    The case for using the SSA backlight setting

    I have several new cameras from Andy and they are awesome! Tremendous upgrades for all my cameras from only 3 years ago. A new to me setting available is SSA backlight. My FOVs almost all include areas of bright sun and shade due to my surroundings. Selecting SSA seems to really improve the...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    It works reliably but it's just tedious to set the times month to month considering the different sunrise and sunset times throughout the year. The API calls allow you to automate the Day/Night switch based on the sunrise/sunset... daily. I ended up giving up on the API calls since using them...

    Zone settings help

    @wittaj I think I'm getting the zones better dialed in. Curious why it shows Motion_ABC when I'm using zone crossing B-C?

    I'll keep trying things. Would it help to have Zone A filled completely? That used to be a thing, right?

    Zone settings help

    It's a 54IR. The onboard AI misses as well. Turning the camera to the left won't help. Large shrubs completely obscure the street. However, this may be something self-inflicted. I spent this afternoon trying to use B-C zones and I'm getting zero triggers. For example, the zones below don't...

    Zone settings help

    I have a challenging situation. In the yellow area, I'd like to trigger/alert vehicles. It's a narrow window in the FOV. In the orange area, I'd like to trigger/alert people and vehicles. I typically use 2 zone crossing for triggers, but the vehicles are generally fast moving and I'm missing...

    Storing snapshots on a local NAS using the new GUI struggles

    Sorry about that @TonyR. I'm usually better than that on here and failed to like your previous post. Didn't realize @FletcherHubbards is a bot? I ended up not using FTP. Instead, the storage option from the Picture section in the GUI worked for me.

    Is a D1 sub-stream less accurate than the main stream for AI analysis?

    Both NRs to 40? Vehicle crosses the FOV and occupies around 25% of the view.

    Is a D1 sub-stream less accurate than the main stream for AI analysis?

    Would the speed of the vehicle be a factor? Would a higher bit rate help in that scenario?

    Is a D1 sub-stream less accurate than the main stream for AI analysis?

    Reason I ask is that I recently changed mine from main to sub and I'm noticing that I'm getting a higher percentage of "Nothing Found" from a camera that views the street and captures vehicles using the same version of CPAI and the medium model size. Thanks

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    OK, thanks. I tried that and it did change to night mode, but it also changed several of my profile settings for exposure, backlight, etc. which is not gonna work for me. For example, it changed the day/night profile setting to auto instead of black-and-white, so I can't really see a result by...

    So use this to change to night profile? http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.SwitchMode=3&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.DayNightColor=1

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I did a test on one camera by sending this command to it. Working Mode is set to Customized Scene. When I send the night command below, it doesn't change the camera to the Night profile. Any thoughts on what to check? I do get the "OK" response in the browser window. NIGHT...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Okay, I'm done. I can't get this new GUI to reliably switch Day/Night. Can someone please link the post by @bp2008 that explains how to get BI to do the API calls? Thanks!

    Anyone else having issues with the auto Day/Night switch in the new GUI?

    Thanks, I had to set up a schedule for my PTZ running the new GUI that didn't provide the auto switch. Setting up the schedule is not ideal, at least the way I did it. I took the sunrise/sunset times for each mid-month and used that. Would be really convenient to import these settings since I...

    Anyone else having issues with the auto Day/Night switch in the new GUI?

    Occasionally, I'm seeing cameras not switch to night mode. I'm running the Day/Night Switch Working Mode and the following Day/Night profile setting for both Day and Night. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    How'd you get the 54IR to work with the utility. I have a couple of 54IRs that don't change to Night automatically sometimes.

    I have analysis, paralysis on PC choice... Help please!

    @wittaj Okay, I think I have it sorted out now and things are working using the camera AI. Is there a way for the push notifications to state if it's a person or vehicle? I can do that with CPAI alerts.

    I have analysis, paralysis on PC choice... Help please!

    I'm testing and the IVS tripwire is turning red as someone walks through it. I made the changes in BI as noted, but no alert clips are showing up in BI for the test camera and I'm not receiving any notifications. This shows in the log file as well. 4/23/2024 4:27:12.760 PM Garage_Cam...

    I have analysis, paralysis on PC choice... Help please!

    Yes, the FOV for the cameras are all different. It's a large property. I haven't experimented with the onboard AI of the 54IRs. When I did try it on my 5442s, I felt like CPAI was better. I'm willing to test the 54IRs and see how they perform. I'll search for a thread that explains how to set up...
