Dahua SD8A840-HNF-PA Auto Tracking

ptech · Mar 31, 2023

Does anyone know how to enable auto tracking on the Dahua SD8A840-HNF-PA? It seems to have a different interface than what I'm used to on these.

Post a screenshot of the GUI so folks know which version it is.

Oh that is the new interface (yuck LOL).

Here is a video on how autotracking is setup on another PTZ with that new interface, so fingers crossed it is the same for this one!

I don't believe the auto tracking is working correct. I was watching your video and the motion duration was set to 300 and it went back to home. Can u check this and see if that's true.

ptech didn't post any videos and the only video in this thread was a sample video that stopped tracking once the subject was out of the frame.

Any time a tracking PTZ loses the object, it returns home regardless of the tracking duration time.

Or is this a bot trying to learn by posting on an almost 2 year old thread :lmao:
