    camera w/ IR off until motion

    If the camera has an alarm out it could be possible to trigger that function to turn on an external IR lamp. However, the issue of how the camera responds to the added IR plus image stabilization time, in relation to when the image is taken, would be of concern. Even with this setup, it...

    camera w/ IR off until motion

    If you were to pursue this, then first determine the amount of power used with the IR on. Then measure the power when the IR is turned down to a level that will still produce accurate triggering but perhaps a not so good image. Then see if the power saving difference is great enough to...

    5442-ZE upgrade for better identification at longer distance - Z4E vs Z12E vs ANPR?

    Some other camera considerations that might fit your needs. HFW-5242H-Z6E-MF 8mm - 48mm 1/1.8 2 MP HFW7442H-Z4-4MP 8mm - 32mm 1/1.8 4 MP These are both "set and forget" zoom. For daytime use a dedicated LPR camera, depending on FOV, can be used for both plates and face ID. However, at...

    Corner Mount Bracket Installation Best Practice Advice Request

    This works well for a flat non corner mount that takes advantage of using the existing studs (16 inches OC) for a secure mounting bracket. The 4 carriage bolts were used for the PTZ and left in place after PTZ removal as they can only be removed if the entire mount is removed.

    Corner Mount Bracket Installation Best Practice Advice Request

    For mounting a heavy PTZ used a piece of 3/4 inch painted outdoor plywood. A piece that is 22-24 inches long and 6 to 8 inches high are the general dimensions. Place over two studs and use 2 lag screws on each end to secure to the center of each stud. For the metal bracket use smaller bolts...

    Amazon Driver Training Required

    Tried to, but ended up in terminal chat hold!!! Amazon also does not support mp4 uploads only the standard still image uploads. Not overly concerned with the post, but it would be great if the driver was contacted and corrective action taken on Amazon's part.

    Amazon Driver Training Required

    Good catch. Hopefully it is a backup cam. But they are only as good as the person behind the wheel. In this case it is a he. Perhaps a recent hire to boot. The license plate is easy to read. Interesting that it is licensed in Nevada and not Alaska.

    Amazon Driver Training Required

    Guess it time for the installation of backup cameras in Amazon delivery vans. Bet that there are additional Amazon driving examples by other forum members. Original video export from BI reduced from 80 megs to 3 megs, sharpened, color corrected and cropped in Shutter Encoder.

    Door Checker

    It was warm last night at 20 F. But had been in the single digits and lower for most of the week. He did check most of the cars on the block then went across the street to check more. Did not stop by our place as there is a lot of outside lighting that seems to, at this point, discourage...

    Door Checker

    Door checker at 4 AM Monday. One would think that with a van marked as "Locksmith" with large letters would not be a prime target. Dahua HFW-5242H-Z6E-MF (8-48 mm -- 1/1.8 -- 2 MP) B/W with IR. Video from BI at 60 megs reduced to 2.9 megs with Shutter Encoder.

    Dahua 5442T-ZE at 70-100 ft - tuning limit or upgrade needed?

    T The 5442 is a set the zoom once and leave it at that setting once the desired field of view is set. A PTZ however, is designed to follow, zoom in/out and focus without operator intervention. Dahua does have a number of cameras that are designed for PTZ use. They are much more costly than...

    Anyone understand how the BI Time Lapse setting work

    Another option, for a future project, is to use Blue Iris to capture a JPEG image every minute as an example. Or on a time schedule of your choosing (m:ss.s) in place of the built in BI time lapse function. These individual JPEG images can be placed in the 'stored' BI folder in the 'record'...

    Audio Over IP, Use Camera Or Another Way?

    In the US it is called a 70.7 volt system although other voltages can be used. Used in PA systems to reduce power loss with long interconnections between speakers. The older systems used tapped transformers to set the power level to each speaker. Set some at 5 watts with others at 30 watts, etc.

    Anybody try Visible Wireless for cell phone provider?

    If you are looking for 'cheap' try US Mobile. They are a reseller with a choice of carrier using the major 3 firms. They also have plans for those that need data. In my case, our yearly cost for a cell phone with US Mobile is $72 per year all taxes and fees included. Only use unlimited talk...

    The image does not show the road into the development across the street. The driver had their turn signal on and was making a left turn into their subdivision access road. The other driver was not paying attention (IMO) to traffic conditions.

    Alaska Bumper Cars

    Just a bit slippery on Friday. Snow and rain are never a good combination. The only thing injured were the cars as the posted speed limit is 25 MPH. A number that most folks in Alaska perceive to be only a suggestion.

    Alaska Snow

    Thanks Andy.... This is using an older Dahua 2831T-ZAS-S2 in color both for day/night as the deck has a light for night use for the snow video. Folks in Alaska would think that 30C is WAY too warm! Here is a short video of high school kids leaving a school bus at -4.4 C (24 F) on their way home.

    Voice from Audio extraction

    With Audacity one can expand the time line and select a portion that has background noise and remove it. Plus it is one of those free programs. How it compares to a high cost commercial program is unknown on my part. www.audacityteam.org Avid would be a commercial product and most likely an...

    An option to VLC, and in my opinion easier to use, is Shutter Encoder a free program. It also has some basic audio processing built in. Drag the mp4 file into the box and select the desired audio file output. Audio Files Supported WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, AC3, OPUS, Vorbis, Dolby...

    Voice from Audio extraction

    It would be nice if there was a check box to discard video and retain audio when exporting from BI. As noted above, one solution is to export the video with audio and then extract the audio from the mp4 file using another program. If the selection is large, then the time required for BI to...
