    yes the cameras have ftp & i set it to send to a linux ftp server, but it still saved photos to the sd card & the motion triggered images went to the card, while 'thin air' images went to the ftp server. it seemed that disabling save to SD changed nothing. so the wifi apparently is too slow...

    thanks. this is the way it seems to be. i found something about a python routine on sourceforge, but haven't determined this will work. there is the stated belief that plugging a laptop into the USB port of a camera provides a direct link to the SD, but this hasn't been verified yet...

    right. yes. but i need a utility that will do a 'bulk download' of the photos.

    well is there any software that can do this - access the SD for file download by directory/sub-directory?

    IPcam Monitoring software

    after trying the FTP server, it did not receive the same photos that were triggered by the camera. it received photos not contained on the SD card of the camera? WTF? idk, so this is not a good way to go. will the blue iris allow me to connect to the cameras solely to download photos from...

    software to download from ip dahua ptz wifi camera.

    i am looking for software to provide batch downloading of photos from each/all cameras in the system. they are (supposedly) dahua hkvision compatible ptz w/ onvif ip cameras. using the browser it is possible to download one photo at a time - a snail's pace. is there software that works on...

    afaik i reduced the sensitivity by selecting a larger pattern of field detection - that did not seem to change much, if any. the photos of branches blowing in the wind are easy enough to skip since the time interval patterns are easy to identify & skip. i will check these before configuring...

    its not thousands. the cameras don't have AI. the BI generated a lot more photos than the cameras do individually. whereas a camera might generate 150/day BI was behaving as if it was triggering every .25 sec or so for each camera.

    the road is out of range of the closest camera. it will zoom to give a good view of the road; there there is the issue of the treees in the viewscape. these conditions generate 'false triggers' all day long because of tree motion in the background...

    how would you scrub a 24 hour video in 30 seconds? the cameras produce video & snapshots simultaneously. both can be sent to an ftp server. idk how much load that would be on WiFi though.

    there is a bit of wildlife here, so the alerts are not practical. these PtZ cameras are pretty good, but no AI.

    good video on the DL. this is a setting in urbania. i live in the country down a dirt road with 200' distance to the house. the yard is fenced. so this rural environment is hugely different & i have 7 cameras. the problem in reading the photos from the SD cards in the cameras is that it...

    IPcam Monitoring software

    thanks for the tips. it seems that a bit of trial & error is required on this. most people probably use video mode; i use snapshot mode. don't need a bunch of video around. photos are fine. these cameras are pre-AI. what i decided to do was not buy this software for these cameras, but to...

    IPcam Monitoring software

    thanks. after using it in trial mode yesterday, while it is good for switching between cameras, it takes way too many photos. i have set the size to fairly large. it took 10k photos on 6 cameras in 3-4 hours while it was raining. so far this is unusable. i wanted the software to collect...
