    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 - What is the focus issue?

    Thanks, that helped a little and I was able to get it manually dialed in before dark that way, but it appears to still try to auto-focus at some odd time in the middle of the night anyway as it triggers a motion event by the focus changing. Anyway...new issue. I was going to start a new thread...

    Can the user set up motion alerts for themselves in the UI3 or only view the camera and clips?

    How to share a live bi camera feed?

    ? I am talking about someone in another location...they would not be on the same network so not sure I understand that part. I'll check out the help files more thoroughly.

    How to share a live bi camera feed?

    I would like to be able to share a single live BI camera feed or access to its video clips with others who do not have BI. Is there a way to do this?

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 - What is the focus issue?

    I played with the settings a bit as suggested and set the schedule for night\B&W IR at 6:30. It worked and focused decently on the spot. Then a big rain storm came through and still here and that's when I realize a zoomed in camera image is apparently completely useless in the rain at night...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 - What is the focus issue?

    So I have a HFW5231E-Z12 that I bought a while back and just now setting it up, (now that's it already considered outdated. :rolleyes: ) I'll probably try to use it for LPR but right now just playing around, pointing it at a deer feeder in a field. I want to have it fully zoomed but am dealing...

    Cant get Zoom to work in BI on older PTZ

    Yes, that is what I did initially. It auto selected generic and none of the functions worked with that setting which is when I started trying a few others.

    Cant get Zoom to work in BI on older PTZ

    Thanks, I am not sure what you mean by "onvif device manager", but the PT & Z work fine when logging into the camera directly from IE so I don't think a camera reset would make a difference there. But in BI only the PT works so I am assuming it is some magic combinations of settings to get the...

    Cant get Zoom to work in BI on older PTZ

    No luck with that for me...:rolleyes: Why are there only like 6 Dahua selections when they make many more versions? If they are meant for broader categories, is there a cross reference chart for which Dahua camera falls into each category? None seem relevant for my other than trying the ones...

    SMD 3.0 dahua

    I always thought BI could not pick up on the camera's internal rule triggers so hadn't looked into it for a long time, but if it can I'm going to start seeing what I can set up on the cameras and do that. ...where is the setting for, "pull ONVIF triggers from the camera"? I see a, "Sources...

    SMD 3.0 dahua

    That's amazing if it works that well! I didn't even notice the person in the image right away! What do the red vs. blue lines represent \ trigger ? So this AI is just built onboard the camera? No setting up sending off snapshots or video streams to a 3rd party free or paid service? Will...

    Cant get Zoom to work in BI on older PTZ

    I dusted off my older model DH-SD29204S-GN PTZ I bought from Andy several years ago now. The PT and Z and everything works fine directly through the web interface however I cannot get the Zoom to work in in BI. No idea what config to select. I started with just doing the Find\Inspect for...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    That is similar to the injector I have that seems to have failed, (TrendNet). So, how does that switch help you with your POE+ needs if it still only delivers 15w max to a port?

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    Maybe a dumb question but can you combine 2 ports from a POE switch, (802.3af 15.4w Max) to push through 30w of power to a device which needs POE+ power? I have two cameras now that need POE+, and maybe more down the road and also using a 1x4 POE passive splitter to share POE power from 1 port...

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    Here's the 180 deg wall camera, (just happened to have one of those as well I recently put up on the garage and love it)...but it's a lot bigger vs. a low profile fisheye. In both scenarios though they show a lot of overview but for a decent ID the individual would have to be pretty close to the...

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    That did not work but I found another older post about it here and after a couple of tries I was able to find it in the config tool by changing the IPV4 and adding the .1 sub in an alternate config section...not even really sure what I did. Then scanned w the config tool and found it...then it...

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    So I opened the camera and pressed the only button thee was for about 30 sec and rebooted it, (unplugged from POE Switch) for 30 sec or so. Now I can tell the camera is back on but can't find it so I am assuming it reset to it's factory condition, which I recall means some default 192.168.1,x...

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    Hmm...So I only ever changed the default log-in password via web browser and used the same ID\PW in BI. Could there still be a generic default ID\PW for the web?! Failing anything else, can the camera somehow be "hard reset"? Not like I have any special settings I care about.

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    Seems like a 180 would make more sense of course but maybe the fisheye is less obtrusive and more vandal resistant than a large 180 camera sticking out of the wall. Also many of the fish eyes have on-board de-warping. I picked up a couple of used Illustra i-825 , (5MP but you'd hardly know it...

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    So I am just trying to log into the camera directly from a web browser on my desktop. The camera is connected via a POE switch. Not sure what you mean by, "log in to the camera via the same host as BI or a different one. " Also sorry...no idea what cURL is?...(I did just google it...A...

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    Not understanding this...I cannot log directly into the camera is the issue. How could I create another account on it without 1st being logged in? BI can access the camera and record the image but no resources within BI to create another account on the cameras that I know about. I did check my...

    Wyze cam version 3

    RTSP available for V2 and pan cam but not "yet" for V3. You have to flash, but, "Using the RTSP firmware will prevent the camera from supporting any future functions or features in the Wyze app." https://wyzelabs.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026245231-Wyze-Cam-RTSP

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    Tried disconnecting for a while...no change. How is it BI can access the camera but I cannot through any other means with the same ID and Password? What other options are there? Factory reset? Is there an on-camera button for that?

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    Same settings as in BI. I've not changed the ID or PW for the camera since I got it a couple years ago. I had this happen temporarily a long time ago on other Dahua cameras in one browser but not in another which is why I tried different ones...but it is doing it in all and the config app...

    Bird Buddy Wifi Bird feeder camera with A.I!

    Stumbled across this. Thought it was a clever idea. The A.I. supposedly identifies what type of bird it is by facial recognition, (would you call it beak recognition?), or by its song which seems pretty incredible. www.indiegogo.com/projects/bird-buddy-a-smart-bird-feeder#

    Getting invalid User Name or Pssword message on Dahua cam

    Just started getting this on one of my cams. I do not log into them directly very often but the ID and password worked last week. I have not changed any IDs or passwords from my original change at set-up a long time ago. No NVR. I use Blue Iris. BI still connects to and shows the camera...

    Lets talk next level PTZ's with Laser IR

    The clarity of the 5442 looks like you could reasonable read plates at that distance? Or is it not as clear\focused for moving video objects vs. snapshot?

    Lets talk next level PTZ's with Laser IR

    All this talk of big sensors and lasers is getting me excited. o_O I think there should be a new forum category for just such topics to include discussion, reviews, videos of just the newest cutting edge stuff coming out or already here, regardless of price. It could be called "Cam Porn Chat"!
