I haven't gone back to try again, been busy in retirement:-). Not sure I can answer with a lot of tech background but here's what I've seen. When I installed ZT I had to tell it what my "nodes" (devices) were, especially my BI PC. Part of ZTs security is reassigning that PC with another very...

Yes, and I forgot to mention I'm using Firefox although I could also use Chrome or Pale Moon. So UI3 (from GitHub) doesn't need to be loaded on the remote PC in my den, which is on the network? ZeroTier assigns a new IP to the BI PC; for example, from my phone while on WiFi or not, the LAN...

Edit 4/9/2024: Revised screen shots and explanation after learning more. SOLVED Here are the settings I found that do what I needed, which is to alternately display one group, then another, in an auto-cycle. From this view, select the circled gear icon to bring up the group settings for that...

I've read the manual about group auto-cycle, but I may be mis-interpreting what that means. Here's what I'd like to do if it's possible to do it. I have 4 cameras for the front of our house and defined as a group called "Front of House" - very original, I know. I have another 4 cameras in a...

Need some help installing UI3 on one of my desktop PCs running Windows 7 Pro. This is a separate computer in my office NOT containing my dedicated BI system. I use ZeroTier, which is probably irrelevant at this point, but I've tried entering the LAN IP in my BI phone app (IP created by ZT)...

Very nice, thanks for sharing! I saw your other YT of Orion and the satellite. I have an IPC-B52IR-z12-s2 coming soon and I'll have to try some stargazing at the 12x (60mm) "telescope" setting. My real telescope is a 10" f/5.6 tracking split C-ring Dobsonian I made a long time ago, but never...

To close out and answer my first question "Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself": Answer: In the BI Manual, go...

I'm interested if you still have it.

For your Part 1, maybe I didn't say it very well but that varifocal doesn't have presets in the GUI like my PTZs do, so not an option, maybe to avoid unintended abuse. I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.

Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself. I have a 2017 Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z (zoom only) without the PTZ/Preset...

TBH, can you elaborate how you get to, and turn off, the digital zoom with a CGI command? I have an older Dahua that is stuck at about 1-1/2x digital zoom and scrolling out to 1x (no digital zoom) is fine while I stare at the image but as soon as I view another cam and then come back to the...

In theory, if I have a Dahua PTZ292 cam as a stand-alone camera (i.e., don't use a separate trigger cam) and..... - Preset 1 is set to widest angle as default position - create (for example) 4 detection zones A, B, C, D - when zone A gets triggered the PTZ goes to preset 2 and zooms to that...

Next step is getting the PTZ window to override the trigger cam window when triggered.

I have been frustrated with finding the right setting to get my PTZ camera to hold, or "loiter", at a preset position triggered by my trigger cam, but I found it. In the PTZ camera's settings, in the PTZ/Control tab, "Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec)" , is what appears to control...

I FOUND IT! See the attached image, Not able to paste a snippet for some reason, but in the PTZ camera's settings, in the PTZ/Control tab, "Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec)" , is what appears to control the loiter time when directed to a preset by the trigger cam. I played with...
