    You might try VM eye vMEye - Apps on Google Play. It is the app that the sellers of my ebay board cameras recommended. It will tell you the basic info about the stream, if what you have is a VM format camera. I'm always suspicious that this kind of software is spyware, so caveat emptor.

    I just checked the BI settings for the second one of these I had handy, and it took the same settings. I know I have had this one running with an rtsp stream, but I can't get it to work tonight. Maybe tomorrow when I'm fresh.

    Here's a screenshot for one I hadn't had on BI previously. BI couldn't detect it, but Security Scanner gave me the IP address, and once I plugged that into BIband hit 'find', it found it. BI inserted a default password for it, but it had no default password. Once I left the pw blank, BI added...

    Yes, at least the three or four I've bought on ebay. Once you know the IP address and the login, they come up in BI as generic Onvif cameras using the RTSP info. BI is more catholic than, say, Dahua's various viewers, which I have had no luck using for VM cameras.

    A lot of Chinese IP cameras found on ebay and Ali Express use a protocol called VM. There are several viewers you can download, one called VM Eye comes to mind. Assume these are spyware and take appropriate countermeasures, but they may give you the info you need to set up an rtsp stream...

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    Maybe you don't need steel. A wooden ball or half ball with an angle grinder nut attached and a sanding disk adhered to it.

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    Tacking is the key to aligning. Tack, try, cut, adjust, repeat. Search ebay for steel ball, you'll find some hollow ones, also hemispheres. Some are stainless, which you'd want to silver solder, unless you're a fantastic welder.

    POE Trigger/Switch for Mailbox Cameras on BI?

    Interesting. I see a nut with angle grinder threads welded to the steel ball. On the other side, an adhesive-backed sanding disk.

    Yeah, nice. That gouge looks like it would tickle.

    Hmmm. Mine are pointed nearly 180 degrees apart, but the lenses are 2.6 and 3.6s.

    BoobieCam image distortion

    I have three, but none of them sees direct sunlight. I get no dome problems during the day, but at night the IR glares if I have it on. Wittaj says he can adjust the rubber washers to block the IR. I haven't managed to do it, but maybe they could be adjusted to block the sun glare you're...

    I have an application for a camera (vehicle, not security related)

    In fact, you could get by with a 480 line cctv board camera and a cctv test monitor, all for less than $50 on ebay. Housings are available for the cameras, though you could just pot it in some clear epoxy to waterproof it.

    I have an application for a camera (vehicle, not security related)

    The small monitors they put on cameras would probably do for you. I've got a couple by the brand name "Feelworld" that work pretty well. HD resolution. Standard 1/4 - 20 mount, hdmi input. As to waterproofing, you'll think I'm kidding, but I'm serious-- get a big zip lock bag and put it over...

    Aliexpress Dahua IPC-HDW2439T-AS-LED-S2 and IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2

    Other members (wittaj?) have warned that China domestic models sometimes have their firmware burned in and can't be reflashed to international firmware. So make sure you can return it if you're not happy.

    Hello? Mr. Amazon? Yes, I'd like to let you know I found your collapsible bag. You'll be right over? Oh, you're very welcome. I'm sure you'd do the same for me.

    ... Is there a day/night tab under system? Maybe you can control the lights there.

    Need help with Dahua security camera

    Those look like camera settings, but I don't see anything for your illumination. It may be there's no control in your interface for the IR. If so, your only option might be to disable the lights in the camera and add external illumination, either IR or visible.

    IVS not alerting, motion too sensitive.

    I got a lot of false positives at first because I still had the non-IVS motion detection still enabled in the camera. Then, in blue iris, you also have to uncheck motion sensor under the blue iris triggers for the camera. In BI, look at the detail under Onvif triggers and make sure you're not...

    But it probably has a way to bring up a menu on the monitor. Search the recorder's product number on Dahua's website and on YouTube. You may get a manual from Dahua and tutorials from YT.

    I can imagine. Here's the audio setup video I mentioned. It shows screen by screen how to get to the menus in the dvr. That should be some help.

    I'm at the limit of helpfulness, I think. There was a YT video showing how to adjust audio for you camera via the dvr. It looked like there was a decent interface. I noticed a lot og tagalog-language videos, so that camera must have been popular in the Philippines. Perhaps if you or the IT...

    Need help with Dahua security camera

    I meant to point out that the data sheet lists a programmer, which should work with the OP's variant of the camera. There is an online manual for the programmer, and an abundance of videos for both the programmer and the camera on YouTube. It looks like there's a pretty full-featured...

    Search 'board camera pigtail' and you'll get a million hits on ebay. Tell the seller what you have and send him a photo. Compare their photos to the pinouts on your board.

    No, the camera should have it built in. If you send us a photo of your camera board, I'll compare it to mine. I kind of suspect the pigtails are a standard item that the camera board makers design around, but I'll be happy to compare. I bought the board cameras I have on ebay from Chinese...
