    Keeping PTZ in preset after spotter cam triggers it.

    I mean, the IVS is still going when the camera returns to default. But, whether the IVS are active or not, that camera is returning home when the defined ptz time is up lol.

    Keeping PTZ in preset after spotter cam triggers it.

    Checking in. Setting the return home alert caused the ptz to only do a double take as in it went to the spotter point and immediately went back to default preset. I disabled that and only used the duration alert. However, the ptz control duration supersedes the duration alert I created. I tried...

    Keeping PTZ in preset after spotter cam triggers it.

    Nice. I tried extending the break time as well. No bueno lol. The ptz would still return home after 30 seconds or whatever time I tell the ptz to stay on scene after being triggered by the spotter while being triggered by an IVS. I’ll focus on the alerts page. Thank you sir!

    Keeping PTZ in preset after spotter cam triggers it.

    Is it possible to have a PTZ camera stay in a preset after being triggered to go there by a spotter cam? Specifically when/while the PTZ is being actively triggered by an IVS rule? I ask because my PTZ returns to its home designation while being triggered. I changed the amount of time the PTZ...

    Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

    Hey Witt! Thanks for explaining the process to do this. I did it successfully and my PTZ returned home as expected. Odd situation for me (as always lol). I needed the ptz to move to preset 2. No big deal. Well, preset 2 is my night profile for my LPR so it switched to night. What I did remedy...

    What camera for overview?

    That turret conceals a little better. It is just for overview but I wasn’t sure if I’d be better off with another z12E for the money. I’ll check out the 4K/T or 180 cameras though i do not have hardly any light there at night.

    What camera for overview?

    I need another camera to view my driveway. I’ve got an IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E pointed at a gate where the yellow line is on the picture. What would be a good camera to watch the area in pink? It’s a stretch of about 120’ max. Should I just get another Z12E zoomed out? Or go with a IPC-T5442T-ZE turret?

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Hey guys! I have the “0” and “1” at the end of the ptz presets to designate night or day and when I press the call or select 1 or 2 in the ptz preset it goes between day and night. However, in the events schedule both are reading “sunrise”. Any idea what may cause this or is normal? Edit: I...

    Day/night profile settings

    Good morning, I just completed the day/night profile program written in this thread. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-day-night-switch-utility-dahuasunrisesunset.18205/ After writing it all out and selecting the night profile and clicking the call button… sure enough, it goes into night...

    What would crisp up this image?

    You’re right I suppose. I sent the image from BI to my desktop to my email and screenshot it with my phone. I did just drop the sub stream and now the quality is clear as the SD on playback as in I can’t tell the difference. My next step was trying to get a clip sent to my laptop for viewing to...

    I’m on it. Ty.

    What would crisp up this image?

    100% agree and understand. I can call out plate numbers in live view of BI all day long. In playback, they’re not as clear and sometimes can’t read numbers at all. Whereas in playback from an SD (or live in BI) everything is crystal clear.

    What would crisp up this image?

    Yes I am in an attempt to “catch” an image. I’m guessing this is not so too good?

    What would crisp up this image?

    I guess what I’m chasing is that during a live view in blue Iris, the video is as crystal clear as my SD card. I can read the plates just as well. I just can’t or don’t know or understand how to playback that level of clarity. BI is definitely capable of displaying it.

    What would crisp up this image?

    I know Wittaj is right. However, the truck was stopped and you just can see the back of the jeep in front of the fuel truck. There’s not over 2 seconds difference. The camera had zoomed and focused at that particular point and was only recording. Immediately after the truck moved, the ptz...

    What would crisp up this image?

    Here are two from the actual camera and BI. negligible. But, I’m trying to read plates during the day with my ptz lol. One is a couple of seconds later because BI stuttered a bit. The jeep in the second picture is off against the truck in passing.

    What would crisp up this image?

    Good morning, Both of these images were taken from a static fuel truck. One image is from the cameras SD card and the other is from BI itself. The more crisp image is from the camera SD. I did zoom in a little more in BI. Should I change the bitrate, fps, or leave well enough alone?

    IVS Recognition

    I can remove the majority of them. My only concern was length of time. To trigger in a tighter picture. The MD I was using with a tight box yesterday was catching the front of cars pretty quick. I’ll start there and zoom out if I need to.

    IVS Recognition

    I have SDs in both mine as well. I like what BigRedFish is doing. I’m only concerned about false motion alarms during the day. I’ll play with it. I know that both (either or) are doable with great results.

    IVS Recognition

    So, I’m guessing turn off onvif, set the camera motion sensitivity as high and then configure the actual sensitivity in BI?

    IVS Recognition

    Do most use the camera gui or BI with or without code project?

    IVS Recognition

    I started using motion detecting yesterday with wind blowing bushes pretty good. I got rid of 99% false alerts using medium on the camera gui. Do you run AI like deep stack or the new one?I also used your settings for night from another thread. I didn’t drive passed the camera and no one else...

    IVS Recognition

    I guess I’ll try motion detection and see what happens at that distance.

    IVS Recognition

    Good morning, Will the IVS in a IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E have enough time to run through its algorithms to be able to record and capture a license plate at about 145’? My driveway is pretty bumpy and the location is just coming out of a turn. So, cars shouldn’t be any faster that 15-20 mph. I can...

    Zoom priority vs auto

    98% of the time it the camera stays set to one location. It tracks about 25-30 cars a day for a 90° evolution. I was curious about wear and tear as the power consumption was increased. But, if cycles will kill it quicker than the IR illumination, I’ll let the lights run lol.

    Zoom priority vs auto

    Good evening, I’m adjusting the Illuminator on my camera and the zoom priority is noticeably brighter than the auto setting. Manually adjusted with 100% far it completely illuminates my FOV. Zoom priority seems to be a happy medium of far/near and is picking up cars better than auto. I’m...

    Continuous trigger every ten minutes or so

    I turned off that specific trigger. This morning my IVS stopped working in both my camera and obviously BI. Restarted the camera and it works fine now. New problem, my cellphone carrier stopped or slowed down delivery of my notifications. I now use pushover lol.
