    Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras

    Ah, ok, thank you. Yeah, I was expecting auto tracking with the camera following the motion, but kind of knew it wouldn't work with animals. At least I have realistic expectations now. Wow, that's actually very impressive it catches animals that small (even if it is hit and miss). With BI...

    Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras

    Thank you @tigerwillow1 for this entire thread. So if I'm understanding correctly, the best workaround for reliable onvif alerts (IVS triggers? Not entirely sure what I'm talking about lol) for animals from Dahua cameras is to pick up 1-2 older T5442TM-AS cameras and flash an older firmware on...

    Best PTZ Camera options? (Could be a -treat yourself- budget)

    Love it, thanks! and somehow I can work around the Dahua cameras ignoring animals? :rolleyes:

    Best PTZ Camera options? (Could be a -treat yourself- budget)

    Hi, I'm looking to order a few more cameras including a PTZ. (Going even bigger than I was expecting with Andy's sale this weekend!) Budget is conceivably <= $2,000 (if it's worth it). The camera will be used for recording/tracking animals in the backyard (without light at night, but with...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Of course all I had to do was mention how well it's been working for it to start happening again. lol

    Blue Iris UI3

    On my computer it's actually been good since I re-enabled hardware acceleration, I've seen the green flashes on my phone (in the mobile Chrome browser, not the BI app) a couple times but can't screenshot that as easily/quickly.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Lol of course it's good right now no matter how many clips I try to watch! I'll try to get one tomorrow though lol

    Blue Iris UI3

    FWIW, even after turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome and relaunching the browser, it's still occurring for me (remotely via VPN) and my mom (who is local on the LAN). Happens with both the HTML5 player and javascript. 1440p. I'm not sure what other info would be helpful. Thanks!

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hi, just as a bug report, I'm still getting occasional green screens when viewing alerts in UI3 version 223, Blue Iris version: 5.6.0.11.

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    Nice, thank you for the reply! As a quick suggestion, the one animal I was hoping for that's missing from the animal models, would be a moose. Any plans on adding it? (Although I suspect there's a good chance it would be flagged as a Horse at a minimum lol.)

    IP Cam Talk Custom Community DeepStack Model

    I see on @MikeLud1's github there are two custom model projects DeepStack-Security-Camera-Models and CodeProject.AI-Custom-IPcam-Models. It appears like the CodeProject.AI-Custom-IPcam-Models has been updated more recently? I'm currently using DS not CP, are the CP pt models backwards compatible...

    Suggestions for a "trail cam" camera system?

    Wow! I don't even know how a (mountain) lion got into the neighborhood Good luck with your cameras!

    Suggestions for a "trail cam" camera system?

    Yeah, 3x 5442 (and a 5241). I'm only using BI to check for motion. I saw that Dahua wants to cut down on animal false alerts, so no ONVIF triggers are set up. Which is unfortunate because I hear the camera AI is very good. Lol thanks for the advice. For now I mounted the straps with just a...

    Suggestions for a "trail cam" camera system?

    I believe it lol. When we pulled the ethernet cable through we also pulled a string with it, once the cable was all the way through we used the string to pull the (stronger) pull-string back through the conduit to leave there for future use... Haha I've been taking this project one step at...

    Suggestions for a "trail cam" camera system?

    A month an half after posting this thread I've got (the first four) cameras installed! Here are some pictures of the process... I've got motion detection and Deepstack setup (and seemingly working). Within minutes of turning the cameras on, Blue Iris missed a groundhog under the...

    5.5.8 - June 13, 2022 - Code Project’s SenseAI Version 1 - See V2 here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/codeproject-ai-version-2-0.68030/

    And that applies to installing MikeLud's custom models too?

    5.5.8 - June 13, 2022 - Code Project’s SenseAI Version 1 - See V2 here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/codeproject-ai-version-2-0.68030/

    As a completely new BI install, should I jump into the SenseAI beta testing? or go through the trouble of setting up Deepstack just to likely switch in the future?

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    I almost did buy that one but when I saw that Dahua had their own version, I figured I "trust" (maybe) their version to be more compatible with their cameras lol... The fact that the PFT1300 isn't waterproof is unfortunate, but we'll make it work in a junction box. Actually I just received...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    Lol not exactly. One camera, possibly also powering 2 IR Illuminators. The other two cameras were on their own dedicated cat6 cables (without the need for extenders). On the plus side, if I need a PFT1200 60W injector all of a sudden those IR Illuminators might have sufficient power I'm...

    Grounding remote cameras?

    Yeah, I think I'll talk add a voltage regulator before the UPS as well. I know it won't really help surged from the cat6 into the house but they do lose power pretty regularly too.

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    haha ok, I could add a waterproof junction box below the PFA1300, thank you That is unfortunate if it does require the PFT1200, I was hoping that was for the ePoE distances...but we'll see, if I need one I'll get it. I also thought these cameras wouldn't hit 100 Mpbs by themselves.

    Grounding remote cameras?

    Thanks for the help, guys. And just to clarify, the total distance of the longest camera is 475'. Google Maps kind of confuses matters noting the 100-ft increment hash marks, that make it look like 300'+400' individual runs instead of 100'+ runs they are in reality. No, nothing like that.. For...

    Grounding remote cameras?

    Lol you talk about lightning and the rest of this stuff and it's terrifying. Lol my #1 priority is to not burn my parents house down. #2 is try not blow up the computer I just built for this project. And #3 To a lesser extent the cameras and switches, etc. But in the end the cameras and even the...

    Grounding remote cameras?

    Lol so after @Teken literally put the fear of god in me last night regarding lightning strikes, I'm just wondering best practices I can do at this point. For reference I reattached the diagram of my underground run(s). I have bought unshielded cat6 and PVC conduit but have not installed either...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    Spending money isn't really an issue lol...I just need to be pointed in the right direction. I got two of these PFT1300 extenders directly from Andy. They're not outdoor rated but are designed to be installed inside (the waterproof) PFA130-E mount. I finally stumbled on this Netgear switch...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    Back on the subject, I am not really not finding many/any consumer grade PoE+s that meet @Teken 's advice of total watts/ports >= 30W. The only one on the suggestion list I'm seeing is this one: IPCP-8P2G-AT - 8 Port POE Plus Switch W/ 2 Gigabit Uplinks which would be exactly what I'm looking...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    Sorry, I know this is not really the correct thread for this discussion but thanks for the help. The total distance of my farthest camera is only approximately 475' (Camera 1 switched locations a little bit from my original diagram.) Whoops a little typo in that quick diagram...technically...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    2 questions, 1. I wasn't clear on running low voltage like that along side unshielded cat6 in the same conduit run? Any interference issues? I saw you mention that in another post to someone else and considered it 2. The one run is long enough where I'll need the PFT1300 extenders anyway (at a...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    I ordered a NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Switch (GS308PP) before finding this thread. Now I'm concerned it wont deliver enough power for my needs. Eventually I may want to run a IPC-B5442E-Z4E and two IR illuminator's using PFT1300 splitter/extenders on a single CAT6. I can't...
