    Looking for advice to replace existing cameras

    Hi all, I'm currently running Reolink RLC-1224A cameras but they haven't met my expectations (poor nighttime performance and the streams to frigate are not great), so I'm looking to replace them with a Dahua, Hikvision, or Empiretech based system. I'd appreciate advice on camera selection for...

    How to center bounding box using 3D move without changing zoom with the Dahua HTTP API.

    Hi, I’m controlling a Dahua PTZ through the HTTP CGI interface. The moveDirectly command works well for centering a bounding box from image coordinates, but it always performs a zoom-in so the selected rectangle fills the frame. I need to keep the current zoom level exactly as it is, just...

    Setting Up a Firewall for Dahua PTZ — Is an Isolated Subnetwork Necessary?

    I'm looking into setting up a firewall for our Dahua PTZ unit. I want to make sure it’s protected from the main network it’s currently hosted on. From what I understand, we’d need to create our own subnetwork, which is then protected independently. We would block any inbound connections, and the...
