    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    For anyone wondering in the future, I was able to get around this by putting the NVR into bridge mode and bringing the cameras directly on to my network. Fortunately, they are still isolated from the internet and rest of my LAN using a VLAN on my unifi network.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I'm trying to use this utility with five T5442T-ZE connected to a new NVR (NVR8CH-8P-2AI). The NVR's ip is 192.168.76.2. Clicking through the settings to Add a Device, I see the cameras on the NVR's internal LAN are have 10.1.1.X IPs, which I obviously I can't access. But, if you access them via...

    Alternatives to Dahua (NVR) web plug-in?

    I feel weird installing Dahua's web plug-in on Windows (and idk if it's even available for Android Chrome) or using the DMSS app after attempting to keep the cameras off the internet. Are there any more reputable or open source alternatives? Thanks

    S3 animal detection

    Hi, so reading through the entire thread it sounds like different people have success with different settings? A few questions? 1. AcuPick on or off? If off, only IVS on? 2. IVS sensitivity? Default 5 or something higher? 10? 3. Long Distance Mode on or off? If on**, it looks like the...

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    I haven't gotten to this yet. I just started installing my Dahua cameras and Dahua NVR. I also ended up investing in an entire Unifi network which I think opens up some options with VLANs and network configurability. Now, I'm slightly less concerned about being able to block devices calling...

    @EMPIRETECANDY Can I get empiretech kit2 with black cameras?

    Ty, I'm assuming your prices are the same on your website vs emailing you directly? (How I've done it in the past)

    EmpireTech 9th Anniversary (Summer)Sales

    @EMPIRETECANDY Is the NVR8CH-8P-2AI compatible with the latest AI (specifically animal detection) features of the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 camera? Ty

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    Ty for the video, nice to get an idea of what to expect. Yeah, I'll probably try to think of something (VLAN, etc.). But I think I only ran a single cat 6 to my computer from this network closet making it unlikely I'll be able connect it to a 2nd (air gapped) NIC. I'll will always be concerned...

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    Interesting, I didn't even realize there was a local HDMI/mouse interface. Especially not one that would be different than the web UI. I was expecting to view everything over the network. I also didn't realize the NVR would include POE until reading the last few days either though... I'll...

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    So reading a little further, it does sound like my best bet is to stick with a Dahua NVR for compatibility with Dahua cameras. Am I going to hate the Dahua NVR UI/viewing capability? Any suggestions on a particular model NVR from Dahua?

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    Thanks for all the suggestions.. I might be going with a Reolink. I ran cat6 for 5 security cameras while the house was under construction but didn't wire cat6 to the doorbell so I like that Reolink has a wifi option.

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    This is for a different network of cameras than our main 16, with a significantly more limited appeal and usefulness (more of a luxury than necessity). If I can get a BI PC Raspberry Pi or something with the size and efficiency of an NVR I would do that. Otherwise, I'm trying to avoid building...

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    Are there any good options that have the convenience and simplicity of a Ring doorbell but without the annual subscription? And preferably with as good of privacy features as can be hoped for given the product? Or should I just give in and get a Ring? I have Dahua doorbell cam but without...

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    Is there anything special to consider when purchasing an NVR? It's going to be used with Dahua T5442T cameras, so I'm guessing sticking with Dahua helps with compatibility. I see a several options on Andy's website. Do I (/should I) still use BI or does it have it's own interface? As I write...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Hey, just want to confirm this camera replaced the T5442T-ZE? Great news about animal detection coming back! I was only in the market for like 4 more cameras...now I might be in the market for like 13 cameras! (to replace all my T5442TM-AS - 6mm's)

    Blue Iris UI3

    In the full Blue Iris app, you can right click a cancelled alert and Confirm Alert and the alert moves to the Confirmed Alerts list. In UI3, you can right click alerts and Mark as AI-Confirmed but all that appears to do is give the alert a checkmark? It doesn't move the alert to the Confirmed...

    Assuring that your 'Protected' Alerts survive a Database/Regenerate action

    Hi, this tool has been great. As an update to this script, rather than creating dummy yellow jpgs, couldn't you extract the AI confirmed jpg like you do in your other script? The resolution wouldn't be good but probably still pretty clear as a small thumbnail.

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    I just never realized it was an issue lol. I figured the alerts were small and it was convenient having BI manage them so they were easily retrievable (The most intersting alerts are exported to youtube though). We have 16 cameras, almost exclusivey dedicated to wildlife, with near nightly...

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    I guess the system isn't really designed to keep 4,000 alerts protected lol. It sounds like eventually the entire NEW/STORED drive could be filled with protected BVR until there's no option to manage/delete them.

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    It's defintely been an issue for a while (and probably why we've had so few alerts recently...). According to the logs, the locked number has slowly been increasing since at least September (when I started saving log files). Any chance like I asked originally, it has to do with Protected Alert...

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    Ouch! So really starting from scratch :eek: Thank you for the reply, I'll troubleshoot a little bit longer (hoping to avoid it), but will probably do it..lol Might try just deleting and regenerating the db first per @jaydeel 's suggestion in another convo.

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    I just noticed the following BI Warning. I'm assuming this is a continuation of the above issue. Only a warning, no errors in BI. Storage looks ok. Things seem to be recording ok maybe? We have seemed to have fewer alerts the past week or so.. I'm wondering if things aren't saving as they should...

    5.7.7 - May 24, 2023

    True, ty for the suggestion. I guess really I could just do it one by one as they pop up in BI... rather than trying to tackle them all at once.

    Lol and I know this has nothing to do with you, but there are just so many of them and to manually have to configure them for every camera seems insane :eek::eek:

    Funny that I google "RuleEngine" and really only find posts by you @jaydeel lol. Just wondering, the following is what I have in my ONVIF Events. To get rid of the extraneous RuleEngine/LineDetector/Crossed; I need to manually delete the {EVENT} in everyone of these rules listed for all 16...

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    A few months ago I reconfigured my entire database to match @SouthernYankee 's standard allocation post. At the time, I also relocated my alerts folder to my C: to keep it from growing and interfering with my two storage drives. But, somewhere I screwed up and still overallocated my drives (98%...
