when you send a login command with no data you are returned a session key. Use that to create the MD5 hash required and us it for subsequent requests. Just to follow up on this I tried all this again about a month ago and got the same results - many commands would not work for me. Requests...

Thanks The hardware acceleration was not turned on. I was sure I had been there and checked that. Restarted the service and its now down to about 20% give or take. I'l keep working through the guide and see if I can tweak it a little more. On a similar note, is there a guide on how to get...

Hi All Just added two IPC-HDW5231R-Z Dahua cameras and the usage jumped from around 9% to 50+%. My thoughts are that i have not configured them the best in BI. Are there any recommendations for changes should make to get it running the best I can. Has someone exported then config for a basic...

I am using BI with my home automation system- CQC. I can send http triggers to get CQC to react to different events but there are times where I want the command t go to the alarm system and vice versa I want to alarm to send a trigger to BI say when the PIR sees motion. The alarm can send http...

Hi All I am trying to trigger a camera from my CQC server via a HTTP command. I have read here about how to use the username and password but I am still having trouble - I keep getting Authorization Required. The command is...

Hi all I am looking to buy the highly regarded Dahua HDW5231R-Z. I had a look around and the only place I can find any is Ali express - which appears to be regarded here as a decent place to buy from (I'm in Aus by the way). The review of this cameras recommends the seller EMPIRETECANDY but...

Thankyou As you can tell I am still learning the details and its these little bits of information that make the selection so much easier.

I don't have any yet but lets say in the 2-4mp range. If I am limited by the i5 to 2MP then that's the sort of thing I would like to know.

43 reads and no one has feedback on these PC's Please I need to pull the trigger ASAP and need some guidance i have done a lot of reading and it sound like the latter version support h.264. i don't know what the difference is between the ProDesk and The Elite Desk other than someone here...

I am looking at purchasing a PC for BI These two are the two on my short list HP ProDesk 600 G1 Intel i7 4770 3.4Ghz 8Gb Ram 1Tb HDD Win 10 Pro Desktop PC Elitedesk 800 G2 Intel i5 6500 3.2Ghz 8Gb Ram 500Gb HDD Win 10 Pro PC Desktop Both are the same price ($AUD) and the i7 is older being a...

Thanks for the feedback. After reading the links pointed to and some design consideration I have decided its not right for my solution. While I don't know how many cameras I will "need" just yet I do know that it may be up to half a dozen around the property. Resolutions and frame rates will...

I hate to ask this, I have read through here a while ago and have a very basic understanding of the requirements for a BI Server but I would like some feedback on the PC that has just come up on sale HP Compaq 8200 SFF i5 2400 4GB 500GB Win 7 Pro - Refurbished So its an i5 and from what I can...

OK, to answer my own question I found the line in the login section For all other commands, you must supply a valid "session" value as supplied by the login command. So I can get replies back now from the system. I am now trying to tell BI to do stuff, like change profiles and set the traffic...

I am testing out the json interface with BI - and I know next to nothing about json so bear with me. I am having some luck in logging in - I get the session key, create the md5 hash and then I can log in. I am stuck from there. If I try to issue a command say camlist ("cmd":"camlist") to get...

what was the outcome from this. they are still showing up on Amazon at this sort of price - did anything arrive?
