PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

Those are some HUGE mf'ers! Geez, looks like I'll have to wait until 2030 and hope for something smaller.

1st gen/large Hubble is very large in person.
Mini is well.... mini.

Back on topic! ETA for new FW release? Garbage days for me still cause a couple of random "bin is a person" tracking issues

It would be a good value if the tracking just didn't suck.

That said, I I mentioned previously, inside of 150ft and with a clean non-busy scene with few distractions (field, large open lot) it will probably work fine for you.



No vehicle filter set. Shouldn't track vehicles

It fails to acquire a target often after initially being triggered. In this case it does acquire it on the second try.

Sure - but what's the ETA on new FW?

I don't have Vehicle or Big Ass Tires checked for tracking.. fyi

I am still having issues, I've just been in a funk and haven't had the capacity to mess with it lately. I'm sure Andy would likely work with me, but I've just accepted I own it at this point and wouldn't be able to return it.

Was there ever new FW issued for this camera that fixed any of the tracking issues?

 

[bigredfish]

There was a release that did seem to reduce vehicle tracking when not desired or enabled.

But I think it’s at its limits in my scene.

In a more open, less cluttered area, and inside of say 250-300ft, it does well.

I just think it’s 1st or 2nd (or whatever generation) AI. Doubtful they’ll update it in any major way.
