    Camera reset activating Dahua motion detection

    I hate to bump a thread that is 2 years old.. but this issue seems to persist for me - does anybody know if this was fixed? I will deploy the above fix in the meantime, perhaps this bug resurfaced?

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    I was originally using a 60 second wait w/ Preset call in the alert dialogue which seems to work fine (I enabled the wait to be cancelled if the cam was retriggered) but noticed that in this tread a few folks were talking about having the cam return to 'home' automatically after specific...

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    Yep - no motion, granted I just set this up over the past few days and still trying to figure out a handful of aspects on this but this feature in particular is not working. I am thinking if preset 2 is called from BI and the camera does not move on it's own it will not trigger the 'idle'...

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    Is this working reliably for you? I have my SD49425XB-HNR set to return to Preset1 after 1 minute of idle motion and it doesn't seem to work. What is everybody else doing to reliably return their camera after it has completed tracking OR has failed to detect anything after a spotter has...

    Need Interior garage cam recommendation for Frigate/Home Assistant

    Okay - I suggested the tools he needs to calculate the FOV & also suggested that he could use a vari-focal cam which addresses the uncertainties in the FOV. A PTZ would be overkill in this situation as it seems like he is only looking for a spotter/observer cam. Regardless, I don't think it is...

    Need Interior garage cam recommendation for Frigate/Home Assistant

    Agreed for the most part, but that camera is a 1/2.8 sensor where the 5442 is a 1/1.8. The night performance will be comparable, but I didn't realize he was looking for a PTZ, seemed like he was looking for a simple overview cam that will be able to trigger an HA automation

    Need Interior garage cam recommendation for Frigate/Home Assistant

    2.8mm gives a fairly wide field of view, you can use IPVM Calculator to verify https://calculator.ipvm.com/ The varifocal will give a slightly wider view when zoomed all the way out. If you're fine spending the extra money that is a good option because you can really dial in the field of view...

    Recommended VLAN routers in 2023

    I love my PFSense machine but the learning curve is relatively steep and screwing around with a router and losing internet connection (and thus your link to all of the outside world's answers) is scary sometimes haha

    Need help replacing heart of existing system

    +1 to wittaj - I would also say that if you have a 'workable' level of technology know-how you will benefit from using Blue Iris/PC. Additionally, you'll be able to use most of us here as a resource to help you troubleshoot etc as most here run a Blue Iris/PC machine.

    SSD -> internal HD -> USB external HD?

    One other point - if you want to keep 2 months for specific cameras then I would run a rough calc and see how many cameras you should put on drive 1 so that that drive fits 2 months of footage, then point the remainder of the cameras to drive 2. Or something similar. There are several ways to...

    SSD -> internal HD -> USB external HD?

    Try here >> Anyone used a USB 3.0 connected external Drive for Video storage? For recording to 2 different drives you would set up your 'Aux 1' (or other folder) to record to your 2nd drive - then under recording settings for each camera that you want to record to the 2nd drive you would set to...

    SSD -> internal HD -> USB external HD?

    You should not be writing any footage to your SSD - the only thing that should be written to the SSD is your DB I'm assuming you're using USB 3.0? I think there is a thread floating around here (quite recently actually) discussing the use of an external USB drive. I would suggest you not move...

    Question about SD49425XB-HNR longevity outdoors

    Got it - @EMPIRETECANDY would be able to give you the quickest answer about whether SD49425XB-HNR can do 30 FPS at 1080, or is it limited to 25FPS - I won't get into my system for a few days to check

    Question about SD49425XB-HNR longevity outdoors

    Hey there - I have this camera and it is awesome - I can't recall if it bumps up to 30FPS at 2MP. Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to record at 30FPS?

    Looking for assistance with IOT segregation on Unifi APs and EdgeRouter-X

    Agreed w/ @The Automation Guy I personally use PFSense paired w/ ubiquiti switches & access points. I will say that for the most part having a separate IoT VLAN is very easy, but there are some steps you need to take w/ your firewall & router to ensure that your IoT devices are still...

    ipcamtalk Conversation Function

    You can filter using 'first message' instead of last post which will accomplish what you're looking for - you may have to go DEEP to find active threads that were started a long time ago though - I think the current setup functions more like email where your 'newest' replies appear at the top of...

    Advice need

    Hi there - take a browse through this thread https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/point-to-point-wireless-bridge-recomendations.69257/ You'll likely use a point to point device to provide service to your kitchen cam which will then be wired to the point to point device (or switch).

    how to mount with metal chain doors?

    Underneath that overhang is perfect, as close as you can get to face level to Identify is where you want to be. If you're trying to just detect or observe then higher is okay

    Be Careful with CodeProject AI 2.1.0

    I failed to include in my config - I have it set to 10GB limit but in this situation I use a day limitation which corresponds to the amount of days of storage that my BI holds. So my Alerts folder is actually only 89MB even though I have limit set to 10GB. When I add cameras or storage I...

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    Totally agreed - great points - I do think that a camera surveillance system can also function as part of a security system. Many car dealerships etc etc use their surveillance systems to trigger their security system when there are unwanted visitors at night on the lots, etc. It is all about...

    If a (Dahua) cam SD card or NVR gets stolen, how secure is the footage?

    No - my SD cards are not encrypted. I have SD cards in all of my cams, none of which are easily accessible and the ones that are are all 'watched' by other cameras to detect tampering. If a thief has managed to steal any of my cameras then my system has already failed catastrophically and the...
