    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Another question. I have 3 cameras that triigger PTZ motion to presets. The PTZ looks down the street, and can sometimes track on a vehicle going under the camera to the other side. When the vehicle reaches the other side, it usually will generate an alert on 2 other cameras. So if the PTZ...

    Ok, that did it. It detects motion before the camera slews... Thx! What does the high definition setting do? I am starting to get things dialed in. More times with the kids running up and down the street this week. :)

    Thanks. End trigger is currently set at 10 secs. Motion sensor in BI is set to on, but object detection set to off. Same as the screenshots I posted earlier, except the min duration is now set at 0.0 secs, and objection detection off:

    Hmm, doesn't seem to change things... Any other ideas?

    You mean the pre-trigger video buffer? I have that set for 2 secs. I can try and change it to 10 and see if that helps.

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Ok, I have things working much better now. One thing is that when the PTZ is commanded to move to a new preset by one of the fixed cameras, it still doesn't generate a trigger to BI. Usually the PTZ will generate a trigger when motion is detected a few seconds later, but it would be handy to...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Ok, that helps me understand what is going on. I haven't changed my BI setup to have different parameters that are day/night. I'll go do that and put your suggestions in place. It still works pretty for the fixed cameras well even without those changes. BTW, is there a way to get BI to...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    I'll turn off the objection detection. I thought the meaning of that tab was to additionally trigger when an object was detected. Does it mean that an object must be detected? Should I have this off on my fixed cameras too? Ok, I had never used camera groups before. I'll give that a try...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Weird, I am sure I had the track time for the home preset set to 240, but I just checked it and it says 15 secs. It seems to like to reset things to 15 secs a lot. Is there a trick to keeping at the high setting? I'll turn off SMD and let it stick with IVS. How do you trigger the PTZ camera...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Thanks for the insights. I'm ok with less range - it's a T intersection on the 600 ft side of the street, and a dead end on the 150 ft side of the street. The 25X zoom is probably overkill for this area, but compromising range for better legibility is a good tradeoff here. Will play with...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    OK, doing another find/inspect fixed the presets issue. Thx! The IR control in BI doesn't seem to work - is there some setting that I need in the camera to make this work? It's set to SmartIR now, but if a car parks about 50 ft away, the IR seems so strong I can't read the plate in the...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Hi guys. I just got the camera installed a couple days ago (from Andy of course!), and have worked through the thread trying to optimize the settings. This is my first PTZ camera, so while I am used to most of Dahua settings (I have 20 cameras all feeding a Blue Iris system) work But I still...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    A question about triangulation. Our house is at the right side at the end of a cul de sac where everyone is on large 1+ acre lots, and I am thinking about using the camera to normally track on vehicles on the street coming towards the cul de sac and tracking them as they come down the street...

    Grandstream GDS3710 works well now

    Well, I have mine hooked to my grandstream PBX, and that works well. You don't need a SIP trunk from the GDS3710 if you are running it into a PBX (which presumably has a SIP trunk or POTS line, something to connect it to the PSTN. If you don't have a PBX, and all you care about is connecting...

    Grandstream GDS3710 works well now

    Well, for a doorbell, I have found its functionality is extremely good, even at night. But it won't take the place of a regular Dahua camera.

    Grandstream GDS3710 works well now

    Makes sense since the keypad has a bunch of white LED's in that provide local illumination for the user to type codes and such, but they also provide enough light to illuminate anyone close enough to the keypad to touch it. I use it as a regular camera in the daytime for blue-iris, and at night...

    Grandstream GDS3710 works well now

    Yes, working great with blueiris. I now have card access running, and its great to give out cards and not just settle for number codes, etc... The software keeps getting better, though it would be nice to have an IR illuminator included.

    Grandstream GDS3710 works well now

    Hardware rev is 1.7A. Not sure of what you mean by the talk function working with BI. Members of the household interact with visitors using the phones which are in rooms and on mobile devices (e.g. GSWAVE), and not BI. I use BI primarily as an NVR, and with hooks to homeseer. I've only...

    Grandstream GDS3710 works well now

    Folks, I know prior users had issues with the GDS3710 as mentioned in this thread: (Grandstream Doorbell / Video Intercom GDS3710 - Do not buy), but I just installed 2 of these as gate conrollers and have them hooked to BlueIris 5 with no issues at all, at least with the 1.0.7.7 software load...

    Dahua and Hikvision put on the "entities list"

    Well, this is the same list Huawei was put on, which I think means US companies can't sell to them. That presumably means US chips etc... can't go in those devices. Do they use any of those? But I'm not sure if imports are banned from those devices. But if they are going to be treated the...

    Dahua and Hikvision put on the "entities list"

    See here: US government adds Chinese facial recognition firms to entity list Does this affect the ability for Dahua and Hikvision to make cameras or be allowed to be imported into the US? What alternatives would people recommend if these aren't allowed anymore? mike

    Problem trying to initialize camera

    I apologize as I'm sure I am missing something... I just got a bunch of cameras from Andy (quick as always!), and before I go mount them, I want to change the default IP address settings on the cameras. I connect to the cameras with Chrome (though I tried IE too), and the camera wants me to...

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    How far does the bullet mount adjust? Since they don't make a a varifocal turret version of this camera yet, I was wondering if I couldn't make the bullet version work ok, but I'd need to be able the point the camera about 60-70 degrees off to the left or right. Is the mount capable of doing that?

    Dahua Audio Wiretapping vulnerability

    Well, if you have kids computers and phones on the same LAN that can talk to cameras, that can be an issue. Generally there are lots of computers/devices in houses today. Kids often download things they shouldn't. I have my kids gear managed and no admin privs on their accounts, but that's...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam
