    Yes... I mentioned setting a pole 30ft from the fence. I just don't want to install it any higher than 14-16ft from the ground because then I'd have to rent something to service it. I don't know how often that would be, but I'd have to rent something to get it up that high to start with, then...

    I could get another pole, but 14-16ft would be about as high as I could get it and be able to service it without renting equipment. I could install the pole farther away from the driveway. I could set it farther down the driveway and 30 feet from the driveway, about 14-16 feet high. There may...

    It's tracking past the pole, but it only tracks so far before stopping. This is as far as it will track before returning to the preset, which is not nearly as far as it tracks when a vehicle is leaving the house. Would it help to have this position as preset 2 and set a tripwire here to...

    Should I lower the Tracking Target Size Ratio from 25 to 20? Or is this just a lost cost unless I move the camera farther away and higher up? I can move it and run a cable underground and up a pole. I've already spent $2K+ on the camera... I need it to do what I need it to do. How far is far...

    My mother's driveway is about 600ft from the pole and our house is about 1200ft away. I was hoping to track down the driveway until it can't track any further. It does a great job when a vehicle leaves or when a vehicle passes by. Watch this one...

    Still no love for this very expensive camera. The 25x is much easier to set up and actually works. Here's from the All Clips ... the Alert stops tracking as the truck turns into the driveway. Can't upload to forum... doesn't like my video clips for some reason...

    I had it set on 35... changed it to 30 and it will get tested several times tomorrow (later today). Tracking is set to 300 seconds, so it should have followed me down the driveway and stayed zoomed in on me pretty much all the way to the house.

    I grabbed the clip of me entering the driveway. It's Saturday night and I guess my PTZ has been drinking a bit too much... made me dizzy watching it. I tried to upload it, but got the oops something went wrong error, so I just uploaded it to my server...

    Recommendations for outdoor IP camera with good AI

    Hmmm... maybe I don't need the LPR zoom camera, I can just about make out my tag with the 45x PTZ camera.

    Recommendations for outdoor IP camera with good AI

    I can see the tag as it leaves the driveway... clear as glass, but once I make the turn onto the road, I lose it. It looks like a snowy pic. Does that mean I need to zoom out more?

    I just tested it, and I could see it was following me into the driveway and it turned with me, but within 10 seconds of getting past it, it returned back to the home preset. There are no alerts either, so the settings for these other PTZ cameras I have don't work for this one.

    I would be happy to contribute a couple hundred bucks for the fix if that "someone" wants to do it.

    Cool beans... didn't even have to reboot. It was fixed as soon as I clicked the button and checked them all. Thank you! I was singing that DMX song from years back... you gon make me lose my mind.

    Change Day Schedule on Dahua IP Camera via Dahua API

    Hmmm... sounds like that might be more than I'll be able to handle. I guess I'll stick with my monthly time plan settings and let it be a little off for the part of each month. It seems like someone would have come up with something in Blue Iris to handle daily sunrise and sunset schedules...

    I'm on Night profile... and as long as I am looking at the Camera tab... it is bright in BI. I haven't set all the other months yet in the Time Plan Settings, but here is what I am looking at right now. This is what I see in BI... Then if I go out of the Camera tab and go to live... it...

    I'm struggling here. What I see here is not what I see live... why are they not the same? Here's live... and what I see in BI... it's almost black.

    It has been tracking vehicles on the road both ways, but just not tracking any vehicles coming down the driveway. I'll try these suggested settings. I see a blue line, yellow line and a red line. One is tripwire, one is intrusion, what is the other?

    Change Day Schedule on Dahua IP Camera via Dahua API

    What exactly do these links do? Do these set your day/night schedule on a daily cycle instead of a monthly cycle? I tried one and it changed my schedule from orange/purple/orange to solid orange for each month.
