Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

[Hound Dog 911]

It's more so frames per second.

whats the difference in pic quality between sd49 and sd59 ?

sorry that's what I meant lol does it happen between day and night?

 

[hmjgriffon]

none, 59 has auto tracking and stuff.

 

[Hound Dog 911]

All four starlight turrets don't do it. The camera acts sluggish when it happens also.

 

[hmjgriffon]

Hmmm, well there are other experts that can chime in lol. is it the same time like clock work?

 

[Hound Dog 911]

No consistency on time. Will pay more attention to it.

@Hound Dog 911 Did you inadvertently setup something to change with the schedule?

Finally got mine mounted and seems ok so far but haven't tested enough to see if any of the previous issues are present.

I have noticed something odd though
When you set a tour up it works fine but it seems you can't start it again at all.

I might have not set it up correctly as I only just started delving into the options.

2 things I can tell you

1 the thing is LOUD! I can hear it move 3 rooms away lol

2. The hikvision nvr doesn't like the onvif ptz controls.
The presents don't seem to work unless that's because they are set on the camera and not nvr.

 

[nayr]

presets are set on camera and so should be the tour

Exactly as I thought
Can't seem to get it start again after it's stopped even by manually hitting start.
I didn't actually set it to stop so not sure why it did
Only way i can get it to start again is by deleting it and then 're adding it

Haha triggered some weird behaviour in the camera.

Was looking for the spider web I could see when the PTZ started to go nuts and played me a little song. haha

Whats going on here?

Quick question regarding the aspect ratio.

I'm sure 2mp should be 16:9 but mine seems to be 4:3 When set to 2mp.

As I'm viewing on a widescreen monitor it looks ridiculous.

Is there any way to change this whilst keeping the 2mp resolution?

 

[beingaware]

Mate that's telling you to "leave me the fuck alone"

It's like an emo kid. haha

Either way, was amusing.

What is with spiders and cameras seriously?
IR light attracting them or is it something else?

It's like a never ending battle keeping their webs away.

 

[nayr]

Light (IR or visible) attracts flying bugs, which attracts spiders to put webs up around such lights to catch em.. best solution is to disable onboard IR and go w/external illuminators... but that gets expensive for a PTZ with a large area of view.

cheapest solution is a duster on an extending pole, just keep it clean manually.

When installing the mic I found one of my power leads to the camera snapped. It was making contact but surely could have been the problem. I don't know iif it snapped when I took the camera off the mount or what but glad I had to get up in there. Microphone working awesome btw. Used the bullet mic Nayr recommended. Very happy! I have the Sealevel installed in BI now that the update fixed my bug. I have the pyramid 3a model 12v ps powering my pir's. Everything is working great! Installing the pir's tomorrow.

 

[Hound Dog 911]

And my camera will not return to preset 1 after a trigger to preset 2. I used the work around for now.

That's serious overkill, I'd recommend a smaller inline fuse on the order of 0.5-1 amp or seeing if you can swap a fuse that's internal to the supply for one with a lower value.

Live mode in Web browser bottom left W:H Original Adaptive.

Yeah but that only works on the web ui as I'm viewing it through an nvr it doesn't help it on that.

I was always under the impression 2mp was 16:9
The other 2mp cameras I have certainly are
