Sorry about bumping this but does anyone have any clue about this?

Hi there everyone, I have a few of these cameras: http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/ipc-hdb3300--5.html I was wondering if it was possible to wire it so that upon clicking a button (in Milestone XProtect), it will open/close the gate to which it is wired to. What type of cable would I need to use (just alarm cable?) and do you know if it is easy to wire these into the control boxes of automatic gates. Which end does it plug into on the actual camera itself and will Milestone pick this up as an output? I've figured out how to add a button to the camera display screens (that's the simple bit!) Many thanks in advance Jack

I don't like them periods at the end... I will give your suggestions a go - many thanks!

If anyone needs the latest firmware for IPC-HF cameras, PAL, let me know, I have them. Full support for all browsers I think.

Hi guys, So I've downloaded and uploaded the latest firmware to the camera, still switching from 5MP to 3MP sometimes, then back to SXGA. I was wondering if it could be anything to do with the network cable being wired incorrectly? Could it not be able to cope with the 5MP bandwidth and is instead lowering the resolution? Many thanks! Jack

For me? If so, that's very kind of you! Thank you very much.. If not, I feel totally embarrassed!

What are these guys thinking? Hello MaxIcon - many many thanks for posting this! If you were me, would you download this from that site? Would you trust it? I don't want to brick the camera

Hi there guys I was wondering if anyone had firmware for IPC-HF3500. I'm having major problems with it changing resolution constantly. I would be so grateful if someone could provide it to me. Many thanks Jack

Hello there cctv, many thanks for your help! Would you have any idea where I can get the firmware for IPC-HF3500? I looked at the support section on the Dahua website but they are saying that they don't provide support for firmware downloads. Many thanks Jack

Hi there Dexter, many thanks for your reply. I have been using Chrome, however tried using Internet Explorer and the same thing. I have an IPC-HDB3300 and changed it to 3MP and it is switching back to 1080 after a few seconds as well :S Any help would be appreciated Cheers Jack

set cam to 5fps and it should stay. Hello Tom, thanks for your continued help, appreciate it. I changed it to 5fps, went to SXGA again and this is what the log said: Detailed Information Time:2013-06-01 21:11:15 User Name: admin Type: Save Configuration Name:Encode Content: AudioEnable : Open->Close Bit rate : 224->2048 Frame rate(FPS) : 8->15 I Frame Interval : 16->30 Image Quality : Better->Good Resolution : CIF->D1

Hi guys, thanks for your help. Still no solution found, but here is what happens immediately after I change to 5 MP.

Hello there Tom, thanks for your reply. I switched it back to some 5MP settings two days ago and randomly (didn't touch anything) today it changed back to the SXGA quality. Here's the settings I have set it at and it is now switching back after a few seconds. Cheers Jack

Hello there Tom, Thanks for this. If I was to use 5MP, what would the best settings be? And any idea why this is happening? Thanks Jack

Hi guys, I have a Dahua IPC-HF3500 camera and it keeps switching back to SVGA quality, even when I change it to 3MP/5MP. It worked for the first few weeks but then it changed to this quality which is awful. I did install NVR software on another computer, but have closed down the software on all clients and accessed it via a web browser but it switches after 30 seconds or so when I save the settings for 3MP / 5MP. Appreciate your help Jack
