    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    Interesting. If yours cannot tilt at all, then it is worse than mine. Makes me worried that my incoming replacement will be worse :-/

    Yes, it was an online seller in my country. I've already submitted an email, just waiting on their response.

    Auto Tracking Pets with Dahua

    I don't particularly care if there isn't an explicit 'animal' setting, so long as it detects the dog as an 'object' and tracks it -- which I know it is more than capable of doing with the right firmware.

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    I'm not sure what the chances are that the seller will help me with firmware - they will likely refer me to Dahua support directly. And I doubt Dahua themselves will make a special firmware just for me. Have they done this for anyone else? I only bought this cam because I was assured by you and...

    Wildlife Observation - Latest Recommendations?

    I've got a DH-SDT3E410-8P-MB-A-PV1, and it's got an additional panoramic camera on top of the PTZ. This allows the PTZ to be activated by IVS rules set on the panoramic camera, and move it into position to track the object. I can get it to work flawlessly for humans, but most of the reason I...

    Auto Tracking Pets with Dahua

    Did you end up figuring this out? I'm having exactly the same problem! I've got a DH-SDT3E410-8P-MB-A-PV1, and it's got an additional panoramic camera on top of the PTZ. This allows the PTZ to be activated by IVS rules set on the panoramic camera, and move it into position to track the object...

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    It is already installed outside, and can still hear it. It does not seem to interfere with the functioning or movement of the camera. But I am worried it will cause damage with time. Also please let me know if you have any other firmware available for this one Andy. I realized the one you gave...

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    Hmm how easy is it to take these things apart? Will it compromise the IP66 rating? I'm guessing it'll void my warranty.

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    Wow so it's that obvious huh? I was hoping there would be a simple fix. Not keen on shipping this off back to the other side of the country and waiting on a replacement :-\

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    Sure. I've turned the camera around to the adjoining wall and reproduced the sound by tilting it up and down. Please note - despite how close it looks, the camera it making absolutely no contact with anything. I can reproduce the sound by manually tilting the camera ball up and down with my...

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    Hey guys, So I bought a DH-SDT3E410-8P-MB-A-PV1, and throughout my last week of testing, I've noticed that it makes a creaking sound only when panning up. Panning down doesn't make any discernible noise. This is heard both through the camera feed and also when standing nearby IRL. This occurs...
