Hi. I have an IPC-L26P WiFi floodlight camera to sell. I can't tell you the differences between IPC-L26N and IPC-L26P but the capabilities are the same. I'm selling it as I didn't realise these WiFi cameras can't be used with SMART PSS. You need to use the DMSS app or Dahua NVR. I have only...

Reverend, that last picture is amazing - I see it is from near sunrise so maybe a satellite. Though the tail is difficult to explain - it isn't wide enough to be ghosting on the sensor. It could be burning up in the atmosphere if the orbit was decaying. There are various websites that give...

It can be installed upside down (inverted) - there is a configuration setting for this and it's how I've installed mine. If you install it sideways the motion controls will be messed up and I don't believe this camera has a rotation setting for this. Edit: it appears you deleted your posts...

When did it become o'possum? What's wrong with just "possum"?

One of my UPS units is raised up, sitting on brackets. Not sure if this helps or makes it worse. My other is in a TV cabinet so I'll put a ceramic tile under this one. I'll be putting RPI-enabled smoke detectors in each cabinet now as well so I can be notified if there is any smoke. I just...

Now that I know the API exists I've been doing some more searching and found some examples. Looks like I need to do something like the following: curl 'http://username:password@<IP>/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=1&code=GoToPreset&arg1=0&arg2=<preset_number>&arg3=0' Has anyone got this...

Holy smoke - that's exactly what I was hoping for - I didn't know there was an API. How can I determine whether the cameras I'm looking at support the API in full? I take it a PTZ preset point takes into account zoom level as well as pan/tilt. If I were to use this to set the PTZ to a preset...

Thanks for posting this, I went and bought a couple of those balls to stick next to my UPS units.

Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a PTZ camera (such as the DH-SD49225T-HN or DH-SD59230U-HNI, but I'm flexible) with the ability to track to a location(s) based on existing sensors around my property. I'm not sure if this is possible and whether the above (or other cameras) support such a thing...
