    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    Swarm Alert! I'm predicting 10,000 bees will move in sometime in the next 3 hours: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmTheWaterbug/live And the stuttering every 5 seconds is killing me. I need to replace this camera, but if I'm going to drop $300 on a new BeeCam, I'd like to solve this focus issue...

    How much data do you need to receive before you get the ID? On my 2011 vehicle it takes 60+ seconds for my own car to get a full reading of pressures from 4 tires. But I'm guessing that is 4 complete transactions. Is a handshake enough to get a unique ID? And how unique are the unique IDs?

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Ah, here's the Import button: Is that because I entered the hidden menus? For some reason it's not 100% repeatable:

    It's dark now. So here's the side-by-side with the Vigilant cameras IR LEDs on Manual at 100/100. The Dahua's LEDs are off: and the reverse, with the Vigilant's off, and the Dahua at 100: The Dahua illuminates quite a bit more evenly. But in an LPR application we don't care, do we?

    Has anyone found a firmware update for these? Clicking "Cloud Update: Detect" results in "No version detected for upgrade." Googling "VSR-60-02MP1" "firmware" results in nothing except this thread. Googling "Vigilant Solutions" (the name in the banner on the web UI) returns Motorola at the top...

    OOTB oddities: each of these came with a different static IP address, but the vendor (or maybe the OEM?) was kind enough to put it on a sticker: I still don't understand why some companies are allergic to DHCP. Anyway, one login and settings update, and they're on my network and in BI for...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Here are these two very cheap cameras, compared. I really have no reason to believe they would be comparable, other than they're the only varifocal cameras I have to play with, and they're both cheap. FOV, fully zoomed out, in a dark bedroom with the shades up, but fading evening light...

    Mount it with an official looking placard from a fictitious utility with a bogus phone number and some sort of ID. No one will bother it.

    IIUC 3D NR performs some sort of frame-averaging, which would kill moving plate readability, big time.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Things that tripped me up today: I put DahuaSunriseSunset.exe in my C:\Program Files\ directory. This means it writes its config file to C:\Program Files\, which requires Administrator privileges. Which means you must Run as Administrator to configure it, otherwise your configuration changes...

    PSA, if you want the database container to start automagically after boot, you can set Docker to start automatically on login: and then use netplwiz to enable auto-login: No regedit required! You may have to turn off Windows Hello in Sign-in options to enable that checkbox in netplwiz...

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    It took a week to get them, but they're great! "Peel and stomp," and there's a reflective strip about 3/4" wide, only at the top, which makes these an excellent focusing target. For some reason my LPR camera isn't going night mode when it should, but here's what they looked like when I started...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    One of "my" coyotes died a few weeks back, and I found it on a trail about 1/2 mile from my cameras: A lot of folks around here consider them a nuisance, and I consider them a danger to my own cats, but it's hard not to feel sad when you've been watching them daily. I didn't turn it over or...

    I have two Reolink POE Doorbell cameras set up and working in BlueIris, and I'm receiving ONVIF events on button presses: I also have a RaspberryPi-based BI viewer that has no user controls, e.g. the touchscreen is disconnected, so that it just displays both doorbell cameras, full-screen, all...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Right now I'm triggering strictly on motion, and alerting on triggers, so I get a ton of false positives: I tried installing CPAI a while back, but it was really unstable, so I uninstalled it. I may try it again, and using it to Alert only on animal/human detection.

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    Great idea! I wonder if I can find some of those temporary reflective traffic guides that they use in construction zones. They're like two 2" x 2" plastic squares joined along one edge at a 90-degree angle, so they "pop up" into traffic, but they fold down when you drive over them. I'm not...

    For those that have used both... Is onboard AI detection more accurate than CPAI?

    I think the big win for computer-based LPR is the learning that comes from training on multiple data sets. Or I say "will come," since we're not there yet. But people are working on it, as we speak! And who thought allowing oh, zero, one, eye, bee and eight in license plates was a good idea...

    For those that have used both... Is onboard AI detection more accurate than CPAI?

    This is fascinating, and contrary to what my intuition would have suggested about whether the "smarts" belong in the camera or the computer. Apparently the cameras can do a lot with their tiny little brains! I am guessing that, over time, the balance will shift in favor of the the smarts being...
