    Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?

    The fact they hid my question on their forum, Andy ghosted me, and they don't provide the API that they must provide to big companies makes it seem to me like they have a financial incentive not to supply the info that many people obviously want to control their cameras. Otherwise what would...

    Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?

    I just need to find a company that doesn't play "I have a secret with the API." They obviously provide those commands to SecuritySpy and Blue Iris so that their software can control their cameras. And they advertise these capabilities, so why don't they let paying customers know the API since...

    Alternatives To Dahua Or Hikvision?

    Bump, I'm also looking for alternative to Dahua. In February of 2024 folks recommended Dahua so I bought three different versions of Dahua camera from Andy. I want to order a half dozen more, but I am having an issue getting HTTP Requests or ONVIF to work with the cameras. I posted about the...

    Bump.

    Dahua PTZ1A2M-25X, HTTP Requests, Moves Up and Down but that's it?

    Updated the firmware to the latest (which didn't change the PTZ version or Web Version, not sure if that matters), but still having the same issue. Up and Down work, nothing else does. http://192.168.132.117/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=0&code=Up&arg1=0&arg2=1&arg3=0 <Response [200]>...

    Dahua PTZ1A2M-25X, HTTP Requests, Moves Up and Down but that's it?

    Trying to control this camera with HTTP Requests. So far I can get up and down to work using this format: http://192.168.132.117/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=0&code=Up&arg1=0&arg2=1&arg3=0 which works and returns <Response [200]> Similarly down works with...

    2024 EmpireTech Autumn Sale Plan

    I didn't realize there was a temp measurement version. I just came here to see if my IPC-TPC124X-AI-S2 would show temperature on the screen rather than just thermal colors only to discover there is a TPC-DF1241-T-S2 "temperature measurement" version also. So I'm guessing the IPC-TPC124X-AI-S2...

    Setting up Auto-Tracking on a PTZ1A2M-25X

    Tried doing that but while it shows me drawing lines and graphics, anytime I try to apply the rule it says "please draw graphics" as if I haven't drawn any. Might be related to the little message "To use this function, please download and install the plug-in. Click here to download" telling me...

    Setting up Auto-Tracking on a PTZ1A2M-25X

    I think blue and white. Looks like this.

    Setting up Auto-Tracking on a PTZ1A2M-25X

    I've been using iSpy and I like it, but it doesn't do auto-tracking from what I understand. I think this camera has some kind of native ability to auto-track where it follows a moving object around by panning and tilting the camera to keep it in the center, but it only does this for a few...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    Mom and two cubs. I need to get more of these cameras around the property and then it won't take long to get good stuff to train an AI model.

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    That's good to know. I guess we'll see how it does in Alaska at -5F. As an aside, the DHI-TPC-SD2241-T is working well. I wish it had the optical zoom of the other camera, but for spotting living things it works well. I still have a thermal bullet camera to test out and add to the mix. Then...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    Can anybody recommend a dome enclosure for the PTZ1A2M-25X? I definitely need to get it covered before the snow starts.

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    Thank you, I will definitely check that out. The functionality I'm ultimately looking for (which may be optimistic) is to run about 16 cameras, have some PTZ cameras slew based on alerts from other cameras, have some PTZ cameras slew based on audio (not just audio, but AI determined types of...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    I'm thinking about getting Spy Security for MacOS to start this process of trying to integrate audio and various cameras. Then will try to figure out a way to do it with ONVIF & linux scripts although I'm not optimistic about that....
