    Add Sunrise Sunset to Time Plan Settings

    Also just for confirmation, copy and paste your api command in full with password in xxxx's or something similar, second pair of eyes can often help

    Add Sunrise Sunset to Time Plan Settings

    That is very odd, test first in browser, then move to Blue Iris once you get the OK result shown in browser window. Also confirm that ONVIF triggers are sending to Blue Iris, this will give some additional confirmation on login command/user etc.

    Add Sunrise Sunset to Time Plan Settings

    As @wittaj suggested, it will likely be either username/password related or port error. Things like this can have you chasing your tail :thumb:

    Try: user:password@cameraIPaddress:4561/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.SwitchMode=0&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.DayNightColor=0

    You can also try putting the modified port after the IP, as below: user:password@cameraIPaddress:8080/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.SwitchMode=0&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.DayNightColor=0 This assumes port number is 8080 in the example code snippet

    Assuming you have the correct port set in Blue Iris under Video > Configure.... then yes try port 80 on cam again and report back.

    Add Sunrise Sunset to Time Plan Settings

    Interesting, well you are using the same camera as me, Blue Iris the same and mine is working with the API call I posted above. If you paste the command straight into a browser and hit enter will it execute? Check to make sure the API call setup in Blue Iris is using http and not https as well.

    I use the following from Blue Iris on a T54IR-ZE-S3 Turret and they work fine: Sunrise user:password@cameraIPaddress/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.SwitchMode=0&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.DayNightColor=0 Sunset...

    Ok that is good to know, I do export clips now and then which works fine on 5.8.8.8 - appreciate the heads up.

    BI 6.0.1.21

    I am still on 5.8.8.8 which for me was working best at the time. Are there any real world performance/stability reasons to move 5.9.9.98 at this point. With version 6 being a fresh release I will let the dust settle before jumping that far forward.

    Issues with Dahua Cameras

    There is some luck no doubt, one of mine which had corrosion was totally random in how or when it would work. Had another similarly exposed without grease and it still continues to behave now! The takeaway is always use dielectric grease, nobody wants to install a camera twice, let alone a PTZ...

    Issues with Dahua Cameras

    I have seen this with two of my cameras, or very similar at least. Works for weeks or even months, then dropped for days or weeks, before finally coming back again! Both cases were corroded network connectors, replaced the network tail end and all was good. As @wittaj noted above, dielectric...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    The DRAM price fixing will come and go, if history repeats itself, no way will prices stay like this long term, my opinion only of course. Even if some sub brands from Micron get swept away in the process, they will continue to supply others. Much as I like the 5442/S3 range for being solid day...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I am totally onboard with your opinion and yes, it is the suppliers, DDR5 and DDR4 prices are plain stupid now, total price fixing by the three main suppliers. Disgusting, but it has happened before and will happen again, the fines are no deterrent for them. The 5442 was pretty much peak...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Regarding the price increases. I think the Ai related hardware giants will be more interested in DDR5 modules than 1GB storage used in IP Cameras :wtf: Might have been best if Dahua had just left that part out of the official price adjustment notification and stuck with tariffs. The 54Pro does...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Yes, just a small improvement would be nice, seems like it will be next month at the earliest now, latter part I suspect. Those two cameras look interesting, my beta testing days are over for a while now but I do hope these work out for you :thumb:

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Guessing most owners are either just living with these now or have moved them on. I still have one brand new in the box and two which are up and running, both of which will get replaced unless we have a miracle firmware fix in the next few months. They can be repurposed elsewhere I guess...

    OK, do we have 'Pro' firmware coming for end of January, since only one day is left now. getting close :oops:

    OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras

    I would still like to know if anyone has the text overlay running on a IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 bullet camera, if so what script/command they are using. :thumb: *****Update, just resolved this. In camera Overlay I enabled 'Location' then used the normal script/command...

    IR halo ring issue in a IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2.

    On the older turrets they used to have a foam ring around the lens, this was meant to press against the glass. In theory the function was to stop IR reflections, often these were not positioned correctly from factory. I had to split the turret open and reposition these on a couple of 2mp...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Depending on the brightness and direction of those lights, I see this frequently on an old 49225 PTZ when car headlights drive towards it. Internal reflections (lens flare) causing the light to bounce around within the lens assembly, potentially.

    HDD recommendation

    Annoying, best get it swapped out, only so many times it will come back to life no doubt about that! Some will say brand is personal preference, I will take WD every single time, but only in 5 year warranty flavour, ie Blacks or Enterprise. I used to have a stack of failed Seagates removed from...

    HDD recommendation

    The big problem is they can vary depending on model (size), also some of the enterprise 7200's are actually very good, if in a vibration damped mounting. I sit next to (3 feet away) a 14TB WD enterprise drive in a PC which uses only Noctua fans, it registers 30-32db virtually next to the case...

    HDD recommendation

    I have done dB test in the past, but the general noise is louder, 'machine gun' effect is also quite a bit louder. The enterprise style in the external drive enclosures are pretty good if you have them in a good drive mount, ie with anti vibration fixings in the case, suspect in the NVR you will...

    Unlimited budget and no care about noise - WD Blacks or enterprise 7200rpm Budget and care about noise - WD Purple Handy with tools and great value - WD External on offer and remove the drive :thumb: **For info I have been supplying and building systems for 25 years, can't ever remember a WD...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Think I will try a factory reset on the one I have running latest firmware, this might also allow me to rollback if desired. Will report outcome if I go ahead with that.

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I am seeing this both in live view and playback, similar effect to running 5 frames per second.

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Has anyone recently tried going back to a previous firmware? If I try this it gives me an error and fails whilst trying to install after the upload.
