    Best Dash Camera 2024

    I wrote to Viofo support and suggested a new market for them in backup/rear view cams. The priorities shift a bit with the need for a larger 5" or more monitor and a camera rated for outdoor use.

    Best Dash Camera 2024

    Has anyone tried a dash cam for their RV? I installed a backup cam years ago and from the git go the image was pretty bad, especially at night. In fact at night I usually turn the monitor off because the glare is so bright it destroys my night vision, nothing like our home cams. I think the main...

    Full time Rear View Trailer Cam Suggestions

    Im trying this in the Dash Cam forum, seems closest to my question. We tow a 22' trailer and I have a relatively inexpensive rear view wireless camera mounted top center so I can see what's behind me and whether any cars are about ready to pass while I"m changing lanes, it provides a good sense...

    Tailscale user help needed

    Thank you Flintstone. I went to Web Server, changed the LAN address to a previous one, checked "bind exclusively" and hit OK. Then I went to the BI phone app, "Get IPS", it brought in the "new" (or is it old?) IP address same as on Web Server, hit Save, then Connect, and it loaded. I then...

    Tailscale user help needed

    Looking for Tailscale users please. TS used to work for me but doesn't anymore for some reason, so I'm trying to troubleshoot and I don't understand this very well. I am no longer able to access anything BI from my phone. I have 2 "machines" in my TS, one is my BI server and the other my...

    If you mean stop it from doing a "tour" or "scan" you've set up, then that's from the Dahua GUI / PTZ / Function / Tour or Scan, then delete it.

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    I haven't gone back to try again, been busy in retirement:-). Not sure I can answer with a lot of tech background but here's what I've seen. When I installed ZT I had to tell it what my "nodes" (devices) were, especially my BI PC. Part of ZTs security is reassigning that PC with another very...

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    Yes, and I forgot to mention I'm using Firefox although I could also use Chrome or Pale Moon. So UI3 (from GitHub) doesn't need to be loaded on the remote PC in my den, which is on the network? ZeroTier assigns a new IP to the BI PC; for example, from my phone while on WiFi or not, the LAN...

    Group Auto-Cycle

    Edit 4/9/2024: Revised screen shots and explanation after learning more. SOLVED Here are the settings I found that do what I needed, which is to alternately display one group, then another, in an auto-cycle. From this view, select the circled gear icon to bring up the group settings for that...

    Group Auto-Cycle

    I've read the manual about group auto-cycle, but I may be mis-interpreting what that means. Here's what I'd like to do if it's possible to do it. I have 4 cameras for the front of our house and defined as a group called "Front of House" - very original, I know. I have another 4 cameras in a...

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    Need some help installing UI3 on one of my desktop PCs running Windows 7 Pro. This is a separate computer in my office NOT containing my dedicated BI system. I use ZeroTier, which is probably irrelevant at this point, but I've tried entering the LAN IP in my BI phone app (IP created by ZT)...

    Night of Fluffy Clouds

    Very nice, thanks for sharing! I saw your other YT of Orion and the satellite. I have an IPC-B52IR-z12-s2 coming soon and I'll have to try some stargazing at the 12x (60mm) "telescope" setting. My real telescope is a 10" f/5.6 tracking split C-ring Dobsonian I made a long time ago, but never...

    Where to find scripts for PTZ "On Call"

    To close out and answer my first question "Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself": Answer: In the BI Manual, go...

    Where to find scripts for PTZ "On Call"

    For your Part 1, maybe I didn't say it very well but that varifocal doesn't have presets in the GUI like my PTZs do, so not an option, maybe to avoid unintended abuse. I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.
