    Can't get IP address to update on IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3

    I thought it did not post because I did not see the post, but I now realize I needed to scroll for a mile to get past all the sticky threads. I shut down the Config Tool and reopened it. I attempted the change again, and it worked immediately.

    Can't get IP address to update on IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3

    I've tried several different IP addresses that are free on the network, but it is not taking for some reason. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get it working?

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    I turned on the Backlight and set it to BLC customized for the area around the lights, and that helped some.

    I'll no doubt have to do some adjusting on my with all the lights we have around the house.

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    I got mine installed, but I'm not sure how to set this up so that it auto-toggles between day and night. I did not realize it did not offer a monthly schedule that I could manually set or auto-switch like the other cameras I own. I guess I can set my calendar reminder and change it on the first...

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    That would be ideal if there was a way to set it up.

    Yep ... i figured that out when setting it up.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hmmm... maybe that's why it didn't power up when I tried it. They use the same manual for both.

    Hmmm... I only see one option for resolution.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    The only thing I don't like about it is the fisheye image, but it is what it is. It does what I need it to do.

    I installed the ReoLink doorbell today using the existing 18v connections and WiFi. It has worked as it should thus far and is integrated with Blue Iris. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Not too bad MS:

    Wow... what a difference that made. Still get the front of the barn and the Jeep parking.

    But then I get too much roof, unless I zoom in.

    Yeah... I found out when I moved the other one to that same area, it got darker too. Odd that I didn't have this issue in the daytime when mounted lower.

    Exact same settings on both cameras. Is the one darker because of it pointing towards the sun?

    OTOH... our little ZE-S3 for the carport is pretty good so far.

    Okay... not so good thus far. This PTZ will likely only be good for day use. Maybe the 4MP unit I am getting for the barn to look back at the house will be better for night. https://snapbug.cc/PTZ-25X/Barn15.20240813_210255.mp4

    I haven't tested it yet, but I will shortly. I can raise it up above the roof line, or at least get most of it out of the way. I can't see anything over to the left anyway for the tree.

    Got a good shot of the barn at least.

    I'm not sure I have a lot of options short of installing a pole somewhere. I want to keep an eye on the storage buildings and shop... as well as the driveway coming into the house. I ordered the PTZ 4MP 25X to mount the metal barn and look back at the house (yellow circle). It will be about...

    I'll adjust the settings tonight and see what I can come up with. This particular camera will mainly be operating within about a 50ft range. The other one just like it, will be reaching out to about 125ft. Day settings on both seem to be fine for pretty much all areas... but night indeed...

    Looks like I'll need to make some other adjustments... still getting blur and wash out with Zoom Priority and the current settings.

    That person was my brother. What was odd is that when I tested it by walking around out there, it did not do this... it looked pretty good with the settings I had. I'm not sure what triggered this particular instance. I have Illuminator set to Auto, so I changed it to Zoom Priority, and I'll...
