thanks for the responses. The flagpole is in my backyard and used for a camera and weather instruments only. The wind does affect it but I post only a snapshot on my weather site and there is no wind interference with it. The site is down now and to be up and running in the next couple of weeks.

I have a bullet camera mounted on a 20 ft flagpole. It is used as a weather cam and points ~10 degrees above horizontal. I'm about to purchase a new bullet camera but read about the advantages of a turret camera. My question can a turret camera be mounted on a flagpole pointing up? If this is...

I am using the monocle skill with no success even though I followed what "eeeesh" said .How do I use the ONVIF URL? Thanks, Greg

I have a dahua ipc-hfw5231e-ze using it as a weather cam. I verified my RTSP stream using VLC (rtsp:/192.xxx.x.xx/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0) It worked okay. I set up the echo show 8 with the proper device name (wxcam) and asked alexa to show it. The response was "waiting for camera"...

yes, need to buy a Philips adjustment screw of the same size.

Does anyone know what size (l x w) adjustment screw is needed for a Dahua ipc-hfw5231e-z camera? Thank you. Greg

I created a time lapse file using blue iris and I store it on my local pc hard drive. I want to upload this to my website as a mp4 file. What steps do I take to upload this file. thanks. Greg

The camera works fine. Your suggestions were great which I then used to show the new camera was working. I then changed the lan ip address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 on my asus router. Thanks everyone.

my default gateway is 192.168.0.1 (not 192.168.1.0). Therefore the dahua ip is 192.168.0.239 (not 192.168.1.239).

I cannot set a static ip address as 192.168.1.108.

I used the dahua config program to set up my new dahua camera. The camera is connected as a poe camera with a 12v injector. When I do the initial search with the program I get 192.168.0.239. This is correct since I can view the connections on my router. Next I try a web log in and get the...

Could someone recommend a dahua camera. I would be taking a jpg and a timelapse video of the skyline and lower sky using bi. Would a 2mp starlight dahua be useful? Thank you. Greg

I mounted my camera sideways on a pole. I then rotated the video 90 degrees in blue iris. The video appears correctly (right side up) but the video is "condensed" sideways. The top/bottom video size is correct but the side/side video is only ~1/2 what the full video should be. Does anyone know...
