I've written code to reset the zoom and focus every hour. Note my zoom isn't drifting, only the focus. The api to do it is documented in this doc latest Version of DAHUA HTTP API FOR IPC Documentation ?? http://{ip}/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=adjustFocus&focus={focus}&zoom={zoom} This...

I don't think it's the case of day/night difference. Both the day and night are out of focus in my case. The camera isn't set to reboot but even so, it should keep its focus though right? For now I'm just going to set the focus via dahua API / cgi every day, or even every hour. Does this not...

Wait.... the focus settings are different for each profile (day / night)? Didn't know that! I think I wrote down the focus settings, but alas I forgot where I kept it!

My IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E focus mode is set to Manual. However, every now and then (about 1-2 months maybe?) I would discover that it had gone out of focus and needed refocusing. I never could remember the exact value for the focus so I have to do a manual focus by parking a car where it's aimed and...

Are they "images" (as in jpg)? And do I need to store actual clips, duplicating the video data, since it should also be stored in the big bvr file? I have unticked the 7 days settings for now.

Limit clip age for the "Alerts" folder was ticked and set to 7 days. But I thought that was just for the actual video clip files (mp4). I thought the red dots being markers in the database, would then play the video from the main bvr which is stored until the disk limit is reached. The oldest...

I thought those red dots are just markers in the database?

Why do I only have 6 red dots on the Alert calendar? (My system has been running for months). How can I browse past alerts?

I recently found this: Docker Hub its github: GitHub - sclaflin/OpenALPR-HTTP-Wrapper: Thin wrapper around the OpenALPR cli program Recently updated.

Those tags are visible in the clips/flagged section, but how do I filter / search them?

Should the video storage disk be defragged every now and then? I could just schedule it to happen during the day, or even better, when nobody's home.

Thank you!!! It is comma and period :)

Where can I find a list of keyboard shortcuts for UI3? I found the docs here but it doesn't seem to mention a list of shortcuts: UI3 Help Specifically I'd like to know how to advance paused video playback by one frame. Currently if I pressed the right arrow, it would jump forward 10 seconds...

Doesn't it need to TRIM or something? EDIT: found a good article about it The real and complete story - Does Windows defragment your SSD?

Learnt something new! I could line the inside of the entire cupboard with this type of material
