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

Was looking for this on Empiretech, but doesn't appear to be in stock. Has anyone ordered this camera recently? Is Andy still checking this forum?

I posted about my SD49225T-HN going to a white screen a while ago.
After restoring it to the settings that I had saved, I noticed that it was not focusing correctly, and in some instances not focusing at all.
I went into the Settings>Camera Conditions>Focus & Zoom and tried several things like changing from Semi-Auto Focus to full Auto, and changing the sensitivity. None of this corrected the situation.

On that screen at the bottom I noticed the "Lens Init" button. I had never used it because I did not know what it did, but figured nothing ventured nothing gained.
Clicked on that button and WALA, focus is back to normal.

Thought I would post in the event that others are experiencing focus issues.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but that is how my camera acted before it finally died. Just 3 months after I got it, the problem you had started. After another 2 or 3 months, the problem worsened to the point all I got was a completely black image. If I played with the Iris and exposure settings I could get it to show an image. But this was only briefly. As soon as the light changed or I moved the cam it would go to a completely black screen again. Well, I decided to let it sit like this to see what would happen. After about a week, and with everything set to default, I had a normal picture again as if nothing had happened. Then after about a couple of more months, the problem returned and all I get is the black screen showing only the time/date camera name overlay. Letting it sit this time had no effect, so after 3 weeks I decided to try and get it repaired/replaced. Well, that's on hold right now because even sending it back to Hong Kong via the cheapest way, it's going to cost over $100/USD. So, here it sits in it's box, until I can come up with the money.

One thing I did notice once I pulled it down to sit on the bench to play with it, is that when playing with the exposure and iris settings you hear a loud click coming from the camera just before the image appears. FWIW looks like a stuck IR cut filter as a guess.

Did you ask the seller for a return shipping label?

No. It was purchased from BEC (Andy) and honestly I doubt he would do something like this. Do the math. He basically would not make any money on this camera if he had to pay shipping both ways, plus the initial shipping when the camera was first purchased. DHL is more expensive than the US Postal Service, which is where I got the return shipping quote from.

Wouldn't hurt to ask. With his shipping setup, he should be able to get you a lower cost.
 
Ever since daylight savings time, my PTZ jumps an hour behind. I go into settings and sync it with the PC, but within a few hours it goes back an hour. I'm in the EST zone, and it is set for GMT -5. Any clues what is doing this?

I think I found the problem, I set GMT to -4 for DST.

I just got the powerline adapters from Trendnet. The speeds I tested in my current home are 125Mbps and the SD49225 still works perfectly!! PTZ functions are still fast and I see no delay. It literally functions like it is attached to a router.

This thing is incredible. Now I need to figure out how to get another waterproof gang box so that I can fit this adapter and the POE+ injector. The problem is that this adapter eats up two outlets as shown and if I buy the pass-through PLA adapter, it does not fit in this gang box.

Which Trendnet model adapter is that? Im looking into getting one if it works pretty good.
 
I am very pleased with my SD49225T-HN, in that it provides the needed additional view when IVS activity is detected by the fixed cameras.

The one thing that I'd like to see changed is the minimum idle time when it does go to a preset other than the Park preset.
Currently the minimum is 1 Minute. I'd like to see that lowered to a 10 second minimum.

I suppose that if you don't juice it up to POE+, you won't get an IP (which is why I had to return my IMPORX PTZ). Is anybody making a good mini PTZ camera out there, i.e., needing POE only?
