Zyxel Switch
Hope nobody gets pissed about me waking a sleeping thread, but while I was on the forums I figured I should add that the switch was very noisy. It contained (get ready) 6x 40mm Delta screamers... no wonder it sounded like an aircraft carrier! I originally thought it only had 3x 40mm fans (that I...- truglo

Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here
In Blue Iris/camera preferences/PTZ/custom html commands, try setting the zoom-in button for the camera to something like: /cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=adjustFocus&focus=0.071429&zoom=0.5 That should get your camera to zoom half way when you hit the zoom-in button. You may have to play... -

Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here
Yeah a modern dvr (or vms) setup doesn't care about ntsc or pal. Those only come in to play if you use analog signals (older cctv style setups with coax etc...). -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
Good idea... it would be convenient for users to have a short list of api commands with equivalent values for the popular fixed lenses they can refer to in a first post. Seems worthy of beimg a sticky thread. -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
hmm, the webui slider implementation may be using 2560, but the Dahua API takes a float in the range 0.0-1.0. You can interpolate the 0-2560 range to 0-1 and use the camera's web interface (I like this math approach, hehe... please share the working equation if you do that), or you can use the... -

IPC-HDBW5231E-Z / IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 Night time power consumption
My smartswitch says my Z pulled a peak 5.5W, and my Z5 (similar consumption to Z12 I believe) pulled a peak of 10.8W. Both I suppose could pull more while zooming in/out; my switch allocated 30W for each camera so I'm not too worried LOL. I would go off of the camera specs though, then you... -

Troubles trying to set up new Dahua HDW5231R-Z
hoomag, sounds to me like you haven't seen the webui yet? The config tool is neat, but it's also a blackbox when it comes to troubleshooting. So let's ditch it for now (you found the IP, which is the only thing the camera 'can't do itself'). If you're certain both the PC and the camera are on... -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
It could be tested by sending those input values then measuring the resulting viewing angles. Even better if it can be compared to actual viewing angles of a fixed lens camera. I have a 2.8 fixed and a variofolcal, but given my install it would take me some time to move them around for... -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
Good question... I'm not 100% sure what the answer is, but I will take a stab. The Dahua api takes a range of 0.0-1.0, with 1 being max zoom, and we will assume the software and hardware are linear. Let Fmin and Fmax be the max and min focal lengths, F be the actual focal length of the lens... -

Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE
How about zooming in? From the specs on Andy's site: Z: 2.7mm ~12mm motorized lens, 97°~34° ZE: 2.7mm ~13.5mm motorized lens, 101°~31° According to the FOV angles the ZE should get both wider and narrower than the Z. From the pics on the first page it's hard to tell (the zoomed in photos look... -

Christmas lights creating problems... found a fix
The colored led strands do seem more bothersome to me than others, and I agree it seems the shorter wave colors are worse (blues and greens). My eyes are dark brown, 20:20... and I'm middle aged. As a hobby I fly small 150-200mph remote control pylon racing aircraft, and I have no problems with... -

Christmas lights creating problems... found a fix
David, I knew that was coming but last night I was just too lazy to grab images from the server. The proof is up now. :) tangent, excellent reply. The camera in question (Dahua starlight variofocal turret) has firmware that does not support 'Anti-flicker' for some strange reason... or there is... -

Christmas lights creating problems... found a fix
Some of us may run in to an unforeseen dilemma during the holidays... that perfect spot to string the Christmas lights puts a few bulbs right in front of a camera lens. In my case I have some cams mounted under the eves, and lights hung 2' away on the ends of the rafters. Four of the bulbs were... -

Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here
The dahua api does have a manual focus and zoom function. I had issues with autofocus when switching between day/night modes; autofocus gives up (times out) before the exposure settles in after switching modes. This left my cameras out of focus. To fix it I programmed my vms system to send the... -

Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API
LOL Darkflame, I like your avatar! You could try something like this. Dahua API v1.56, page 52: SetAlarmOutConfig http://<ip>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&AlarmOut[port].Mode=<paramValue> -port = Alarm out port index starts at 0 -paramValue: 0=auto, 1=force on, 2=close alarm Kevin -

Trigger blue iris with IVS?
I did spend some time using highlighted motion in BI to tweak object size and sensitivity. I stopped playing with them after I got 'em down to an extra trigger or 2 only on very windy days. A guy could spend the rest of his life working toward zero false positives; for some situations that's... -

Trigger blue iris with IVS?
I tried playing with this using ODM with my 5231r-z (July firmware ...14...). I turned off motion so the cam is only using IVS. Under ODM 'metadata' it shows some info regarding the IVS messages, but they do not appear in "Events". Seems wierd ODM seems to find the IVS rules but fails to get the...
