    Change Day Schedule on Dahua IP Camera via Dahua API

    Another wrinkle? All of my cams have IR, I think, so maybe that would not matter for me. No... wait... the B180's do not have IR. Ugggghhhhh. So I'm wasting time trying to find a freelancer to do this, huh? Yeah... I found a chart for my area that I could pick the day of the month for sunrise...

    Change Day Schedule on Dahua IP Camera via Dahua API

    Where would I find this "month update code APP" that has to run at 12:01 or actually 00:01 each day? Feeding this info to a freelancer.

    Yeah... this is way above my skill set. This is just way too much information to absorb and figure out. I thought maybe it would be something simple, but it ain't for me. The freelancer will have to do for this, or I'll have to live with setting the time plan for each camera and live with it...

    lol.... too much information and too much to try to comprehend for me... sorry. I posted in the HA forum. Let's see if I get some dumbed-down responses. Too much is taken for granted in a lot of these responses, with steps missing for the hillbilly.

    Can both of the commands run at the same time each day... or do I need to trigger the Day URL at sunrise and Night URL at sunset?

    Change Day Schedule on Dahua IP Camera via Dahua API

    So there is only one configuration.yaml file that can be edited for the HTTP GET command. He says add it here, but there are two triggers, one for sunrise and one for sunset. They are going to call this file up to process the HTTP call. I'll post in the HA forum to see if anyone can suggest the...

    I watched it. He's using a push button to make the call. I guess I'll have to train our cat... lol. I need to look at it and see, surely there is an time scheduler I can set to make the call.

    I will watch it. I can put it on the camera VLAN if it's something I think I can do.

    I've hired freelancers to do things, so that might be a viable option. I also have Home Assistant. I haven't used it because I haven't found a real use for it yet. We have our lights and shades automated with Lutron for the ones we want to be automated. But even HA might be more than I want...

    If I knew how to do it, I would certainly be happy to do it. I don't understand it all, hence my willingness to PAY someone to do it. :) I'm willing to be the guinea pig for testing it... lol. I've written a few step-by-step guides before, for things I know ... check this one out: miniDSP...

    Does this in the first post work... and what's the hiccup with it (written back in 2017)? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-day-night-switch-utility-dahuasunrisesunset.18205/post-173556

    Sounds complicated. Maybe if there was a thread with step-by-step instructions for dummies instead of fifty-eleven threads/posts that you have to try to piece together what's what. I suppose those who can't figure out the API calls and don't have Hubitat are entering the sunrise/sunset times in...

    Carport camera recommendation

    I was reading reviews on that ZE S3, and it looks pretty good. I could set it to 3.6mm or vary it to what would work best, giving me the most coverage with the best freeze image.

    Probably more for day becaues that's when delivers are except in the winter when it gets dark at 4:30, but night wouldn't hurt to at least see the area.

    I'm agreeing to the move ... don't want to waste this kind of money by not having it in the proper location. I've the cable guys coming to run a cable for me out to my weather cam, I'll get a pole up for this one that is 30ft or more from the driveway and higher up.

    Carport camera recommendation

    I'd like to put something in the upper corner of our carport to capture the package dropoff table and as much of the rest of the area as possible. I think I'll get more width and height than my camera shot here by using a 2.8mm lens, but I'm not opposed to trying a varifocal if there is a chance...

    Thanks... yeah... about 3,000ft total. 6x6 at 6'OC. About to get a price on having it stained... scary number thought.

    I really like the 180° camera on the front. I think I'll get two more of those for the side and the back.

    Yes... I mentioned setting a pole 30ft from the fence. I just don't want to install it any higher than 14-16ft from the ground because then I'd have to rent something to service it. I don't know how often that would be, but I'd have to rent something to get it up that high to start with, then...

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    I could get another pole, but 14-16ft would be about as high as I could get it and be able to service it without renting equipment. I could install the pole farther away from the driveway. I could set it farther down the driveway and 30 feet from the driveway, about 14-16 feet high. There may...

    It's tracking past the pole, but it only tracks so far before stopping. This is as far as it will track before returning to the preset, which is not nearly as far as it tracks when a vehicle is leaving the house. Would it help to have this position as preset 2 and set a tripwire here to...

    Should I lower the Tracking Target Size Ratio from 25 to 20? Or is this just a lost cost unless I move the camera farther away and higher up? I can move it and run a cable underground and up a pole. I've already spent $2K+ on the camera... I need it to do what I need it to do. How far is far...

    My mother's driveway is about 600ft from the pole and our house is about 1200ft away. I was hoping to track down the driveway until it can't track any further. It does a great job when a vehicle leaves or when a vehicle passes by. Watch this one...

    Still no love for this very expensive camera. The 25x is much easier to set up and actually works. Here's from the All Clips ... the Alert stops tracking as the truck turns into the driveway. Can't upload to forum... doesn't like my video clips for some reason...

    I had it set on 35... changed it to 30 and it will get tested several times tomorrow (later today). Tracking is set to 300 seconds, so it should have followed me down the driveway and stayed zoomed in on me pretty much all the way to the house.
