    REVIEW- Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP AI mini PTZ

    which SDmini brand card did you use? I installed the Samsung Proendurance 256GB and it seems that the Dahua firmware doesn't like them as I've gotten a few errors over the months, last month I decided to remove them and format them using a laptop to FAT32 and got one error since then which was...

    Heads up, tech support is denied when buying Asian market products for American use (which is what Aliexpress sells) although the Aliexpress seller did help me a bit

    REVIEW- Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP AI mini PTZ

    I believe they've discontinued further firmware support for this model however I was told that their technical support is excellent, I purchased from aliexpress to USA and because of this technical support will not support my purchase, where are you located?

    REVIEW- Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP AI mini PTZ

    Yes, I've attached it to one of my previous posts above. These seem to be quality cameras, the specific type of video capture must be manually set, I don't recall whether it is set by default, scene change is different from motion, etc. there are many capture options.

    How long is the camera up-time to test that memory card brand compatibility?

    REVIEW- Dahua SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP AI mini PTZ

    I've attached a screen shot of what I believe you're asking for. There hasn't been a new firmware release in years, I believe because these cameras have been discontinued. I have a few of these and so far things are stable but I was having a problem with memory card errors using the Samsung pro...

    Storage medium abnormal Dahua DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    Yes, several times now and the error appears in the DMSS app for both of these PTZ cameras. I asked AI and the reply referenced a FAT32 PC format requirement, using 128GB memory card instead of the maximum 256GB mentioned in the manual and third was an incompatibility to this brand and model...

    Storage medium abnormal Dahua DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    Hi guys, I installed two of these PTZ cameras and they're both indicating the "storage medium abnormal" error in the DMSS mobile app, I've formatted them both using the DMSS mobile app. Installed Samsung 256MB flash memory cards, has anyone experienced this problem before? Do they require a...

    HELP with Dahua network PTZ camera DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    Thanks for your feedback, I believe you may be unaware of what I also was. Because I don't do this every day and had a teeny bit of experience a decade ago while installing two WIFI radios which used POEs, what confused me was that the installation manual for my dahua camera said 12V for power...

    HELP with Dahua network PTZ camera DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    AC, thank you for your quick reply and detailed feedback. Considering what you wrote I believe I understand, if these cameras are powered using the round power socket, it must be 12v, if using the RJ45 then power must come from the 802.3af POE which this POE standard outputs 48V. I'm feeling...

    HELP with Dahua network PTZ camera DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    Tony, I see the wattage ratings which is easy to calculate the maximum current draw but my dahua cameras need 12v each and draw 8.5w max with IR light usage. These POE switches, what's not clear to me is the voltage, all of these switches indicate various voltage outputs, are the ethernet ports...

    HELP with Dahua network PTZ camera DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    If an unmanaged switch is used, does anyone know if the POE switche's mac address could be programmed to use an alternative subnet mask within the main network router GUI ? I'd prefer that the cameras did not share my network traffic as it's known that both lorex and dahua cameras were...

    HELP with Dahua network PTZ camera DH-SD1A404XB-GNR

    Tony, thanks for the quick response and link to the specs. Which POE make and model do you suggest using? I contacted dahua but they refused to assist simply because it wasn't an american market model and the weather here is beginning to cool and wanted them working as they should before gets...
