    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    Same, I will just have to take my mind off of it and use more due diligence next cam purchase. Just didn't expect to buy a PTZ that is about 6 years newer and get worse performance, movement wise. The IQ is good.

    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    So first, I went ahead and bought a POE++ to see if Hans*2 was correct stating that it needs more POE power to run. NOPE! still laggy. In reply to you, I tried moving each PTZ thru the DMSS app. Even across the mobile network, the 49225 reacted within approx .75 seconds. (one one thousand ...

    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    You may be on to something. My switch is a POE+ which provides up to 30 Watts per device. This camera does show 24 volts at 2.5 amps. This makes the max power draw 60 watts. The cameras specs show POE+ as recommended but that must be wrong. Maybe it requires POE++. I'm going to grab a POE++ and...

    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    First time I've been disappointed in an Empire Tech camera. Smart PSS, for me is about 2.2 seconds. Blue Iris almost 4 seconds. Camera GUI about 2.8. Its like a game. Hold the mouse button for how long you think and WHIP, the thing flies way off of your target. Worst response ever of all cameras...

    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    Thanks, your reply does help. I was hoping it wasn't the camera, but its great so far otherwise. Kind of strange since it is a much newer model than the 49225. Not what I expected.

    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    I have this PTZ5 and 2 other PTZs. The other 2 are 49225s. Pressing any direction to move the PTZ5 takes a couple seconds but the older 49225s move almost instantly. What is weird is the 49225s are connected thru a couple different POE switches but the PTZ5 has a more direct connection and its...

    Older 5231R-Z Time issue. Can't get it right.

    Okay so the firmware update resolved the issue with the time. Of course after the firmware update and the reboot the box was unchecked for easy4iP which I'm pretty sure is the P2P function. Either way the new firmware resolved that stupid 1 hour difference.

    Older 5231R-Z Time issue. Can't get it right.

    I did exactly that, then a minute later, it goes back. The camera is in Eastern, -5hrs GMT. Set it to -4hrs and it changes back. Weird since the other 5231 doesn't have the issue. Flashed it with the FW of the other cameras FW and it loaded successfully and then I lost connection. (Did this...

    Older 5231R-Z Time issue. Can't get it right.

    Forgot to add. 2 of the same cams on same network but one firmware is 8 months newer. One keeps time, the older fw is off. Grabbing it now and see if it resolves.

    Older 5231R-Z Time issue. Can't get it right.

    I know these cameras are old but I cannot get the time to display properly. DST is enabled just as in my other dahua cameras and whether I use the ntp server or not it is continuously off by 1 hour. I tried turning off ntp and controlling the time manually and lied to it by 1 hour in the GMT box...

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    All set up. So far I love it. Seems to ignore trash cans but still kind of considers mailbox posts as ppl. One thing that is puzzling me is how to fix the object closer to the center when tracking. It is kind of slow and initially tracks the rear of a car. Tried reducing target size to 28 but it...

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    Haven't set it up yet bc its crappy here today but happy that at least, its a different FW than your original one that was an issue.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    I just ordered one of these today from Empire on Amazon. Firstly, thank you and Andy for trying to work out the quirks. It definitely takes a boat load of time. I am upgrading from an SD49225XA which has been good, but the card slot never worked and was improperly soldered to the board. (Too...

    SD49225XA-HNR Getting very frustrated with IR

    I guess it is resolved. I had it on Manual for years without issue but for some reason it doesn't like Manual anymore. The IRs are only working on the ZoomPrio mode. Guess its ok. Now my other challenge is a white van parked under a street light is Fing up my ppl tracking. Got to figure out if...

    SD49225XA-HNR Getting very frustrated with IR

    So I have an issue with whenever this camera goes to night profile. Not sure if it is Blue Iris but every night, the IR is off and won't come on unless I log into the camera. Don't have to change any settings, just log in and the IRs come on. I've tried rebooting. This is a new issue. I have 2...

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    Tried the PTZ1A4M, horrible with IR. Daytime is decent but forget Night. Also had a hell of a time connecting first time as manual states the ip is 192.168.1.108. Spent a half hour changing my system to .1 subnet just to find out the camera configured itself to my .4 subnet and was on DHCP, not...

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    POE IR, yes. Don't need much zoom. Maybe 4x. I have 2 49225s outside but they're too big to hang from the ceiling.

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    Going down a rabbit hole and figured someone can recommend one. Tried a reolink trackmix and its garbage. Its for a basement, so its indoors but I need optical zoom. Nothing crazy since the objects to be monitored are only 10 feet from where the camera will be. Tried asking Andy and haven't...

    Hi, Andy. I am looking for a PTZ for indoor to view objects from about 3 meters away. Can you recommend some that aren't very expensive? Tried a Reolink on a whim and its terrible. Under $300 or around there.

    OMG Another example of how bad some cameras are at night.

    Just grabbed a Reolink Trackmix to be able to zoom into my 3 fish tanks lol. I had a Dahua varifocal that works great but I cant pan it. I guess I'm spoiled. This thing sucks. Didn't want to dump more than a couple hundred bucks but I hate the trackmix already. It has a 2 lens body in which only...

    IPCHDW5231RZ Loss of playback until reboot.

    Sorry the camera is recording straight to the SD card. The camera is not new but the SD card is a Samsung endurance Pro which I use in all the other cameras without issue. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to try swapping cards. There is another 5231 mounted with the same card that is not doing this.

    IPCHDW5231RZ Loss of playback until reboot.

    Not sure if this is the best forum but here is my issue. When using dmss, I randomly lose the playback data until I reboot the camera and this even happens logged into the camera directly. Rebooting the camera will now show all the available playback. It will work for several days and then all...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Sorry to jump in here but, about the RJ45 burnout. I have had 3 poe plus cameras (that have been up a couple years) have chernobyl incidents only on the camera ends. So, my question is, dielectric grease or not? I've read about it causing issues. All 3 connections were the weather-sealed ones...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    FINAL FIX UPDATE! It turns out, the socket error was caused by the last run of cat 5e cable, between a POE hub and the camera. I tested the camera after attaching it right at my main switch. The test camera worked fine where the ptz is, because it doesn't pull the same wattage as the ptz. The...

    No Signal on BI camera randomly but live view in camera never stops.

    Today I started at the camera. I disconnected the affected ptz and plugged in another Dahua 2mp starlight and all day it has been rock steady. Zero signal loss. Pretty confident it is the camera. Something with the network part of it. Sucks as it was purchased July 2022. It is a Dahua unbranded...
