Is it possible to enable/disable In-camera event detection through external command (http, onvif, etc) ?

Is it possible to enable/disable In-camera event detection through external command (http, onvif, etc) ?
I have a Raspberry that I could configure to monitor the status of my old alarm system so it would know when the alarm is enabled or disabled. What I'd really like to do then is have the Pi send a command to my Dahua cameras to enable or disable their in-camera event detection based on whether... -

Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions
So if I want the only available IVS functions I have (intrusion and tripwire) to work, I have to "turn on the light bulb"? Should I have a "global settings" tab beside the IVS rule config tab? Or maybe I don't because of limited IVS functions I have? -

Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions
I don't get it. My "Smart Plan" menu just has a single large button / icon (the light bulb). No other buttons (not even any grey'd out buttons). So I have no idea what turning on the "light bulb" (ie making it orange) and then hitting "apply" is supposed to do. -

Face Detection, IVS, Heat Map, Smart Plan Setup Questions
I picked up a couple IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 cameras (one with 3.6 and the other with 2.8 lens) and have these questions about "smart plan" and IVS: Smart plan Big square light-bulb icon that when clicked will toggle between orange and grey color. No settings, no idea what changing the color... -

Why is it that when I buy a pair of Dahua cameras - with different lenses - one has IVS and the other doesn't?
Yes, thank you. Disabling the smartcodec did activate the IVS menu options in the web interface. -

Why is it that when I buy a pair of Dahua cameras - with different lenses - one has IVS and the other doesn't?
Back in 2016 I bought a pair of 4mp turret Dahua cameras. I think they were 4431, China-market with hacked firmware. They were identical except one had 2.8mm lens, the other had 3.6 mm lens. When I got them I found that one had all the various IVS detection features, the other didn't. Fast... -

A few basic questions about IR lights
A few years ago when I bought some 4k Dahua cameras direct from China I also bought some IR lights. The housings were half-spherical, about 2 or 3 inches in diameter, some had a face full of small regular-sized LED's, others had 4 high-power led's with lens in front of them. Both types of...- sumguy

Dahua's Main Competitor Is... Dahua!
I've got a few IPC-HDW4431C-A that are about 3.5 years old now and they get the job done. I'm sort-of in the market for a few more cams - I'm curious about this "active deterrence" thing - what is it, how does it work? Also, are there any cheap 2 to 4 mp cameras that have IR motion-sensor... -

HDW4431C constantly trying to contact a china IP address
These are cameras that I want to be able to access from a few remote locations without using VPN. My ER3 router is blocking the camera's internet access from all but a very small set of IPv4 locations. I take it then that there is no known legit reason (ie some config setting) for the camera... -

Vstarcam G96 - anyone know anything about these?
I picked up something today (yes, I bought 2 cameras today) called a Vstarcam G96 (also for $30 CAD). It has no ethernet port. It's kind cool - it has bidirectional audio (build-in speaker) and SD card slot. When it's powered up it acts like an open wifi access point. So I connect to it, and...- sumguy

Swann SW-Viewcam (need to change language from Chinese to English)
I picked up something called a Swann SW-Viewcam today (for $30 CAD) from a local retailer that sells a lot of "refurbished" electronics. The camera is spec'd at 720P and it looks like the older D-Link DCS-9XX cameras. It has an SD-card slot (which is nice). I see that it is referred to by...- sumguy

@mat200 - I posted a reply in your thread. I'd still like to know why any (or all) of these hi-rez cameras go to B/W at night with the IR filter switched out. One possible reason - in a night, low-light situation you may have mixed lighting (white led, incandescent, florescent, etc) and the... -

Was that video taken with the Amcrest camera? The one you just bought? The date in the video is Jan 2017. Lots of ambient light - I don't know if that's really a good test of a starvis sensor or if you'd really need one in that situation. PZT is nice, so is zoom, but what use is it really... -

HDW4631C-A or 4433 or 2MP Starlight - what to buy?
> It does have a filter. It is simply not mechanical - it is always on. So at night, using external IR lights will have no effect then. And the IR filter is making the camera less sensitive to ambient light then it otherwise would be without the filter. -

I can't believe the 4239 doesn't have an IR filter for daylight use. What super-sensitive CCD chip is there that doesn't need an IR filter for outdoor daytime use? Can they actually color-correct for that without an IR filter? -

I have removed the fixed IR filter on a cheap webcam and it is true that in normal room light and (even more) in outdoor daylight the colors are screwed up. But in an outdoor night-mode situation, there obviously can't be any natural IR light to screw up the colors (unless there are lots of... -
