    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    This awesome cam needs an 'auto' setting for the tracking ratio. Guessing most of us would like to have the closest image without losing tracking. We know that lowering the ratio provides a better chance at tracking the person or vehicle. But what we don't know are the limits that make the...

    Desktop Microphone

    Your OP mentioned a pair of mics, this requires a mixer to combine both mics into the cam feed.

    Desktop Microphone

    For a solution using a condensor mics: select good omni boundary mics (ex. Shure MX393/O or similar) requires a mic mixer with phantom power (ex. Shure SCM268) will need balanced audio (from mic mixer) to unbalenced (into cam mic in) audio adaptor (ex. RDL TX-AFC1F)

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    For spotter cam calls, best practice to MOVE or to MOVE & TRIGGER the PTZ tracking camera?

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I have the same issue, and guessing this is a function of how the camera locks onto a person or vehicle. My typical senario: Spotter cam senses movement & calls PTZ preset, PTZ moves to preset, 2 or 3 or 4 second delay until PTZ recognizes target, then zooms & tracks. Agree - cam loses...

    Are there any IP Cameras with stereo input?

    Most Production and Corporate systems use either 3G SDI or IP (or both) cameras. These cams are much more $$ then the typical Dahau or Hik cams. But the audio is separate in these systems, and not part of the camera signal flow. Mic enabled security cams have only one mic - no way to get...

    Audio from another cam not working

    Confirmed, original Driveway Cam is not providing mic audio to other cams. Tested this on another cam, same results. Only Clone#1 provides mic audio.

    Audio from another cam not working

    Restarting the cam in BI did not work. BUT, the Driveway cam is cloned a couple times (spotters). and mic audio from Clone#1 works as a source for other cams. Strange it does not work with the Driveway cam or Clone#2. Mic audio is present on the Driveway cam, and both Clones when viewing thru...

    Audio from another cam not working

    I am using an external mic with my Driveway Cam (line in feed), and want to use this same audio feed for my PTZ cam. I have successfully done this with other cams, but only when using the cam's internal mic. No luck when using the Driveway cam's external mic when selected for another cam. Is...

    Multiple HDMI extenders on one network

    Encoders & decoders are IP devices, and should be 'addressable'. Any UI available with your devices to set IP addys? Then direct traffic as needed for Tx -> Rx devices.

    Correct sequence for firmware update?

    Advice from @looney2ns It's usually always best before updating a firmware, that you follow this: 1-Set camera back to FULL factory defaults. 2-Update firmware. 3-Set camera once again back to FULL factory defaults. 4- Configure camera back up from scratch, don't import any exported settings.

    Correct sequence for firmware update?

    Agree! There are tons of devices that excel from firmware updates for fixes and upgrades, sad this is a shortcoming for Dahua. From personal experience, all my cams are Dahua running current firmware - knock on wood no problems. Do your research, read update notes and determine if the...
