    Damn neighbor's Christmas lights on their front tree...I gotta re-tune it now. :banghead::lol:

    Sweet, thanks for the link! I'm not sure yet if I have any without lights...right now I have to manually click through PSS Lite and just look for a car. I need to set up events/alerts or something but I haven't sat down yet to figure that part out.

    Oh sweet, I will look for that. I am connected to a switch, and do have a 24/7 PC.

    Oh cripes that is lame. :facepalm: I appreciate all the help so far. I see now where I see people running scripts to work that out. I'm running a Hikvision NVR, not BI, so that's not in my future I don't think. Just have to update the schedule now and then?

    Night settings seem to be dialed in pretty well. Interestingly it's the same car from the first capture up above haha. Crop:

    Not quite getting the automatic day-night like I should be seeing. Am I in the right modes? I don't quite understand normal vs day vs night. I thought when it went from "Day" to "Night", it'd go to my very dark night profile, but it went to the lighter "normal" profile which isn't what I want...

    It's close...readable, but still dialing in.

    Can still pull from quite an angle. Need to dial in the night settings...but need more cars driving by haha...but I'm close. Cropped: Looks great sitting there.

    I don't know WTF changed. It works now from everywhere...I'm not sure if doing a few "Default resets" did it or what...I'm lost...More PFM? Minor adjustments for now:

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    Yeah all the other settings look like they are working fine on it. I have tried using Chrome, Pale Moon, "Edge in IE mode", and straight Internet Explorer. I have not tried going through the NVR...thought I read that all the changes should be done locally on the camera. Inside the NVR itself I...

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    Yeah it is. Figured I'd just keep rolling in the same thread with it since it was the same camera. Hit "Default", all it seemed to do was wipe out my configuration settings. Still in the camera though.

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    Worst camera ever! :lol: Won't take me long to throw my settings back in there and change the IP. Is that the same as clicking "Default" under "Default" menu to reset to factory configs? Or something specific on the physical camera I'd have to do...

    Weird. Current settings: Created user admin2 and saved it. Auth. List is set to all. Relaunched IE and logged in with admin2. Getting the same deal logging in with the new account.

    Sweet! OK I'm in IE...still same thing...

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    Ugh. I'm running Edge in "Internet Explorer" mode...not sure I can still get my hands on IE can I? I also tried Pale Moon which is supposed to be the closest thing I thought.
  16. Dave88LX

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    I will just add it here while we have the conversation going... Both Edge-in-IE-mode and PaleMoon. Can't access these settings. Dropdowns are empty. The audio is also garbled garbage. If the answer is a firmware update I will. When I was reading on this forum, a lot of people said "don't...

    Thanks I will give these ideas a try. Making some adjustments to my night-time settings to see if I can grab plates. I'm getting close, need to do a little tweaking. And yeah Tony, that's an awful place to park it. Especially the way cars come around that corner...begging for something bad to...

    I had it in my house for probably 3-4 years haha. I believe I opened up the SD compartment to look in there at some point, but don't recall it "not" sealing properly if that makes any sense.

    Dang. It came back at night. It looks like it's in the outer-most glass. Not sure how it's all put together. Ugh.

    Running cabling "out" through vinyl siding, and up the exterior for mounting location // Street view location

    OK got it finished -- thanks for all the help along the way! Part of me wanted to take 1/4" off the top curved section of conduit to help straighten that up, but the rest of me said I'll never look at it again and it still looks better than everything else that's installed there LOL.

    OK well thankfully that fog cleared up...let's hope it stays gone! I'm zoomed in as far as I can go with this cam for LPR, hopefully in dark it's still enough to capture plates.

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    Yep I just made the adjustment, I should still be able to grab them. Just need a car to drive by now LOL

    IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 - Condensation circle inside lens

    I appreciate all the advice everyone. Interestingly, and hopefully it continues, it's starting to get better. Can see that the haze is now in the upper left corner of the field of view. This is going to be for LPR so I need the middle clear. Currently it's at max "out" zoom. That truck never...

    Well that really sucks that it happened due to something during insulation. Thought I could just put it up there. Unfortunately this lens I don't think will ever see sunlight either unless I take it down.

    Picked it up a bit along with some other gear from EmpireTech, but just now got to installing it; it's just been sitting in a box. It's dark out right now, but upon inspection, it appears to be condensation... Any ideas? So sad right now after getting it installed. :embarrassed:

    Remote (off-network) connection to my Hikvision NVR...public IP is CGNAT IP

    Basically my service provider is not giving me a real public IP, but a private 100.x.x.x address behind their CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT). Wireguard would need a public IP to work. I could have asked them for a public IP...but this worked well so I didn't dive any further into it with my...

    Best use for IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE cameras // Will it be OK in conjunction for "overall" view dedicated LPR camera?
