    Skyline + Wildlife camera set up

    Well I think you can change a lot of things through the API - I haven't looked that deep into color settings but it could be something where you trigger a PTZ preset move, set color, and done. It would be pretty easy to do. But keeping settings for every preset sounds silly lol.

    Skyline + Wildlife camera set up

    Yup! It's actually a couple of miles away. The various PTZ preset stops in the sweep are where I typically see animals in hopes frigate will pick up their motion and track em. Trying to get the focus to be a bit better in some of these zones. I could in theory also change color settings for each...

    Skyline + Wildlife camera set up

    Yeah it's been a bit challenging to get the colors dialed, especially since we had been under a blanket of smoke recently so haven't had ideal conditions to get any of the colors tweaked. It's pretty close to being color matched with what the eyes see vs. being too bright, at least in the...

    Skyline + Wildlife camera set up

    Followed! So I ended up skipping OBS for a couple of reasons : 1) there seems to be some performance issues with it running on the Mac Mini. I was getting all sorts of stalling with my stream, and it wouldn't even decode 4K with the hardware encoder (it works fine with ffmpeg). 2) I am...

    Skyline + Wildlife camera set up

    I just wanted to follow up my original post here: Wildlife / skyline camera for extreme conditions as to what I ended up doing for my project. First and foremost thanks to @EMPIRETECANDY in getting me squared away with getting the camera shipped and up and running. Also thanks to the input from...

    SD8C845FG-HNF showing pink spot when zoomed in all the way

    Did you ever figure this out? Mine has it as well. I think it might be from the outside cover + zoomed lens but not sure.

    Wildlife / skyline camera for extreme conditions

    Thanks! It really is - we don't rent it out unfortunately as we spend a lot of time up here!

    Wildlife / skyline camera for extreme conditions

    Finally got this up and running with a suitable set configuration. The only issue I am having is some color changing that I am not really sure I am going to get ironed out but had hoped if someone could take a look at what the camera is doing as it swings and some of the extreme changes in color...

    IVS question / issue

    Thanks! Lots of interesting wildlife back here as well as ridiculous skyline events and night sky (northern lights, etc)

    IVS question / issue

    Not sure to be honest. I was watching one of the empire tech videos online that said turning it off would allow it to pick animals up (but must not for this camera). I assume there should be some awareness of a generic object that is moving across a plane? Not sure.

    IVS question / issue

    @ 15:06 camera time stamp (test stream for now). Really want to train it to track these ;-)

    IVS question / issue

    I can unselect Human or Vehicle one at a time, or have them both selected. My understanding that being able to flip Target Filter off would let the IVS rule pick up other objects, but appears to not be supported in this camera's firmware (unless there are some pre-reqs I haven't set up yet). I...

    IVS question / issue

    Doh - that stinks (thought it was possible). I assume the new firmware question would be for Andy?

    IVS question / issue

    Do you know if it's a bug where it works sometimes? Or is this an always-greyed out case? Would you happen to know if I could use something like a virtual fence or another IVS type of rule as a workaround for now?

    IVS question / issue

    Hey folks - I finally have my PTZ4K45X-AI installed and working on getting it ready for my project. I've come across a stumbling block when I've set up my IVS rule which is perplexing, but I am also new to this. I've drawn tripwires and I want to disable the target filter so it's not tracking...
