    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    @Cor K Dikland If you are asking about your screenshot, that is your Dahua camera web UI. Open a browser and goto your camera IP address, login. You should be able to find that screen.

    Subdivision Monitoring - Smallest Viable System Recommendations

    @nicpottier For overview, go with something better than the 2MP. Right now, any Dahua cam with 4MP 1/1.8" lens is the best all around performer. See @CaptainCrunch links. And don't skimp on hard drive, 2TB is small by today standard. Get the largest you can afford. Make sure it's...

    Subdivision Monitoring - Smallest Viable System Recommendations

    @nicpotter BTW, you might be thinking of only setting up Z12E at this time, but later you may realize that you need 2 Z12E, to point in opposite directions. Because some cars may not have front license plates.

    Subdivision Monitoring - Smallest Viable System Recommendations

    Yes, IVS should work if properly configured and you should record 24/7 with NVR. There is alot of details around getting good images of license plates, especially at night. Check out other threads specifically on ALPR/ANPR. P.S. You may not think you need ALPR/ANPR at this time but it's...

    Subdivision Monitoring - Smallest Viable System Recommendations

    @nicpottier Z12E will capture the video but you'll need NVR with ANPR or BlueIris with CodeProject.AI to read the license plates (i.e. do OCR on license plate image to pull out plate text) and make searchable. Here is an NVR with ANPR EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI 8 Channels 1U 8PoE 2HDD Network...

    Subdivision Monitoring - Smallest Viable System Recommendations

    @nicpottier I do not think @garycrist post was snarky. I agree with him that your initial budget is way too low. Best to buy quality than go cheap. Many of us have started with cheap or low quality and had to start again with the right quality cameras. Z12E is an excellent choice. Go...

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    @carteriii Since thermal cameras are so good at detecting things from far away, I can see using them as a way to trigger more lights at night so if the intruder comes closer, all the other cameras have sufficient lighting to capture the best images.

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    @carteriii Are you going to train a custom model using your thermal images?

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    @Perplexed Yes, offloading to GPU is going to eliminate AI burden on your CPU. I personally have Nvidia GTX 1650 because it's still "recent" enough but low power --- running 24x7 on my BI5 Optiplex with original power supply. Make sure to get at least 4GB RAM on Nvidia card to support the...

    2023 best Blue Iris compatible Door bell (non-POE)

    @Michael James Yes, you have to use the chime that comes with the Reolink if you want a chime. Hopefully, you're not too attached to your existing chime. The new chime can be plugged in somewhere more convenient to hear (within radio range).

    2023 best Blue Iris compatible Door bell (non-POE)

    Reolink doorbell is the popular choice at the moment. The wifi version will take power from existing doorbell transformer, will work with Blue Iris and Home Assistant, very good local solution if you hate cloud-based products. The Amazon link to wifi version is...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    @TonyR Initially, I tilted my Reolink down but realized the benefit of a slight tilt up --- which is a higher chance of catching face image when person is right in front of the door. The Reolink is mounted at 4ft height. I have another camera for packages.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    @Amgclk65 Yes, I only run 1 custom model like ipcam-general. If you turn off the default object detection as shown in the screenshot you can reduce workload on CP.AI

    Camera placement

    @badandy996 I have both and my preference is 5442 as better overall camera. The extra pixels with 4k is tempting on paper but not as much as a factor in my real world situation.

    Camera placement

    As a phase 2, add some cameras to monitor the street behind your backyard. I can't tell how high your back fence wall is and whether it's climbable. Because the threat can come from that direction.

    Outdoor camera - recommendations?

    @pms Turrets can be mounted directly to wall or soffit if desired. The key is if your hole is big enough (1 1/8" minimum) so you can shove the cables back into the wall. If not possible to hide cables in the wall, then a wall mount bracket can be used.

    Reolink doorbell, Blue iris and CPAI

    @XativaDavid "marked as vehicle" is to add vehicle icon to event. That is not enough. Please make sure it is specified in "To confirm" also. Depending on the custom model you use, these are the labels available to specify: GitHub - MikeLud/CodeProject.AI-Custom-IPcam-Models

    Reolink doorbell, Blue iris and CPAI

    @XativaDavid Look at your AI configs again, the AI details screenshot identifies a "car". That is NOT in your list of "To confirm" objects. IMHO, your AI settings is suboptimal because you have specified multiple custom models and using default object detection as well. Normally, use 1...

    Outdoor camera - recommendations?

    @pms can you elaborate what you mean by "privacy/neighour aspects, the bullet still has an argument."? are you saying this versus a turret? If a camera is listed as POE, it's can get power + data via 1 ethernet cable. You can use a POE switch to connect to these cams.
