    Dual router blues

    The Orbi router was my primary router from which my Blue Iris server and all wifi devices were set up. It was great because the ethernet cable from the ONT went right to the Orbi. With the CenturyLink service change, the ONT must now connect to the CenturyLink router and the Orbi plugs into a...

    Dual router blues

    The CenturyLink router has an option to disable the NAT in its configuration interface. I'm trying to do this remotely, through, and when I tried disabling that yesterday my system went offline and I had to have someone physically go to the computer and enable it again.

    Dual router blues

    My new ISP (Quantum Fiber/CenturyLink) recently did a new install on my home and now, unlike prior CenturyLink fiber setups, the ONT now has to go through a CenturyLink router before getting to my Orbi router in order for me to get Internet access. There is no way around this as I've tested with...

    Comment by 'Billyjack5' in media 'Double-NAT configuration for Blue Iris remote access'

    Appreciate the response, bp2008. I'm still a bit stuck. The IP address of the Orbi router 192.168.1.1 and the "Internet Port"--also referred to as the "external IP address" in an Orbi configuration menu, is 192.168.0.4. In the CenturyLink router I've forwarded external port 8000 to...

    Comment by 'Billyjack5' in media 'Double-NAT configuration for Blue Iris remote access'

    I acknowledge in advance that there is a simple answer to this question, but here goes: Due to a new fiber service in my area, my primary router (an Orbi752) is now behind a second router, which is a newer CenturyLink router (no way around this dual setup). So I've got the dual router setup per...

    Dahua wireless series

    Thanks, that's helpful. There's a 12v power source at the existing location and I'd like to run a powerline adapter with an injector but the cat5e will just be too aesthetically intrusive for this application, hence my desire to use the 12v cable as a power source which is very well hidden. The...

    Dahua wireless series

    Does anyone have any hands-on experience with either of these Dahua wifi cameras? Wireless Series I'm well aware that wifi cams should be avoided if at all possible but for this particular application I don't believe any other option exists. I will be covering a smallish area (20x30 feet)...

    Any improvement in the vehicle make and type fields?

    Well, that's disheartening to hear. Does the new firmware make any improvements at all?

    2022 Latest New Dual-Channel Camera

    I assume I have the US firmware that came pre-installed when I bought it from Andy. The plate recognition is great, it's just the vehicle type and description that's lacking. There's a newer firmware version that Wildcat_1 is testing that I'm waiting to hear about. Unless what came pre-installed...

    2022 Latest New Dual-Channel Camera

    Just watching the footage, the metadata vehicle description info appears much more accurate than my ITC237, but then again, I assume the footage was taken in Hong Kong where the algorithm was tested, hence the accuracy. My 2021-07-19 firmware pulls a lot of Tatamotors and Daihatsu vehicle...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Thanks, Wildcat_1. Would be interested in knowing if the vehicle description info is any more accurate in this version. I get a whole lot of Daihatsu and Tatamotors on the 2021-7-19 firmware I'm running.

    Does the Amcrest AD410 take 24V DC?

    Apologies. I meant to communicate that my AD410 is hardwired to a 24V AC transformer.

    Mine is connected to a 24V transformer and it works fine.

    How is the new firmware working for you? I see that you are now on the 2021-07-19 version.

    Bosch IR illuminator

    I figured you'd ask. For this project I'm using the 2mp 25x positioning camera, PTZ1A225-HNR-XA.

    Bosch IR illuminator

    You're probably, though I suspect the Axon illuminators are a few notches above as I've spoken to Doug there (as others here have) and he's explained how they manufacture them and the conditions that they test them under. I'd sure like to find something cheaper, though.

    Bosch IR illuminator

    I am wondering if anyone has tried Bosch IR illuminators, specifically this one: https://resources-boschsecurity-cdn.azureedge.net/public/documents/IP_IR_Illuminator_50_Data_sheet_enUS_26632806155.pdf While about twice the cost of a comparable Axon, this model allows for adjustment of the IR...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I'm running this camera with a capture point of 87 feet and about a 30 degree angle and while I get decent captures, I'm maxed out at the zoom the pixel per plate are less than recommended. At 110 feet I don't believe there would be enough zoom and that angle would be too extreme.

    PTZ illuminator and soft focus issues

    While were are on the topic of APIs for PTZs, is there a comparable API that will switch the PTZ into day or night mode? I'd prefer to do it through Blue Iris so that I can set the switch relative to sunrise and sunset, as opposed to keep having to adjust the schedule function. What I'm seeing...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Were you able to get the camera working? When you use IE, are all screens black, even when you are in LPR config mode? If you are able to check the video settings, check to make sure that its encoding is "CBR" not "VBR". Mine was set to VBR and the camera wouldn't display the stream after a...

    PTZ illuminator and soft focus issues

    Appreciate it wittaj, that was indeed the issue: the near light and far light couldn't together exceed 100, but I can set near light to zero and far light to 100. My capture point is right at 400 feet so my guess is I'll need to snag a 10 degree Axton illuminator, but I'll see how this works...

    PTZ illuminator and soft focus issues

    I'm running two PTZs that I purchased from Andy, a (1) PTZ1A225-HNR-XA (running V2.810.0000001.3.R.P9.2520.UN.NR, Build Date: 2020-06-08) and (2 ) a DH-SD6CE445XA-HNR (V2.812.0000005.4.R.P9.4512.UN.NR, Build Date: 2021-09-02). I'm playing around with them to use for long range LPR and both have...

    The only browser that I have found that displays the various windows correctly for this camera is Chrome using the IE extension.

    I didn't format the card when I reset. It worked fine after and the card remained compatible after the factory reset.
