    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 :-/

    Dahua PTZ camera making creaking noises when panning up

    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

    What about it? You mean there's an easy way to open the camera from there?

    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.

    There's a silicon moisture pack inside it??

    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...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Ok so now that I've let the cameras run for almost 24 hours on the single 'one profile to rule them all' - I can confirm it is a DISASTER. The tweaks which made it perfect for daytime viewing have now reduced the picture to a muddy hellish dog's breakfast at sunset. Can we put this idea to bed...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    I've just tried this, and WDR introduces FAR too much noise during the day to provide ample detail in the shadows. It forces me to use exposure compensation. I'm sorry but you're wrong. A single profile is not sufficient.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Well that affects me, especially since this camera has half its scene pointing to a large undercover area which is mostly dark shadow during the day, whilst the other half is in direct sunlight.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    What about exposure compensation? No single value suits both day and night. What do you set yours on?

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    So if I understand you correctly, exposure compensation cannot be solved for one profile, correct? I'm guessing you don't use this? Your exposure compensation is always at 0?

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    What about exposure compensation? At night, I need a lot more of it than I do during the day. What's your solution there? How can I manage this with one profile?

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    I agree, hence why being able to set it based upon local sunrise/sunset times is the only optical choice.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Is there some sort of law in Europe that compels sellers to force the manufacturer to 'fix' their firmware for their devices? Because where I live, the seller will just tell me to suck a rock.

    Wasn't this always something that could be done?

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    And what if I need to enable WDR in the day because of the glaring sun casting huge black shadows over covered areas?

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Just set it to auto then. Why even buy Dahua's 'better image sensor' in the first place if you can't tune it for specific conditions? Just buy a Reolink.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Well that's not an option because I bought this from an online seller. All they'd do is tell me to go through the dahua website.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Listen, I don't know where people get off saying that one profile is enough, but it's not. My porch lights alone completely blow out anything I've set in the day profile, and if 'ranges' are your saving grace, then the range would have to be so big to contain all the possible lighting situations...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Like I said, without the incredibly basic ability to set schedules based upon the sunrise/sunset cycles, it's pointless anyway. Does anyone have any direct emails for engineers at Dahua? I'd LOVE to write them a few colourful emails with my feedback.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Correct, and now I cannot even do that because the Dahua API doesn't allow it.
