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

    Will this still be an issue with BI even if I set the camera up in BI to only trigger from the camera's ONVIF triggers? This is my 3rd Dahua camera "watching" the front yard/street so I'm using all of the power of Dahua's IVS to do all of the triggering so BI basically just records what it's...

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

    I seem to be making some progress. I changed my codec to H264B & turned on smart codec. The playback now is what I'd consider very decent. Rebooted then tried H264 and smart codec. Playback seems even better, maybe normal. Still plugged into my router directly with external power supply...

    OK, catching up on the last two suggestions (thanks!) Duplo, all of my cameras are set to static IP, just my standard. I don't have VPN's running or even set up to be used. I didn't disable my Bitdefender AV but... I did what you asked and used a separate power supply for the camera and...

    OK, so it was great to learn about how to run IE again, thanks for that. But, even running IE now, it doesn't seem to make a difference in anything regarding the issues above. For example, it took about 45 seconds for the initial login screen to appear. After login I was prompted to run the web...

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

    The computer I use, and the other two computers as well as the camera are on the switch and don't go through the router. I'm certain of that.

    Sorry forgot to answer the router question. No, it's going through a managed POE switch. I'd have to connect a separate power supply and connect it directly to my router. What are your thoughts on POE Managed switch vs router?

    I can try getting IE to work on my Windows 11 computers but I'm assuming I'd be doing this as a way to diagnose a Chrome/Edge browser issue, not as a permanent solution. I think it'd be reasonable if you only needed IE to run this GUI people would complain since the most average computers these...

    No, live view takes a few seconds to appear (10-12?) but no issues with live view (choppy or blank video).

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

    Because I speculated that playing directly from the SD card in the camera might have a lower 'read' capability. So copying the file down to my PC and running it made me think it has something to do with the SD card being slow. I upgraded to the fastest I could find and based on what I've read...

    Yes, I forgot to add that important distinction. Any video I download as mp4 plays as expected; no choppy video. I don't have IE, can't get it, only edge and there is no prompt for plugin since I appear to have the latest firmware which appears to run in the native Edge or Chrome. Although in...

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

    My SD4A425DB-HNY is proving to be very challenging in two areas. 1) unacceptable lag between menu selections and choppy or blank video playback from SD card. Not at all like my SD49225T-HN and 42212TNI, which are both responsive, snappy and no choppy video playback from slower SD cards. I've...

    SD4A425DB-HNY external mic connection help

    Forget the above I messed up and couldn't edit. On the camera tag: Red-audio out, white-audio in, black-ground. Mic wires are red and black. Do I connect the white camera wire to the red mic wire and the black camera wire to the black mic wire with the red unused?

    SD4A425DB-HNY external mic connection help

    On the camera tag: Red-audio out, white-audio in, black-ground. So, then I would connect the white wire from the camera to the white wire on the mic and the black wire from the camera to the black wire on the mic with a red wire from the camera not used... Does this sound correct? I recently...

    SD4A425DB-HNY external mic connection help

    I'm trying to use an external powered mic with my SD4A425DB-HNY camera but unsure about the wiring connections. The camera has 3 wires, red, black and white. The wires from the mic are red and white. The mic has a separate power connector. How would I connect two wires with 3 wires? Is one...

    help understanding a few settings

    Ahhh, that is good to know. I suspected that I could use one or the other or both. Having MD on creates a lot of false negatives (leaves, bugs, tree shadows). Just using IVS cuts down on this a LOT.

    help understanding a few settings

    I've recently started using 3 of my Dahua cameras IVS features to record on a local SD card (in addition to BI recordings). However, in the past few years I've always let BI do the heavy work of motion detect, filtering and trigger recording. I've decided to use some SD cards in my Dahua cams...

    Blue Iris Tools and UAC

    I guess Windoze updated on my Windows 11 computer and now, on reboot, UAC is asking for permission to run Blue Iris Tools. Is there an easy fix for this to automatically run BIT or have UAC ignore it?

    UI 3 and green screen playback issue (again?)

    It's happening on my desktop computer at home and, now that I'm on the road, with my laptop. On both machines I was using Chrome primarily but tried Edge and both had hw acceleration turned off and both tried using javascript. When this was reported late last summer, switching to javascript...

    UI 3 and green screen playback issue (again?)

    Fixed this a few months ago from a suggestion to turn on javascript in UI3 but it's been back now for a least 2 months. Tried Edge, turned off hw accel in both edge and chrome, still no love. Anything new on this to try to get rid of the green screen video playback in UI3?

    Loryta IPC-2347G-LU (Hikvision), possible to flash with Dahua firmware?

    Out of curiosity, where might I find the equivalent Hikvision firmware to flash my Loryta camera? I mean, if I went to the Hikvision firmware downloads, how would I know which one to choose?

    Loryta IPC-2347G-LU (Hikvision), possible to flash with Dahua firmware?

    I have a Loryta IPC-2347G-LU camera and I thought I saw somewhere, awhile back, that this camera could be flashed with a similar version of a Dahua camera. I'm interested in doing this because it would then fit nicely in my Dahua Smart-PSS environment. I intend to replace this camera anyway so...
