    Husband being sneaky

    When the recording shows a light in his pocket, the camera is in IR mode. It only switches over to "day time" when he turns on the light. As a result, the light you see in his pocket may very well just be an IR light from his cell phone (most modern cell phones use an IR light for face ID)...

    Glitch switching from sub stream to main

    Thanks everyone. That’s interesting experiences. Unfortunate that BI doesn’t seem to make much of it I set all cams to h265 with I frame matching FPS with CBR. we’ll see if that helps tomorrow. Thank you.

    Glitch switching from sub stream to main

    When I’m viewing cameras on my mobile I notice sometimes before it switches to the mainstream it shows a random clip from a saved video or early time in the day (as shown in this video). It doesn’t happen all the time it’s just sporadic. Any idea how to prevent this?

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I’ve never been able to get BI to do motion alerts on my RCA doorbell. I gave up and just use the app now

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Disregard. After failing on my iPhone 11 and my wife’s iPhone X we tried the iPad and the iPad formatted in a way that displayed the actual WiFi ssid and it worked. Seems like a pretty bad app fail

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi all. Having trouble re-adding my RCA doorbell with the app. Everything seemed normal but when I go to select WiFi it just says “WiFi” I assume that means it’s taking the name of the WiFi I’m currently on. After proceeding, the bell says it is not an ideal WiFi environment and may impact...

    LPR Setup SUCCESS with HFW5241E-Z12E

    obviously buying and mounting another camera is a solution. I think you missed the point. And this camera has a 1/2.5 sensor which isn’t far off from that. I can still pickup paper plates but without the beautiful clarity of reflective

    LPR Setup SUCCESS with HFW5241E-Z12E

    As you’ve noted - paper plates and old rusty plates are much more difficult to capture which is why I have brightness a little high. Also I can’t do anything about people not having front plates. Smh.

    LPR Setup SUCCESS with HFW5241E-Z12E

    Sorry I guess it’s the eggnog. But I’m actually running an IPC-HFW5831E-Z5E My images are about the same but I am much farther away from the target and my zoom is maxed out. I’ll attach some examples

    App to access snapshots on Micro SD card?

    Hello all (merry Christmas!) I use DMSS on my iPhone to view recorded motion alerts on my Dahua cams. But recently I switched to just having it take snapshots instead of videos. I don’t actually see a place to view snapshots on here, just my old video recordings. Do any of you recommend a...

    I’ve seen people talk about that on this forum. Is there a post that goes over the “how to” on that? thanks for the idea

    IPC-HFW5831E-Z5E - Focus reset on reboot

    Can't seem to find an answer via search so i apologize if this has been covered. On my IPC-HFW5831E-Z5E, everytime it reboots (from power outage or weekly reboot) the focus will switch to auto instead of the setting i had it fixed at. This is a problem since its an LPR and all the fuzzy video...

    Discrepancy in size of one hour clips

    Thank you BP I appreciate the link too. I never realized how much quality I was missing. I do record continuous and decided to increase my bit rate to about 4x what I had it at. Incredible increase in quality and detail and I have plenty of hard drive space and CPU to spare. Thank you

    Discrepancy in size of one hour clips

    thank you that makes sense. What do you believe quality setting should be? I believe mine are set at “3” or somewhere in the middle.

    Discrepancy in size of one hour clips

    I suspected there was a simple answer I was overloooking. Thank you for this. I have all of them set to VBR but a cap of “4096”. Should I increase that ? I suspect if it’s lower than that I will lose some clarity

    Discrepancy in size of one hour clips

    Hello all and thanks for any help. I have almost all of my cameras recording one hour clips. Most of them are set to different resolutions and FPS but they all seem to record one hour clips at around 900mb. Example: one camera records 20 FPS at 4MP resolution no audio and the clips are...

    iOS app constantly not connecting

    Same problem as op for me for the last couple years but on and off. Recently I haven’t had the issue for almost six months. Now it’s back. I didn’t change my router so it must be something with my ISP maybe changing addresses. I’ll have to spend more time looking at it this weekend. But it’s...

    Dahua LPR settings?

    We’re using a Dahua IPC--HFW5831E-Z5E I’m using it as an unofficial LPR in blue iris and was hoping maybe someone has some preferred night time settings to capture plates. I’ve attached a pic of my current settings and the result (which by all means serves the purpose and works) but there’s...
