    IR Illuminators?

    I am putting in zigbee floodlights mainly as I work in garden at night, Don't think I'd put most of them on a sensor light with zigbee (can disable if needed).

    IR Illuminators?

    Thanks, I'm having trouble finding them for Australia - "Amazon doesn't ship this to here". Were there any others? Thank-you a lot for the barrel size. Saves a headache. I have 14/0.070 alarm 6 core cable, should I also get something like some 100m roll of 2-4core 16-14awg inwall cable? It'll...

    Cheers, I wasn't sure about if it got the bugs away from the ai detections.

    Server built, ready to try BI soon.

    So I've got my server built. It'll hopefully be running home assistant, frigate NVR (coral TPU) on a wd purple pro 12tb, truenas scale vm passed through hba to just 2 exos mirrored drives for a basic nas for now but I could fit 8 HDD's if I wanted....but 18tb exos enterprise are expensive...

    IR Illuminators?

    Just curious, I've got 5 t54/et's 5442s3 (and 1 tioc oops), saving up for another 3-4. Having one annoying issue. Frigate going nuts because onboard IR and I've read spiderwebs will grow, bugs fill the motion tracker (I'm trying to find mice in footage for the shed). LOVE the cameras. Friends...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    https://empiretech01.com/products/empiretech-4mp-25x-starlight-ir-network-ptz-camera-ptz425db-at So being on a budget PTZ's are like whoa, this fails the 4mp 1/1.8" rule but is $500 vs the 1/1.8" 4mp @ $1000aud. So far my setup is 1 tioc, whoops before I met you folk, 2 of the tz54 s3s 5442 s3...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Cheers. Should I even bother with a dahua NVR? or put that money to a server. ATM I have frigate NVR running coral ai on optiplexes, just not sure what I will miss out on without the NVR. It's another 7-900 + 400ish for hdd, I'm kinda hoping wishfully BI + CPAI and Frigate NVR will be able to...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Cheers, figured that might be the case. Kinda hoped they had the same ptz motor. If I got a PTZ is it ok to break the 4mp 1/8"rule to save money. PTZ5A4M-25X would be lovely but that's 700+ usd so 1500aud lol EmpireTech Starlight 4MP 25x 1/2.8" CMOS IR Smart PTZ Camera, 5mm–125mm Lens...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    5442-s3 models are called 54ir-s3 varifocals, do they support ptz controls at all? I can zoom in the admin console but I havent found any methods via onvif profile t with onvif, webrtc, restful api, etc for home assistant. Is it basically just set it and forget it? No way to track or at least...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Absolutely love the IPC-T54IR-ZE s3. Ordered a second one. So I'll have 3 cameras for now n slowly build up. I got the varifocal model, hope that's ok. The TIOC stuff is cool but I think I can get a Waveshare 8-ch Ethernet Relay Module (B) With Digital Input, Modbus RTU/Modbus TCP Protocol, PoE...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    So I'm back again hopefully not annoying anyone. Camera arrived, setup, looks good in daylight but i know it's not good as you say for night which is the prime time for crime. Although I am a very late sleeper so primary goal is notify me so I can go "deter" them within the bounds of the law...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Thanks heaps for the info. I'll try the one cam which will let me test everything. I found the camera designer for focal length for fov for house n will spend the next 2 years saving n learning. The garage gets left open and has a sensor light until late so I think I'll use it there for testing...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Ahh sweet, thanks soooo much for your guys help. You've definitely given me lots to plan out. I'm low income so I get one chance basically. I was attracted to the AI features a lot, but I won't connect them to siren. Maybe that one can be if I see them or window breaks but I'll have to ask a...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    DH-IPC-HDW5442TMP-ASE-0280B was the only one I could find as you mentioned with some of the features, it's weird their tioc, etc don't have bigger sensor sizes, etc. I looked at so many cameras and...they don't look appealing. Maybe I'll wait n see if they make something new. I like the 2 way...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Ah thanks for the reply, I wish i didnt impulse buy one to test (just one camera. Whoops. I got caught by the whole colour night vision thing and pretty flashy lights. Oh well I guess i could use just that one later somewhere bright maybe? I like to tinker with my automation so i guess i'll use...

    Dahua NVR + Home assistant.

    Dahua DHI-NVR5216-16P-AI/ANZ 16 Channel AI Wizsense Network Video Recorder- It mentions 2 channel face detection. If I'm using Dahua TIOC Advanced 2.0 DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ 8MP AI Active Deterrence Full color Starlight IP Turret Camera Will I get 16 channels of perimeter detection, AI...

    Dahua Tioc Alarm and voice over POE?

    The rroller is what I'll probably use n thinking of going custom NVR with poe switch. Should I get alarm cable 6 core sent to each cam? Just in case. Also will be looking at hopefully ZigBee controlled ir and normal flood lights. Can't find a ip68 ZigBee pir sensor though. Just button cell...

    Few questions over Dahua TIOC Advanced 2.0 DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 Dahua 5MP AI Active Deterrence Full color Starlight IP Turret Camera. Can all of the functions be used over just POE, so alarm, lights, 2 way voice, AI wizsense. Hoping to use Home Assistant running frigate NVR + a 24/7...
