    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Yup, I tried this. I went into Customized scene (that's where I could add the schedule) and then flipped it to Day/Night but it wouldn't save and kept reverting back to day mode (when it was night). Reading more on here, it looks like it may be a flaw in the Dahua software and not have a...

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    All cameras except for 1 show General. The last one shows “day” and it doesn’t matter how many times I click General and apply, it still doesn’t save.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    I’m on a Mac so using pale moon and Waterfox. I did make some settings changes in the NVR but the schedule is in the camera itself… I didn’t see the option for schedule in the empire tech NVR

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Yes I setup schedule and am adjusting in day mode settings and then again in night mode. Nothing is staying and it keeps reverting back to original settings. Even after I click apply 10 times.

    Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras

    Did this ever stick? I’m having the same issue myself now but can’t get it to stick in Day or Night mode. I click “apply” but it’s like it never actually sticks….

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    So if I’m understanding you correctly, since the Z4E isn’t using OCR, it’s functionally using VMD to capture the “Vehicle” driving by and then in the snapshot (hopefully) you can see the plate (which this can also be done using the Z12). Now the kicker here is if you manipulate the night...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. Do you know where to find the dahua part #'s compared to IPC-B54IR PN's.... I keep searching for the 5442- Z4E but search isn't helping...

    Not trying to hijack but does anybody know if either of these NVR's will work with LPR?

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    You would use a port scanner on the PC to search the IP range of the camera that’s connected. Depending on which camera it could be setup as DHCP and take whatever IP the switch assigns it or if it’s setup as static right out of the box then you’d need to tell the computer what IP address range...

    Blue Iris on Homekit

    do you run your BI setup on a separate network or is it on the same sub net? (I’m running on a separate sub net so I keep running into issues)

    EmpireTech T54IR-AS-S3 1/1.8 Mounting

    You don’t technically need any adapter as the cam can be mounted directly to wall or ceiling.

    Are you using any AI? Is it an ONVIF alert or is BI doing the triggering?

    Day/night mode via HTTP for E541F-E2-AS

    I found this thread (attached below) about utilizing HTTP requests to trip cameras into Day/Night mode but for some reason, I cannot seem to make the code work for the Empiretech E541F (AKA Boob cam)...I'm assuming it's since it's multi-channel but cant be positive. Has anybody had any luck...
