    False car alarms.

    To be honest, I am not sure why they were trying to setup IVS for Vehicles anyway. Then as you pointed out having it appear isn't a good idea when the area to be protected is covered in vehicles lol.. Now it might be that the camera detects the vehicle in appear after maybe an Alarm has gone off...

    Camera won't connect to Blue Iris

    Looking at the camera and NVR that it normally pairs with from Zosi it seems that isn't ONVIF and seeing there is nothing in the manual or web that mentions a WebUI only says App and App for desktop so sounds like it is software driven and they want it to work with their own products.. From what...

    False car alarms.

    What is really interesting is using a Lite NVR and a 8mp camera in an area that is over sized for the cameras best area of interest.. That area needs at least 3 cameras if not 4 with 1 being a Quality PTZ if you want to be able to keep an eye on that.. 1 Ai camera with small sensor with high MP...

    Camera and NVR suggestions?

    You will want to look over the cameras and make sure that they do in fact work with White LEDS at night and not only for like an alarm.. There are some cameras out there that may have 1 led for IR and one for WL, Some of them drive the End user crazy trying to make it turn on the white led for...

    Alarm Output on Camera

    Won't need relay if the siren you will connect to is able to work with 12v at or below 300ma.. if you want to drive a high current device then powered siren that works with wet contact input or would need external relay with 12 power supply.. if you have siren already you can test the current...

    Empiretech NVR8CH-8P-2AI Browser GUI only 4 cameras?

    I personally have tried everything to get it to work in Mint 21 and thought I had it using palemoon because the webplugin acted like it installed. However looking in the plugin area there was none and still couldn't get it to work. it is a shame really. I have tried sea monkey and both just...

    Where are the Convert / export files going?

    So I found that the place is touchy lol. I would look in your Download folder that was the default and might be that you touched something that exported it there. I did 3 to the DL folder and then did one to my own folder that I use for BI backup already..

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    If you need closer focus capability, a lens with a shorter focal length (wider field of view) is more important than just a lower f-number F/1.0 would have better ability at low light then say a 1.6 or 2.0. Would want to find a camera with a good mm like 2.8 to 4mm at f/1 would have in most...

    Using ethernet splitter for two cameras

    What is the camera are you trying to power with it. Output you said you were connecting to says 15w max and the second port says 8w max. If you are trying to power a POE+ camera it will not work.

    Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)

    NO no I don't mean show that you get emails, I am asking if your events went to email.. Sorry I don't type to well sometimes if I don't read over what I type and correct my self lol

    Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)

    yeah you don't need SMD if your IVS is working well enough. Just setup motion and setup not to record the motion events, This is if you have setup to NVR and record full time anyway.. Then you can still pull in the events in playback if you have that ability in the NVR if not then just use IVS...

    Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)

    OK so tripwire with crossline.. I don't know if you get email and if you have the dual per event but in the current as i look at it if you do get email you will get 4 emails per vehicle going by if that was an option you asked for.. Foe me in my zones I leave enough room for camera to capture...

    Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)

    Sorry didn't notice, Thought I would ask, Is your IVS setup for Cross or Appear? This an Intrusion or Tripwire? Not writing a book just asking.

    Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)

    Just asking? Do you have any detection zones setup in Bi? I mean I see you have it setup for trigger as if you setup zones so I am just wondering how you are getting alerts outside of ONVIF?

    Alibi NVR not able to retain settings?

    Also as an update, Not sure why it would reject and change for any other reason however here is my NTP log as it ran. I do normally have it setup to update every 12 hours but changed it to every 5 min so I could get some data from the NTP server and the NVR is at 10.0.0.96 so this data is from...

    Alibi NVR not able to retain settings?

    So I am wondering if anyone has any issues with their Alibi NVRs having any issues with retaining settings? So to better understand what I am dealing with. Alibi Vigilant 16Ch POE NVR that after I setup NTP server and DST so my NVR and Cameras can retain the correct time. Within a few days and...

    T54 external alarm

    4pin 12v Bosch style relay.. The issue with a POE splitter is that it takes the POE and gives you only Ethernet and 12v so you would then need a 12v Y as well and power the camera on 12v as well if you went that route. Could use a 5pin and just cap off 87a Either way did a rough draft of a...

    T54 external alarm

    Ok to be honest, There are a few different things that might be going on. With that one I looked at the full listing and it does say will work with 320ma. Where yours is only 300ma not sure it would work.. However in case that kind tells me a few different things. One that the system only...

    T54 external alarm

    Your Camera as you say is only able to run about 3.6w and that siren is 15w or same as 1.25amps. so that would require you to use your output to work with another relay that has more then say 120 Ohms relay coil.. If it is 40 Ohms it might be able to drive it but could be not reliable so you...

    Alert Tab AI

    Thank you. I personally don't know much about Bi.. One of them things I don't look at often. Funny thing is had an App alert today while I was off my local network but never get any alerts while on my LAN? Oh well.. Yeah I have the Bi Phone app.. Don't look at it much either lol. But oh well...

    IP camera on analog dvr

    To answer in short No.. If the DVR don't offer any IP channels because it is older and don't support tech then you will need to buy a Metrix converter and the cost for 2 even 4 cameras cost more then most people are willing to pay.. Plus can get used NVR for less most times.. Then the question...

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    Yeah OK found the right one that has the right sensor.. TO the OP just keep in mind when you are looking up your cameras.. It can be tricky to find good cameras at times.. Here is a Datasheet for the 1./1.8in 3449... IT is much better camera...

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    Thought the 2449 was the Pro version? What I know of the 3449 and looking it up says it has smaller sensor? I mean maybe I didn't look at the right pro version? https://material.dahuasecurity.com/uploads/cpq/prm-os-srv-res/smart/datasheetzipfiles/IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV_datasheet_20210113.pdf Off...

    Alert Tab AI

    So removed the camera and added it back and it is back online, I will have to let it trigger again and then disable the Ai.. The Ai and all the boxes were checked when I added it back so this time didn't have to add it. Not sure if that was off all my others already have it added so it just...

I rebooted the Bi computer and still showing offline Grrrrr.. Even after clicking the Ai and trying to see if that would...

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    Link to camera is 4mp with color night white led, I have both types. Color cameras with white leds and dual light. However some cameras with dual light don't always work the way I want them all the time.

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    Would need more info about the camera. However most real Dual Light cameras will work correctly. That is the camera is in IR until there is an Event and then the camera will go from IR to White Leds and record the event in full color at night.. Some cameras that have extra options can be setup...

    The Real Truth of SMD as I See It

    I never said IVS wasn’t a great tool, I simply pointed out that SMD has its own benefits that are often dismissed. This thread was meant to help people see that and decide for themselves how to best use the tools available to them. If some took it as an attack, that was never the intent. Either...
