    Panoramic PTZ

    Just got the PTZ3E10X and like it a lot. Has anyone been able to get autotracking to work on an IVS rule-by-rule basis? I have a single IVS intrusion zone on the panoramic cam on a golf course fairway near my house that I would like the PTZ to autotrack when a human appears in that zone only. I...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    That's helpful. Thanks. I've had my 437 for a couple of years now and, like the 237 I had before it, the time settings won't stick. After syncing with the PC or turning on the time server option, the snaps will have the accurate time for a few hours and revert to an inaccurate time. Using old IE...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Just wondering if anyone here with the 437 is running the most recent firmware on Andy's site, which is dated 7-26-2024? The last three I tested from Andy were from 2023 and I didn't use for various reasons. Just wondering if anyone has had luck with the newest, and I presume, last firmware for...

    Hikvision dual sensor ANPR

    When I get the camera and get it installed a post a mini-review on how it compares to the ITC437 and ITC237 (I've used both). I like the idea of having a separate 4mm overview cam that can have completely different settings.

    Hikvision dual sensor ANPR

    I have one on order. I like that it has a true day/night profile unlike my ITC437. Curious how the 1.2" sensor with 8mp will improve plate reads.

    Hikvision dual sensor ANPR

    Was just wondering if anyone here owns or has experience with this camera: iDS-2CD8A86G0-XZHSY 1050/4 It looks like a good upgrade from my ITC437, but I haven't used a Hikvision ANPR camera before.

    Where to buy HFW5241E-Z12E?

    I'm looking at the 2CD8A86G0-XZHSY 1050/4 also. Did you or anyone else on this thread ever get one? I'm running a ITC437 but I'm not a fan of the hook style mount and I'd like a 4mm overview camera with the ALPR cam.

    ITC431 versus ITC437

    I'm running one of Andy's ITC437 ANPR cams and before that ran the 237 version. Just curious if anyone is running Andy's 50mm version of the ITC431-RW1F-IRL8 and has an opinon if it is worth the upgrade over the 437? My 437 has generally worked fine but the mount on the ITC431 would work better...

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    The post was a link to a script a member wrote that brought up an interface where you can check (and uncheck) boxes that disable various things, like windows updates and file indexing, location services, etc. My CPU usage is good (less than 4 percent) but the problem I'm having is Windows 11...

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    Within the last couple of years I recall a post that had a link to a utility that would optimize PC settings in Windows 10 and 11 to reduce CPU usage. I actually used the utility and it worked well. I just reinstalled Windows 11 and want to use it again. I've scoured these forums and for the...

    Remote PC randomly goes offline in Chrome Remote Desktop

    Thanks for the response. The 10 port POE switch separately connects to a different port in the Century link router and isn't between the router and the 24 port switch. For our purposes, it goes Centurylink router via cat6 to the 24 port unmanaged switch, with the 24 port switch then being...

    Remote PC randomly goes offline in Chrome Remote Desktop

    Running into odd issue that I'm trying to narrow down. I have 1gb fiber that runs from the ONT to a Centurylink C4000XG modem/router. From the Centurylink router, two of the ports are connected by Cat6 to two unmanaged POE switches. One of the switches is a 10 port POE switch that powers 8...

    Tree sap on sensor

    I have three Dahua turret cams mounted on a tree. The cameras have performed well but on one there's a noticeable drip of tree sap that is obscuring the image. Before I head up the ladder, are there any particular cleaning agents that folks might recommend that would be effective in removing...
