    Help with Dahua 5442 night settings - share your settings?

    That's why I was having a hard time finding it then. The mode under Night is gray out, I can't change it.

    Help with Dahua 5442 night settings - share your settings?

    I had this set up pretty well at one point, but didn't save my config before messing with it again and now I can't get it back to the good state. Wondering if you guys can share your settings for night time. The camera is looking at somewhere that relies on moonlight and street lighting, no IR...

    confused about changes after upgrade - can't export clips, no timelapse,

    I upgrade my BI installation on 4/14 to 5.4.3.5. I'm wondering if some of the features got moved or if I'm mis-remembering where they were. Here's some things that seem different. 1. I have motion trigger 10 second videos videos. The clips tab shows each of these motion triggered videos...

    Have BI only grab camera image on external trigger?

    Hi, I have a wifi webcam as part of my camera system. I don't want BI to be streaming from the webcam all the time - taking up wifi bandwidth 99.9% of the time for only the 0.1% when I want to record something. But I do want BI to connect to the camera stream and make a recording when a sensor...

    how to queue for convert/export during certain times of day?

    The option to queue for convert/export seems to trigger only on size or clip age. Is there any way to get Blue Iris to only do this exporting/moving/converting during certain times of day? I'd like to have it move clips and convert to H265 only when I know the server isn't going to be busy...

    UI3 Tablet Recommendations

    Nice. I've been looking to a good way of controlling what gets shown on tablets based on events. I've investigated tasker, but couldn't figure out how to bring up specific cameras as an overlay over something like home assistant dashboards. I'm confused about which front end component is...

    Does Dahua firmware allow exporting configuration?

    Thanks! I was blind after all.

    Does Dahua firmware allow exporting configuration?

    I have a Dahua IPC-T5442TM. I couldn't find any place to save the configuration. Am I being blind or do they really not provide a mechanism to save the configuration?

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Wow, this thread and the politics thread are cesspools. The whole anti-mask, anti-science, anti-democracy thing is pretty abhorant. You folks are disconnected from reality.

    The $20 v3 cams from wyzecam - good night performance

    That's a great detailed comparison, super useful. Yes, POE would be much preferred to wifi, but it's amazing what Wyze has done with a $20 camera. It's worth watching what they do. I think the POE camera market is pretty stagnant with both pricing and technology and pretty limited...

    The $20 v3 cams from wyzecam - good night performance

    I don't have a Wyze v3, only a v2. I do have a Dahua IPC-T5442 (1/1.8") 4MP as well as a Dahua DH-SD1A404XB-GNR (1/2.8") 4MP. From the sample images that other people post, I think the image clarity/noise of the Wyzecam V3 very much resembles the 1/2.8" Dahua. Similar amounts of motion blur...

    The $20 v3 cams from wyzecam - good night performance

    That's why I'd like to see some head-to-head comparison rather than just assume or stick by some dogma about camera image quality. I'm open to new entrance in the market place to shake things up. That's actually a really good post. If you compare the Wyze v3 images, they're way better than...

    The $20 v3 cams from wyzecam - good night performance

    I'm pretty impressed with the images I've seen other people capture with their v3 Wyzecams at night. I was hoping there would be a direct head to head comparison between something like a 1/1.8" Dahua/Hikvision POE camera and one of these wyzecam v3. https://i.redd.it/chnqpynqj2661.jpg I wish...

    PTZ camera w/ a decent sensor size (1/1.8")?

    Haha, I thought it was funny you just mention that as a solution like it's no big deal. Cameras are aesthetically not great, even for someone who wants to monitor stuff. A couple here and there is alright. One at each corner of the house isn't a great look.

    PTZ camera w/ a decent sensor size (1/1.8")?

    I guess I'm ok with ~400 range. Really just looking to pay for the features I want rather than pay extra for things I don't, like high frame rate. I was hoping for them to thread the feature set a bit more.

    PTZ camera w/ a decent sensor size (1/1.8")?

    haha, wow. Is that really as close as it gets to the a reasonably priced 1/1.8" sensor? Dahua has 1/2.7" PTZ for $170, but if you want 1/1.8" sensor, you have to hop up to $1k+? Those WizMind series are super high frame rates though, so totoally different class of hardware. I just want a...

    PTZ camera w/ a decent sensor size (1/1.8")?

    Can someone recommend a PTZ camera that has a decent sensor size? A lot of them are 1/2.7", like the Dahua DH-SD1A404XB. When I compare night time shots from the DH-SD1A404XB to my IPC-T5442TM-AS that has a 1/1.8" sensor, it's a huge difference. Looking for something in the same price range...

    It's interesting that the way Trump references people is being echoed, but in an even weirder way. I get that you don't like the guy, but what's with that? I don't get it. I'd like to hear more about these statistical impossibilities. Where are you guys getting this information from?

    Dafang hacks cam - how to configure Blue Iris

    I have a Wyzecam that's using Dafang Hacks firmware - basically a RTSP camera. I can access the stream via VLC using a URL like this: rtsp:/192.168.x.x:554/unicast VLC will ask me to provide username and password, then show me the video and audio stream. Works fine. When I tried to setup...

    Camera temperature?

    I had posted a question about being able to view Dahua camera's temperature. Most microcontrollers can report temperature of the internal chip, and I thought Dahua might've exposed that somewhere. I tried using ONVIF device manager, but it didn't show it under the events. Is there somewhere...

    I'm interested in where this information comes from. I think one of the traffic stops a few years ago in Minnesota had a black man killed by a cop because he told the cop he has a gun (just giving the cop a heads up), and then boom! Cop shoots him dead. Like, man, what a reaction. Where...

    Has there been other ethnicities being choked to death by police? This seems like a very singular way of being killed by police. I look at it, and it's kinda weird. I think shitty things happen to other minorities too, but I don't hold the BLM accountable for fighting those battles too. Seems...

    There's so much in that post to unpack. There are blacks who own black slaves...and also black people who captured other black people for slavery...so we should just be OK with cops choking out black people today? And if you're not a product of slavery, you have no grounds to "rally against...

    So...what are your guy's recommendations for black people and their supports? What's your ideas for how they can address police violence? How do you think they should react when a cop chokes them out like what happened to George Floyd?

    How minimize wind noise?

    I have a turret camera (IPC-T5442TM). When the wind is blowing, the audio portion of the camera feed gets pretty garbled due to the wind noise. Pretty much like someone blowing into a microphone. I have the audio settings for the camera set to enable noise filter, but I don't think wind noise...
