    Change Day Schedule on Dahua IP Camera via Dahua API

    These links can be setup to change the monthly schedule to a daily schedule based on your local sunrise/set. However, that requires the use of some external programming to send that link to the camera via an HTTP GET statement as a daily update. Have been using a similar system with a Hubitat...

    Cameras and browser

    If a POE injector or 12 VDC supply are available then power up the camera and use a Window's laptop to view by entering in the assigned camera IP address, user name and password into FireFox. This will indicate if the cameras are operational using the most basic of setups. If that should fail...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Did try to increase the down angle for the DB ReoLink camera. It looks like it will take about a 30 plus degree angle to show the top of the deck (floor) for package viewing. Overall, it makes for a very strange looking installation. The camera would stick out about 2 inches from the top with...

    Zerotier android bug in latest update

    Tried both TS and ZT to view UI3 (Blue Iris) with a BI Windows machine 100% isolated from the internet. Could not get ZT to work, but TS does work using the phone on data or local WiFi to view UI3. Used an GL-MT3000 router with both of ZT and TS installed as it allows TailScale to be used on a...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Have not looked at HA as another possibility. Settled on Hubitat and it does what is needed.

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Have only used on the Hub. However, it would be worth a try to use Power Shell or any program that can send the URL as a "send HTTP get". Started with ST some time ago but switched to Hubitat as did not like the dependence on the Cloud for ST. Thus have not tried ST for any Dahua HTTP API...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Glad to see it is working. Did it also work when your user/password is included in the URL? That part will be needed if using Hubitat. On a Windows computer if the user/pass if not included, then the browser will pop up a login field. OK for testing but not for Hubitat use. The next step is...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Yes, the API changed for Web 5 cameras. Some functions were added, removed and changed. In looking through the API, there does not appear to be any references to switching modes from day to night and back again like in the Web 4 cameras. Thus the approach of changing the schedule to simulate...

    My night identification when there is movement is terrible - I have a 5442T-ZE

    This FOV works well for plate ID. As stated above, one camera can not do everything. If interested in plate ID's then one camera must be dedicated to that function. At night, in B/W, the camera uses IR to light up the plate. Without any vehicles in the FOV the image will be totally black...

    [Resolved] PTZ - How to Control Auto Tracking On/OFF With a Schedule and Presets

    When using the camera GUI there was not a working solution to disabling Auto Tracking and retaining IVS triggers. It is possible that one or more of the following is the cause. 1) Improper setup of camera GUI on my part 2) GUI was never designed for this function 3) A bug in the GUI for...

    Current Stable Release for BI?

    Thanks for the update version number. That is exactly what is done. Download on the net connected computer and then placed on the BI machine. They are 3 feet apart. Too bad the sneakers are in bad shape as they have trouble making that long jog over to the other system!! Will have to write...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Current Stable Release for BI?

    Using 5.9.07 and its time to update to a newer stable update. However, the BI computer is 100% isolated from the net and the BI update functions does not work without the internet. Did add a DEMO BI install to another computer thinking that was the solution, but that will not display any...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    If you are referring to the camera user/password, then that is placed in the URL for authorization purposes. Also, for sunrise/set use a LUX sensor through Hubitat in place of local rise/set times. Both work but LUX takes care of the cloudy days. The Hubitat apps get a little long with 27...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Yes, also found that using a monthly time based system is not very good when the times shifts almost 6 minutes per day at its peak. To solve that issue, use an API that changes the schedule on a daily basis based on local sunrise and sunset times. This is run in Hubitat as it takes care of the...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    If it is a Web 4 camera there is an day/night switch utility that works well with BI. If a Web 5 camera then many use the built in day/night switch that is set in the camera GUI to switch day/night modes based on available light. Another option is to use an API HTTP GET statement to switch the...

    EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X looks awful on webUI

    Add a siren into NVR DS-7616 NVR

    Find out what the current and voltage limits are for the alarm output on your NVR. Some use a NO SPST internal relay for switching applications. Often these are dry contact. Other times they provide power say 12 VDC at 200 mA. A SSR (solid state relay) can be used to switch on/off an...

    IPC-HDW1320S - Poor image at night

    ^^^^ Plus the sensor is too small at 3 Megapixes. Adding a lot more light either visible or IR would be one solution. But in most cases not practical. Some will say it would would work well with 'stadium lighting'. One could also lower the shutter speed (if adjustable) to 1/10 second (100...

    [Resolved] PTZ - How to Control Auto Tracking On/OFF With a Schedule and Presets

    Using a Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR PTZ with auto tracking. Looked in the WEB 5 manual and could not find any information about how to turn auto tracking on/off with a schedule using a PTZ preset. The goal is to have auto tracking on for part of the day but IVS on full time. Specifically as follows...

    New to CCTV - Can you give me an honest opinion on my plan please ?

    Tried one of their 8 port POE switches and have no issues with either the build quality or functionality. Also trying out the Dahua 8 port POE switch. Looks like the same quality and functionality as best I can tell. As far as your ReoLink camera comment, I fully agree.....

    FedEx Trucks Will Be Spying On You For the Police : Steve Lehto
