    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    I think it's because of daylight saving time or something, need to check - i have a feeling the camera time is one hour behind. So night mode is kicked in now an hour later. Please see video of a motorcycle that came by.

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Please see the attached video, it's actually a car pulling out of the driveway slowly but as you can tell the image is not very clear of the plate. Now in terms of having no detection through Unifi AI port at night, that seems to be an issue others have noticed. Still I would like to be able...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    So the daytime features are working amazingly well with the AI Port on both the Dahua PTZ and Dahua camera serving as an LPR. As a previous poster on the previous page shared the Unifi is not picking up anything in night mode at all. No alert/trigger/etc. Seems like others have reported the...

    Thanks - is this focus speed section to adjust? I just found the speed that you and Flintstone61 were referring to I believe.

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Thanks for the help. I’m running into some issues with nighttime capture—no detections are being sent out, and during manual review, I can see the car headlights, but everything else (especially the license plate area) is just a blur. Quick question: where can I find the manual focus speed...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    Got it - so Protect will trigger its own notifications then based on it's setup? I have been trying to figure out in this Dahua the difference between AI setup, Alarm (Enable), and then Video Detection (Enable), and Smart Motion Detection (Enable). Right now the only thing i had set was the AI...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Ok this seems to be frustrating i set the night mode to 60Hz and then the picture remains at that B/W contrast. Now few minutes later i go back in again to view it's switched to 'Outdoor' anti flicker type view. What I think is happening is it is switching to the Day view and that is what is...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    I just set the Anti-Flicker to 60Hz and it went away, thought now i see the grass as a high contrast B/W. Let's see how plates look - the shutter automatically went to 1/120 by the way if i set it to 60Hz

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    You know whats interesting until you wrote about capacity, I was wondering i never saw the 'Pair' option next to the other Dahua. Now when I went to the device on the Unifi dashboard, i see capacity was like 1/3 or something like that, i then clicked manage and now was able to associate the...

    Yet another Rekor Scout price increase to $12 per camera

    Thanks - signing up for it to try. What’s best connectivity option you would recommend? As you have been helping me a lot? Very grateful for it - the Dahua I setup I was thinking on the record or snapshot feature if I should just store it to a NAS or Cloud then use those pictures to push to...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    Thank you - I will have to look up if I can setup Rekur Scout OpenALPR to complement the Unifi setup with that camera. Now one thing I noticed is when i connected the AI Port it only allowed AI detection one third-party camera. I believe it was suppose to be for up to 3 non Unifi cameras...
