    Best POE/ONVIF 180 Degree FOV Dome Camera?

    I'm looking for something I can mount on top of a roof that will give me 180 degree coverage of the sky for detecting birds in flight. It has to be able to provide a decent enough image 500 feet away for object detection to work, but preferably further. My goal is to programmatically split the...

    My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)

    The new POE injector got the new camera up and running. It will take me a bit to figure out all the settings and such to generate something useful, but my plan is to share photos and video of these two cameras for comparison. If there is something anyone would like to me to share I'm all ears...

    Fifth Dahua Camera and I cannot get this one to initialize...

    I have a router I'm using just for the purpose of trying to get this camera to initialize since it has a 192.168.1.1 gateway address and reserves IPs from 168.1.100 onward so that it shouldn't have any conflicts or issues with the default 192.168.1.108 address. Nothing else is connected to the...

    Dahua PTZ1A2M-25X, HTTP Requests, Moves Up and Down but that's it?

    Trying to control this camera with HTTP Requests. So far I can get up and down to work using this format: http://192.168.132.117/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=0&code=Up&arg1=0&arg2=1&arg3=0 which works and returns <Response [200]> Similarly down works with...

    Setting up Auto-Tracking on a PTZ1A2M-25X

    I've been using iSpy and I like it, but it doesn't do auto-tracking from what I understand. I think this camera has some kind of native ability to auto-track where it follows a moving object around by panning and tilting the camera to keep it in the center, but it only does this for a few...

    Remote Access to View EmpireTech Camera?

    Finally got my camera up and running locally and it's great and the PTZ works well. Would like to be able to access the camera remotely now, but my network is a bit complicated (at least in my mind). The camera is connected via ethernet to a POE switch which is connected to Router #1 which is...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    This is an ambitious project for sure and given my ignorance, I'd love to picks some brains here on how best to accomplish it. I have an off grid heavily forested property and I want to trench from a central location throughout the property to install hidden cameras in deadwood trees that I...

    Thanks for the add, hoping to learn how to use Python3 to control my EmpireTech PTZ

    Appreciate the chance to ask noob questions. I've got an EmpireTech PTZ1A2M-25X and I have toyed around with it using face detection and manual tracking using its native server/web based interface. Then in Python3 I've connected to it and had it return its hostname. Using onvif-zeep library...
