    Where are you? I'm up in the panhandle (PCB).

    Is blocking the internet secure enough?

    Block them from connecting to the internet and putting them on their own VLAN is normally sufficient. You can block inter vlan routing for that vlan and see if you can still access them. That would further insulate that vlan from the rest of your network.

    ONVIF - Only Certain Areas & Alert Types

    Well your settings look close to mine except I use intrusion boxes. You might try deleting the cam from BI and then re-adding it.

    ONVIF - Only Certain Areas & Alert Types

    Yes. I wouldnt own them if they couldn’t. I use one exclusively for alerting me to people walking onto my driveway.

    Starlights with strange IP address

    Yes. I've never seen an issue with Dahua cams like you are having unfortunately.

    ONVIF - Only Certain Areas & Alert Types

    There are 3 different places you have to enable ONVIF in BI. Your pics in post #5 and #7 are two of them. You also need to go to the camera Alert tab and select for When "This camera is triggered" for alerts from ONVIF events. Also, back on the Trigger tab, when you hit the Configure button...

    Excessive CPU load with newer versions than 5.8.6.7 version of BI

    If you go down to D1 on your sub streams you will see a massive improvement. If you are running your substeams at 1MP/2MP then why have substreams turned on at all? Might as well disable them and just use a single stream.

    Weird case of infrared reflection

    It's been a while since I took one of these apart but is there no foam ring built into the dome either?

    Weird case of infrared reflection

    Gonna be tiny dust motes on the inside of the dome. You'd have to take it down, take the dome off, and clean it with a lint free cloth.

    Vlan question for many cameras.

    The physical media doesn't matter. One single cable can carry thousands/millions of VLANs. It's a limitation of the switch not the cable itself. For an AP, you assigned VLANs to the SSIDs. So you would have SSID "abc" on VLAN 1 and SSID "xyz" on VLAN 2. The switch port that AP connects to...

    Weird case of infrared reflection

    It’s dust/junk in the dome. I used to have those cameras years ago. Switched them all out for Dahua 5442s.

    Starlights with strange IP address

    Id try and reset them again. I’ve never seen a default Dahua cam that didn’t present the “choose your country” and ”create a password” boxes upon initial login.

    Starlights with strange IP address

    Where were these purchased? Factory reset Dahua cams will present you with the country/date page when connected to them via a browser and not a login screen. Sounds like they are not factory new cams.

    IR lights are flickering at night; tried but can't fix it

    Smart Ir has issues with older cams. You have something reflecting and it’s trying adjust the IR emitters to compensate. Could be bugs or anything

    Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?

    Its click bait since it Isn’t clear. I saw it the opposite.

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    No reputable member here posted anything to the sort of “default camera values work fine for LPR”. Id challenge you to find a post saying otherwise… You have plenty of information now on proper settings. You have been asked to show us your camera settings. Come back when you have done this so...

    Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?

    It’s total click bait to say wire nuts are a “hazard”. They are the gold standard of wire splicing and have been for decades. Anything can be a hazard if done incorrectly. I refuse to watch a video that is that misleading right from the thumbnail.

    IR lights are flickering at night; tried but can't fix it

    Turn off Smart/auto IR and set manual illumination to 50% or so. See if that makes a difference.

    Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?

    I’ve used them. They are fine but way more expensive that traditional wire nuts.

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Post all of your night time camera settings. Screen shot them and drag them here so we can see them. DID I read correctly above that you said you are using default settings? If so, that is your problem.

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    The only fix for color at night is more lighting. As in, massive amounts of lighting. You won't be able to provide that much light in a neighborhood without drawing attention to your self. Forget about running color at night... I can't get those imgur photos to load full size. You don't...

    public website return private ip

    That domain name also resolves to a private IP address for me. It isn’t routable on the internet since it’s in the class A 10.0.0.0/8 range. Whoever set up the DNS for that address/domain screwed that up.

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    Screen caps of UI3 are always going to be lossy. UI3 is lossy. You need to download the clip and play It back via VLC or similar to get the full resolution your cam captured the video in.

    Help with initialisation of empiretech cameras?

    I prefer to just temporarily change my computer address over installing and using the config tool. It's simple and takes 10 seconds. I really don't want to install any Dahua software on my computer that isn't really needed. YMMV

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    You have to have very bright conditions to run color at night. I can do it for my business parking lot, but it's also bathed in very intense LED parking lot lighting from multiple directions. For my home, I run my LPR in BW.

    Help with initialisation of empiretech cameras?

    As @bigredfish says, you need to reach the cam on 192.168.1.108. I always temporarily change the IP on my working computer to an address on the same subnet of the camera (192.168.1.x). Then I connect to the camera and configure it's IP address to my network and then set set my desktop back to...

    Does BI still need intel quick sync?
