    One is never too old to learn new tricks! What is now helpful is the use of AI. Look into either Copilot, Claude or others. Most have a free trial where technical questions can be asked and answered. Many use these same AI engines for writing computer code without the need to know the...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Will give your script a try. Ran both w32tm /query /configuration and w32tm /query /status on the BI windows computer. The results are in the text file. Take a look and let me know if there is anything unusual going on. The NTP server on the router updates the BI computer. The cams are...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Excellent! That way you can modify the paths and file names. They are all listed in the params. Usually place a new folder on C drive to keep it simple. Easy to add and remove.

    The PS script is setup for the same user/password for all cams. I Will write up the instruction for use and get it ready for external testing. Will that work for you?

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Not concerned at this time with the overall time. But more concerned that the cams vary so much from one another. Did a test using a static set date/time. Reset all the cams. And in a few seconds some were off. It would be my guess that it is a cam issue and related to the internal clock...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Will be glad to share has only been tested on BI. It runs on PowerShell ver 5.1 - 7.6 plus one needs to setup a flat datebase file with a listing of your cam IP addresses of interest. That is nothing more than a text file with one line for each IP address. Will get that file ready to go...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Right now it is running on the system clock. From a historical aspect there has been a lot of drift on certain cams even with running NetTime using Google time. The BI box has no internet. Is there a way to make that happen?

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    It is using a local Asus router on the LAN as the NTP source. Overall, it appears that the issue is not the time, but the drift within the cams.

    Are you referring to the screen shot or the first post with the times? If the initial post that is done with a PowerShell script.

    Tailscale - Now up to 6 Users

    Like that Tailscale has now increased the number of users on their free plan. A plus for BI folks. "The Personal plan remains free and is better than ever. In addition to new features, it now includes up to 6 seats (previously 3 users)."

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Trying out a new script that will update Dahua cameras in BI on a user set time schedule. It uses a Dahua API to set the current camera time. So far it is working well but will need more testing to make sure. As pointed out above by wittaj, some cams have a mind of their own when it comes to...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Yes, agree. Will just have to live with the system as is. Too bad the cams can not do better, but overall being a few seconds off is a lot better than hours off! Would love to see all the cams switch at the same time, but only in Hollywood movies! Did use an overlay a few years ago but now...

    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Should Dahua cams all have time within a second or is that something that is not practicable and impossible to achieve using Blue Iris? Here are the results of the cams that are running on Blue Iris. IP Address -- Time HMS 192.168.55.12 -- 14:19:02 192.168.55.16 -- 14:19:05 192.168.55.18 --...
