    LPR camera placement

    I painted the casing of my Z12 to match the house color, so as to not make it stand out as much. If you mount the camera on the tree then you can maybe paint it brown to match the bark. Another idea is to place a small plastic fake branch on top of it, to blend in and hide. Update: Something...

    Rekor recording plate more than once

    Where do I find 'motion detection' in the client? Update: Ah, found it in the very front, not in the advanced settings.

    Questions from a first-timer.

    I like the idea of Ubiquiti Nano Stations for securely beaming LAN over the air. They have a discontinued and reasonably priced model still available on AMZN, but they require local power. So if you have a detached garage but with local power then these internet radios would be ideal...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    The specs on my own Z12 say power consumption is 3.2W, and 10.3W with IR on. In my daytime configuration, I have the illuminator set to "ZoomPri" at 100%, and am consuming only 3.63W. The PoE splitter says the max. is 8W per device, while the splitter itself consumes <=3W. Hope this helps.

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    I have a 16 port 150W PoE managed switch. The 5.7W is the value seen on the one switch port itself, so both cameras and the splitter together are only drawing that amount. Correction: I was looking at the wrong switch port. Here's a list of the PoE power on each port. 12.59W: PTZ SD49225T-HN...

    180 degree driveway view ?

    A good general plan with PTZ is to use a spotter camera which when triggered for motion causes the PTZ to move to a preset.

    180 degree driveway view ?

    Another option besides a PoE switch port is to use a non-PoE switch port with an additional PoE power injector.

    New camera with some questions

    One of the nifty features of Blue Iris is the ability to clone a camera. That way, with one camera you could have different rules for motion detection, and video and jpeg storage. Be sure to check out the BI videos on the Blue Iris forum...

    Need to replace entire system for LPR and overview

    With my HFW5241E-Z12E at maximum zoom, and when vehicles curve around the street and are facing the camera at about 130 ft., I can peer into the vehicles on video playback and can see basic characteristics, albeit only when the lighting is right.

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    Thanks, Tibbar, my PTZ is now at version "2.600.0000.2.R.R4.2510.9A.NR, Build Date: 2017-09-05" Wondering if there's any firmware update beyond 2.60 which will allow this model to do IVS tracking? I see that I had to change the PTZ settings within BI to "Dahua New V4" for the PTZ functions to...

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    Okay, I looked in my file storage and do see this RAR file from December 10, 2018, not sure if this would be one of the missing files . . . "DH_SD-Mao-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_IVS_V2.623.0000000.7.R.1811242" @Tibbar above said the upgrade path is to use the 2.60 before the 2.62 or the 2.63.

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    My take is that Dahua abandoned support on this particular model. Would have liked to see if any later and valid firmware updates had provided IVS tracking capabilities before they stopped support.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    Thanks, TVille, the PaleMoon 32bit on Win10 works well with my older PTZ. Now I just have to figure out IVS. Update: Alas, my older PTZ's IVS does not support tracking.

    MSIE has the same issue which Holbs documented. The plugin shows the live feed but floats over the web controls, making it impossible to set up IVS.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    So I tried to set up IVS today in my 5 yeat old Dahua PTZ, and of course the video feed never worked within the browser. So I tried to download the required plugin (NACL). Nothing happened in FF. So I tried Edge, and nothing, but then I realized it was a Chrome extension. So I downloaded and...

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    I'd like to update my SD49225T-HN PTZ cam as well, stuck with the original 2.4.22 version. Hoping to find a way to view the live feed within the web GUI in order to try the IVS setup. Update: Sent Andy an email asking if he happens to have any links to 2.62 and 2.63.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    So I am receiving this Amcrest AD410 later tonight, to replace the inimical Ring Pro, which has been next to useless in responding to doorbell presses via their app. I don't want to block the internet as I wish to use the Amcrest app. I also want to integrate it with BI and possibly HomeSeer...
