    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Took a look at the camera and have IVS rules 3,4,5,6 (all tripwire) set for both human and vehicle. Will add IVS rule 7 as a tripwire and only set the target filter to human. That was the part that I was missing. Will take a look at the PTZ "ONVIF Events" in the "Listen For" box and see if...

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Did try the clone approach. However, there is no way that I have found, to add a second set of IVS target filter rules to a cloned 5242 Dahua camera. That would be a nice plus for sure. Thus the clone would only target humans and move the PTZ to preset 2. At present, there appears to be no...

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Will have to put this project to bed and wait for the BI update that will facilitate the desired scenario. Thought that the "Listen For" box would have possibilities but that is not the case. Yes, a second cam only set for humans as a spotter would work. However, the person hosting the camera...

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    The IVS target filters for the spotter cam (cul-de-sac) are set to trigger on both vehicles and humans and to record both of these actions. The PTZ IVS target filters are set to trigger only on humans and record and follow when triggered with two presets. One being a wide view (preset 1)...

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Give the ideas a try and no joy. Did not use a clone camera. Did use the PTZ and spotter camera to move the PTZ to the correct preset when triggered by the spotter. Setup the PTZ with IVS target filter for humans and the spotter IVS target filter for both humans and vehicle. Used the...

    What PTZ IP camera to buy?

    Depending on your overall needs a 4 meg camera with a 1/2.8 sensor will not work well in low light night conditions. Indoors a dome will work fine, but outside it should not be considered. Have been using the Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR PTZ with excellent night results as it is 1/1.8 at 4 megs camera...

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Good to see that there is activity on the issue. It takes time to solve all of the problems. Will be looking forward to implementation when it is ready for prime time. No rush.

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Glad to hear that BI will have this capability sometime in the future. Any guess as to when this new feature will roll out? In the meantime, will deactivate the use of the spotter cam until this new feature is made available. Thanks for the heads up....

    Separate IVS Rules for Cloned Spotter Camera - Is it possible?

    Using BI (5.7.7.18) with a Dahua PTZ and a Dahua spotter (5242) cam. The PTZ Web 5 camera IVS rules are set for people detection only. The spotter IVS camera rules (Web 4) are set for both people and vehicle. When the spotter cam triggers, the PTZ zooms into the end of the street and follows...

    All Alerts Today disappeared, also not alerting new ones

    Had a similar issue this week with BI (5.7.7.18). Timeline had no tick marks and no alerts which effected all of the BI cameras. However, the cameras were all recording, but when manually triggered would not display a timeline orange tick mark. In my case, the shield displayed in the top task...

    Comca$$ and other ISPs asked FCC to ditch listing-every-fee rule. FCC says "no."

    Yes, it will be nice to see them go away. Our local ISP will now start to charge for email that was included in the monthly service charge. i.e. free They say "Due to the increasing complexity of maintaining the email service...." Now they want $5 per month for a service that they could...

    Swiveling panoramic camera

    The Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR (PTZ5A4M-25X) PTZ camera will work as illustrated in your live feeds. Cost in the range of $750 USD. Check with Andy (kingsecurity2014@163.com) for availability and current price. The issue with a PTZ, on tour or using presets, is that the camera will have a limited...

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    Only one month at a time changes which changes daily based on LUX readings at sunrise and sunset. My default is "day" for all unused months as it is an unimportant setting. The goal was to find a way to switch the Web 5 camera from day to night and back again without using the provided camera...

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    Here is an image of the way the Time Plan Settings (Schedule) looks in Web 5 when activating the night camera mode. For the day mode all of the months would be orange.

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    You and I both agree. Would rather NOT use the schedule but at present it is the only way to achieve day/night switching with Web 5. It is more or a back door approach to making the camera work for a day/night switch application. Tried a number of older Web 4 API's and these do not work in a...

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    See if the following HTTP API will work with the new Web 5 interface on the 5241 Dahua camera. It works perfectly on a Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR (PTZ5A4M-25X) PTZ for day/night operations using a Web 5 interface to modify the schedule without the need to drag sliders around. Day Switch...
