    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Interesting, what are your exposure settings set to? It's possible that mine are just too quick for the setting/lighting available and still ends up bouncing back and forth. It does seem like the "Sensitivity" setting is persisted when switching back to the Day/Night Switch, however, it doesn't...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Unless there are any other thoughts/suggestions regarding this issue on the newer cameras/firmware, I think I may end up writing a new Windows service that works with the newer cameras/API to solve this problem. Additionally, as I understand it the Color-4k cameras don't even have the Day/Night...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Reloaded in IE mode and same results. Thanks @wittaj, this is what I had done initially but noticed it wasn't actually working. When I log back into the camera after following the above steps the settings have reverted to Auto and are disabled. Wondering if maybe this is a bug with the latest...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    After playing around with the settings the last few nights I am still having the same "bouncing" issue at dawn and at dusk. I tried the above but it appears that those settings are greyed out when the Day/Night Switch setting is enabled. If I change that setting to something else like...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    I am using manual for both, these are the current settings for the camera that was bouncing back and forth: Although, maybe it was just bouncing back and forth between color and B&W, not sure if you can tell whether its switching profiles or just between color and B&W. But either way would be...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Awesome, thanks! I tried this out on one of my cameras last night and it seemed to bounce back and forth at dusk, not sure if there is a way to configure/adjust that at all. For my IPC-Color4K-T180 I noticed this same day/night switch setting is not available. What is my best bet for this...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Hey everyone, I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum both old and newer threads and just when I think I've got it I get confused again. Short version: I have the new Dahua cameras but am confused about the best way to switch between day and night profiles. Should I Use the Day/Night...

    PFB203W Bracket Waterproof?

    Okay cool, that's what I was thinking about using to cover the holes. I learned about that stuff on this forum initially and absolutely love it!

    PFB203W Bracket Waterproof?

    Thanks everyone! Will make extra sure that all the connections are waterproofed inside the bracket. Just wanted to make sure there was no concern with water getting up through that hole into the housing and it sounds like its not really an issue as long as everything else is weatherproofed...

    PFB203W Bracket Waterproof?

    Thanks @mat200, that makes sense! That covers the connection of the bracket to the wall, but do I also need to be concerned at all with the big hole in the bracket where the camera wires go in to the housing through the top? Since it seems like that will be pretty much open/exposed to the...

    PFB203W Bracket Waterproof?

    Hey guys, I am installing a new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE) on the side of my house looking down the side yard and was planning on using the PFB203W. Where I would be installing it is actually on the exterior side of my garage wall so I'm planning on drilling a hole through the cinderblock and...

    Front porch camera/conduit/junction box installation questions

    That's been my experience so far too, several years ago before we had a fence we had a guy try to get in through the back door but since putting up the fence no one has hopped it yet. Here are some head shots, still new to this but I think these are good? For some reason people like making...

    Front porch camera/conduit/junction box installation questions

    Here are a couple of screenshots. At night there is almost too much light from street lights/garage lights and it kinda washes part of the video out. Same in the day, depending on where the light is coming from half the feed gets washed out. These are still default image settings so I need to...

    Front porch camera/conduit/junction box installation questions

    Thanks again everyone for the help! Thought I'd just follow up with a picture of how everything turned out. I'd say the camera is not in the "perfect" location but given the limitations and options I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out!
