    Video Quality .

    I think your settings are about as good as can be achieved. There is enough ambient light that LED emitters won't help and you can stay in color mode. The only avenues for improvement I can advise are the angle and position of the camera, and perhaps exposure settings. But usually going to...

    Dahua PTZ presets in Milestone XProtect Smart Client

    Looking at my old post here, something changed because it now works. I don't remember exactly what happened with this issue though. Cam is 6AE240VNI, using v 2.640.0000000.2.R.n5... 2018-06-28. Using setting similar to what Dipitidi says: Enable PTZ checked, ptz device id 1, com port COM1, ptz...

    Auto Tracking Dahua PTZ

    More cameras. PTZs can only do one thing at a time, and for that reason they are a poor choice for monitoring a large area.

    How to eliminate motion blur???

    I can't see the video sample due to dubious firewalls at my location, but usually with Dahua cameras when I have motion blur it is due to the 3D Noise Reduction setting being too high.

    Dahua IP cameras that can be in-ceiling mounted

    Yes, it works well, as long as the locking tabs that hold the ceiling tile don't cut through the ceiling tile.

    Milestone with HiWatch Doorbell DB-120A-IW

    From Milestone's KB article 000003193: Frames per second: Video frames per second shown on this physical display. Video codec: Encoding used by the camera, e.g. H.264, H.265, MJPEG, MPEG-4, MxPEG, etc. Video resolution: Horizontal x vertical number of pixels in the stream, e.g. 640x480 pixels...

    Viewing two Dahua cameras

    I remain quite confident that the difference between yourself and looney is the camera-version combinations you are working with. If you both have the same model cameras on the same firmwares then I'll be proven wrong.

    Are dome camera covers replaceable?

    I don't think you will ever find replacement dome covers, but if you could find them for sale, they are easy to replace.

    Viewing two Dahua cameras

    This is a bug in Dahua's code. Usually they do it properly such that each model-version installs its own unique plugin, and they can be installed and ran simultaneously with other model-versions. But sometimes they screw up and the model-versions conflict with each other, leading to it being...

    Comments on the HDBW4231F-AS

    Looks like a little too much Sharpess on the Hik. The edges of everything in the image are over-emphasized I feel. But yes the Dahua looks washed out, like the HDR setting is too high of a number. Though 8 and 15 are certainly low HDR setting numbers so there may be no setting that improves it...

    IPC HDW5231R-ZE

    Looks like the long exposure leads to blurring of moving objects/people. Your stream settings are maxed out on bitrate and inefficiency, no way to obtain more image quality there; conversely, tons of room to gain bitrate efficiency.

    Installer error CFG64015: Failed to create login when installing on dedicated SQL Server

    How to modify "Onvif User"?

    I have successfully added a new ONVIF User-type user. I've never tried to explicitly change the ONVIF User "admin" password though.

    45x ptz temps

    Yeah I would think it is normal behavior. These cams run quite a bit warmer than ambient.

    New Ultra Starlight PTZ SD8A240VI-HNI

    It seems similar to the current 6AE240VNI. Biggest difference is the much larger sensor, longer IR range, and longer focal length lens. Personally I'm not a big fan of going tighter on the wide end of the zoom. One thing I wonder, does depth of field start to become a problem with these...

    Dahua and ONVIF authentication

    Yes you are correct. However it is very inconsistent among a pool of Dahua cameras. For instance I am dealing with hundreds of the same model of Dahua camera, and about 10% of them, after changing the admin password, still require admin/admin for ONVIF connection (the other 85% use admin/(new...

    How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

    The most fun is, even if using something plugin-friendly like Win7 and IE11, it seems that: a) every Dahua camera and every firmware version on that camera uses a different version of the plugin; b) some Dahua camera-versions conflict with other Dahua camera-versions, so if you want to view one...

    Dahua and choppy video?

    I recommend changing your video encoding stream settings. Your bitrate is probably spiking too high for some component in the chain of equipment to handle, so it misses frames.

    Milestone camera settings not updating

    Milestone camera settings not updating

    Yeah, that's how it works. You configure Milestone with camera settings that it sends to the camera when you hit save in Milestone. However it doesn't enforce those settings over time, and it doesn't pull in new settings that the camera itself changes.
