    Need to replace entire system for LPR and overview

    With my HFW5241E-Z12E at maximum zoom, and when vehicles curve around the street and are facing the camera at about 130 ft., I can peer into the vehicles on video playback and can see basic characteristics, albeit only when the lighting is right.

    Need to replace entire system for LPR and overview

    Here is the AMZN storefront for EmpireTech-Andy, where with Prime shipping, cameras can be delivered by Wednesday: https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A329YQ83EBQGJF&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER Another avenue is to email Andy and he sends you a PayPal invoice, and drop-ships from Hong Kong via DHL...

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    Thanks, Tibbar, my PTZ is now at version "2.600.0000.2.R.R4.2510.9A.NR, Build Date: 2017-09-05" Wondering if there's any firmware update beyond 2.60 which will allow this model to do IVS tracking? I see that I had to change the PTZ settings within BI to "Dahua New V4" for the PTZ functions to...

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    Okay, I looked in my file storage and do see this RAR file from December 10, 2018, not sure if this would be one of the missing files . . . "DH_SD-Mao-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_IVS_V2.623.0000000.7.R.1811242" @Tibbar above said the upgrade path is to use the 2.60 before the 2.62 or the 2.63.

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    My take is that Dahua abandoned support on this particular model. Would have liked to see if any later and valid firmware updates had provided IVS tracking capabilities before they stopped support.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    Thanks, TVille, the PaleMoon 32bit on Win10 works well with my older PTZ. Now I just have to figure out IVS. Update: Alas, my older PTZ's IVS does not support tracking.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    MSIE has the same issue which Holbs documented. The plugin shows the live feed but floats over the web controls, making it impossible to set up IVS.

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    Would you recommend the 32 bit or 64 bit IE11, running on a 64bit Win10?

    A browser that WORKS for camera interface

    So I tried to set up IVS today in my 5 yeat old Dahua PTZ, and of course the video feed never worked within the browser. So I tried to download the required plugin (NACL). Nothing happened in FF. So I tried Edge, and nothing, but then I realized it was a Chrome extension. So I downloaded and...

    UPdate: FIXED:Can not upgrade SD49225T.

    I'd like to update my SD49225T-HN PTZ cam as well, stuck with the original 2.4.22 version. Hoping to find a way to view the live feed within the web GUI in order to try the IVS setup. Update: Sent Andy an email asking if he happens to have any links to 2.62 and 2.63.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    So I am receiving this Amcrest AD410 later tonight, to replace the inimical Ring Pro, which has been next to useless in responding to doorbell presses via their app. I don't want to block the internet as I wish to use the Amcrest app. I also want to integrate it with BI and possibly HomeSeer...

    Any limits on the autocheck.com api?

    OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras

    Is the upgrade with the downgraded local storage being forced out? Or are you choosing to do the upgrade of the client? I don't understand why OpenALPR would care whether clients locally stored 8, 80, or 800 GB.

    Zoom stops working on my SD49225T-HN

    My SD49225T-HN PTZ/zoom/focus functions work well in the GUI, but BlueIris' controls have stopped working. When I click on any preset or zoom, the camera frame momentarily turns blue, but the command never reaches the camera. I've tried the camera restart as well as disconnecting and...

    HP EliteDesk good to run BI?

    I purchased a used HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF on eBay, and it is working really well for BI. It has an i7-6700 CPU with 16 GB of RAM and Win10Pro. I added WD Purple HDDs for video, and an SSD for the OS and BI.

    Any limits on the autocheck.com api?

    I wonder, too, where the source data is. Many of these look up sites are reseller partners to wherever the data comes from. I suspect one of the sources is Esperian; they offer products to consumers, dealers, and to reseller partners. But their bulk data is very expensive, and includes a lot of...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Thanks for these tutorials, wittaj. I imagine that as soon as a camera's IP is statically set and changed, then the GUI login fails, and a person would have to log into the camera's new IP.

    LPR to open a gate - using blue iris - Smart Life App can control

    HomeSeer is a bit pricey, but there's a BI plugin. LiftMaster/Chamberlain offer gate openers with wifi, and there's a MyQ plugin for HomeSeer, too. In addition, HomeSeer has an RFID plugin, and an email plugin, among dozens of others. Not sure how these would all fit together with a LPR...

    Looks like we've found a site which allows plate look ups for VIN, year, make, model, engine and body. They are charging $15 a monthly subscription for this service, per individual, via PayPal. Details to follow.

    The vini.az website returns free spec data via a URL, using the VIN: https://vini.az/en/specs/{VIN} Registering for an API is easy. Their API page shows how, and also how to add funds, check for balance, run a report, etc. But the report types are autocheck, carmax, etc. which will return a...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    I sent them a question on whether specification data can be acquired from just a plate. Their contact page stated that they are open to proposals, by the way. Integrating any non-autocheck process into the public GitHub code you are using would require GymRatz's or another C programmer's work...
