    Time limit?

    The "perpetual" license only covers the versions within your first year. You probably installed the most recent version. To get rid of the evaluation message, you must install an older version, no more recent than the last supported date.

    Time limit?

    If you mean the demo/evaluation period, that's 15 days before you are expected to purchase a license. But it should have full functionality during the evaluation period.

    Funny / Satire

    The tail of a 747 doesn't have the ailerons raised like that and the wings and engine locations are different. I think it's a military C-17.

    Can we receive alarms/view videos remotely when camaras are not connected to the internet?

    The short answer is you secure your cameras so they don't have any access in/out to the Internet. Then you have your NVR with secure access in for viewing videos. The Wiki has a great article on this: https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

    Problem with Dahua IPC-T5442TM-AS 4MP

    Sorry, I confused it with the varifocal model.

    Problem with Dahua IPC-T5442TM-AS 4MP

    Did it exhibit this behavior before mounting? Is your focus set to automatic or manual? That view is rather close with multiple things to focus on in both the foreground and background. Maybe test it elsewhere to see if it is the specific location/view that is causing the camera to have trouble...

    Disconnect Sunba from China or anyone else

    The short answer is to not give the camera any access to the Internet. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ Without more details on the specific model of camera, how you are connecting to it and what method you are using to view/record footage, I don't have...

    Smartthings automation

    Regarding starting the edgebridge.exe as a service, first make sure you have the edgebridge.cfg file with the following settings: [config] Server_Port = 8088 SmartThings_Bearer_Token = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx forwarding_timeout = 5 console_output = no logfile_output = yes logfile =...

    Smartthings automation

    First, I would move edgebridge.exe into its own folder rather than just on the desktop since it creates other files in the same place. I have mine in C:\EdgeBridge. In the ST app on your phone, choose to add a device, do a scan and you should see a LAN Motion Device created (probably in the...

    Smartthings automation

    So it sounds like the LAN Motion Device hasn't been able to reach your edgebridge server and register itself. Can you post the settings from your BackDoor motion device in the SmartThings app to confirm you have the correct settings? Also, in the same folder where you copied edgebridge on...

    Smartthings automation

    Yes, it uses the new local Edge driver architecture rather than the older cloud-based Groovy architecture and it all works with the current SmartThings app and local processing. We had an Internet outage a few weeks back and the camera motion still triggered the correct routines. That wouldn't...

    Smartthings automation

    SmartThings has transitioned their hubs to a new architecture with primarily local control. This is a good step but the new Edge drivers do require new solutions. You mentioned "Edge Bridge" and that's the solution I would recommend. It isn't as difficult as it sounds. This post on...

    Is there a way to make certain cameras private?

    Update: I just went back and read the section on camera groups in the user guide and there IS a way to do this more easily. First start by assigning at least one camera to the new "kids" group. Select to view the "kids" group and you should see one camera in the view. Click on the "Edit layout"...

    Is there a way to make certain cameras private?

    Unfortunately, camera groups are created starting at the camera level. You edit a camera and you can add it to a new group called "kids" (or whatever). Then repeat for the other 61 cameras. Finally, under users, click to limit them to camera groups and pick "kids". Have you considered whether...

    I have a created a guest ssid under openwrt 22.03 firmware on my tplink router - can not view/open camera by typing local ip address

    Most routers create a guest network with client isolation enabled. That means two devices, even if on the same guest network subnet can't see each other. Check your router to see if you can disable that setting for testing. By the way, doing things this way doesn't really separate your cameras...

    Help Enhancing picture House Broken into car stolen

    There aren't really enough pixels to work with from this distance. I did try to add a little sharpening, but that's essentially adding noise. You might be better off hacking into the NSA satellites, then using the "zoom and enhance" command. It must be possible because they got a perfect image...

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    it looks like the two events were separated by less than a second. It saw the 'usps' logo first which seems to have masked the 'ups' event. I'm not sure how to ensure you get both objects reported simultaneously in the same event if they are separate, but in the same 10 second period. This would...

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    Personally I like to separate the function of the delivery detection to make it easier to send just those alerts, but I don't see why it wouldn't work combined. For me it is easier to deal with issues, say if the detection of another object is causing conflicts.
