I was excited to hear version 5 was out but the new features wasn't that compelling. My wish list was to get the openalpr incorporated into the product. Would definitely buy it in a heartbeat if that happened.

I fixed mine permanently by taking it apart, wiping it dry, cleaning the lense and I used tons of clear silicone to seal every hole imaginable. Make sure you buy quality seal that last decades and is sun/crack proof. No problem since then and it's been through crazy storms, baking heat and all...

Hello All, I have the Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 which I purchased from Andy, Empire Technology less than a year ago. We've had solid rain in our area for 3 days straight. I noticed there's water inside the lens. It's causing the image to be blurry and I can no longer read license plate. Is this...

Where did you get that for $150?

I ended up using BIcommand. I found JSON was crashing on some Windows 10 machine and it's also slower than BIcommand.

Just install openalpr-latest.exe on Windows. Once you do that, it creates a WIndows service. Open the app and sign in with your account. On OpenALPR website, you configure the agent that you just installed and specify your camera stream by adding a camera.

Hello All, I have the SD49225T-HN and I haven't had this camera for more than a month and just a day ago, the screen turned all white. Camera was still responsive and I can still control it, go to presets, etc, but could not see anything, just all white. It seems to have happened when it...

Go to Ptz move to preset when triggered by another camera ? Second from last post by SyconsiousAU

I just use the camera idle timeout and set it to 1 minute of inactivity and it will go to the preset I want.

I have the Z5 and it's working great for me. I may get the Z12 just to play with it and see what's the difference. I think the Z5 may have a wider FOV than the Z12 but in my street, the Z5 is working good and FOV is good for both incoming/outgoing traffic. Z12 has a better zoom but I'm unsure...

Bernie, what camera do you have for the LPR?

This is awesome. I'm using this technique as a poor man's Auto Tracking. I have a handful of fixed cameras around my property and I use them all to have them move the PTZ to their position once these fixed cameras detection motion. I have the Dahua SD49225T-HN PTZ and it's working pretty...

Thanks ibrouting. I'm going the setup FileZilla server or another that BI will support. This way BI will quiesce what it needs to do and hopefully I'll save some cpu cycles rather than installing another software. I'm running on a i5 laptop and cpu is scarce at the moment. I'll look into...

I'll answer my own question. I contacted BI support and they said they do not support SFTP. What I intend to do now is to install bitorrent sync and upload the pictures that way or setup a FTP server in which BI supports. I wonder which method will consume less CPU as we all know BI consumes...

I've ordered these, which are bullets that are sub $100.. HFW4431K-16 and IPC-HFW4431R-Z. They work great for outdoor but would look ugly indoor. I'm looking to replace my cheap Airlink and Foscam garbage. Perhaps 1 good indoor cam to record bad guys in case they break in. My exterior house...
