IR Control via BI instead of Hikvision Camera
- Thread starter Vini
- Start date
If I set it to Day/Night, do I not run the risk, of the "Camera" thinking it is still Day, even after BI has turned LEDs off (and the camera then turns the LEDs on again?)
Not sure what happened to the attachment.
Anyway, I'd give it shot, it'll either work or not, no harm done...set the camera"s "Day/Night" from "Auto" to "Day" and then 'Save", hopefully BI will control the LEDs.

Have changed one Cam to 'day' and the others to Auto.
I'm wondering if the camera 'knows' its been triggered by an external source and just ignores its inbuilt config... we'll see I guess
Seems to be fine. However, doing it this way, seems to ignore/nuke the BLC settings on the cameras.
Any ideas how I might be able to retain BLC config from the camera, and/or pass those variables via Blue Iris? On a couple of my cameras I have the BLC offset to oneside to increase brightness in darker areas.

I'm still using this curl method, you can check out the post and see what you think:
Different settings to the Hik cams at sunrise/sunset using Blue Iris event schedule
As you know you can use Blue Iris event schedule to adjust brightness and few other settings to match with sunrise/sunset. Unfortunately you can not adjust WDR or noise reduction. Probably there is many ways to adjust those settings - here is one quite simple: 1. Install curl...
