    IVS Global Calibration - Detailed Questions

    Unfortunately, the basic understanding of Dahua algorithms for IVS are not known by anyone except the Chinese software guy sitting in a dark hole somewhere. Dahua needs to make more algorithm info available for the user, instead of everyone guessing what is best way to setup their camera. It...

    Dielectric grease

    I have worked in the electronics industry for 35+ years, and there is always some type of sexual connotation associated with descriptions. Maybe that's what kept my interest?

    Dielectric grease

    The main purpose of dielectric grease is to keep contacts from corroding/oxidizing and act as an insulator for high voltage applications. You should use other methods to keep water out of connector, so you don't need to "glob" it on. Theoretically, you only need a few molecules of thickness...

    Dahua TiOC 2.0 - Human Detection

    Try making your intrusion box a little smaller so the camera AI can identify the target Before it crosses the boundary line. I also always reboot the camera when I make IVS changes.

    Neighbor's Fence Gets Hit

    I don't know how your mailbox is still standing with all the stuff that happens at that intersection. That guy with the flashlight probably distracted the driver and caused this whole mess. I liked how he waved to the driver as he drove off. "Come back again"

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Thanks for the response Brian, but I like to keep things as simple as possible. I will use the "General" profile and let the camera photosensor change the modes. I always liked using your utility to change all the cameras at once. I had problems with older versions of cameras constantly...

    SMD settings

    Deselect both human and motor vehicle, then it will trigger on any movement within the sensitivity setting. You may want to use IVS instead of SMD.

    Grab and Run at LV store

    So much for that security guard at front door. They know he cannot do any thing, and just run him over. The Dems just condone this and it will only get worse. Get ready for even higher inflation. Bring back vigilantly justice.

    Close Focus distance IPC-T5442TM-AS 6mm (IPC-HDW5442TM-AS)

    There are various FW versions out there for smart IR. I do not use smart IR because the latest versions of smart IR do not illuminate my areas enough, or I have multiple cameras crisscrossing IR light paths in one area and I don't want to blow out those cameras with the others IR.

    Close Focus distance IPC-T5442TM-AS 6mm (IPC-HDW5442TM-AS)

    I have a 6mm version and find there is still very good focus at 1m. You will probably have difficulty with IR at this distance.

    120 VAC 850nm IR Light, E27 Socket

    I have used the tried and true 12VDC 4 LED IR lights around different areas for additional IR illumination. They worked well to supplement the cameras IR lights. I have a few areas I needed supplemental illumination for existing cameras, and too far from outlets or POE cabling. I found these...

    New user trying to figure out an affordable POE-based Blue Iris system that doesn't use companies like Dahua, Hikvision or Reolink

    I have run across lots of people like you over my life time. You procrastinate and cannot make up your mind on most things, even if your life depends on it. I don't think you will buy any thing, and if you do, you will return it. I feel sorry for any of the vendors you do business with. When...

    Looks like the same one in previous video. He is still licking a wound (or problem area) on his right side. Strange to see him just laying around there.

    Probably just looking for some old people to help

    I have to ask, do the residents of the neighborhood ever see these videos? Do they make any comments? Hopefully they know that they have a system that costs less than a commercial installation, and it is 10X better. BTW, send $ for more cams. I enjoy the entertainment!

    That's when he thought he would outsmart you and put on his mask and BS hoodlum hoodie. They need to outlaw those things. They only serve One main purpose, this day and age.

    Probably just looking for some old people to help

    Good video. I guess he could not find any old people. Do you place "Video Surveillance" signs out at the entry point? Not that it would do any good.
