    Dahua PTZ DH-SD50225U-HNI should audio over IP be available?

    I'm in the process of commissioning this camera before it's mounted outside at the rear of the property, this camera it looking like it's a no for audio over IP. Manufactured in 2017-07 the camera has audio in and out wires which I assume are analogue. BI hasn't found IP audio, neither did VLC...

    New to me Dahua camera already initialised

    I went for the reset button and Dahua Config still reported the camera was initialized. Choosing the web interface this did require me to set a new password, so I'm satisfied. I've got to choose next which firmware to update onto it now, Dahua's older or Andy's latest. So it looking like...

    New to me Dahua camera already initialised

    Some while ago, probably 2018 I bought a Dahua PTZ DH-SD50225U-HNI probably on eBay UK. Everything checks out as new and unused, the label on the box, camera manufactured in 7/2017, properly packed and all appropriate accessories. I'm now getting round to installing it at the rear of our...

    Advantage to running individual cables to NVR vs POE switch and using a single cable back to the NVR

    Reference was also made to safety when choosing to use the NVR's POE or using a network switch with POE. I didn't spot anyone mention the small in-line power bricks that often are required to supply 12v or 24v to larger PTZs. A while back I saw the failure rates for domestic electronic equipment...

    CCTV, any need for cooling on NVMe memory?

    My HP EliteDesk SFF W10 BI manages 6 cameras ( perhaps 2 more added later this year) has CPU load often less then 15% (thanks to me overcoming HP's grip on my Intel graphic driver install process). I seem to remember adding a thermal conductive pad between the NVMe and the mobo, all sorted then...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    Andy posted only in May 20th 2020 "Here is the latest new firmware for these models This new firmware is a important update, Please try to update asap." I've yet to understand hand and have explained why the imperative, why was this in effect a must have firmware update.

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    I am reporting a success today using Dahua Easy unbricking / recovery over TFTP on a Dahua varifocal DH-IPC-HDW5231R-Z. I know I should have resisted a firmware update, the camera had been working well for 18 months but I thought I'd go for a modest update, there seemed too many issues with...

    Do you have a PTZ autotracking camera, good or useless?

    bigredfish, I'm interested in your reference to having "spotter cameras" being linked to a PTZ's autotracking, as far as I'm concerned this is a possible game changer. So the spotter cameras get triggered by an event and send in effect a signal to the PTZ saying, "hey PTZ camera turn to look...

    Do you have a PTZ autotracking camera, good or useless?

    Despite the received wisdom on here that PTZ, and PTZ's cameras with auto tracking aren't being recommended, nevertheless does any member include one of these auto-tracking PTZ cameras in their CCTV system and use one successfully, dare I say it recommend to others on here a camera with this...

    View Dahua camera's rtsp stream with Raspberry Pi omxplayer

    Sorry but no, my CCTV activities have been on hold for many many months, my new RV has occupied far more time than I ever expected, then we've had Covid-19. Currently I happy running 5 cameras feeding a Hikvision NVR and W10 BI. That said I'm now scoping out the installation of camera 6...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    Further progress, I've now got digital zoom working on my PTZ camera with the PTZ Enable box ticked in Camera Settings>PTZ/Control. BI is now on 5.2.7.1 Further good news, I tried Intel Hardware Acceleration and it's working, OK it's night time, CPU is 12%, previously it didn't work and CPU was...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    With the Clips I've just noticed digital zoom works in the normal way, but not on live camera views. Progress, thanks fenderman. I've got digital zoom back, for one fixed camera so far, more when I've changed other cameras' settings. For a specific camera, looking at Camera...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    No change, Not much to update with W10, just the mostly daily "software removal tool". I'm back on BI 6.2.61 x64 (4/29/20). Mouse looks to be ok, changed to a different mouse, and different USB port, no improvement. So if I zoom-in it's zoom into the centre only, with no ability to then move to...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    So it does seem that I will have had this feature, ie digital zoom. I'll update and reboot both W10 and BI.

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    Not been on here for a while, BI has been working and what with other things etc. You'll understand. If I use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in, that's all I get, zooming into the center. Shouldn't I then be able move to the left or right, using the left mouse button depressed? Obviously I can...

    IP Camera With HDMI Output

    An interesting development, even better along with the HMDI output if it was also fully IP POE network capable (to connect to BI or NVR), and was waterproof enough to be used outside, it would make a good front door/ back door camera, allowing the placement of a small monitor by the door, or did...

    Elite Desk 800 power question

    On certain HP products there are things in the Bios like Remote Management Capability, AMT, Intel Management Engine (ME) and other software stuff. I accept the Wake on Lan, but saw too the possibility that even with your PC apparently powered down it is not switch off, as in the accepted meaning...

    Multiple hard disks

    Whilst I read in the Forum many contributor's giving advice that the db goes on the SSD, New on the Hard Drive, this is not what is written in the BI manual. My copy of the manual BI 5 Page 72 has, "Although New and Database should remain on your fastest storage possible because of frequent...

    Video Stutter

    Can you be 100% sure of the integrity of your network connections? You seem to be suggesting you aren't sure of the live feeds. I recently had an video issue caused by a powerlink connection, I'd been cleaning around the network switches and NVR and I must have knocked things. I suggest that you...

    Do you really need a NVR with a small deployment

    $349, are you getting a discount to promote them? Even my 8 camera Hik NVR was cheaper. You got money to burn?

    So what's your playback routine?

    In the mornings I review the triggered clips on the PC running Blue Iris. Mostly I see where the local tom cats transit our property, my aim to reduce false alarms, their aim to hunt and spray their "scent" on our vehicles. This aside, I can see if need to adjust the cameras' trigger...

    Intel Driver Availability

    I would like someone to confirm which current Intel Graphics Driver will deliver to me working QuickSync on Blue Iris for my HP Elite Desk 800 G3 i7-7700 (Kaby Lake), onboard HD Graphics 630. From what I read, Intel are switching from a more direct process of Driver updating using an .inf file...

    What settings have you used to prevent rain causing triggering in Blue Iris, whilst having settings sensitive enough to respond to significant events?

    Connect camera to NVR via powerline adapter?

    The powerline adapters I've seen don't have POE. It would be news to me if there were any, but it doesn't mean there aren't. POE is a niche market for those with CCTV. It's a matter of sales volume, would a manufacturer recoup their outlay? Only one camera, then use a power brick plugged into...
