    Hfw5241e-z12 low light noise

    I'll see if I can record tonight. I typically have this set to record on trigger. I've adjusted my settings to: Night B/w 1/2000 Gain 0-30 Hlc 30 Noise 15 I had my gain 0-70 before and that may have been part of the issue. This is the only dahua that seems to exhibit the multi second or...

    Hfw5241e-z12 low light noise

    I'm trying to use this as an LPR. I know people have good success and my daytime settings are working well. My night settings are yielding lots of horizontal noise showing as white and/or black horizontal lines. Additionally it seems to take 30 seconds to a minute for any changes to settings to...

    Gotta love this.. Guess how PlateRecognizer tagged this plate? SCH00LBUS Maybe worth jumping over to another service, but luckily my road is a cul-de-sac and I get 2 shots at every car that enters the frame. On the way in the plate was read successfully. This is at max zoom ;) I need to...

    Anyone know if there's a way to send mp4 clips of the alerts to anything other than email? Emails getting a bit slow and I want more than just a snapshot. Tia

    I couldn't run latest docker with the home version I had. I went to 2004.. then upgrade my key to pro haha, had one laying around.. anyway I'd try getting latest updates. Maybe do a restore point before if you're worried about it mucking with your setup

    Hmm, very odd.. latest version of docker and windows up to date? I'm all out of ideas. I had my own issues with docker but the tray icon always showed up

    When you say exe you mean docker desktop? Or the container within? Does the docker icon show up in the tray on reboot? Did you use the restart always on the container when you ran it originally?

    Do you have the correct port? The example above assumes blue iris is 80 and deepstacks is 81. Looks like you have aitool look at 83. Is that all correct?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    It's probably the only issue I have with the thing, most other situations would be fine with a mask. You'd basically need dynamic masking that masks the final location of the car.. if motion detected and originating from masked area, clear mask. Very convoluted and prone to errors.. Just...

    Anyone have a good solution for driveways?? Don't get me wrong, this definitely reduces false alerts, but if someone parks in my driveway won't this register all future motion events positive? I'm trying to eliminate false alerts from trees swaying, but if you park in the driveway instead of...

    This will probably be an impossible feat. Did I mention my house also sits about 10 feet above street level, and this would be 15 feet high? Maybe I'll get up there on a ladder and see if I can see over the tree I'm concerned about for a more direct angle. This will probably be ~ 150+ ft

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Appreciate the honesty. Actually, if I pulled along side the local Telco in their pull pipe from the street I could mount near there, but I'd need to get into their box, and it'd be pretty out in the open. Maybe car id alone is good enough and at that point drop down to the 5 vs 12

    Make sure your command to run doesn't include " for CPU" that's not part of the argument

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    Hope this isn't a derail.. I want to add this camera but my angle to the street would be pretty severe.. maybe 60-75 degrees, there's a big tree that would block my ability to get this down. My house is at the end of a dead-end circle but the set back is between 40-100 feet depending on the...

    Yea I was having reliability issues that I think we're linked to two bad ram slots on my mobo. They are intermittent causing no boots periodically. In my debug I swapped sticks around and landed on 2x2gb, but had 2x8gb I forgot about . Anyways this thing flies now.

    Well I had an SSD and 16GB of RAM laying around.. clonezilla'd and dropped it in. All my problems solved. Slow pc = unreliable. Docker service set to automatic start, no issue, windows 10 pro.. but i suspect would've been fine with home.

    I have to come to terms that my aging pc is not capable of running BI and this workflow. I got it going but any image processing drive the CPU to 100% making the ability to respond to other events unreliable. I'll considering upgrading the box but for the time being I'll deal with my false...
