    Gotta love the 1/1.8 Image Sensor

    Thanks for the notes. Full time color at night is not a goal. I know the limitations of the cameras. The Image and exposure settings are all still at factory defaults (everything is at 50). Have not adjusted any of them yet. The JPEG capture is as at a quality of 50% as set in Blue Iris. I will...

    Gotta love the 1/1.8 Image Sensor

    This time of year, in Michigan, with a little bit of snow and some moonlight. Night time video looks like high noon. A couple of nights earlier we had full cloud cover and still had lots of light. The last few days the IR never turned on. I purchased a black IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 from Andy two years...

    Motion detected but no rectangles or highlight showing -- update

    Helping my daughter clear up false motion positives. Her rear home camera is detecting numerous motion overnight and some in daylight. But no objects are showing in the video. I turned on highlight and rectangles to try to see what is causing the false positives. We are not getting any...

    Set up cameras on a Comcast/Xfinity home network

    Thanks, you confirmed what I suspected on the Xfinity setup. All she has now is their modem/router/switch. I was pretty sure I'd need to get her setup like I have here with her own equipment.

    Set up cameras on a Comcast/Xfinity home network

    That is my plan but what I am not sure of is the Xfinity gear does not seem to support VLAN'ing. This setup is for her home in Virginia so I'll be settingup and testingwhat I can here in Michigan. I'm thinking she'll need a managed switch connected to the Xfinity modem/router/switch/wifi box...

    Set up cameras on a Comcast/Xfinity home network

    I am looking to help my daughter set up two cameras on her Comcast Xfinity modem/router network. I already have her cameras here (thanks Andy) for testing and configuring. I have looked through the various forum discussions (Nayr discussions) and others on this topic and have not really found a...

    Mike, I recently migrated from SmartThings to HA and noticed the same behavior with the BI integration. Were you able to find a solution? Thanks, John.

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

    So far using the IE-TAB extension in Chrome the settings have all remained as I set them. I added two more presets with detection and everything seems to be holding.

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

    I thought I had my settings good and there was no tracking when I tried it the first time. About an hour later my wife happen to walk into the zone and the camera picked her up tracked and zoomed. Seem to take a few minutes for the camera to register the setup. I'll continue to play with the...

    wittaj, wildcat_1, tibimakai, sebastiantombs....thanks gang, the browser was a big issue (makes sense on why the playback screen was always so empty) I knew stuff had to be missing. I did a walk through and in playback motion was detected prior to entering teh zone. Once I hit the zone the...

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

    I am struggling to get the tracking setup on my SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight camera. I have watched a number of the YouTube videos where others have walked through the steps. It is a fairly simple rule in my back yard. I have been able to setup the RULE AREA and the MIN/MAX sizes. The area is...

    2021 Memorial Day Promotion

    I found it. Luckily I did not throw the spec sheet in my virtual shredder. The PFA120 junction box or the PFA140 power box are spec'd out.

    2021 Memorial Day Promotion

    For the sd49225xa-hnr is the PFA120 the correct junction box? I thought I had the matching spec sheet somewhere but now I can't find. Virtual papers are worse than real ones.

    Natural Gas Generators

    We had a long term ice/power outage in December 2013 (right before Xmas). That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Decided on a Generac 14kw with a whole house switch. Installation was completed the following June. On the day the installation was completed (the installers had just left)...

    Difficulties in setting/getting detection in Blue Iris

    WittAJ, thanks for the response. Good points on ReoLink and BI interaction, thanks. I'll play with the pre-buffer for grins. The ReoLink camera was a first time shot into the IP camera world for testing. It was very inexpensive to play with and get a feel for what I want to move into next. The...

    Difficulties in setting/getting detection in Blue Iris

    Just beginning to utilize Blue Iris. I have a ReoLink 410 camera at the rear of my property looking towards the rear of the house. With the ReoLink software I am successfully getting movement detection as far away as 280 ft. If a vehicle drives down my road movement is detected as the vehicle...
