    IPC-Color4K-X S2 Slow Auto Restart

    "It must be when BI is detecting the lost signal and retrying the network. None of my cameras take a few seconds to reboot." I believe you are correct. I went to the raw footage on several cameras and they all do take longer. Case closed, thank you everyone! Offline Back online

    IPC-Color4K-X S2 Slow Auto Restart

    Hello, I recently purchased an IPC-Color4K-X S2. The camera works fine but I have noticed that the Auto Restart of the camera takes about two minutes when all of my other cameras are a few seconds. I'm curious to know why this camera takes so long to reboot? Has anyone else noticed this? I...

    Warm LED Camera Light

    Yup, you were right. My IPC-B5442E-Z4E still works. It turns out the issue I was having was due to a faulty POE switch. I should have examined the log file in more detail. At any rate the symptoms were strange. The Switch was dropping the signal on all of my cameras at random times and would...

    Event PTZ Preset Skipped

    I discovered why the PTZ Preset was being skipped. I inadvertently selected profile 1 on the Edit camera control event window. I did not notice this. I deselected Profile 1, like in the 2nd picture, and it now works like all the other cameras... :)

    Event PTZ Preset Skipped

    Hello, I have a new camera. I set up switching the Day\Night Profiles using the PTZ schedule. I have 8 other cameras that use the same procedure and they have all worked fine for a long time. If I run the presets manually I can switch to day or night profile on the camera with no issue...

    Warm LED Camera Light

    Well, I finally got my camera, weeks later. It shipped from China. Now that I have it my first impression is that I was too hasty in my decision and did not do enough due diligence. That light is bright, even on low settings. It's like a laser beam. I don't think I'll be putting it in the...

    Yup, that looks quite bright to me. Not sure if I'm going to like that?

    That's what I was looking for. I'm curious to know what the LED light will look like in my environment.

    Warm LED Camera Light

    No going back now. I just ordered an EmpireTech 6mm IPC-Color4K-X 8MP 1/1.2" CMOS Full-color Fixed-focal Warm LED Bullet Network Camera. I've been curious about these and now I will have one. I will also investigate the other camera further and put it somewhere else for the remainder of its life...

    Warm LED Camera Light

    There is no SD card in the camera. Updating the firmware is a good idea. At this point I have to conclude the issue is intermittent. It worked all last night. Previous few days it went offline several times for short periods of time, 5 10 minutes, before coming back online. One period was about...

    Warm LED Camera Light

    Yes, quite sure this is not networking, cable or settings. I haven't opened the junction box yet but I'm doubtful that it is the connection either. I used dielectric grease and wrapped the connection with coax seal and electrical tape. Oddly enough, the camera started working again, but...

    Warm LED Camera Light

    Hello, I'm looking for a new camera. My IPC-B5442E-Z4E stopped working. I'm considering buying the 6mm EmpireTech 4K Bullet IP Camera Warm LED IP67 with 1/1.2 sensor. I've never owned a camera with the warm LED lights. I have a few questions about them. 1. Are these LED lights on all the...

    The good news is I cleaned the lens and after two nights the images are all crystal clear. Thank you!

    Camera Triggered by Floating Artifacts

    Most excellent, thank you! I will give this a try. I have one question. Does the camera need to have an SD Card installed? None of my cameras have an SD card.

    Camera Triggered by Floating Artifacts

    I am using the basic MD that comes with Blue Iris. To be honest, I've barely looked at Blue Iris for a few years. For me it runs without issue and for the most part the basic alerts worked good enough. I have 8 cameras and it just seems to keep working. I guess it might be time to get educated...

    Camera Triggered by Floating Artifacts

    Thank you! I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This time of year I didn't expect a spider since the temperature can still drop below zero degrees Celsius at night but I'm definitely going to clean the lens. Maybe the little bugger was hibernating in my camera for the winter and just woke up!:)

    Camera Triggered by Floating Artifacts

    Hello, I have an IPC-T5442T-ZE camera installed under the soffits on my front lawn. It's zoomed about 50%. The camera has been in this location for about 3 years without issue. Last night it triggered about 100 alerts. Watching the footage there are two white balls with a faint line between...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I'm not sure? I looked into this for the first time today. First, I'm assuming the API, version 3.26, from Andy's web site is the correct reference. If not, perhaps someone could point us in the correct direction. API 3.26 Here Using this API I can see the parameter names and values that...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Those cameras are running the old Gui. I have one IPC-T54IR-ZE that is running the new Gui. I did manage to get it working, too.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I did make one small change tonight. The API calls above set the Day\Night Mode to color. For my setup color at night is not ideal. I set it to Auto so it is B&W most of the night but if there is sufficient light it will turn to color. Night API call for auto color mode...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Well, it appears that all my IPC-B5442E-Z4E, IPC-T5442T-ZE and IPC-T5442TM cameras can now be be switched to the day or night profile using the BI sunrise\sunset schedule. I had one issue where I could not change the ONVIF admin password so I added a new admin ONVIF account and pointed BI to use...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I think I may have solved the issue I was having on my IPC-T5442T-ZE cameras. I found the post below by wittaj and so I tried changing the ONVIF password again and this time it worked. I'm running a test tonight on the one camera and if it works I will do the rest. I also have an IPC-T54IR-ZE so...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Hello... I have been trying to setup the automated Day Profile\Night Profile using the PTZ control. The instructions are clear. My first test failed because I had %$ in my password. I got a 404 error. Someone previously stated they had a @ in their password and had to remove it before it would...
