    Proper settings to cut down on triggers.

    Hmm. I'm not sure if I should use the New zones one you have or keep new triggers only.

    Proper settings to cut down on triggers.

    I had done all of that, but I had not unchecked motion zones, and had all the other boxes checked as well. I'll get that changed and see what happens. I have new triggers only for the drop down and notice you have New zones/sources only (exclusive). What will that change? Thanks again.

    I don't use Code Project or any other 3rd part AI.

    Proper settings to cut down on triggers.

    I use the smart plans on my cameras, if that's what you mean. PTZ5A4M-25X as an example cam, I use the smart plan on this to detect motion.

    Sorry wittaj, when you say cameras with AI, are you asking if I use the cameras AI or code project?

    Proper settings to cut down on triggers.

    A couple of my cameras will have a lot of activity on several occasions. What is a good way to cut down on alerts in the timeline playback or is there even an option. I've tried several things, but I just don't seem to be doing the right thing since I may get multiple alerts in a short period of...

    What would a good upgrade to the DH-SD1A203T-GN be?

    I would like to upgrade my DH-SD1A203T-GN. Is there something out there now that is a PTZ like this cam that is any good. This cam was fine, but not great. I would like the best bang for the buck. Thanks.

    Yeah, 14 cameras, this is the only one giving any problems.

    My camera keeps going offline every couple of hours. What do I need to check?

    I ran the diagnostics from the camera itself. I don't know. I'll check the cables soon to see if that stops it.

    My camera keeps going offline every couple of hours. What do I need to check?

    So, how do you find out if it is the power or not? My switch will supply up to 30W on each port. This is my switch. https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-sdn-switch/tl-sg3428mp/v1/

    My camera keeps going offline every couple of hours. What do I need to check?

    I have not done that yet. I will try one and see what happens. It could also be that I need to make new terminations on both ends of the cable and see. That is one thing I have been thinking of doing.

    My camera keeps going offline every couple of hours. What do I need to check?

    From a TP-Link TL-SG3428MP switch that has a 384 W PoE Budget which I'm not using half the power of.

    My camera keeps going offline every couple of hours. What do I need to check?

    I have a fairly new PTZ5A4M-25X. It goes offline every couple of hours for a little over 2 minutes. I went into the Local logs and at those times it says Abort. Time 2024-05-08 06:41:06 Type Abort Log Content Time: 2024-05-08 06:39:16 What do you think is happening? Is there a setting I have...

    IVS question.

    Duh, I found that. None of those were on. I have not worked with minimum size before. Where can I find out the process of doing that? Thanks.

    IVS question.

    What am I doing wrong in IVS on my 5442ZE? I have it set to only do people and not vehicles. No problem there. But how is a bird a person? I don't like to think someone is at my door when I have the notification come, and then find out it was a little bird. Is it me, or just the way it is going...

    PTZ installation questions.

    I have put up many PTZs, I just have not had them as low as 12 to 13 feet before. I was just curious how this would be. Thanks for those videos. They help a lot.

    PTZ installation questions.

    Thanks. You always come through for me. The distance he will be looking is at most 100' at the height we are looking from. We were thinking of mounting on the flat top of the pole if possible. If we did that, it would raise the height a couple of feet maybe. Any idea what type of a mount...

    PTZ installation questions.

    My friend wants 3 more PTZ cameras (the new PTZ5A4K-25X) for various places. Where he wants them is going to be tough but can be done. How high is too high, and how low is too low? Do you think 12' high is too low? The other question is about the proper mount for one of the PTZ cams and where...

    PFA150 question.

    I have not worked with that mount before. So, I could use smaller straps? That is for sure something that will work? I'll know more when I get the mount, but I was trying to get everything in line so when it got here I was ready to go.

    PFA150 question.

    I saw that earlier. I just wasn't sure. So, I would have to use a 3" pole? My goodness. That is going to be BIG.

    Is there a trick to doing tripwire with the new GUI?

    Well, I ended up using intrusion. I have never used more than one rule in each before. Can I use multiple rules to hit certain areas for each camera?

    Is there a trick to doing tripwire with the new GUI?

    I can't do hardly any zigs and zags, at least in the direction I want to go. It is a larger area with several things that need special attention. Should I do several different tripwires or intrusions if I can't hit the areas I want the way I want?

    Is there a trick to doing tripwire with the new GUI?

    I'm trying to use tripwire with the new GUI in the PTZ5A4K-25X. It won't let me go in any direction I want. If I zigzag, it lets me do that a couple of times, and then I have to go in the direction it wants me to go before I can start a new direction. Do I need to do something special? All the...
