    How do automate backups?

    I have used Reddawg's BI5updateMgmt-v2.0 along with BI auto export for years. You can never have enough backups of the BI registry as this is where ALL the settings are stored and ran from.

    Hourly gaps in recording

    I was having this exact issue with my 180 cam. I only specified 4GB and that wasn't enough. Changed it to 6GB and it has been perfect just like Vettester's above. As you can see, sometime the clips came in under 4GB, but some not.

    Here is the API manual, but not sure if you can trigger an IVS rule. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/latest-version-of-dahua-http-api-for-ipc-documentation.45213/post-833247

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    So been testing this action set feature to the sunrise/sunset and running a web request. It works when I manually set the time a few minutes ahead to test everytime, but for some reason BI is not running the action set correctly when configured to the "Relative to sunrise/sunset" option. Just a...

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    yes, I use the same string on my IPC-Color4K-T180 and it works fine. Also use it on older Dahua cams. night profile string: user:password@192.168.200.149/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=1 day profile string...

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    I found that you do NOT need any delay between the web request. I had one of my cams wrong and that is why it wasn't switching. Now it all works great Action Set 1 I used for sunrise Action set 2 I used for sunset Then just added all the cams I want to change under ONE cam's...

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    still playing around with it. I did find that I can just configure one camera to a "Action set1" but then just keep adding more cams, I also put a 1 sec. wait time between switching, not sure if it needed that, but it works great.

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    Now you can configure the web request command to switch Dahua DAY/NIGHT profiles, without using the PTZ preset method. At this time Ken has added 8 "action sets" which each cam will require 2. I was hoping and he still may, just add the "web request or MQTT" command" as that is all we need to...

    BI5 crashes after 10 seconds.

    I also like to check my crashdump folder to see how often BI crashes. C:\Users\BI\AppData\Local\CrashDumps You can open the .dmp files by using Windbg available in the windows store. I tried it but way too deep for me at this point :)

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    I thought I noticed that on some of your first clips. Why I'm hesitant to try the animal firmware. I do not see that type of movement on mine. Maybe go through the global config once....just guessing what might cause that, like its too sensitive.

    capturing loud sound (car horn) to trigger event in BI

    I messed with it and could not get it to alert as well. Maybe someone else will chime in. I played with the sound detection in CPAI and it worked there, still waiting for that feature to be added in BI.

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    Nice clips. I would like to make my tracking continue longer once the subject quits moving. As in the cat capture, my tracking duration was set to 60 seconds, yet this did not work, and it returned to home. So far, I think this is a setting we cannot adjust, once the subject stops, it would be...

    SD5A425GA-HNR detects cat ??

    That is what I am running and yet mine will track an animal, even with the "human" target filter selected. But that's ok, it works great on people, and I hate to mess with the firmware.
