    AMCREST App - Setting static IP

    After jumping through some hurdles and fire with the Amcrest app I finally got it working with BI. My problems is this cursed app. During the setup it insisted I select a SSID even though the camera is connected via ethernet. Now that I got it working this way, how do I get rid of the wifi...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Oh yeah, this sound familiar. I think I went down the same path when I got my first T54IR-ZE-S3 only to have it fail

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Not familiar with this SW but I assume it changes the camera's profile. I perform this via a script I wrote running on a (Hubitat) hub which is on the same LAN as the cameras. No internet is required as long as everything is on the same LAN.

    Accelerating My Move from Reolink

    So far, I have replaced two out of ten of my Reolink outside camera with the EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 model with the plan to replace all off them when they either failed or gave me more trouble than what they were worth. Using them within BI is more trouble than they are worth. I could...

    SOLVED: EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Recorded Video Mostly Unviewable

    I "solved" this problem by disabling the substream which appears to have solved not just the jumpy live stream but the BI motion detection as well.

    SOLVED: EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Recorded Video Mostly Unviewable

    I installed another T5442T-ZE S3 and set the Encode parameters identical to the first camera as recommended by @wittaj above. For the BI setting I simply imported the BI settings of the first camera and adjusted the IP to match the new camera. As I am not using ONVIF (yet) I disabled this option...

    New Empire IPC-T54IR-ZE Old FW/Web Interface

    Yup. I am sending it back. BTW: I did get the FW upgraded but when I look at both cameras the 2nd camera shows IP Camera for model. Unlike the firsdt which shows IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3

    New Empire IPC-T54IR-ZE Old FW/Web Interface

    I ordered both from amazon. The 2nd camera was ordered by clicking the "Buy Again" button on my first order. I had no reason to assume this 2nd camera would be any different

    New Empire IPC-T54IR-ZE Old FW/Web Interface

    The problem is I don't know what this model is. I cannot find that info in the v3 web interface. Without that I dont know what FW I need to download. BTW: What is Smart IR and None Smart IR??

    New Empire IPC-T54IR-ZE Old FW/Web Interface

    I just received my 2nd IPC-T54IR-ZE camera but the web interface appears to be the old v3.

    GetEvents error / "Events: subscription 8000ffff"

    My problem started Mar 3 after 2AM the same time as the DST time change when we set the clock 1 hour ahead. Coincidence???

    GetEvents error / "Events: subscription 8000ffff"

    :)Found it. I was looking for "Platform Access" not "Access Platform". This old man's eyes couldn't distinguish the difference :oops:

    GetEvents error / "Events: subscription 8000ffff"

    Same question. I have an IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 and using the Web interface V5.01.0.1431017 and can't find any such option.

    GetEvents error / "Events: subscription 8000ffff"

    I can't find this option anywhere. Is this in BI???

    Some Reolink Cameras Stutter/Freeze

    What is weird though that others (same model) will work fine in BI. Another thing, if I use the Sub Stream Profile and plunk it into Main each problem camera works "fine". Crappy video quality but no stutter/freeze. My long term plan is to get rid of all my Reolink. I got and EmpireTech...

    I did but one of the cameras does not even have the option to set iframes.

    Some Reolink Cameras Stutter/Freeze

    Two of my 8 Reolink cameras often freeze (in BlueIris only) to the point were either the live feed or recorded video is unwatchable. The two in question are model RLC-510A and RLC-811A both work fine either via the Reolink app or other app such as VLC Media Player. The FW on all cameras is up to...

    Preview Window (All Clips, Alerts etc) Missing

    Absolutely will try it. Currently I deleted the old alerts and new ones are appearing correctly but I suspect this problem will occur again.

    Preview Window (All Clips, Alerts etc) Missing

    I did try to do the repair to no avail. Subsequent alerts after that time appeared fine until today. Now every alert preview is as shown in my original post. Just now, I tried the 3 steps you stated above which left me with no previews at all even though the db folder appears to have a *,dat...

    Preview Window (All Clips, Alerts etc) Missing

    Seemingly out of nowhere all my previews have been replaced as shown in the below image. I tried rebuilding DB, rebooting but nothing would restore them. Any idea what happened and how to fix this??

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Switches from Day 2 Night

    I am optimistic the reboot did the trick. Before that it was impossible to keep the profile on Day. Very weird. While I have your attention: In the URLs for setting profiles you provided you use zero (0) for Day and 3 for Night as a value for VideoInOptions.NightOptions.SwitchMode=0 (or 3) Any...

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Switches from Day 2 Night

    The log only shows "Login", "Save Config" (after I set the profile back to Day) and "Log out". Actually, I switch the profile via Hubitat using your URL (thanks for that btw) which ahs worked well without issue for weeks (months?) . When this issue started this morning, it was the Hubitat...

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Switches from Day 2 Night

    Nope it is actually switching to Night. The light outside today is pretty consistent. It makes no sense what so ever.

    EmpireTech IPC-T5442T-ZE Switches from Day 2 Night

    I don't know what I did (if anything) but today this camera randomly switches profile from day to night. I can not find anything in the setting that would cause this to occur. It appears completely random. Any idea what is happeneing and how I stop this?

    Camera Misses Snowplow

    I saw your post and my first reaction was, ":rolleyes:Seriously?" Then I saw your location. :)Not exactly snowplow country. Anyhow... In much of Canada (& most likely NE states) a blue flashing light means snowplow. When the plow is clearing it may be the only thing you will see. Apparently the...

    Camera Misses Snowplow

    I have my EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 for over a month now and can count on one hand missed motions/events. I am just blown away by how it can detect correctly identify a person walking down my dark street and, as far as I can tell, never miss an event. I am aware of only 2 cases (out of...

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    Thanks everyone for all your comments and suggestions. After looking into this "problem" it appears this has been ongoing for much longer than I thought. Lots of cancelled alerts going back a week incorrectly labeled with "Nothing Found" each were triggered by either the IVS rule for Trip Wire...

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    You record directly to SD or network and not via BI?

    IVS, Tripwire, ONVIF, AI Fail

    The tripwires are only there so I can record any activity in front of my home and on the street. The directions is important for my own vehicle. When I cam home in either direction I will not trigger an event until I pull into the driveway .What you are suggesting would cause the trip wire to...
