Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus
- Thread starter Wildcat_1
- Start date
Set a Smart Plan for Deep IVS, go to Event, Deep IVS then in the trigger setup see if you have an Alarm Track option. Do this through web GUI using IE
Thanks, I haven't mounted it yet, is there a safe way to see if it works or not? The PTZ is currently laying flat on the box, lol
Would recommend you bench mount and test. Definitely don’t attempt and don’t move the PTZ while its flat. If you’ve powered it up while it’s flat you also run the risk of damaging it. Can you mount to a board ? Connect the PTZ to the arm, then mount to the board and secure it vertically so it hangs as it would when normally mounted. Set a preset for straight ahead, setup the IVS event as I mentioned above with intrusion zone and then move in front of it.
It seems like I may have just picked up the last unit on Amazon; at the time of purchasing it said "1 left in stock". After submitting the order the Amazon listing showed "Unavailable"
It took a couple of days for the Amazon inventory to refresh and now shows '4' in stock, which in my suspicion is very likely to be the newest stock.
The box I received today was immaculate and pristine condition; looks like these cameras are selling extremely fast.
I was shocked by the shear weight of the box. Was not expecting this to be heavy; its only 4-inches in diameter. I feel very confident in this camera right now and am glad to have purchased via Amazon.

The cameras are selling very fast, it is an incredible cam for the money as I keep mentioning 
lots of interest in this one.
lots of interest in this one. Thanks I will definitely do this. When I powered the unit I was holding the unit from its top. I made sure the camera was not moving while making it undergo its initial startup. It definitely appears to have autotracking. 
Will do further testing and update here
Will do further testing and update here I think I may have picked up the last unit with Auto-tracking. When I ordered showed "1 in stock". After submitting order, listing updated to unavailable. Took two days for the listing to update to "4 in stock" but my order was unaffected. It was shipped from the Florida warehouse.

This can happen as Amazon pulls from different locations for inventory, if yours was fulfilled by stock from an older batch in a different warehouse then you may have gotten lucky with 1 of or THE last Auto Tracking unit before it refreshed with the newer batches from other warehouse.
Looks like it came from Florida, lol
Package departed an Amazon facility
Tampa, FL US

I don't know how Amazon logistics work, but seems that it was sourced from whichever warehouse had availability. Ordered on January 21, 2020
Will be interesting to see what others receive. I'm actually very excited now, looks this has put me to work up the ladder again, lol Will be removing a fixed 2.8mm Dahua 2mp Starlight turret and putting this PTZ in its place. I have plenty of fixed turrets that can act as an aid in successful operation of this PTZ as well.

Yes mine came with AT . I would recommend setting a PRESET1 up ( for instance your front gate ) and also set it to return to this position after how ever long you want after it has stopped tracking ( I set 30 seconds ) then see if it returns to that PRESET1 position each time without any loud grinding noises associated with this camera.
As above if I heard the grinding noise I would instantly know it had lost PRESET1 without looking at my screen.
Enjoy your camera and do some more homework on how to set it up right and it should reward you.
Thanks, my intuition told me to purchase that last one in stock. Now this has put me to work, the mount looks aesthetically pleasing. Do you think I should update the firmware?
Just be cautious. The 4 left does NOT mean they will have Auto Tracking. If these have been refreshed from newer stock batches in China and fulfilled more recently into this Amazon warehouse then there is an EXTREMELY HIGH likelihood they will NOT have Auto Tracking. Again as I mentioned above this does not stop you from using IVS triggers, MD and PTZ activation as a better solution BUT better to go into the purchase not expecting Auto Tracking at this point and being pleasantly surprised than expecting Auto Tracking and it being a unit where it was disabled.
