its would be in events in the cameras schedule. You can also use the dahua sunrise sunset tool by bp2008.I remember reading either on this forum or on Dahua forum that someone mentioned it was possible to toggle Day/Night profiles on cams from Blue Iris. Can anyone briefly describe how to do it (if possible at all) or point me to where I can read about it. I can't seems to find it. Thanks.
Thanks, fenderman!its would be in events in the cameras schedule. You can also use the dahua sunrise sunset tool by bp2008.
Thanks. But how does one do it in Blue Iris. I don't see a single command with words "day" or "night" in the menu that @fenderman pointed me to. And that place seems appropriate for such commands. I am missing something.If @bp2008's tool is working for you.. I'd suggest to just keep using it & avoid further aggravation's.
I have found that on a lot of Dahua camera's, while Blue Iris seems to do "something?" when you toggle the day/night profile, it DOES NOT change what you'd expect. Where @bp2008's tool...all of them actually...always work as expected...Thank You
Blue Iris does properly handle the day/night profile control on all the Hikvision cameras that I've tried.
Blue iris ir on/off actually toggles day/night not ir.Thanks. But how does one do it in Blue Iris. I don't see a single command with words "day" or "night" in the menu that @fenderman pointed me to. And that place seems appropriate for such commands. I am missing something.
Sounds like the best kept secret but it didn't work for me unfortunately. Those commands didn't do anything. I found out that the reboot command sent to the camera through the PTZ/Control menu (right-click on the camera) doesn't reboot the camera either. I tried all profiles with Dahua or Amcrest in the name in the PTZ/Control tab in the camera properties. I need to find out why the commands don't do anything.Blue iris ir on/off actually toggles day/night not ir.

I changed the profile in the video tab to Dahua, Main Stream RTSP. PTZ/Control profile automatically changed to Dahua New V5. The commands still don't do anything. Otherwise, nothing seems to have changed. I think what haag posted above is true.You need to change the profile in the video configuration tab
It does in fact work. Otherwise I have a magical phone because I could toggle it with the light bulb button. You have something set incorrectly, possibly the http port which generally is not needed by BI.I changed the profile in the video tab to Dahua, Main Stream RTSP.
