    SD49225XA-HNR Getting very frustrated with IR

    I guess it is resolved. I had it on Manual for years without issue but for some reason it doesn't like Manual anymore. The IRs are only working on the ZoomPrio mode. Guess its ok. Now my other challenge is a white van parked under a street light is Fing up my ppl tracking. Got to figure out if...

    SD49225XA-HNR Getting very frustrated with IR

    So I have an issue with whenever this camera goes to night profile. Not sure if it is Blue Iris but every night, the IR is off and won't come on unless I log into the camera. Don't have to change any settings, just log in and the IRs come on. I've tried rebooting. This is a new issue. I have 2...

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    Tried the PTZ1A4M, horrible with IR. Daytime is decent but forget Night. Also had a hell of a time connecting first time as manual states the ip is 192.168.1.108. Spent a half hour changing my system to .1 subnet just to find out the camera configured itself to my .4 subnet and was on DHCP, not...

    POE IR, yes. Don't need much zoom. Maybe 4x. I have 2 49225s outside but they're too big to hang from the ceiling.

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    Going down a rabbit hole and figured someone can recommend one. Tried a reolink trackmix and its garbage. Its for a basement, so its indoors but I need optical zoom. Nothing crazy since the objects to be monitored are only 10 feet from where the camera will be. Tried asking Andy and haven't...

    Hi, Andy. I am looking for a PTZ for indoor to view objects from about 3 meters away. Can you recommend some that aren't very expensive? Tried a Reolink on a whim and its terrible. Under $300 or around there.

    OMG Another example of how bad some cameras are at night.

    Just grabbed a Reolink Trackmix to be able to zoom into my 3 fish tanks lol. I had a Dahua varifocal that works great but I cant pan it. I guess I'm spoiled. This thing sucks. Didn't want to dump more than a couple hundred bucks but I hate the trackmix already. It has a 2 lens body in which only...

    IPCHDW5231RZ Loss of playback until reboot.

    Sorry the camera is recording straight to the SD card. The camera is not new but the SD card is a Samsung endurance Pro which I use in all the other cameras without issue. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to try swapping cards. There is another 5231 mounted with the same card that is not doing this.

    IPCHDW5231RZ Loss of playback until reboot.

    Not sure if this is the best forum but here is my issue. When using dmss, I randomly lose the playback data until I reboot the camera and this even happens logged into the camera directly. Rebooting the camera will now show all the available playback. It will work for several days and then all...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Sorry to jump in here but, about the RJ45 burnout. I have had 3 poe plus cameras (that have been up a couple years) have chernobyl incidents only on the camera ends. So, my question is, dielectric grease or not? I've read about it causing issues. All 3 connections were the weather-sealed ones...

    Yes, all cameras are static. No conflicts

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    FINAL FIX UPDATE! It turns out, the socket error was caused by the last run of cat 5e cable, between a POE hub and the camera. I tested the camera after attaching it right at my main switch. The test camera worked fine where the ptz is, because it doesn't pull the same wattage as the ptz. The...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Today I started at the camera. I disconnected the affected ptz and plugged in another Dahua 2mp starlight and all day it has been rock steady. Zero signal loss. Pretty confident it is the camera. Something with the network part of it. Sucks as it was purchased July 2022. It is a Dahua unbranded...
