    SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch

    Yes I have 10 dahua cameras but they are all on the legacy UI/API so the command is VideoInMode (if I recall correctly)

    SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch

    It does say OK when I post the command but no change - this is the only camera i have on this new GUI/API

    SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch

    Unfortunately no dice with that command either

    SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch

    Not your bad at all! I was tinkering around with the API over the last 3 days using various commands I found in the forums and just hope I didn't accidentally mess up configs. I did do a factory reset though so I imagine all of that tinkering was reversed. If anybody else has gotten into this...

    SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch

    I didn't find that thread in my searches, but it doesn't seem to work either. If you have a chance to test it on this camera and it works for you let me know because then I'll really have to do some further trouble shooting!

    SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch

    Hey all - Okay - I give up and need to make a post - I have scoured through past posts for the past 3 days to try to figure out how to manually trigger the SD4A425DB-HNY between Day/Night mode from BI via web command. I have read that some have had success using...

    Vacant home: cameras or security system?

    Sounds to me like you have more than enough reason to get surveillance & alarm installed ASAP - seems like you've already got some shadiness scoping it out

    Vacant home: cameras or security system?

    Also I would recommend throwing a handful of smart switches/plugs in there and put some lamps on random/night time timers

    Burnt PoE Pins on Camera & Cable?

    Ahh that also makes sense, didn't think of that!

    Burnt PoE Pins on Camera & Cable?

    Thinking about this a little more - can you inspect the Cat5/Cat6 cable for any knicks/damage? I am wondering if a knick in the cable formed a connection between pins 4&3 and moisture shorted 3 to 2, perhaps a sequence of unfortunate events.

    Burnt PoE Pins on Camera & Cable?

    It is likely moisture, though I wouldn't expect to see a short across those pins. I always opt for dielectric grease and then give the waterproof housing a good wrap w/ silicon tape. The silicon tape is amazing stuff and self fuses to make a 'custom' waterproof enclosure around the connector

    Buried Cat5 to front of driveway

    I would think it would be okay next to the pipe, my main concern is that these sprinkler systems do experience a lot of water hammer and over time the small vibrations could wear down the ethernet. You definitely need to use direct burial rated cable and I think you should consider using 5e or...

    Forward call from door bell station to Ip Phone

    This is a cool idea - 3 minutes seems like an incredibly long time. I personally would wait at no door for 3 minutes and your customer is likely going to get a lot of calls where the doorbell ringer has already left

    Should i renew Blue Iris or move to Scrypted?

    Ahh yes good old elasticity of demand!

    Help me piece out a system

    I started my journey by living in the wiki - I would suggest reading through the cliff notes - click every single link, read every single word. It's a lot, but by the time you come out of the wiki you'll come into the forum with a much much much better understanding of the questions you should...

    Best Multiport USB Charging Station?

    Anker is solid - I am not sure if that will meet your charging needs (that does 45 from USBc and 20 from the USB-A's) https://www.anker.com/products/a2123?variant=37436925477014&ref=collectionBuy The 360 will charge all ports @60 watts simultaneously

    Best Multiport USB Charging Station?

    What is your max wattage draw per port? If you're looking for 100W you're asking for a 1kW charging station which is unlikely to exist - Anker is my go to for chargers, have a look at their site

    Best way to capture video at the corner of a building

    Hi there - There's no real scientific answer to this - there are tons of variables that could change camera placement so each scenario could theoretically be the 'best' for each different application. If you had a rectangular building you could get full coverage with 2 cameras on each corner...

    one of my PTZ cams started doing the same thing and I could not figure out how to turn it off :smash:

    Junction box ethernet grommet?

    Awesome, great post - thank you very much!

    Junction box ethernet grommet?

    Oh I like this idea even better, would you be able to link a tap set that would work for this? I've always wanted to get into tapping but never really took the plunge

    Junction box ethernet grommet?

    I think the grommet is supposed to be used on the face plate where the camera mounts and the cameras wires pass through it? I could be wrong though

    Junction box ethernet grommet?

    I use this exact gland: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NQVBN1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then I drill a 5/8" hole through one of the plastic caps that comes with the junction box (or if using a plastic JB you just drill into the box itself) and screw in the gland...

    Just took another look but doesn't seem to be the same dog - the guy looks very very similar though

    "I want 2.8mm cameras everywhere to see everything..." - This is why you need specific FOVs with purposeful focal lengths.

    Great post @Ri22o - we always appreciate your contributions around here :)
