    Empire Tech PTZ SD4A425DB-HNY User Interface Firmware Update Question

    Still an open question on updating to the newer firmware. I am inclined to leave well enough alone. Would still like to have some feedback from users that have updated.

    I am running Windows 11 Pro on a Dell machine. After creating a restore setpoint, I installed the newer web socket server from the link you provided. PROBLEM SOLVED! Runs fine on Edge and reasonably well on Firefox. Thank you!

    Empire Tech PTZ SD4A425DB-HNY User Interface Firmware Update Question

    Thank you for the reply. I will give the Internet Explorer option a try tomorrow. I do not go in to the user interface often, so it should get the job done. What about updating to the newer firmware?

    Empire Tech PTZ SD4A425DB-HNY User Interface Firmware Update Question

    Andy, I purchased two of the SD4A425DB-HNY cameras from your Amazon store in July of 2023. They have worked well after initial setup. Several months ago, I noticed problems while viewing the video from the user interface. Any window sized less than full screen was black. If I double-click the...

    smartpss lite is not working on my windows 11 PC

    On your computer with the rebuilt Windows 11 operating system, have you tried to log in to your cameras with a web browser to view live video and look at the camera configuration? I use Microsoft Edge to do this. The first time I tried to directly access a camera via IP address, the browser let...

    Windows 11 Home or Pro?

    I have successfully purchased two codes through a tech web site called Neowin. At the top of the page is a link to Deals. Each time it was $29.95 and I felt it was worth the risk. Both machines upgraded without a hitch and both have been receiving Windows updates and etc. Both just received...

    Windows 11 Home or Pro?

    If you like one PC more than the other, it is a relatively inexpensive upgrade to purchase a code to update from Windows Home to Windows Pro.

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

    Yes, I have two of these. Mine sounds like gear noise between the motor and lens head. It is noticeably louder when the tracking period ends and it returns to the default position at high speed.

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

    After tracking a subject, my two SD4A425DB-HNY cameras make a very audible sound when returning to the default position. It is loud enough to draw the subjects attention.

    Firmware Update for SD4A425DB-HNY - Sep 2023

    I have not had any recent issues drawing from scratch or editing existing tripwire or intrusion zone graphics. There is a limit to how many lines you can draw, I recall around 15. I am on Windows 11 Pro with a desktop connected via Ethernet. As recommended by Andy, for camera settings I...

    Firmware Update for SD4A425DB-HNY - Sep 2023

    I have not updated my firmware yet. I have two of the cameras and have been holding off for a while. Maybe work on it over the weeekend. I found for both tripwire and intrusion, draw your graphic and when you hit the line/node limit you can click on the right mouse button and then trashcan...

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

    Your comment about QOS is a red flag. In today's world of gigabit LAN and high speed internet, QOS is a waste of electrons. It also adds significantly to the workload on your router. Recommend you turn it off, restart your LAN in sequence, and check the performance of your camera connections.

    I have two of these cameras that have been in service for about 45 days. Access the cameras from two computers, one Windows 10 and one Windows 11. Computers are connected via Ethernet to a router. The Windows 10 is on a static IP and the Windows 11 is not. Cameras are connected to a managed...

    Outdoor POE Switch? Or just run multiple ethernet cables?

    Installing an outdoor POE switch in a small waterproof enclosure usually works fine. The switch generates enough heat to avoid moisture problems in the enclosure.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Basically yes, BUT. The TP-Link TL-R605 is a router with a VPN server that can be enabled and configured. The TP-Link RL-R605 is connected downstream from your DSL modem/router. Not good to have two routers on the same LAN without some special configuration tweaks. You would need to be...
