I was excited to hear version 5 was out but the new features wasn't that compelling. My wish list was to get the openalpr incorporated into the product. Would definitely buy it in a heartbeat if that happened.

I fixed mine permanently by taking it apart, wiping it dry, cleaning the lense and I used tons of clear silicone to seal every hole imaginable. Make sure you buy quality seal that last decades and is sun/crack proof. No problem since then and it's been through crazy storms, baking heat and all...

Hello All, I have the Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 which I purchased from Andy, Empire Technology less than a year ago. We've had solid rain in our area for 3 days straight. I noticed there's water inside the lens. It's causing the image to be blurry and I can no longer read license plate. Is this...

Where did you get that for $150?

I ended up using BIcommand. I found JSON was crashing on some Windows 10 machine and it's also slower than BIcommand.

Just install openalpr-latest.exe on Windows. Once you do that, it creates a WIndows service. Open the app and sign in with your account. On OpenALPR website, you configure the agent that you just installed and specify your camera stream by adding a camera.

Hello All, I have the SD49225T-HN and I haven't had this camera for more than a month and just a day ago, the screen turned all white. Camera was still responsive and I can still control it, go to presets, etc, but could not see anything, just all white. It seems to have happened when it...

Go to Ptz move to preset when triggered by another camera ? Second from last post by SyconsiousAU

I just use the camera idle timeout and set it to 1 minute of inactivity and it will go to the preset I want.

I have the Z5 and it's working great for me. I may get the Z12 just to play with it and see what's the difference. I think the Z5 may have a wider FOV than the Z12 but in my street, the Z5 is working good and FOV is good for both incoming/outgoing traffic. Z12 has a better zoom but I'm unsure...

Bernie, what camera do you have for the LPR?

This is awesome. I'm using this technique as a poor man's Auto Tracking. I have a handful of fixed cameras around my property and I use them all to have them move the PTZ to their position once these fixed cameras detection motion. I have the Dahua SD49225T-HN PTZ and it's working pretty...

Thanks ibrouting. I'm going the setup FileZilla server or another that BI will support. This way BI will quiesce what it needs to do and hopefully I'll save some cpu cycles rather than installing another software. I'm running on a i5 laptop and cpu is scarce at the moment. I'll look into...

I'll answer my own question. I contacted BI support and they said they do not support SFTP. What I intend to do now is to install bitorrent sync and upload the pictures that way or setup a FTP server in which BI supports. I wonder which method will consume less CPU as we all know BI consumes...

I've ordered these, which are bullets that are sub $100.. HFW4431K-16 and IPC-HFW4431R-Z. They work great for outdoor but would look ugly indoor. I'm looking to replace my cheap Airlink and Foscam garbage. Perhaps 1 good indoor cam to record bad guys in case they break in. My exterior house...

Hello All, Can anyone recommend a Dahua Indoor dome camera with PTZ feature. Must be PoE. I'm looking to spend $100 or less on each. Built in Mic and Speaker would be a plus but not necessary. Thank you.

Can BI upload pictures to SSH FTP Server? Specifically, it's BitVise SSH FTP server and when I do a test, I can see that it authenticated but then terminated right away. I've confirmed that using other clients such as FileZilla works fine and I can create/upload data. In BI log status, I see...

I'm running BI in Vmware ESX and it works fine for me.

This iframe and stuff is new to me so for those that are new like me, this is a great explanation of that iframe is: Foscam Forum • View topic - KEY FRAME INTERVAL and this is a great comparison between FPS.

Thanks fenderman, what fps do you suggest for LPR? I assume higher FPS is more taxing on CPU? What use case would high FPS be applicable?

The Max rate was set to 30, why is it changing to 33 on its own?

Here's my record settings. I've set the FPS to 30 fps. It was at 25 but it doesn't seem to make a difference. In the camera hardware, it's set to 30 fps, should I match it in Blue Iris?

Hello All, I have the latest Blue Iris and I have a dedicated LPR camera, IPC-HFW5231E-Z5. This camera is set to continuously record 24/7. I noticed that when I playback the time line, it would skip 5 seconds or more. Why is that? I go through frame by frame and I'm looking at the seconds...

After adjusting the mask, it appears to be better. I've made the mask more simpler. At first I wanted to cover every area because I'm not sure whether cars would sway to one side of the road or if ALPR would miss due to only half a plate captured. Now the plates are capturing with more...

Thanks. For that specific car, it read it correctly but sometimes other cars in the same spot, ALPR totally ignores them. ALPR code is strange, sometimes it gets plates that are blurred and sometimes it misses ones that very clear. My Z5 camera's focus seems to adjust it's focus on its own...

OpenALPR issue. For the most part, my LPR setup seems really good. Very clear picture day and night. OpenALPR is reading it sometimes and sometime it does not. What gives? I've given OpenALPR my main stream and 4 cores to work with. Attached is a clip of the street in which cars goes in...

I have simplisafe. I wonder if there's any way to trigger Blue Iris when arming my Simpisafe system so that I can tell Blue Iris to monitor a certain camera and alert me when there's activity.

Hello Kev, Which is the Z5 and which is Z12? I assume Z5 is the left picture? Why does it look better than Z12?

Thanks Sergey, I spent hours trying to tweak the settings. The settings I have now captures the rear plates clearly, but the fronts are either blurry or too dark. I will try your specific settings tonight but I think this camera isn't very good at 12mm for my specific distance. I just bought...
