    Tracking airplanes with PTZ

    So I've been testing this on other Dahua PTZs I've got, and the script AI put together is able to control the camera and I've simulated a typical airplane landing scenario using the basic geometry of where I'll eventually install this if it all works, and so far so good. The camera moves...

    Tracking airplanes with PTZ

    So I've recently discovered AI's ability to make some really cool websites/programs. I've been designing some cool projects, and it's all going really well. So I asked if it could design a program to pull ADS-B data from aircraft overhead and command a PTZ to track it based off the ADS-B data...

    Andy I need your help picking a good camera to replace a hikvision camera with the dying dome

    My Dahua, Hik, and other brand cameras miss wildlife all the time. I don't know if that's something that could be fixed with AI, but I wouldn't trust any of my cameras to alert me to any kind of animal being in the area. I do trust my thermal cameras when they alert to motion - I know it's...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    12 hours later, and zero "no signal" errors! Wittaj, you may be a genius! Thank you

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    Well, I don't understand it, but deleting the camera from BI and adding it back seems to have resolved the FPS and bottleneck errors. Almost 3 hours and zero "no signal" errors and no timeouts or even a hint of problems, and I've been watching it the entire time. I had previously had the camera...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    I think I'm going to look at this next. Looking at the bridge, I usually have a signal strength of 80 and MCS of 8. Currently steady at 30 and 1, but we've got extremely heavy rain at the moment. I do have the dock receiver in a different position than usual because I'm having work done on the...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    Well, apparently I was smarter a few years ago than I am today, because I checked and this is exactly how I have it set up. I verified that I can take the router out of the loop and my BI PC still sees the cameras. I tried the Cody POE++ injector instead of the cheap amazon one, and there's no...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    All my switches are Mokerlink - yes, cheap amazon brand, but they've been flawless and I have several of them. I have the one on the boat dock plugged into a cloud power switch and that's how I cycle the power, so it actually cycles the power on that switch but that switch going down also cuts...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    I monitor this camera most of the day while I'm working, so I like to see full quality. Nothing should be bandwidth limited and CPU usage on my BI PC is 10% and no storage issues either. When you say I could be overloading the system and it can't keep up, what system? The PC is hardly breaking a...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    I have a Tyco / Illustra PTZ that I believe is a rebranded Hikvision DS-2DF8236I5X-AEL(W). There's something going on with it and Blue Iris. Most of the time, no issues, but then the stream will slow down and I get the error "Check FPS and key rates". Sometimes the error goes away and the...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I’ve had this happen but only when using the BI app or when I’m remotely connected to my BI PC from my phone or laptop when I’m out of town. I think it’s a lag/connection quality issue. It’s like it picks up the initial click to move the PTZ but it never sees the “unclick” so it just keeps...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Wish some of the cheaper brands would come out with a POE powered illuminator.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I wasn't really trying to compare the two PTZs with that post, just pointing out that supplementing IR can make the cheap Dahua PTZ much much better in the dark. I agree that the camera itself is just fine - it's the IR that makes it so weak in the dark. I have a few areas I feed deer and other...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Here's a picture of a raccoon I took with the SD4A with supplemental IR from the other camera. This is fully zoomed in and the raccoon is maybe 250' from the camera. I didn't take a picture of it without the IR from the other camera because nothing was visible lol. The second image is the same...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Tendelux IR illuminators seem popular on this page, but I've never tried one. You can get them off amazon. The laser IR is on this camera: https://illustracameras.com/india/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ISS02P7ONWIT_Illustra-std_2MP-500-m-Laser-IR-PTZ-Camera_ds_r01_a4_en.pdf I believe that's a...
