    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Oh, I have learned that lesson. The 0-0.8 used to be my LPR attempt at night which does not work on the PTZ. Now I have a dedicated Z12E for LPR but kept the night LPR on the PTZ lingering at twilight hours, to keep getting some plates with the PTZ. Btw, all cars pass in front of the LPR cam...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Thanks @bigredfish . I will have other cameras to pick up those cars, but was just wondering if there is a trick I am missing on this PTZ. The picture is not entirely bad, it's just that IVS of this camera seems not well trained at night. @wittaj , the 0-0.8 was taken with the sun out, the...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    I can try that. Just fyi, it can pick up cars when the schedule hits my old Night Settings I used to have for license plate pickup: And here is the current night setting (General) that does not pick up the cars (I may need to work on this as you guys are suggesting here).

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    IVS lines, the line supposed to capture it is on the left. I played with that line too, had it further right and thought there isn't enough time for IVS to know it's a car before knowing is crossing the line, so I moved it to the left. The current line on the right is my trigger to rotate and...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Same car detected by Color4M with a small tripwire in the upper right corner.

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    This one is driving me crazy for months. As soon as we hit night hours, the IVS has serious problems to detect vehicles. The same tripwires work fine during the day (mostly), but at night it's like vehicles are invisble. Not sure if there are my night settings which are currently a bit noisy. I...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    My mistake, sorry, I was searching for "micr" instead of "mic". Synology is still all over the place with these cameras. I will look elsewhere in the forum for threads related to Synology pains.

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    @bigredfish , you mention in the other thread that IPC-Color4M-T Empiretech corresponds to Dahua IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-PRO. However, that Dahua camera does not have a microphone and speaker I think. So, I don't know which Dahua model the Color4M exactly corresponds to. My Synology has the profile...

    Thanks, camera installed on front door. Will check it in real conditions tonight.

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    Do you guys have MD and SMD on? I have been fighting with every possible setting and just now managed to trigger the warm light on, after enabling MD and SMD. Are these needed to be on?

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    @bigredfish , how did you make the Color4M turn on the warm lights when detecting a human? I have set IVS and the only Event Linkage I can find is flickering of red/blue lights, there is no option for Warm Lights. The illuminator in camera settings is set to Smart Illumination with Human Target...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    My front neighbor got robbed three months ago. I caught most of the arrival and departure of thieves on my PTZ camera. Thieves almost never go through the front door. They go through the back, just like they did with my neighbor, where they broke a back window. So, I have already three cameras...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    Hmmm, I never thought about vertical use. Thanks! Truth is also that on the right side of that walkway, right where the camera view ends, there is another incoming path through some steps. The 2.8mm may get some of that too.

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    I hear you @bigredfish but I have a 3.6 and need more angle to get the walkway more to detect an incoming person sooner. This is the current view, and I know the angle is a bit messed up and needed to be higher but I didn't install this. The other thing I am thinking is that these ceiling views...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    Tomorrow arrives my 2.8mm Color4M which I will probably put on front door. @tmxv4128 yours is a 2.8mm too right? I am almost regretting I put a 8mp Color4K on my driveway yesterday, which needs the warm light all night on.
