    Socket error 10054

    Appreciate your help, SouthernYankee. I'll post the screen shots of the video settings as soon as I can, but they are the factory default settings. In trying out different solutions, what I've noticed is that when I add the additional camera that gets the socket errors, only the substream...

    Socket error 10054

    Again, appreciate the response. The two cameras that I'm trying to add are an PC-T2831TM-AS-2 (8mp) and an Amcrest IP5M-T1179E (with Dahua flashed firmware). I have another T2831TM running just fine, as well as two other T1179Es. All of my cameras on BI are using substream processing, as...

    Socket error 10054

    I've got 6 cameras running on an HP Elitedesk 800 i7-6700 with 8gb ram. All six cameras run great with direct-to-disk, substream encoding, and max frame rates equal to camera settings, and the CPU usage is around 12 percent, give or take. When I add a seventh or eighth camera, however, I...

    gDMSSPlus notifications for LPR motion events

    Attached is a screen grab of the timeline in the web GUI. You can see solid blocks of yellow (indicating motion throughout) for most of the overnight hours. Strange.

    gDMSSPlus notifications for LPR motion events

    Appreciate the response. Yeah, those settings are okay. The issue is really at night--the timeline in the web GUI for playback events shows events in 8 minute increments (the setting for the pack duration) notwithstanding the specific motion alerts in the mobile app. But this issue only...

    gDMSSPlus notifications for LPR motion events

    Relatively new to LPR but am running a IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E (with V2.800.0000000.10.R, Build Date: 2019-11-18 firmware) and have just tweaked the settings so I get sometimes readable nighttime plate reads. Using a 256gb SD card in the camera and don't use Blue Iris. I've set gDMSSPlus on my...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    I've got a similar angle almost the exact distance that you mentioned you had (85 feet). Any chance you can share screenshots of your options?

    DHTek/Dahua OEM setup issue

    After checking with this forum first, I bought an "DHTek/Dahua" OEM version of the 2mp 30x ptz, just like this one:Amazon.com : DHTek/Dahua OEM PDN6CEU230H-I 2MP 30x Starlight H.265 POE IR PTZ Network Camera, 4.5~135mm(30x Optical Zoom), 6 IR LEDs, 200m Night Vision, Micro SD, IP67 IK10 (No...

    Camera appears on NVR camera registration tab, click add, then shows error “Cannot find the network host”, any ideas?

    I'm in a similar boat. I'm trying to swap out a camera that's currently connected to my NVR directly with a compatible Amcrest camera with the goal of getting the additional Amcrest features through the Amcrest app. In bench testing, I've successfully added the Amcrest camera to the NVR with...

    Question on 2mp 30x Starlight variant

    Just curious if anyone had hands-on experience with this variant of 2mp PTZ and had any observations about the firmware and overall camera performance: 2MP 30x IR Starlight PTZ On paper this seems to fit my needs but figured I'd check before pulling the trigger. Any insights greatly appreciated.

    Sensor difference on outdoor 12x PTZ cams

    Thanks for the info. From scouring those Amazon reviews, it also appears that while the Amcrest 25x model is marketed as a wifi only camera, it does, in fact, have POE functionality. Are you pretty happy with the 25x you have? I'm not sure that I'm going find a more customizeable interface...

    Sensor difference on outdoor 12x PTZ cams

    Appreciate the responses. I like the the build quality and functionality of the camera, especially the time task options on the PTZ menus since I need to be able to have tours start automatically between certain hours. I've seen some inconsistencies between this family of cameras, as noted in...

    Sensor difference on outdoor 12x PTZ cams

    I've installed an Amcrest 12x 1080p outdoor PTZ camera (IP2M-853EW) and am thinking about getting another one for the other end of the house. In my newbie assumption that the 4MP version of the 12x would result in a better optical zoom, I'm considering paying more for that version. The specs...

    amcrest live view/web view fail

    I just got the Amcrest 12x 1080 PTZ and was having the same issue about the webview plug in scaling. I did what Jack7 suggested and modified the WebActive X properties and that worked, but not all of the PTZ settings are there. When the webview plug in obscured the PTZ settings menu, I could...
