    IVS event skipping frames on the local microSD recording

    You must be an aberration. Everyone else that I've spoken to or emailed has a problem with IVS recorded events. There is a fundamental problem with how dahua records these events. The code they use has a serious bug.

    IVS recording doesnt work properly. Nor do any event recordings. If you want to set it up. Log into the camera directly and set it up there

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I don't know how to change the ISO on the cameras, maybe the gain feature. I think that will also change how sensitive the sensor is to the light that it detects. That may increase graininess though.

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    To be honest, I don't think that will fully solve the problem. Aperture priority mode will automatically set the shutter speed to maintain the correct exposure based on the camera's exposure algorithm. To get clearer video on motion, i.e., when people or cars are moving, you need to have 1. a...

    Why don't you open the iris all the way? That will let in more light. Your aperture priority mode is limited the iris opening. What happens if you set it to all the way open.

    Move your intrusion zone farther up the street, or add another one up the street. Need to give your camera more time to zoom in

    Camera Sugguestions for new customer? Please advise

    If you cheap out, your clients will be pissed at you when their cameras start to fail. I don't know what kind of business you are running, but you might be better off buying a system from a big box store. At least, then you and your clients will have better warranty support. From my testing...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I don't use push notifications. I would assume not, as I believe the oush notification simply alerts one to the fact that an event was triggered. The camera does a good job at this, it is just that the code hey used to implement the recording of the event (video) is fundamentally flawed...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    The problem is event video recording with or without continuous recording has not been implemented correctly. So there will be at least a one second drop of video on event recording. One such workaround is to turn off event video recording, keep continuous recording and store a jpeg snapshot on...

    Make sure the clock is synchronized correctly. I have mine checking the NIST server every minute. I noticed there was some clock discrepancies across devices when I had each device synchronized every hour. Not sure if that helps the issue. Are you doing email alerts from your NVR or directly...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    This is a problem with the way Dahua implements their event recording algorithm in all their IP cameras and NVRs, as far as I can tell. Sucks. Other threads discuss this. Work arounds include continuous recording and storing only jpg snapshots on event triggers.

    Attempted burglary and mail theft at homes on my street - is this camera enough?

    Better optical zoom. Focus seems off. Autofocus looks like tree leaves on the left are more in focus than mailbox. Better IR lights.

    Make Image every hour

    I haven't tried this myself. Although, I was messing around the setting for other reasons. This is what I have come up with. LMK if it works. There is a way to set a schedule for snapshots. If you log in to your camera directly. Under the storage heading on the left of the screen, there is...

    Zoom ratios are almost meaningless and are more about about marketing.
