    Voice from Audio extraction

    With Audacity one can expand the time line and select a portion that has background noise and remove it. Plus it is one of those free programs. How it compares to a high cost commercial program is unknown on my part. www.audacityteam.org Avid would be a commercial product and most likely an...

    Voice from Audio extraction

    An option to VLC, and in my opinion easier to use, is Shutter Encoder a free program. It also has some basic audio processing built in. Drag the mp4 file into the box and select the desired audio file output. Audio Files Supported WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, AC3, OPUS, Vorbis, Dolby...

    Voice from Audio extraction

    It would be nice if there was a check box to discard video and retain audio when exporting from BI. As noted above, one solution is to export the video with audio and then extract the audio from the mp4 file using another program. If the selection is large, then the time required for BI to...

    Assume you are using a web browser to view UI3 on TS and that the URL has the port number included? Also had issues with ZT and now only use TS for connecting via cell to UI3. http://192.168.1.139:81

    PTZ IR Mode On Manual Focus Doesn't Remember Focus Point

    This may assist if it works on your PTZ model. Here using it on a Dahua PTZ SD5A425XA -HNR and it reports back the "Focus Position". It is a nice way to see if the focus number changes during the day. However, there is not a way to reposition to that focus number as best I can tell. Place...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Proper way to set auto IR for inside use? Day/night Switch, Customized Scene, BI PTZ presets day/night

    Check the API to see if there are any GET statements that will display the needed info. As an example, for a PTZ, the following can be used to display 'status' of certain camera parameters. This most likely will not apply to other non PTZ Dahua cams...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Proper way to set auto IR for inside use? Day/night Switch, Customized Scene, BI PTZ presets day/night

    Guess that Dahua had too many digital cooks in the kitchen and no one could agree on a 'standard'. Thus we have cameras that use both in different places. Confusing, yes!!! You have most likely already done this but just in case here is what I do for ms to shutter speed conversion. Divide...

    EmpireTech 2025 Autumn Sales

    This setup works well in the winter months for snow measurement. It is an older Dahua HFW2831T-ZAS-S2 (2.7mm - 13mm). The camera is turned sideways with a snow shield to keep the snow off the lens. The deck has outside lighting and the cam works well under these lighting conditions. Newer...

    How to deal with sunny vs stormy day in camera settings

    A quick general answer, without knowing your camera, settings or images (as listed above) would be to set a range for the settings. Such as for shutter 0 to 8 ms for fastest shutter to 1/125 of a second. Same with gain.

    Not a current user of ZT as it would not do subnets which is required when using BI that has no internet connection. i.e. the TS app resides on the Asus router. Thus went to Tail Scale which works well for my needs. In your case, try TS and see it if performs better than ZT for your...

    Its time i fix my terrible image quality once and for all Dahua 5442T

    Here is a set of example settings for the 5242-TZE. Note that for B/W night use, there are exterior garden lights as no IR is being used for this camera in my application. Your setting will be different for night with the use of on camera IR. Daytime settings could be in a useful range for...
