For a simple solution without any network knowledge - I am quite happy with using a POE hub for the cameras and the second NIC in the BI machine and a second rj45 on a USB plug in the PI with Home Assistant. I also have just used a cable between that HUB and the internet when I wanted to...

What are your thoughts on life expectancy for a camera?

Do you use Video detection? I may have found a way to get the settings to save. It's seems (so far) that by changing the dithering setting that the grid / zone? settings in were saved. I plan to move to a Coral based AI detection scheme this winter so only need to get through the fall.

Do you have the Video detection turned off because you do not want to use it or because you cannot configure it? I've upgraded to the '18 version and still (and never) been able to save the setting in the video detection. I probably should stop but cannot seem to keep tripping over this...

Empiretech has a link in this group with the software updates. Latest New 20190111 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

I had not tried that. I had tried changing other things and the turning off the DST setting and have not been able to get it to survive and reboot. So... I just tried saving the change numerous times (5-6) and that did not work. I am using IE -- WOW wondering how long I can do that but---...

I have 6 Dahua cams on of which is a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IP Camera 2MP Starlight WDR varifocal with audio. This camera along with 5 of another other model all use the same time server but this one rolls back the this date. I haven't caught exactly when but I think it is when I configured them to...

I have wired cameras that are on a separate NW as described here. One network for camera streams. One for everything else. I prefer to keep a physical separation, I did however get a wifi camera for Christmas. I am planning to play with the motion for a little while but really wanted this to...

While your waiting for the Shelly egg - I'd suggest having a look around the Home Assistant stuff. It's a Open HUB that can connect nicely with BI and either take video or camera sensor data and include it in home automation or connect with most cloud and devices that support MQTT or Rest...

I did find the frames (yes there is another one now HA HA) beneath the main panel but am still at a loss how to join them back into the main panel.

Embarassed to ask but....I drug a camera off the default screen in the BI 5 application...... Can someone tell me how to get it back? I did look at around in the ? but didn't find this. Thanks

Thanks a bunch. I've got a list of nagging issues with our Home Automation and Entertainment stuff. I spent too much time on trying move some applications to another server and then switched to this thinking it was a quick win. I appreciate your help. At least that is fixed. Thank You

I've got 5 Dahua 2231 cams. One is somehow set to PAL standards based on the resolution it is sending. The others are all NTSC. I've not flashed or updated any of the cameras. I may have factory reset one or more but I just don't recall. If it matters - They came from Empire Tech so I feel...

Looking at it now - WDR seems to help. I need to get an assistant to help with speeding up the testing process! Not tonight though! Anyone have any thoughts on why the one camera secondary feed is a different resolution? Is there anything you rec checking before I reset it?

Any suggestions? Also - will this be part of the day or night mode settings? I'm quite fond of the day time results so would like to keep the changes to night mode is possible. I can use Home assistant to set the mode to night with using its sum trigger and hoepfully a rest command or I've...

Wow- Appreciate you patience. If this was a snake..... Anyway, I can say that I don't recall using those settings but that when I went to get this screen shot, I saw the camera was still in "Day" mode. I manually switched it to night mode. Then a cat walked through to show that that the cat...

I don’t see anything in the camera for exposure or picture. I have pixels and refresh rate. The only lense like options are focus and zoom. Camera is not zoomed at all

Understand the up comment. I do it more as a matter of having good habits than safety. The camera settings are in a previous post

That camera said it was in day mode when I just looked at it. But it was set to switch day/night. I thought it would do day/night automatically that way and will check later. I can geek it up and use sunset / sunrise with mqtt or REST but really don't want that complexity. The IR light is...

TIA! This camera has been an ongoing subject of my attention and after not getting any real improvement I am asking for help before writing it off as a tough location. I don't have the actual light fixture in the field of view but want the door there for daytime purposes. Looking for major...

Does this look like the correct url to pickup the sub-stream from BI for the camera with the short name "frontdoor"? And should I expect asking BI for the substream to be more efficient even if I want it in jpg format? mjpeg_url: http://192.168.1.6:31793/mjpg/frontdoor&decode=0 Thanks in advance

My requirements are pretty simple. I want to use HA to control the camera and take a picture once or maybe a couple times a day when the sun is at a specific angle. I'll likely add to BI just because. If it had Starlight and motion sense that would be fun to see if it is a racoon, opossum or...

BP - Thanks for the quick reply. I changed the sub stream to '/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1&unicast=true&proto=Onvif' and have three alerts already

I am unable to get BI alerts created using the camera's digital sensor with a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IP Camera or IPC-T2231T-ZS 2MP Starlight I have BI 5.3.1.6 installed and BI camera config I've confirmed those stream paths with VLC media player. I've also observed that the camera...

Could I also store that data in a format that I can publish via a webserver? If there is a project or some examples that I can look at that would be great.

I found the help files - I see Weather Underground. I assume then if I publish to WU then I can use my data but could I kinda like my data staying here as a matter of principal (not really bent of weather data though) but could I use the Tools to connect to the Weather Underground feed from the...

The weather data add on looks interesting. Can I use my own weather station data to feed the overlay? I want hyper local weather. Also- would it be possible to add other custom sensors as well? TIA
