    Frigate - Nvidia GPU 0%

    Hello thank you for help. At least everything is running and so I did not searched for the reason. The Nvidia status shows that the GPU is doing something. Two ffmpeg processes running and I have two cameras. If I find time and do not know what to do, I will pullout the GPU and check what will...

    Frigate - Nvidia GPU 0%

    I am still trying about to understand Frigate and test if it is the system I want to use. What I do not understand why my GPU load is so low. OK, there is not so much to do. The high resolution stream only is getting recorded and the low resolution stream already is coming by fps 5. But to me...

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    It gives me a better picture for detection to what I have learned here. But your 180° pictures looks good if you want to capture everything at once for overview.

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    Thank you. Impact of sensor size I know. And tighter view of the 6 mm fixed focal lens is what I would have expected. Basically this is what I did first and then used the software m. a. to come to the same results. And when playing around with the zoom of varifocal camera I was confused.

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    Update Finally I decided to go with two zoom cameras as I was not sure if my idea of 3.6 mm / 89° is the best one. Currently I set the Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE / EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 to zoom set point of 807. Acc. the focal lens calculator this should be equivalent to 6.0 mm. Luckily I did...

    Dahua cam without NVR

    Dahua cam without NVR

    Sorry for not being clear in my post. I provided too much side information and my question was hard to find. I am asking if I can get access to the data stored on NFS or Samba Share from the camera’s web interface in the same way I can access the recorded data on the SD card. I am here to...

    Dahua cam without NVR

    Hello, How can read the recorded data on Samba or NFS share? I am planning to uses two IPC-HDW5442T-ZE, or to be more precise two IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3. The use of an NVR I have not yet planned for a set-up of two cameras only. I first will check how far I can go with Frigate and the camera build in...

    EmpireTek IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE - Same software?

    Hello, from hardware side EmpireTek and Dahua are the same to what I have learned. But what about the software? Do EmpireTek IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 and Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE have the same functionality? If possible, would there be any advantage or disadvantage to run an EmpireTek cam with the Dahua...

    Dahua naming system - lost

    Hello, is there any system in Dahuas's naming convention for cameras? I try to understand the difference between different Dahua cameras to be able to select the best for my needs and budget. I am lost! I am not focused on this specific type, but when I search for IPC-HFW5442 I get listed 19...

    Beginner Question: AI or dump camera for Frigate

    I just checked out some NVR. I m not yet sure if for example a Dahua NVR4108HS-P-EI or NVR4104-P-EI would be the right choice for me. But they are not so expensive and do not draw so much power. There might be no benefit to go with Frigate.

    Beginner Question: AI or dump camera for Frigate

    Thank you. This I will take in consideration when selecting the cameras. But I might start with two cameras and something free like Frigate. What I have read and tested with a web cam in combination with Frigate so far, let me believe that it will satisfy my needs. scare possible intruders (a...

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    Thank you. This narrows down the choices to a clear direction: two cams with "normal" view angle of about 90°.

    Beginner Question: AI or dump camera for Frigate

    Thank you. This helps a lot to get the right impression. The pictures of your second post are impressive. Using AI detection of the camera, would I still be able to use frigate for the event triggered storage? Or is this possible only by using an NVR out of the ecosystem of the camera's maker?

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    Thank your for help. I am not looking for a specific device proposal. I am more interested in to get an understanding of pros and cons and to find the best concept for my application.

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    Yes, this also sounds like a good idea. This proposal with a combined 180° camera will address the issue with the blind spot of the PTZ. The proposed device seems to be a little bit over spec: 3 km detection range and 200 m IR range. I only want to cover a 10 m x 10 m area. I could count the...
