For a simple solution without any network knowledge - I am quite happy with using a POE hub for the cameras and the second NIC in the BI machine and a second rj45 on a USB plug in the PI with Home Assistant. I also have just used a cable between that HUB and the internet when I wanted to...

What are your thoughts on life expectancy for a camera?

Do you use Video detection? I may have found a way to get the settings to save. It's seems (so far) that by changing the dithering setting that the grid / zone? settings in were saved. I plan to move to a Coral based AI detection scheme this winter so only need to get through the fall.

Do you have the Video detection turned off because you do not want to use it or because you cannot configure it? I've upgraded to the '18 version and still (and never) been able to save the setting in the video detection. I probably should stop but cannot seem to keep tripping over this...

Empiretech has a link in this group with the software updates. Latest New 20190111 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

I had not tried that. I had tried changing other things and the turning off the DST setting and have not been able to get it to survive and reboot. So... I just tried saving the change numerous times (5-6) and that did not work. I am using IE -- WOW wondering how long I can do that but---...

I have 6 Dahua cams on of which is a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IP Camera 2MP Starlight WDR varifocal with audio. This camera along with 5 of another other model all use the same time server but this one rolls back the this date. I haven't caught exactly when but I think it is when I configured them to...

I have wired cameras that are on a separate NW as described here. One network for camera streams. One for everything else. I prefer to keep a physical separation, I did however get a wifi camera for Christmas. I am planning to play with the motion for a little while but really wanted this to...

While your waiting for the Shelly egg - I'd suggest having a look around the Home Assistant stuff. It's a Open HUB that can connect nicely with BI and either take video or camera sensor data and include it in home automation or connect with most cloud and devices that support MQTT or Rest...

I did find the frames (yes there is another one now HA HA) beneath the main panel but am still at a loss how to join them back into the main panel.

Embarassed to ask but....I drug a camera off the default screen in the BI 5 application...... Can someone tell me how to get it back? I did look at around in the ? but didn't find this. Thanks

Thanks a bunch. I've got a list of nagging issues with our Home Automation and Entertainment stuff. I spent too much time on trying move some applications to another server and then switched to this thinking it was a quick win. I appreciate your help. At least that is fixed. Thank You

I've got 5 Dahua 2231 cams. One is somehow set to PAL standards based on the resolution it is sending. The others are all NTSC. I've not flashed or updated any of the cameras. I may have factory reset one or more but I just don't recall. If it matters - They came from Empire Tech so I feel...

Looking at it now - WDR seems to help. I need to get an assistant to help with speeding up the testing process! Not tonight though! Anyone have any thoughts on why the one camera secondary feed is a different resolution? Is there anything you rec checking before I reset it?

Any suggestions? Also - will this be part of the day or night mode settings? I'm quite fond of the day time results so would like to keep the changes to night mode is possible. I can use Home assistant to set the mode to night with using its sum trigger and hoepfully a rest command or I've...
