Hello everyone

DAHUA HFW5231E-Z5

When is zoom with these 2 camera the aufocus is moving too . But how can i fix it ?
I would like to adjust the focus a little , and after 3 hrs the autofocus move my settings ...

How can disable autofocus like HIKVISION cameras ?

It is a big problem !

Have not tried this, but sometimes you can can try calling preset 95 from the camera directly. Doesn't always work, but worth a try.

These 2 cameras are not PTZ

I can't recall the model, but I've called preset 95 on some none PTZ cameras. They were just zoom and focus.

Was in the same situation as you, the camera interface had no way to switch off the auto focus to manual, on a wim, I called preset 95 and sure enough, it gave another set of menu items not listed from the GUI.
