[tangent]

hi everybody,

Before explain my problems, thanks a lot everybody for each comments ! With these, i've make my choice to buy my first PTZ Camera. My choice is the SD52C225-HNI for some reasons. However, i have a little problem with PTZ :
@nayr present in a latest post how this camera made to tracking with IVS fonctionnality. My model seems to be the same than his video but when i go on the admin web page, i don't have the menu to configure IVS. No IVS Menu in Event or other Menu.

When i use SmartPSS 2 to configure IVS, it's possible but tracking doesn't work.
I will have ivs normally via web page ! Firmware update ?

In version tab, i have this information :

Software Version2.422.0000.8.R.E4.2512.3S.NR, Build Date: 2017-03-15
WEB Version3.2.1.430772
ONVIF Version2.42(V2.2.1.414651)
National Standard Version No.
PTZ Version3.02.20.RHNP
scmVersion
Camera Version
S/N 3CPAN7Exxxx0002

Someone (particulary @nayr can help me please ? )

Thanks a lot !

Also does anyone know if it's possible to have the camera automatically zoom in closer when it's autotracking an object?

Yes it is possible

 

[Dasstrum]

Yes it is possible

How would one do that

When you set up the IVS rule, you can specify the window size, which affects zooming in.

Here was a test I did with IVS a few months back

Just got this camera from @EMPIRETECANDY . Haven't got the time to install it under the soffit yet, but intend to do so in the next couple of days.

My camera Video Standard is PAL, which results in a max. of 50fps. My country mains is 60Hz. Should I apply NTSC based firmware? Do Video Standard format even have any influence on IP cameras, as opposed to analog cameras? Sorry for my ignorance...

It's all digital, so it doesn't matter.

I will post my impressions here as soon as I get it installed under the corner of the soffit on the first picture below.
So far, it's looking good sitting upside down on a chair, facing the Window...

Last pic on the right, is that a red indicator light, or is that light reflecting from your camera?

As far as I can tell, it seems to be some led inside.

Finally got the time needed to install the in-ceiling camera. Haven't got much time to play with it's settings though. For now, I can tell that I find it's image superb, no matter day or night.

Would appreciate a night shot when you get a chance.
Thanks for the update.

It will be my pleasure. Will try to post today after sunset, IF it's not raining, as I suppose rain may add undesired noise to the image.

 

[Cesar Guimaraes]

There you have it. Night shot at nearly factory default settings. All I did was select the profile that auto selects between day and night. Never touched any other image settings.

I have a weird issue, I am using SmartPSS on my mac and I can NOT control the PTZ from SmartPSS. I go into Live View, and open the PTZ menu and nothing happens.
If I go into the camera via the IP address directly in Safari I can move the camera around.

Any ideas?

Maybe removing and re-adding the camera may help.
Have you tried: delete camera > select Auto-Search > let it find the camera > select it from the list > provide credentials again?

YMMV
