    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Switches from Day 2 Night

    Nope it is actually switching to Night. The light outside today is pretty consistent. It makes no sense what so ever.

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Switches from Day 2 Night

    I don't know what I did (if anything) but today this camera randomly switches profile from day to night. I can not find anything in the setting that would cause this to occur. It appears completely random. Any idea what is happeneing and how I stop this?

    Camera Misses Snowplow

    I saw your post and my first reaction was, ":rolleyes:Seriously?" Then I saw your location. :)Not exactly snowplow country. Anyhow... In much of Canada (& most likely NE states) a blue flashing light means snowplow. When the plow is clearing it may be the only thing you will see. Apparently the...

    Camera Misses Snowplow

    I have my EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 for over a month now and can count on one hand missed motions/events. I am just blown away by how it can detect correctly identify a person walking down my dark street and, as far as I can tell, never miss an event. I am aware of only 2 cases (out of...

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    Thanks everyone for all your comments and suggestions. After looking into this "problem" it appears this has been ongoing for much longer than I thought. Lots of cancelled alerts going back a week incorrectly labeled with "Nothing Found" each were triggered by either the IVS rule for Trip Wire...

    You record directly to SD or network and not via BI?

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    The tripwires are only there so I can record any activity in front of my home and on the street. The directions is important for my own vehicle. When I cam home in either direction I will not trigger an event until I pull into the driveway .What you are suggesting would cause the trip wire to...

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    Well, I am sure broke something. Everything still works fine but without the object identification. What frustrates me is that it used to work before I decided it needed just a few more tweaks. :angry::lmao:

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    I was playing around with IVS & tripwires using Web V5 for my IPC-T5442T-ZE. Only minor changes to an existing set of rules. Well, I must have broke something and I have spent hours trying to find a solution. Any trip wire event triggers fine, BI processes it passing onto CodeProject.AI which...

    New Trigger While Previous Trigger Still Active

    Bear with me as I try to describe what I am trying to do. I have a trip wire and an Intrusion IVS rule setup for my IPC-T54IR-ZE camera. Each of these rules will fire a BI alert when triggered. The "problem" is that if one rule is triggered shortly followed by the second ruled being triggered...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Never mind. This is NOT the way to go. I should have looked into this a bit further and even though the above will (inconsistently) work, @wittaj has found a much better solution here

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    My problem is that the only way I could get this to work is use the Dahua utility Profile Management utility once then this url worked fine (Via BI, Hubitat Hub or browser address bar, etc) http://use:[email protected]/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=0 and it...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Can anyone tell me where this app comes from. I downloaded an app (General ConfigTool V5) from the Dahua site but it certainly doesnt look like this.

    SOLVED: EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Recorded Video Mostly Unviewable

    I am cautiously optimistic that the new settings you provided above fixed my issue. I have never seen recordings from this camera this smooth during playback. :)I will reserve my final opinion until tomorrow and see how well the night time alerts/recordings play back. As far as storage, below is...

    SOLVED: EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Recorded Video Mostly Unviewable

    Made the changes you recommended above. Now we'll just have to wait and see. PC Specs below. I have 13 cameras running (mostly Reolink). My CPU % is very low 9%-18% most of the time.

    SOLVED: EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Recorded Video Mostly Unviewable

    Solved by @wittaj , see post 3 I installed the above camera about a week ago for most part all is good. One major exception is trying to view recorded video. The playback often stalls for as long as 10 seconds, plays 2-3 seconds, stalls again. This appears to be worst during night time...

    BI Alert won't Fire

    This is part of the ONVIF Events Help describing the Memo field Memo/label (optional) this will added to the alert memo in the database, and may then be used as a “required AI object” for alert actions. If left blank, a combination of the contains and attribute fields for the event are used as...

    BI Alert won't Fire

    Can anyone explain why the alert shown below will not fire eben though the motion event is triggered? If I leave the Required AI Object field blank it works fine. According the the BI help file the Memo/Label field is what should be used in the Required AI object field. This is not working...

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE and Blue Iris Configuration

    Thanks everyone for help me through this. I have everything pretty much running pretty good for now. @wittaj I think you are right about need (or not need) to see the image text. With the combination of IVS rules and BI ONVIS triggers I pretty much got what I need. This camera is awesome. Maybe...

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE and Blue Iris Configuration

    Well, I have this working like a charm. I haven't completely tested the two different options you mention above but for now I am sticking with the IVS rules. One thing I haven't figured out is how to determine what triggers the rule (i.e. vehicle, person) without the use of CodeProject.AI (or...
