    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I had something weird happen with mine today. The presets all rotated their horizontal position about 45 degrees the same direction, the vertical axis was unchanged. Got everything reset and will see if it happens again. Really strange.

    Welp, for the first time in the history of construction it sounds like the stucco and styrofoam house is a plus. Waiting for the Amazon fairy to deliver a mount. Hope to have the new cam up this weekend. Ill need to spend some time figuring out how all this PTZ stuff works.

    Son of a... I know why. the 2 cameras in question are cloned/hidden for some stuff I was playing with a long time ago. The clones were attempting the old passwords!!! edit: 20 min later, issue is 100% resolved. For real this time.

    Nope. The cameras ARE assigned the same IP as the cameras they replaced... however those cameras were removed from service prior to the new cameras going online. The password for the new camera is different from the old camera. Even after establishing proper communication and receiving...

    Okay, I spoke too soon. Still getting lockout issues. if I time it when the lockout expires, I am able to get in and make changes to various settings that work. It's irritating, but workable. I'm not terribly concerned... the camera still does it's job .

    I do have a special character in my password (not an @). Maybe that has something to do with it... but then again, it works fine on the other cameras. Just bizarre

    <<<< Edit, I was 100% wrong in this post. See below, was caused by a camera/clone issue if anyone is reading this in the future >>>> Okay, likely discovered the contributing factor to my woes. The cameras that worked and were not getting locked out were configured in BI as Dahua cameras in...

    Process (via memory, so I'm sure I forgot something) when I initially configured the cameras: Follow GUI process & set password (hasn't changed since my initial configuration -- all 3 of the cameras & LPR camera were set with this login/pass... 2 have problems) -set 264/264 -set NTP -some other...

    Odd, on 2 of the 3 cameras, the web interface is constantly locked out.... the cameras stream fine, take commands from BI for zoom correct, but for some reason can't log into the web interface. That leads me to believe it's not BI giving invalid credentials causing the lockout. Something else...

    Here we go. Still have a lot of configuring to do. It's not a 100% fair comparison, as the old camera's capture was from earlier in the morning with slightly lower light - but the crispness is incredible in the new one. I did mount the camera in this angle a few inches lower on the wall of...

    Installed the new cameras today... did a little cheating. I labeled the wires on each camera indicating their position and assigned them static IP's to match the cameras they were replacing. Had a little updating to do in BI as far as camera communication, but otherwise it was plug and play...

    How to get BI to save alert jpg to folder when trigger happens

    I came here to say exactly what Scoobs posted. I have mine dump into a folder that's in my one drive account, offsite/cloud backup could prove nice to have one day.

    For what it’s worth, the car thieves in my area don’t seem to mind cameras and appreciate well lit driveways. Now I need an ai powered PTZ paintball gun with FaceID.

    Thats good to know. I just hope the angle of it doesn’t cause an over exposure for the other cameras facing that direction. Time/testing will tell.

    An update to this project. The cameras from Andy arrived yesterday. First thing I did was assign static IPs in my camera network’s range. Then took the turrets apart, masked them off and scuffed everywhere that I am going to paint with a paint prep pad so that the rustolium can adhere better...

    Welp I went ahead and ordered some new cameras. Have 3 of the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3's coming from empire, along with some junction boxes. Picked up some spray paint that mostly matches the house to help hide them a little bit. Will bench configure & test them out before painting, just in case...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I’ve noticed increased lag when turn on ALPR with Code Project. Without ALPR running, I average 100-150ms on images sent to code project, however after turning on ALPR everything jumps to 500-750 (likely due to the sensitivity to motion the LPR camera is set to, a LOT of images). I’m currently...

    Yeah, I am going to seal it well once the equipment gets here. That area is tucked back really far in the entry way, even in the most aggressive rain, it’ll stay dry. Unfortunately I’m only able to get the cable about 2” out of the wall. This was an easier solution trying to pull new wire...

    That’s awesome. Really appreciate yall taking time to help me out. Got really really lucky with my doorbell. Turns out they used cat5 and just cut the extra wires. Was able to put a female rj45 jack in the wall. Then put a mail jack in the attic and used a shielded connector to run it to a new...
