Dahua 5232-16p-EI

We see screen like that with BI sometimes if special codec is being used, but I would hope that Dahua cam and Dahua NVR would talk with codec, so if you are on anything special, go back to simply H264 and general codec. No smart Codec or any other options like that depending on the GUI your cams have.
 
Tried another brand new HDMI cable, different monitor, no changes.
Unless Andy or somebody else can think of something I'm missing, I'll have to send this back unfortunately.
 
Now I'm getting, with a 16 cam screen display, 1 cam display going totally nuts. Over saturated colors filling the entire screen for just 1 cam.
I've tried a 8 cam display, 9 cam display, etc.. same thing. 1 cam screen going nuts. Not the same one depending on what number display I have up.

I have changed HDMI cables, tried different monitor, etc.. same thing.
Logging into the NVR with a laptop, the 16 cam display works fine.

I'm thinking perhaps the HDMI connector on this might be screwed up, or ???

Is this still the case?

Seems if so, the NVR is decoding fine, but you're max'ing out the HDMI output?

Correct.
I'm wondering if perhaps this NVR isn't 100% compatible with older cameras?
If I put up a 4 cam display that shows only newer cameras, like the 4kT, the new mini-ptz, and 4kX... the display doesn't scramble.
If I put up a 4 cam display that includes older cameras such as the IPC 5842, 5442, etc... those displays scramble.
 
I can’t imagine it not playing well with 5442s…. Weird

Is there a difference in how they are connected? NVR PoE port vs external switch?

For kicks - try a factory reset of one of the older ones and set it up in Internet Explorer - maybe some hidden codec is messing around in there.

Unfortunately tried that. Also have been using IE on a old laptop the entire time.

It really has me scratching my head. Why the scrambled cam display changes depending on how many cams are being shown, etc...
Things like this drive me nuts.
 
I guess time to upgrade all the older GUI cams :lmao:
I don't think so...lol :eek:

I'm wondering if a firmware update would fix things, but I'd hate to wait for an update with the display like this. Drives me nutty see the scrambled. lol..
I'd really like that new 32 ch 8xI, but $1000 is too much for me.

Spoke too soon. Now it's stating I only have 236M/bps total available instead of 420M/bps, which is now shutting off 2 Snapshot.
I tried default with restart. Tried factory reset.

Something is very very wrong.

5xxx-EI series in newest firmware have added AcuPick mode, which halves bandwidth and puts some limitations on HDMI display resolution.
It is enabled by default (I don't known why), You can disable it in AI -> Parameters -> Plan -> Local -> set classic AI mode (disable AcuPick).

Yep. I have it disabled. But good idea.

if you don’t have full 400-420 mbit of total bandwidth, it means that:

  • you have enabled AcuPick somewhere (NVR or any newest WizMind-s / S3 5xxx cameras),
  • in classic AI mode on one or more channels you have enabled SMD/IVS/Face detection/recognition done locally on NVR (not camera).

you must check plan/SMD/IVS/face on all channels - they must run on IPC and there should be disabled AcuPick everywhere.

If total bandwidth return to 400 or more it will mean that You setup this correctly and NVR runs in full power mode

Yes, I'm back to the full 420Mpbs bandwidth. A default of the NVR brought that back earlier.
Though unfortunately the scrambled displays continued.

how many cams connected? What resolution of cams? How much bandwidth used? How many cams You try to display at once?
15 cams. Resolution of cams anywhere from 1920 to the 4k-T180 which is what, around 4,000?
220Mbps bandwidth used.
Cams I've tried to display anywhere from just 4 to the 16 display.
Zero AI functions enabled on the NVR, all AI is on the cameras themselves.
