    Better Camera Placement

    Currently no, that car is parked on a side driveway/parking pad not in front of the house. But I have this view, sort of.

    I should mention I have some T54 at these red locations as well

    Better Camera Placement

    Honestly, never thought about crossing the driveway cameras over each other. My main concern is the current setup has almost no view of the front lawn between the house and the street other than the right side of the corner camera (Bullet). Crossing the driveway ones might help with this since...

    Better Camera Placement

    Please check out my kindergarten drawing below and offer some opinions. I currently have 3 cameras placed roughly where the red triangles show. I am now thinking to switch it to 2 cameras in the blue locations. My goal is to optimize view across the front of the house (street) and cover the...

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    Thanks, I fixed all gaps yesterday! Just haven’t updated here yet as I need to check last night and see if everything is resolved. I find it easiest to draw then manually input each time instead of dragging the sliders.

    Just weird I have 4 of the same model and only the 2 "newer" ones seem to be so "spotlighted" and not spread out

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    It's about 8' off the ground, mounted under the soffit. I had to turn the camera down a buit towards the ground as I was getting IR bounce off the white soffit before.

    HouseSouth confirmed was the timeplan issue with empty few seconds. It came back on IR at like 12:01 The DriveNorth I have now set to 100% Manual IR and disabled SmartIR

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    In addition, the "HouseNorth" and "HouseSouth" cameras were purchased later than the other T54IR-ZE cameras and the "newer" ones seems to be more of a spotlight/hotzone IR than the others...I still have 2 REOLINK cameras in the system, both of the "BACKLAWN" title cameras, their IR is so much...

    Look at "HouseSouth" at midnight when it goes off and back on, the IR never comes back on.

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    Strange because the "HouseSouth" has no other external lights affecting it. The "DriveSouth" is the one with the sconce light and I had also considered that as an issue. At one point the IR from the camera was making the photocell on the light think it was daytime and switching that light off...

    Any thoughts on the Sunrise/Sunset utility?

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    I can check the POE switch but I am more than certain it isn't close to budget. I will have to check at night when all the IR is on. I will adjust time settings now for that 35 seconds on all cameras

    I thought about this too but that light is the same before and after midnight. Also look at the "HouseSouth" camera after midnight. Its completely black.

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    You know, I hadn't set August for some cameras as when I did this we were very far away from August and usually wait until the month before to get the times closer. But looking at these now, the camera with issue has the times set and the one that doesn't have issue is set to DAY for the whole...

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    So I have the schedule set but still have the "Day/Night" section of the settings set to auto, because I was having issues with sunrise/sunset times changing and the Time Plan only being able to change per month. I have been needing to look into the Sunrise/Sunset utility from BP but just...

    I am using customized scene with time plan settings, doesnt make sense though because nothing is set to change at midnight, the illumination settings are below for a camera with issue and one without WITH ISSUE WITHOUT ISSUE

    EmpireTech Cameras Lose IR at Midnight EVERY night

    I don't understand what has changed over the last few weeks. For some reason, every night, at exactly 00:00, some of my cameras flicker like a reboot and then the IR is underpowered. When they go back to night mode at 18:00 the following afternoon/evening, the IR is good again until midnight...

    Powershell Script to Send Pushover Notifications with a Camera's or Cam Group's Current Image

    I am no programmer or computer genius by any means but in my quest to delay the snapshot sent to Pushover compared to the alert time, I recently switch from -F "attachment=@D:\BlueIris\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH" to After this change I had noticed that the images sent in Pushover were not full res on...

    Static Objects Triggering with BI AI turned on

    I recently switch to the built in AI confirmation and started using it in conjunction with my IVS on my Dahua cameras as I was having a lot of false triggers even with sensitivity turned down on the IVS. However, now with the new BI/AI, the periodic scan is gone and I am getting some triggers on...

    Help with UI3 and Tailscale

    Honestly, think I am just going to leave Tailscale connected on phone or just connect when needed. I don't think I can achieve using the same IP when on the LAN and when connected like I use to be able to with OpenVPN since Tailscale doesn't work the same way.
