    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks. If that's the case, when using the doorbell camera without a mechanical door bell attached, wouldn't it just be much better to simply skip the resistor and buy a transformer with a more suitable (lower) voltage? EDIT: I found this product review where it says: I guess that "resistor"...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Can someone explain why on earth I need to mount a resistor in series with the power feed (as instructed in the Quick Installation Guide) (for installations without a chime box) If it was a fuse I'd understand but a resistor? What good can it do more that generating heat? Really?

    RCA HSDB2A Notification to Home Automation System

    I have a different router than the one used in the thread Dahua VTO2111 notification to home automation system but it seems that I'll be able to SSH into my EdgeRouter and issue a tcpdump command tracking traffic to google notification server. If it works, that would be an awesome solution...

    RCA HSDB2A Notification to Home Automation System

    Hello There! I just ordered a RCA HSDB2A and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I don't have an existing traditional door bell. I'm currently using a push button connected to a Z-wave device. That works great but my new Doorbell Camera will have only 2 connections that by "some magic" is used both...

    Detect any kind of object using MAX Object Detector

    Hi there! I'd like to share with you that I've successfully set up a local web service API in my LAN that will detect all kind of objects in an image. It can recognizes the objects present in an image from 80 different high-level classes of objects in the COCO Dataset. You simply supply a...

    I can't post due to that CAPTCHA is not working

    I'll give it another try today. I will leave out the URLs in my post and maybe make it shorter in an attempt to avoid the CAPTCHA to show up. Cheers! EDIT: It worked by posting a short text. I could then alter the text without any CAPTCHA turning up. BTW, here is what the CAPTCHA check looked...

    I can't post due to that CAPTCHA is not working

    I wrote a long post about how I set up a local web service API that will detect all kind of objects in an image. However a pesky CAPTCHA verification comes up in my browser. (Due to that I wrote a lot of text i suppose) It's garbled and I can't complete it. In some browsers that I've tried on my...

    Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API

    Thanks a lot @nayr for sharing. I'm curious though what kind of settings you've made to improve night time quality vs day time quality. Can you elaborate a bit further on this subject? Thanks!

    Enable/Disable Privacy Masking using the Dahua HTTP API

    Hello there! I'm struggeling to find out if it's possible to Enable/Disable Privacy Masking by using the Dahua HTTP API. I've tried but until now, I still haven't figured out if it's possible. @nayr made a posting about Switching Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API that has been really...

    Dahua Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS)

    You are sure right about that and from now on only varifocals will be considered when buying new cameras. But for those people (like me) that already has a 4231 and are willing to spend some bucks and some time to change the focal lentgh, does anyone know where to buy such lenses and how to get...

    Dahua Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS)

    So true! I agree with you 100% I wonder though if lenses are available to be purchased separately and if it's possible to replace them... allowing a 2.8mm camera to become a 6mm

    Chicken Coop Camera Suggestions

    That would be nice I think. It would be more of a hen's perspective. I cant have poultry where I live now. A few years ago when I could. One thing that I remember is that during some time there is a "poultry dust" building up. It's like a white powder and I guess that unless removed regularly...

    Limit alerts to occur only when motion occurs in specific zones

    Thanks ;) Yes, that's how I do it because normally unless something special has happened I have no interest to watch the video footage. BI together with the BI App is a such a great combination.

    Limit alerts to occur only when motion occurs in specific zones

    Thanks @fenderman. I will try to adapt to the way BI works. I might clone the 4 outdoor cameras later as you kindly suggested. While phone/email alerts are nice and useful features, I prefer to generate "native BI image alerts" for motion triggered events that needs my attention. Using "Native...

    Limit alerts to occur only when motion occurs in specific zones

    Thanks. I'm not concerned about images taking up storage space. My idea is to set up BI so that alerts are few and should cause me to stop what I'm doing and pay attention to what's going on. Currently my home automation system switches profile in BI whenever my robotic lawn mower mowes...

    Limit alerts to occur only when motion occurs in specific zones

    Thanks @fenderman Below are my settings that I believe are relevant. My three zones. I don't wish to have alerts for zone C. The trigger tab and the motion sensor dialogue The record tab The alerts tab The resulting alert clips marked "Motion C". (It's probably irrelevant...

    Limit alerts to occur only when motion occurs in specific zones

    Hi! I've set up 3 non overlapping zones. I want recording whenever motion detection is triggered in any of those zones. I'd like to limit alerts to only 2 of these zones (A and B). E.g. I don't want to have an alert when motion has been triggered only in zone C. Clips are indeed created for...

    The Timeline View is not easy to grasp for me ...

    Thanks @fenderman for your kind help. I appreciate it a lot. Well, that explains things indeed. This is the way I prefer to see it. But what would you say are the benefits of the "combine or cut" feature? Why would I like to do anything like that?

    The Timeline View is not easy to grasp for me ...

    Please forgive me for being such a noob but I can't seem to understand how the Timeline View works. Here is what my Timeline View looks like. I have 7 cameras set up, each with a different color. First I thought that each colored rectangle represents a recording using a specific camera and...

    Playback timeline empty for a Dahua 2MP Starlight camera

    Maybe I'm trying to do something that is not even supposed to work. I have 6 Hikvision cameras that were quite easy to set up doing the same thing. If You happen to know if it's even possible to have a Dahua 2MP Starlight camera to save recordings to a NAS (using NFS) and then playback those...

    IP cameras that don't require Windows for playback/administration

    Hi there! I have a couple of Hikvision cameras and they all come with a Web GUI that require Windows or Mac to allow their web components to run. These are necessary for playback. (Live view can utilize VLC though) I've decided to try a Dahua IPC-HDW4231EM-AS but I guess the situation is...
