Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus
- Thread starter Wildcat_1
- Start date
This appears fixed in the newer models of Z12’s. For example, don’t see this issue on 5241-Z12 that replaced 5231-Z12
Must be twice as good then
It’s all speculation at this point; I only see a 7x difference in terms of zoom; perhaps there’s a little more manipulating of components to fit a 32x lens in this foam factor (5 inch chassis as per the model number nomenclature)
Yes I mentioned this in an earlier post that the 59xx will be almost double the cost of the 49225
I read a couple of comments claiming that the issue was still there a few months ago; not sure if this was eventually fixed in firmware updates

Not sure which model those were pertaining to but I know my 5241-Z12s have been rock solid without a soft focus issue. The 5231-Z12 did, still does have the beyond 80% soft focus hiccup in that sometimes all good (run mine close to 100%) other times a little soft but if you use the tricks such as switching before sunset and again before sunrise that we’ve shared that does help on the 5231 a lot.

UPDATE: I did not have a POE+ switch, so it won't run without either POE+ OR a power supply. After getting help from Wildcat_1, who has been amazing, this thing is a beast! It works amazing. I do wish it had auto_tracking BUT with the Deep IVS, it works just about 100% of the time as far as picking up the triggered tripwires and Intrusion boxes. I will choose this setup any day over the auto-tracking of the 59230 I had and returned. That was so bad 90% of the time, spinning like a top and completely missing the triggered object and area. I may get another one.
Excuse me but... Un fucking believable! Just opened the box from Amazon.. SD49225XA from Empire Tec Andy... I am assuming this camera is supposed to have a power supply in the box? NOPE! Nothing but issues. Has to be me lol. Scratches by the screws on the back cover too. Someone had this before me. Super good chance its going back. Maybe I have a PS somewhere and see if its works. Sorry guys but this blows

What’s the build date? Do you think the box was previously opened? Mine didn’t come with a power supply; it’s not included and not required
Sometimes the amazon warehouse handlers mishandle items

Must have been an isolated case then especially from new users just getting
Question is, is it returned because auto track isn't there or auto track is there and returned for another reason (or maybe person didn't think autotrack was working correctly)?
Hey @rcirz no power supply in these as they are expected to be POE powered. Scratches could be from manufacturer packaging / shipping but cannot be 100% without seeing pics etc. generally on electronics these would not be returns that Amazon then puts back into rotation unless marked as Amazon Warehouse. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t returned to Amazon but would be strange to see that happen as not their normal procedure.

Hey man, if you have time, Id would like to have you go into this new cam, set up one simple rule just to see if its me. Cant get a single rule to follow me.

Mine disconnected and reconnected several times when initializing; likely culprit was the provisioning of the static IP I was setting. Also, I noticed only 2 of the 4 IR LED's turn on, is it a simple setting change to make all four IR LED's turn on?
@rcirz hopefully I showed you what truly is possible with IVS triggers and PTZs tonight on your system and gives you a better idea of what I mentioned over the weekend above to all on the thread. I'll reconnect with you in a day or two and we can tweak further, add more and utilize your other cams for the Spotter / Overwatch setup, trademarked remember 
Well if you want to check IR then go into manual in IR Light menu and turn near and far on full.

If yours is not on a PoE+ switch, that could be a logical explanation for the crashing. I bought a Rosewill PoE+ injector to go with mine, since my switches are not PoE+ by nature.

Never assume, you can find out in the first post.
No, it does not come with a power supply, it is intended to be powered by POE+, which would come from your network switch. Google is your friend.

I used this one from Amazon Uk but I'm sure Amazon.com would sell the same.
