    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    very interesting. Wonder why mine doesn't do that. Which preset does yours go back to, one set up as home or one that you were just on and manually moved the camera from?

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    That is kind of what I was after by using my middle (fixed) camera. Maybe I could set it up as the spotter cam and the next time it triggers it could move the other two cameras. Even if it moved them to each of the respective 'home' position, then maybe the resume command within BI would work...

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    I'm on the most stable one 5.7.7.8 I always just use the stable releases. That's odd to me about your scenario when mine does not. I've tried it on two of the cameras and it won't return to the scheduled PTZ, unlessI use BI to do "something" with the camera. Even using the PTZ to move it one...

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    Ok guys. come one, please read in the original post what I'm trying to do. I have two ptz schedules set for my camera in BI. One is a "day" schedule where my cam points "this way" One is a "night" schedule where my cam points "that way". If I move the camera via the GUI (not through BI) then BI...

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    Except that doesn't work as I described in the original post. If you move the camera using the camera's GUI, BI doesn't "know" it's moved so the resume doesn't work. If you move the camera, in any kind of way, via BI, then it of course would work.

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    Gonna think on that. Not sure I want two different time schedules (one in BI and one in the camera), but will look at it. Thanks.

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    Well I really like the IVS in the camera. Maybe down the road I'll look at some of the AI technologies connected to BI but for now the IVS in Dahua cams really does it for me.

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    But, auto home wouldn't work for the scenario I posted. Autohome would take the camera to a pre-set "home" location, which may not be my #1 (Day) PTZ location or my #2 (Night) location, depending on the time of day.

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    Good thought. My "L" Dahua camera (PTZ/tracking/25x) does have a scheduled task function, unfortunately my "R" Dahua doesn't have such a feature. It has a scheduled 'profile' feature, but I really need the scheduled task function in this camera too for it work work completely in the Dahua...

    Help with BI PTZ resume after moving camera via GUI manually

    I've used BI motion detect for years and learned much about fine tuning. But, I'm still catching shadows and leaves as well as people and cars. So, I'm testing using the best of both worlds, using BI to manage PTZ schedules (since my Dahua cams don't do that) and I'm using the IVS in my Dahua...

    BI Tools; list of variables?

    Oh. I wouldn't have expected it there. Thanks.

    BI Tools; list of variables?

    ahhh, but your reply made me look closer at another location in BI Tools, under the macros, so I found what I need. Thanks!

    BI Tools; list of variables?

    Yes, probably macros. I want to add UV and Solar radiation now that I have the sensors. I looked at every button and under every menu tab in BI tools, didn't see a help PDF.

    BI Tools; list of variables?

    Is there a comprehensive list of all of the variables that can be used in Blue Iris Tools? I looked around in the app and searched here but came up empty. I'd like to add solar UV and solar radiation but I'd also like to see all of the variables list anyway.

    Dahua IVS questions

    Oh. I turned it off on the time plan but didn't turn it off under the storage because I assumed if it wasn't in the time plan it didn't matter. I'll try turning both off. Thanks!!!

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I am having trouble finding where a setting is in this camera. It seems to be recording 24/7 and, although, it records events, there is recording before and after events. My playback bar looks all green with occasional orange events. I don't have any motion detect, audio detect, triggers...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    You might have missed it, but in my testing, when I moved my fps down (10-15) the issue goes away!? I don't understand this since I'm playing back what is on the SD card previously recorded. The camera is not 'busy', meaning it's idle (no recording, ptz movement, etc.) when I'm trying to...

    Dahua IVS questions

    Ok, while I'm still futzing with everything wittaj gave me above, I got distracted and cannot find the culprit to a new issue. I have my IVS (tripwire and intrusion) setup to trigger for cars/people walking/driving in front of my house. That seems to be working but I've got a lot of "general"...

    Dahua IVS questions

    Wittaj, you are the best. Thank you for such a detailed explanation, enough that I'll have to read and re-read it, but it's excellent. I've definitely learned something and will make suggested changes. I may ask some more questions as I come across new features or issues. Thanks again!

    Dahua IVS questions

    I'm fairly new to using IVS. In the past I've always relied on Blue Iris to take care of motion detection and I've gotten pretty familiar with BI in that respect. Still, I'm liking Dahua's IVS on my 3 cameras and want to expand my use and knowledge of this feature. Please don't tell me to use...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Except that when I was testing out the playback from the SD card there was no active recording or even movement on the camera field of view. Essentially the camera was idle. Additionally, in one of my tests, I lowered the main stream resolution with no effect. I too would be curious if anyone...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Fair point. Yes, both of them are PTZ cameras (42212TNI and SD49225T-HN) one is 12x, other is 25x.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I like that idea, seems almost plausible; however it would make me feel better if another person who has this camera could verify this. Whatever the reason, if something like this is really happening, I'd think it's a bug. I have other Dahua cams set to 30 fps that are recording to SD card and...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    That is correct. Live video viewing is ok. It's only F'd up when I view recorded video from the SD card with a frame rate higher than 15fps (recent discovery). But again, recorded video downloaded and viewed with 3rd party is ok too, no issues there.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Actually I did, yesterday. I had a class 3 128gb laying around and a 64gb, tried both, same results. However, I just discovered that changing my fps higher/lower coupled with my bitrate higher/lower seems to make the playback video choppy vs smooth!? I don't understand how this can happen since...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Yep, I had a 256Gb class 3 card in it and specifically went out and bought the fastest new sd card I could find. 256g Samsung Pro Plus, U3, V30, 4K (read 180mbs/write 130mbs) For the moment I'm leaving it at H264, General Encoding, 15 fps, CBR 3840. This seems to provide the best, smoothest...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Correct, live video looks ok no matter which codec used. Downloaded video to the computer always plays fine with an external video player, no matter which codec was used. The only codec that plays correctly from the SD card is the smart codec but I lose my IVS. So yes, video copied down is...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    No I see it. When I use AI codec, IVS is there but I'm still getting the jittery motion on playback. I've played around with all of the CODECS. The only codec I can use for video that isn't choppy on playback is Smart Codec, but I lose AI (IVS features!) I really want to make the playback work...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I am still suspicious that it has something to do with the codec settings in the camera. I want to use AI (tripwire/intrusion) but when I switch encoding strategy to smart codec or AI codec to use those features the IVS section is gone. Right now I have the encoding strategy to General so I...
