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

    Warm LED Camera Light

    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...

    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

    All roads lead to wittaj... Using the API calls below I was able to use the PTZ method to change the day\night profile on my IPC-T54IR-ZE. Thank you! wittaj Oct 20, 2022 DRUM ROLL......... With help from above, I have figured out the APIs to change profiles for this camera!!!!! Here is the...

    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...

    Dahua turret set screw

    Hi, I need a set screw for one of my Dahua 5442 cameras, too. Did you find one? If so, is the size M5 and what length worked? I'm also using a small bolt that I cut and tapered the end as a temporary solution.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hello, I have two issues with UI3 that I cannot resolve. I'm using an Android phone. I have been using UI3 for a year and it has worked great, for the most part. These two issues have only recently appeared. The issues are consistent using different browsers, Edge, Firefox, Google, etc. Issue...

    Failed to Connect Issue

    So I changed out both RJ45 connectors. To test the cable I ran another Ethernet cable from my switch to the camera, just through the house and out the door. I used an Ethernet Coupler to connect the cables at the camera and then I plugged the other two ends located by my switch into my Ethernet...

    Failed to Connect Issue

    Yes, seems like the best approach. I'll change out the other connector, put it back up, and then monitor for a few weeks before locking it down for the long run. Hopefully it was just a flakey RJ45 connectior that I put on. Thank you.

    Failed to Connect Issue

    Hi, I installed my 6th camera, T544T-ZE, about two weeks ago. I've had it for a while and finally got it up. It worked great for two weeks and then starting yesterday I began having issues. When I installed it I tested the connection and it all seemed good so I did the dielectric grease, coax...

    IPC-B5442E-Z4E Night Settings

    Yup, this is good advice. I've been playing a lot with these settings. Every camera is different due to their location, even when they're very close. In general, I've noticed that by lowering these settings the image gets darker but more detail appears. Leaves me with the decision on how much...
