    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    My memory failed me as usual, it was a Python script which I got to output all VideoAnalyseRules, which in fact means IVS rules. Hope this helps you get further, I haven't had the time to expand beyond here as mentioned. #!/usr/bin/python3 import requests from requests.auth import...

    Doing this with a smart plug would hands down be the easiest way of achieving what you want to do. Scripting the same thing would certainly be possible, but more complicated and will have to be tailored to your specific setup. I have a few lines of bash script that does this if you’re running a...

    Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions

    I would assume this is because the camera’s CPU (or GPU, if it has one) can’t handle more than one of these features at a time. My experience with my own Dahua cameras is that they got CPU power to handle the average use case and nothing more. This obviously keeps production costs down, which is...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDW1230S Lite series 2mp turret.

    Are you referring to the SmartIR issue @looney2ns? I had dismounted and replaced the camera with another one by the firmware upgrade, so I’m afraid I don’t know. For me, the biggest and most obvious improvement was that the plugin wasn’t needed anymore and interface/IVS configuration behaved...

    For those still following this thread.. Updated firmware for this camera is difficult to find. The links I posted above doesn't work anymore and a search for the camera on dahuawiki.com doesn't yield any results. Searching for "eos4" on...

    @marigo if you check section 4.3.3 Post Audio Stream in the attached API documentation, you might be able to play an arbitrary sound stream. I haven’t tried this and it’s way too complicated for me to spend time on, but if you like a challenge :)

    What does your Domoticz trigger look like? I’m running Domoticz too, so I’m curious to know. And no, I don’t know of an API call to play sound file but I’ve been looking for it too. Based on how other people have reverse engineered the API, you might be able to find out by checking what...

    I use H.265 for both Main and Sub stream. Main in 1920x1080 at 25 FPS, VBR quality 6, Max Bit Rate 5888 Kb/s and I Frame Interval 50. Sub stream 704x576 at 25 FPS, VBR quality 6, Max Bit Rate 1280 Kb/s and I Frame Interval 50. Both work well, at least in recent firmware updates (starting 10R I...

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    It would, but you would have to construct that functionality yourself. I've been meaning to for a while but it hasn't been important enough :) Here's the principle though: The Active Deterrence functionality is part of IVS. When you create a new IVS rule, you can enable it over the API with...

    No idea. Where did you buy the cam? From Andy? If so, check with him. I just applied the same update today and it installed properly.

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    Ok, so now I've had this camera for 8 months and I'm quite satisfied with it. You obviously have to learn all the Dahua quirks in the interface and the fact that it took several firmware upgrades (that I had to find myself) before the AI worked properly. You still have to calibrate it, which I...

    I used the one you referenced above. It turns out from another thread that share.dahuasecurity.com is only accessible from Europe (and possibly China). Get yourself a VPN service, choose a European country for your IP address and download away. I can’t attach the firmware zip unfortunately, it’s...

    Happy to hear! I never got around to do this due to lack of calibration material, but it seems like this is the key then. If only Dahua could have told us in the first place and saved us a ton of hours :lmao:

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    @EMPIRETECANDY any chance you could forward to Dahua that the AI People Detection feature does not work as advertised, even on firmware V2.800.0000000.10.R? It catches cats and deer, too.

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    No, but I have considered that. The reason that I haven’t, yet, is that I’ve been hoping that the firmware updates would make the AI work. I’m wary that I’ll screw things up with the minimum size so that it’ll miss objects (people). I’d rather live with too many false alarms than a real, missed one.

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    It sucks that we can’t give feedback to or hear from Dahua. I cannot use the Active Deterrence function (which, again, was the reason I bought the cam) properly until the “AI” gets fixed.

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    If you have neighbours, my advice would be that you test without the alarm sound for a bit, until you're sure. I got this camera specifically to filter out humans only and to sound the alarm when people get too close to where I don't want people, but it hasn't quite lived up to those...

    Newsflash: as I was browsing the /images/Firmware directory of dahuawiki.com, I just noticed that there seems to be a new firmware update to this camera, 2.800.0000000.10.R dated 2019-11-18 (uploaded Dec 30, 2019): DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_M..>. Couldn't see it mentioned in Andy's subforum. I just...

    Motion everywhere... :(

    Also have to retract my statement now. With my latest firmware update, I got lots of notifications during the past windy night when a tarp moved back and forth over the edge of the intrusion box. Why this triggers even though it’s supposed to trigger on “humans only” is beyond me, but then again...

    Are you using Surveillance Station on the DS116 as well? You can set up Synology's own DDNS service (as well as a bunch of others) in DSM: DiskStation Manager - Knowledge Base | Synology Inc..

    There we have it then. Those familiar with Dahua can maybe explain why they think that's a good approach. Not sure if it's a PAL/NTSC thing or that they want to keep support compartmentalised for whatever reason. Those of you outside Europe/China can access it with VPN/TOR services then, if you...

    Strange, I get straight to the login page when I click the link.

    Does this setting work properly in your case? I have the IPC-T5241H-AS-PV and the filter for Human catches cats and deer as well. Hoping for a firmware update but haven’t seen any yet. I would argue that humans have two legs and the others four, but Dahua/my camera seems to disagree.
