    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Have not looked at HA as another possibility. Settled on Hubitat and it does what is needed.

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Have only used on the Hub. However, it would be worth a try to use Power Shell or any program that can send the URL as a "send HTTP get". Started with ST some time ago but switched to Hubitat as did not like the dependence on the Cloud for ST. Thus have not tried ST for any Dahua HTTP API...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Glad to see it is working. Did it also work when your user/password is included in the URL? That part will be needed if using Hubitat. On a Windows computer if the user/pass if not included, then the browser will pop up a login field. OK for testing but not for Hubitat use. The next step is...

    Paiberfunk: Let's back up and see if you have success with the following URL. It obtains information from the camera and displays it in a browser. http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=All To use change the user, password and camera IP to your...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Yes, the API changed for Web 5 cameras. Some functions were added, removed and changed. In looking through the API, there does not appear to be any references to switching modes from day to night and back again like in the Web 4 cameras. Thus the approach of changing the schedule to simulate...

    My night identification when there is movement is terrible - I have a 5442T-ZE

    This FOV works well for plate ID. As stated above, one camera can not do everything. If interested in plate ID's then one camera must be dedicated to that function. At night, in B/W, the camera uses IR to light up the plate. Without any vehicles in the FOV the image will be totally black...

    [Resolved] PTZ - How to Control Auto Tracking On/OFF With a Schedule and Presets

    When using the camera GUI there was not a working solution to disabling Auto Tracking and retaining IVS triggers. It is possible that one or more of the following is the cause. 1) Improper setup of camera GUI on my part 2) GUI was never designed for this function 3) A bug in the GUI for...

    Current Stable Release for BI?

    Thanks for the update version number. That is exactly what is done. Download on the net connected computer and then placed on the BI machine. They are 3 feet apart. Too bad the sneakers are in bad shape as they have trouble making that long jog over to the other system!! Will have to write...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    An example for Web 4 cameras for switching day/night modes that is run by Hubitat. Also can be checked by using a web browser. Using FireFox on this end for checking. If it runs, the result will display an OK. If not, an error message. Sunrise...

    Current Stable Release for BI?

    Using 5.9.07 and its time to update to a newer stable update. However, the BI computer is 100% isolated from the net and the BI update functions does not work without the internet. Did add a DEMO BI install to another computer thinking that was the solution, but that will not display any...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    If you are referring to the camera user/password, then that is placed in the URL for authorization purposes. Also, for sunrise/set use a LUX sensor through Hubitat in place of local rise/set times. Both work but LUX takes care of the cloudy days. The Hubitat apps get a little long with 27...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Yes, also found that using a monthly time based system is not very good when the times shifts almost 6 minutes per day at its peak. To solve that issue, use an API that changes the schedule on a daily basis based on local sunrise and sunset times. This is run in Hubitat as it takes care of the...

    Where are the focus & zoom controls in the new web interface?

    See that you have bumped into the new Web 5 interface. House > Live > Bottom left side of page Just expand the zoom & focus and the setting will show up. To get an accurate reading for both set the zoom and focus speed to 1. Then mouse over the round dot at the end of the slider for your...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    If it is a Web 4 camera there is an day/night switch utility that works well with BI. If a Web 5 camera then many use the built in day/night switch that is set in the camera GUI to switch day/night modes based on available light. Another option is to use an API HTTP GET statement to switch the...

    EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X looks awful on webUI

    The exposure settings most likely will not address your issue. The items of interest would be compression, encoding and sub stream settings. Below find my encode settings used for the PTZ. Also make sure that in BI the record setting is set for continuous sub + triggered. Have also...

    Add a siren into NVR DS-7616 NVR

    Find out what the current and voltage limits are for the alarm output on your NVR. Some use a NO SPST internal relay for switching applications. Often these are dry contact. Other times they provide power say 12 VDC at 200 mA. A SSR (solid state relay) can be used to switch on/off an...

    IPC-HDW1320S - Poor image at night

    ^^^^ Plus the sensor is too small at 3 Megapixes. Adding a lot more light either visible or IR would be one solution. But in most cases not practical. Some will say it would would work well with 'stadium lighting'. One could also lower the shutter speed (if adjustable) to 1/10 second (100...
