you'll need, its the one they don't see that will get the money shot. Low light camera, IR turned off - augment with...

Chaps, some new firmware available on Hik UK/IRE website Hikvision UK & Ireland just updated 2 of my cameras, nothing bricked - will have to see what these really fix since the readme says little other then compatability updates.

I normally fit the recorder in the loft, maybe connect a 1st floor TV or monitor and either run a data link cable to the router or use a pair of power line adaptors for the internet side of things.

I vaguely remember some inconsistancies using the park action via its own PTZ section, in the end I set a 'park action' via the 'Schedule' section as a preset - 00:00-24:00 Mon-Sun, etc.

And the solution was? (its good to report back as its useful information for the next guy that has a similar issue).

OP, from what I've seen Ubiquiti PoE adapters are proprietary made for their own kit, most run on 24v so that’s likely your issue.

hikvision ptz auto/smart tracking

I have found that some Hik firmwares don't like you changing their ports, had some problems with a grey import 2032 a while back. Post some screenshots of your network settings page and also your router port forwarding - probably be too much to hope that the the TalkTalk "super router" does...

You didn't get the below lens adjustment tool? (picure by the late Network Camera Critic. RIP.)

Just got a pair of DS-2CD2525FWD (IWS version). Interesting setup - mic appears to be the small hole at the base of the left hand side of the camera base piece. IR has been moved to 2 seperate frosted lens modules either side of the camera body away from the main CMOS ball, this should help...

^ Same but stranger things and all... OP have you tried disabling your anti-virus when installing firefox and the plugin?

As actran says 8MP will be worse then the Easy IP3.0 2&3MP cameras, however I have an new 8MP turret next to an older 2-Line/Easy IP2.0 4MP turret - the 8MP actually performs better at night - less picture noise, cleaner overall and a touch less motion blur. Overall you really need to consider...

PTZ often includes the power adaptor in the case PoE injector - a lot depends on your supplier, some buy them without - worth checking.
