    License plate capture on private driveway

    My Loryta IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3 (AndyCam) is my best LP camera. It should work great at 30-40 feet from the driveway. It has been reliable as a rock. It’s mounted on a short 4x4 post next to a tree. I painted it with two colors of Rustoleum camo paint so it kinda blends in. I also use a 2MP z12...

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    Try adding the -AllowUnencryptedAuthentication parameter and try it. After all, the command is staying within your LAN, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Not sure why I don’t get that warning, though. Probably some setup thing in PowerShell.

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    Did you try using the simple code I posted? Just substitute your username, password, etc. PowerShell seemed to need the PSCredential object and the SecureString form of the password to allow the login to the camera.

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    No need to apologize! My biggest challenge is being a newbie to PowerShell, so I need to learn everything from ground level in an unfamiliar environment. I had considered programming this in Python, but I haven’t coded in Python in about 8 years, so II’m rusty there. At some point I’ll have my...

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    I have gotten past my authentication hurdle. I used the following code: $user="admin" $password=ConvertTo-SecureString "mypassword" -AsPlainText -Force $psCred=New-Object PSCredential -ArgumentList ($user,$password) Invoke-WebRequest...

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    Thanks for the responses. Had some family visits, so had to put this aside for a spell. I’ll post up what I get working when I get back to it tomorrow.

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    ….Still no joy, despite trying @wittaj ‘s suggestion. It appears the problem lies within how PowerShell sends the request to the camera. I have progressed to where PowerShell will bring up its own authentication dialog, and, after I respond to it, then it will return a proper response object...

    Dahua API Authentication From PowerShell

    I have a couple year old 5241 Z12 serving as a license plate camera. It periodically goes out of focus after the day/night configuration change triggered via Blue Iris. I am attempting to write a PowerShell script to query the camera’s focus setting and notify me if the value is incorrect. I...

    CodeProject AI thinks a cat is a person?

    The way people dress today, even I might think that’s a person, wearing animal ears and a long, fake tail with white pants. As long as CPAI doesn’t identify me as a pig, I’m happy. As I’ve posted elsewhere, it often thinks that rabbits in our yard are birds, and I’m okay with that. I think...

    Creating Timelapse

    The easiest/best way might depend on how long a period of time you want to condense. It is possible to do it in the BI clip export GUI directly if you have video already captured in a .bvr file.

    Harley sales keep declining.....

    I rode a bagger for about 15 years, mostly commuting to work. One day there was a late work dinner. On the ride home on a dark, twisty road, I misjudged my entry speed into a turn (I actually thought I was further from that particular turn than I was) and thought I was gonna get hurt. But my MSF...
