    Need new branch

    I guess I would need PTZ's to get tracking -- wouldn't I? Would you buy a new BI or a new NVR if this were your project?

    Need new branch

    The meth-dealer from an adjoining farm just got out of prison and crime/vandalism is climbing. Time for a more cams. Currently have a 8 cams (mixed brands), Blue Iris on a PC and a NVR (5216-16P-4KS2E). I'd like perhaps: 1) 4 more cams with excellent, granular, tracking ability, POE 2)...

    Camera towers

    Hi all, Got one tower about 10 foot tall with 4 cams. It's hardwired to the house with 300 foot of cable. Need to build another tower perhaps 20 foot tall located about 900 foot away. I was thinking of relaying the 2nd tower to 1st tower using airMAX LiteBeams. So .... tower 2 signals -->...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    This looks like it checks a lot of boxes -- varifocal, low light lux, IVS. In this price range +/-, is there anything better in a turret?

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA not communicating with Blue Iris.

    License plate FOV at 325 feet is (I'm guessing) less than 10 feet. There is definitely some high strangeness with the ONVIF password. The second cam will not even give me option to change it. Maybe version differences? I feel better that you used a non-admin account for the ONVIF pass thru...

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA not communicating with Blue Iris.

    I went thru the find/inspect again and it changed the entry. The PTZ entry also changed. What presets in what pop-up window are you referring to? BI or Explorer? Please be explicit -- my eyes glazed over and I'm starting to drool -- this monster is beating me stupid. :-) I broke out a...

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA not communicating with Blue Iris.

    Ok... I went into the cam and ONVIF user. You were right, it did not accept my main password in the ONVIF user to "change" the password. I could not figure out how to change the original ONVIF password, even with the Dahua Config tool, so I created an additional ONVIF user and set the...

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA not communicating with Blue Iris.

    Uhm ..... where do I insert this rule hack data? I can't find any ONVIF headers anywhere inside the cam or in Blue Iris.

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA not communicating with Blue Iris.

    Everything looks ok pretty much ok inside the cam (needs fine tuning) so I believe it's right. I'll try to do this hack ...... Thanks.

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA not communicating with Blue Iris.

    Got into the cam with explorer and added the plugin. Went thru the settings and it appears that IVS is working ok inside the cam. Reading those trigger signals in Blue Iris is a horse of a different color. Blue Iris is set up to read the cam thru ONIVF. The triggers are reading ONIVF. Cam...

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA motion detection under Blue Iris

    Got it. Sometimes the brain can't follow simple instructions lol. Your work sheet was perfect. Thanks! Got a question: I saw a setting that said something to the effect of ....... "delay time to record". Any idea what that's about? I don't understand why someone would want to wait after...

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA motion detection under Blue Iris

    Lol. Thanks. Got the plugin running. Odd thing tho, nothing has changed in Deep IVS, Smart Plan or Video metadata. I wonder if I need a bios update on the cam?

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA motion detection under Blue Iris

    Thanks for all the detailed info! That was an adventure getting IE running. :) Now ..... IE is asking for "webplugin.exe". This machine is isolated with no net connection. Can I download this plugin and install?

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA motion detection under Blue Iris

    Hi All, I installed one of these PTZ cams from Andy. Went into the camera with a browser to set up motion detection. Looked under "Smart Plan" and saw options for "video metadata" or "face detection" but no presets were available. Selected "Video Metadata" and saved. Looked under "Deep...

    PTZ1A225-HNR-XA initialization?

    Hi All, Picked up one of Andy's PTZ's. It's a beast. I hooked it up the Dahua NVR and changed the IP but I could find no provision to set the password or other configuration settings. Took the cam to a switch and connected via browser. Unfortunately, I can't assess the config screens as I...

    New system

    Hi all, Looks like a new camera system is necessary. Planning on 20+ cameras, an intel hotrod and Blue Iris. For the computer: 1) What's the best value in an NVME motherboard? 2) Best value in a CPU? How much ram is optimum? 3) Are any used high-spec machines available -- off lease etc...
