    Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!

    Good thing I never used it. This was on the Dahua site.

    Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!

    Sounds like you use a PC, so I am no hope there since I use a Macintosh, but last week I was having trouble accessing a camera to make changes, which had previously never happened before. I finally figured out that after updating the Mac to the newest Tahoe OS that it had somehow made changes to...

    Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!

    Yes, I use IVS on both of them and have never had an incident where either has been tripped by accident, and I have been using them for years. The only thing I dislike about the IVS on the T-180 is that it is most sensitive in the middle of the image. IVS on the sides will hardly ever set off a...

    Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!

    Just uploaded the files for you. Yes, I did upgrade to System Version 3.140.0000000.43.R Build Date:2025-12-12, and it is working well on both cameras.

    Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!

    I have the following firmware for the T-180: General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX-Taurus_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V3.140.0000000.43.R.251212 DH_IPC-HX5(4)XXX-Taurus_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V3.140.0000000.39.R.250718 General_IPC-HX5(4)XXX-Taurus_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V3.140.0000000.22.R.240618...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Yes, the S3 has a much better image, but the 4M-T has the speaker that works great. That's why I don't use the S3 there. The best speaker of all-time is the one in the Dahua N55DU82. Only problem is that it is worse than both the S3, S2, and 4M-T at night. In the daytime the image is probably...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    One thing I have since set up for the Color4M-T overseeing the porch and front entry door is a motion detection zone with another camera for anyone entering my yard between 11pm-5am. The intrusion will send the alarm signal to my NVR, which then outputs to a wireless switch connected to a...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Today I swapped out the B54PRO-Z4E for the B54IR-Z4-S3 (again). I like the daytime image of the B54PRO more than the B54IR because of the better dynamic range and color palette, but at night the B54IR is a better choice. The noise from the sensor on the B54PRO negatively affects the image, and...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I like the Color4M-T for the front door. This morning in the dark, as the mail carrier delivered a package, the smart illumination worked great.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm turret fixed lens

    For the most part, yes. However, the AS will be a bit better in low light. The main advantage of the ZE is its flexibility. It can adapt to more scenes, since the focal length can be changed.

    PTZ5A4M-25X IVS and Tracking ?

    Ok, sounds like a factory reset is in order. Sometimes old settings get stuck on previous values.

    PTZ5A4M-25X IVS and Tracking ?

    Just to be clear, is this where you are making the post-record settings, as Bigredfish suggested? This is what it looks like on my screen.

    PTZ5A4M-25X IVS and Tracking ?

    This is the newest firmware that Andy lists on his site. I have the same camera as you have, and I tried this new firmware, but it wasn't working as well as the previous firmware I had been using. Andy has a special "animal tracking" firmware (by request only) for the camera (dated 3/17/25) that...

    PTZ5A4M-25X IVS and Tracking ?

    In that case, the next thing to try might be a factory reset of the camera and then reload your settings. I had to do that with my PTZ to cure whatever was causing the problems that I couldn't seem to fix.

    PTZ5A4M-25X IVS and Tracking ?

    Did you make the settings on the PTZ using Internet Explorer? With other browsers the settings sometimes will not hold, be reset to the default 10 seconds, or even be hidden.
