    Dahua IPC-HFW2831T-ZS image degradation (Synology surveillance station)

    Right, that part I’ve understood, though I haven’t found my own optimal configuration yet. But even with a 2MP camera with larger sensors, why would more frames per seconds make matters worse? If the camera start dropping frames or degrades the image quality due to too high frame...

    Dahua IPC-HFW2831T-ZS image degradation (Synology surveillance station)

    Why is it overkill? For bandwidth and storage reasons? Though I don’t have suspicious people running about in my yard very often and thus haven’t tested in real life, I would assume that it would be easier to get a good face/body id from a higher resolution, higher FPS stream than the lower...

    Trigger blue iris with IVS?

    For anyone looking here in the future: I modified your script @johnnyletrois to not post MQTT events, but instead trigger Synology Surveillance Station to start recording. This works very well, with the only issue that Surveillance Stations does not give you push notices, because it’s currently...

    @looney2ns If you set it for human detection, will the alarm only go of if a full human body is within the box/tripwire, or as soon as “body part” crosses as well? The reason I’m asking is that my current camera setup means that people will be walking by the area where I would set up a...

    DAHUA - IPC-HDW5231R-ZE disconnection then immediately reconnects.

    I had Surveillance Station connect/disconnect a ton of times because: 1) I tried to use the SS Dahua specific profile instead of ONVIF GENERIC 2) I pushed the frame rate higher than my hardware could handle (had to settle at 1080x1920@20 FPS) When I fixed these two, the camera has stayed...

    Dahua IPC-HFW2831T-ZS image degradation (Synology surveillance station)

    I assume both suggestions in your first section is to save CPU cycles in the camera, but surely it must be able to handle that unless the firmware is broken? Same with the frame rate, though it could very well remedy the problem if it’s the Synology hardware that can’t keep up with the image...

    What lens to use for intended area?

    Thank you all. I’ll play around with IPVM and see what comes out of it.

    Trigger blue iris with IVS?

    N3wb question that’s slightly off-topic, but I can’t help but wondering now that I’ve read up a bit on Docker: why run a single Python script in a container? Security reasons, or is that the easiest way to daemonize the script since it seems to run in the foreground?

    Oh, sweet. This question comes up periodically in the Synology Surveillance Station forum as well, but the general conclusion is that it’s not supported unfortunately. The small project I would take on if I get the time is to use the Python script to poll the camera(s) and use the Surveillance...

    Nice! What did you do differently that made it work all of a sudden?

    Trigger blue iris with IVS?

    As much as I would like to say “yes” since my sysadmin skills came way before docker, I guess I can and should google my way to it :) Thanks!

    Trigger blue iris with IVS?

    @johnnyletrois @kiwijunglist What’s your way to run this script in the background after logout? Nohup?

    Wow, didn’t know that. What app receives the push notice in iOS? I’m on Synology Surveillance Station myself, so all camera notifications happen within those applications. Does the camera output any IP packets on IVS triggers at all? A while back someone wrote a Python script to poll the...

    What platform should generate the push notification and to where? Camera firmware to email, mobile, something else? As far as I know, notifications for IVS events require a Dahua NVR (maybe Blue Iris handles it too?) because those events are not sent over ONVIF. See my question on that above. I...

    On this note, is it also possible to assign multiple conditions to the audio, directly in the web interface? E.g. when person first enters box, play message “stay away”, if person stays within box for 5 minutes, play alarm sound until person exits.

    What lens to use for intended area?

    About a year ago I started reading here when getting my first real outdoor IP camera and eventually settled on a HDW-1230S (because I’m a cheapskate) ordered through Andy. Overall satisfied with the camera though I would wish that IVS events would be announced over ONVIF. My use case is that...

    Thanks for the tip on Intrusion zones. @looney2ns you mentioned earlier in the thread that the People vs Vehicle detection worked as intended. Is there an option in Intrusion zones to trigger only on People, or what IVS function did you use to test?

    I would be keen to hear other peoples’ experience on this. After lots of lurking here, I dipped my toes into the IPC waters by ordering a (yes, lower end) HDW1230S camera and I’m now looking for a slight upgrade which I thought might be this cam. The Active Deterrence and People Detection...
