I did make one small change tonight. The API calls above set the Day\Night Mode to color. For my setup color at night is not ideal. I set it to Auto so it is B&W most of the night but if there is sufficient light it will turn to color. Night API call for auto color mode...

All roads lead to wittaj... Using the API calls below I was able to use the PTZ method to change the day\night profile on my IPC-T54IR-ZE. Thank you! wittaj Oct 20, 2022 DRUM ROLL......... With help from above, I have figured out the APIs to change profiles for this camera!!!!! Here is the...

Well, it appears that all my IPC-B5442E-Z4E, IPC-T5442T-ZE and IPC-T5442TM cameras can now be be switched to the day or night profile using the BI sunrise\sunset schedule. I had one issue where I could not change the ONVIF admin password so I added a new admin ONVIF account and pointed BI to use...

I think I may have solved the issue I was having on my IPC-T5442T-ZE cameras. I found the post below by wittaj and so I tried changing the ONVIF password again and this time it worked. I'm running a test tonight on the one camera and if it works I will do the rest. I also have an IPC-T54IR-ZE so...

Hello... I have been trying to setup the automated Day Profile\Night Profile using the PTZ control. The instructions are clear. My first test failed because I had %$ in my password. I got a 404 error. Someone previously stated they had a @ in their password and had to remove it before it would...

Perfect, thank you!

Okay, thank you. Also, just realized you wrote UI3. Really nice work!

The phone is an HTC One M8 and it is running Android version 6.

I'm using UI3 version 241, and Blue Iris version 5.7.6.8.

Hi, I need a set screw for one of my Dahua 5442 cameras, too. Did you find one? If so, is the size M5 and what length worked? I'm also using a small bolt that I cut and tapered the end as a temporary solution.

Hello, I have two issues with UI3 that I cannot resolve. I'm using an Android phone. I have been using UI3 for a year and it has worked great, for the most part. These two issues have only recently appeared. The issues are consistent using different browsers, Edge, Firefox, Google, etc. Issue...

So I changed out both RJ45 connectors. To test the cable I ran another Ethernet cable from my switch to the camera, just through the house and out the door. I used an Ethernet Coupler to connect the cables at the camera and then I plugged the other two ends located by my switch into my Ethernet...

Yes, seems like the best approach. I'll change out the other connector, put it back up, and then monitor for a few weeks before locking it down for the long run. Hopefully it was just a flakey RJ45 connectior that I put on. Thank you.

Hi, I installed my 6th camera, T544T-ZE, about two weeks ago. I've had it for a while and finally got it up. It worked great for two weeks and then starting yesterday I began having issues. When I installed it I tested the connection and it all seemed good so I did the dielectric grease, coax...

Yup, this is good advice. I've been playing a lot with these settings. Every camera is different due to their location, even when they're very close. In general, I've noticed that by lowering these settings the image gets darker but more detail appears. Leaves me with the decision on how much...

How many times do you have to read the manual to qualify as having.... "Read the manual?" Which leads me to the next thought...it came to me the other day as I was once again trying figure out the best options to pick, etc. Perhaps this is a challenge to the senior members of this board, and it...

Okay... and there I was thinking that the FPS in BI had to match the camera. :) Still curious to know why BI changes the value if it doesn't care about it. The good news is that the micro stutters I see are not related! Thank you...

Hi, Is there a reason Blue Iris will change the FPS from the value I enter? I enter in 15 FPS and then sometime later Blue Iris changes it to 16 FPS. Is this normal? I have all my cameras set to 15FPS and I matched Blue Iris to it but BI keeps changing it to 16 FPS? I was trying to diagnose...

Okay, those are good ideas. For a start I'm going to try 8.83-8.83 for the shutter range. For the other settings I will experiment based on your suggestions. Also, on this camera it has a setting for IRIS. If I understand this setting correctly it is like an F-Stop. I have it set for 70. Does...

I'm just trying to get the motion crisper. I'm not sure if it is possible with this camera? I've tried all kinds of different options and this is about the best I can get it. Having said that I don't have the experience of many on this site so it is entirely possible that I could have missed...

Hello, I'm trying to get the best night settings but I have no basis for comparison. So I don't know if I can get better video at night? Given the attached video and settings document does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it better? Is this the best that I can hope for? The B5442E-Z4E...

Yup, I have to pay closer attention. Blue Iris has been running great for me, basically since I got it earlier this year. So when I saw the update I didn't even read it... I just installed it. Boom!

Thank you! That was very helpful. I downloaded 5.6.0.3 and now I'm back up and running! :)

Hello, Is anyone else having problems after installing Release 5.6.0.4? BI was running fine before I ran the update and now a message box pops up and states "Lost Connection to service [2]" or "The service may not be initializing properly or quickly enough; try again in 30 seconds and reboot PC...

At first Amazon told me I had a choice to return it. However, at 3:00AM this morning I received an email with more information. Given this I'll use the cable. The jacket is thicker than the CMR cable I already had but even with that I was able to put a connector on without much extra effort. The...

Yes, the specs in the ad look good. All I have been able to determine is the A.2 and B.2 standard is about wire layout but that C.2 adds a lot more in terms of the specifications. Which is why I'm asking. They mention the C.2 standard several times in the ad but what I received has B.2 stamped...

Hi, I purchased a roll of cable that was rated in the advertisement as TIA/EIA 568-C.2. Here's the link... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1JFWM5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 The ad goes to great lengths to highlight compliance with the C.2 standard but the cable I received has...

Yup, that's me. I'm having a new garage built this year and the process has just begun. It motivated me to get the cameras up because a good part of this summer my backyard will be wide open to anyone that wants to wander in. My brother in-law is going to dismantle my old garage and put it back...

Well, I have my cameras up and running outside now. Still learning how to dial them in but it's going fairly well. Last night I captured this pair having a dispute! :)

Yes, that is where I disabled the "Auto-ban IP after attempts:" and the "Release temp ban after mins:" options. Initially I was still banned. I tried it a few times in a 15 minute timeframe and could not get in but a couple of hours later I tried it again and was able to login. I'm still unsure...
