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

[n0xlf]

That may have the best shot at fixing it - I'll give it a try tomorrow...

I TFTP'd in DH_SD-Eos_EngSpnFrn_N_Stream3_V2.420.0001.0.R.20161220 with cfgRestore and oddly enough, it didn't get rid of the Life Stats, although it did reset them...

On an unrelated note, this works well for plugging the back of the box if you are using a corner mount (OER Rubber Trunk Floor Pan Plugs 1667195) - Expensive for what it is, but fits perfectly..Poked a small hole in it for the LAN cable as you can see in the pic.

Would these fit a typical dahua round wall mount box with a conduit hole in the side, ya think? Been looking for rubber plugs.

 

[Frank van der Heide]

Any suggestion how to best set up the target area and target filters (min and max sizes) in my scene? Is there any guideline for best detection in IVS?

Change the arrow to up/down. (Start drawing from the other direction to change the movement direction.)
Make it a bit more square sized.

Set to appears or crosses.

Set the min size to a bit bigger then the bricks.
Max, a bit bigger then a car up close.

Go for a walk/quick drive and test or wait for a car to pass.
Rinse and repeat your adjustments until it behaves roughly how you want it to, eg ignore a cat but follow a person.

Make sure the green movement box is tracking people/things as they move, if it doesn't appear, adjust the contrast a bit more, you want the camera to already know stuff is moving by the time the object crosses into the trigger point. (Sometimes you have to restart the camera for it to properly take affect).

And LOL, say a few of you guys playing with my toy SD29 today. haha

Thanks, I will follow your suggestions. Never figured that the way you draw the box defines the movement direction. That's an eye opener. I will test it and give my feedback here. Thanks again.

And yeah, I'm one who looked at your setup on your PTZ. Hehehe, curiosity kills the cat ;-)

Haha thats my baby test one, the login is limited but lets you play with the PTZ settings etc.
She is there until I bring my SD59 back from work.

Camera is free to fiddle with right now, seems like you logged in at the same time as someone in Cali.

 

[Frank van der Heide]

Set to appears or crosses.

I have it set now to appear, cross, enters. Is that correct or should i choose between either appear or cross?

Test with both active, see how it goes.

@beingaware Can we get these back with the images blacked out if the camera owner is really that bent about it?? I just got mine yesterday and was going to reference what you changed as a testing point.

Yep when I get to work in an hour I'll throw up just the settings.

The plugs are 34.925mm (inside) (1 3/8 inch) - Dahua has detailed drawings on all of their mounts if you search for it - I think the back of the corner mount was 35mm...

The two different IR settings are dependant on your max usage range.
I personally would keep it turned down but you'll need to balance it to give AF and AutoTracking the best chance.

Re max focal limit, you can leave that unlimited unless your max target range is less then 200m, in which case turning on the limit will speed up AF seek rate.

Why did you set the bitrate to 4096 Kbps? Doesn't 8192 Kbps give more detail? I have only 3 cams on my Gigabit switch, so speed should not be an issue. Or does maxing out the bitrate affect AF or tracking in a negative way?

 

[Bret_FL]

What size screws are you guys using to secure the mounting arm to wood? Will be mounting to 8x8" dock post

As big as will fit and the best quality you can get your hands on. Even better if they are cap screws with security heads. Don't skimp on the hardware.

Was to help stop lag while I was assisting that camera Remotely, their upload to me was struggling.

I have mine set to 6mbps usually.

Nice video of the SD59 tracking Floyd the cat through the yard. Orderd 6 ir lights to supplement the lighting around the house.

 

[Frank van der Heide]

what happened to

Agree with everyone all on all counts. We will persevere.

My install was interrupted by my crazy neighbor, for whom these cameras are being installed for.

@Solar Deity, what happened to you? I was hoping for some help after your last message about assisting to help setup IVS and Autotracking. Your previous explanation was really helpfull, so i was actually hoping for more ;-)

Care to share your settings/guide?

Why so much noise in the audio?

 

[n0xlf]

Reseating my camera module didn't help anything - The optics in the module are all internal - The front of the camera is nothing more than a "window" so even if it were off somehow, it probably wouldn't make a difference. I did it anyway, and no luck.

It's also dropping packets, so there is more going on with this mystery cam than just hidden menu settings and focus problems...
