    Road Rage Dumba$$

    we're getting more and more of this over in AU, there is a massive shortage of anyone wanting to become police so it seems the only solution is to start putting up more camera's (Chinaaaaa)

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    Thanks, however if there is a counter I'd like to know where it is and make it visible so we can all keep an eye on it.. I'd also like to know Dahua's position on motors wearing out + if it's an issue etc (their all round spiel on it really)

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    I've decided to ask Andy for a comment on this.

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    the other thing to consider when embarking on this is if you get involved, will you be taking any responsibility for if the system does not perform, you can work on this and it can take a massive amount of time + then become on your head to maintain.

    layout design. POE switches and backbones

    oh no you can absolutely can daisy chain as long as it's within that reach, I'd not want to deal with a device at the start taking everything else down (personally)

    layout design. POE switches and backbones

    when potentially breaching the 100m limit/between physcial buildings my tact has always been to run pre-term fiber, which adds a level of lightning protection + helps in the case of dissimilar earths etc Option B is to just run cheap Ubiquity access points something like $400 for a pair.. prob...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    ok Nailed it... almost all Dahua cam's come with a default sharpness command in ONVIF of 50 (or that's how it looks in milestone), so if whatever is connecting to the onvif is commanding 50 from the camera you get massively over sharpened, so I set this down to zero and it's now perfect.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    ok, what I can see in Milestone with the S2 is very different (with the over sharpening issue) vs the camera's web interface, do you get the same, logged into the camera's interface it looks fine

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    actually, we've started to notice the same thing with the S2 version, anyone else had a look... might be worth Wildcat having a squiz.

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    the SMD camera's I have let you do some of the SMD functionality within the IVS rules (create the IVS rule and area's then tick the boxes to say only on vehicle or humans), I still find they are not that accurate nor that flexible for what I'd like to do

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    somewhat of a side note, if you want a higher reliability outside of making sure you are correctly locating the right devices, I'd highly recommend using external AI Processing the built in stuff is not particularly accurate at the best of times and BI is a ridiculously cheap way to do that

    If you had unlimited budget for Axis cameras...

    https://www.axis.com/products/axis-q1809-le 8k would be interesting to see some caps vs 4k and night :p, I keep wondering how long before Dahua/Hik start doing 8k at a vaguely economic price

    [SOLVED] Add an C1200 ANNKE camera to a Dahua NVR

    Sorry, I see the spec sheet says it has it, but maybe there is something in the cam that needs more config, Annke might also have suggestions for how to connect to external NVR etc

    [SOLVED] Add an C1200 ANNKE camera to a Dahua NVR

    You'd be best reaching out to Annke and seeing if there is a way to enable ONVIF on the camera itself, or if there is some stream detail etc and post back

    OMG Thermal!

    It makes you wonder why they don't have these, with matching zoom lens on the PTZ to aid target tracking.. have two other cam's zoomed slighly further out from the PTZ's main lens and these can advise where it needs to move to keep the target centered.. .follow behind trees etc even better...

    Love this community! (This motorcycle was flying 50MPH+ in a 25 residential area)

    Fingers crossed the law enforcement do something for you, they don't care unless someone died around here.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    one of the guys near you would need to advise sorry to say (I'm over in Aus) doing some googling I can't find anywhere selling custom lengths of loose tube, so i guess you'd be best doing the outdoor jacket with this mob: they look like they make to size Build & Buy Custom Fiber Cables Online...

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    I'd go the preterm loose tube fibre optic myself, should not be expensive and will be rock solid + last forever, just get a pair of switches that have the SFP ports and you are golden.

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Funny you mention that, I walked into my folks garage and was bowled over by the stench from all the various oils and fuels, never even noticed while living there. of other note the Hydrogen side of things looks interesting, will be interesting to see how the first the first few fires go.

    Xprotect Triggering SMD PTZ with AutoTracking

    Sweet, thankyou so it should work, probably something else I've missed then

    Xprotect Triggering SMD PTZ with AutoTracking

    well, it's odd, in the camera you add the Smart plan to a preset? it seems that Milestone then calls the preset, does this then trigger the smart plan for that preset?

    Xprotect Triggering SMD PTZ with AutoTracking

    Anyone have a Dahua SMD PTZ in Milestone and triggering presents which allow Autotracking? when I create them on the camera they show when imported to Milestone however I've yet to see the the Auto Tracking side of things kick off?

    Milestone + Dahua IVS Rules

    And a quick one I discovered the other day, the Essentials (Free version) does not offer Alarms, so ignore my suggestion of defining the Alarms, instead you are more or less restricted to doing Notifications or whatnot.

    Milestone + Dahua IVS Rules

    We have this all working, as per above you cannot get the metadata into Xprotect without a corporate license, so instead you need to use the intrusion or tripwire rules, pretty simple stuff, in the case of the Version 4 camera's you need to do the following: 1, in the Camera go to Events, then...

    Dahua NVR's push event detections into Blue Iris

    as an oddball question, does Blue Iris get Smart Motion Events from Dahua NVR's with SMD cam's on them?

    why are non-renewables the cheaper option? Subsidies https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/biden-budget-target-us-fossil-fuel-subsidies-2023-03-09/ with the Subsidies Fuel/Coal get you're paying for your product twice.. 10-50 Billion a year.. wow!
