    how do you set up IVS on a Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-Z?

    Nayr, Can you link to the web plugin.pkg you have installed (npmediaXXX.bundle)? The one from the Starlight turret (latest firmware you linked to) will crash for me in Safari every time and give me a plugin failed message almost immediately. If I install one from one of my older Dahua...

    how do you set up IVS on a Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-Z?

    Weird... also works okay on my wife's Mac running 10.0.1. Must be something strange with my Plugins or something.

    how do you set up IVS on a Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-Z?

    hmm... I just tried it on my server which is running an older build of OSX and Safari (9.0.3) and the lines showed up. Which build of Safari do you have Nayr?

    Yeah, the smart plan lightbulb is orange which I assume means enabled. I'm using Safari 10.0.3

    how do you set up IVS on a Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-Z?

    I can't seem to get any lines to draw. I've tried Safari and Chrome on my Mac. What gives?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I'm aware of how shutter speed works and I wasn't talking about getting non-blurry images. Having 2-3x the number of frames to ID something in a frame helps in my use case of capturing details about speeding cars. I've got angles where the car may only be in the camera frame for a second or...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I agree with you for foot traffic, but higher FPS is handy if you trying to read plates on cars going 35+ mph

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Does NTSC vs. PAL change the FPS settings that are available? i.e limit you to 25/50fps vs.30/60fps options?

    If I were doing it again now, I'd go with the either the bullet or turret 2mp Starlight models that nayr has reviewed. Based on my experiences, low light performance and high FPS for catching cars trumps higher megapixel counts. Any Dahua NVR will be fine as long as it meets your storage and...

    It's edited from 3 different camera feeds. It has freeze and slow motion frames for ID purposes.

    I installed a similar system for my HOA entrance to catch criminals and gate crashers about 3 years ago. All Dahua and it's been reliable. I would like to move it to Starlite cameras when I get approval for more funding. We have two gates and I use four cameras at each gate. I have 3 older...

    Dahua Video (*.DAV) Playback in Mac OSX

    I think the disk errors were due to me running it out of the download directory and some permission thing.. once I moved it to Applications it was happy.

    Dahua Video (*.DAV) Playback in Mac OSX

    Ah.. thanks. What about the stacked timelines when playing back several cameras? And I keep getting these annoying popups on the lower left about insufficient space.
