    Light too close 5o the camera.

    Yeah the lights are definitely going to wash out the image! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PLEASE HELP

    True. But if it’s all you’ve got they are better than nothing. I’d rather re-drill some holes than re-run cable again. I started out with a coax system and it was a pain to replace with Cat6. The ends of the BNC cable snag on EVERYTHING so you can’t exactly use it to pull the new Cat6 in its...

    PLEASE HELP

    Another option is to buy adapters to run the coax over Cat6. Then run Cat6 and use this system. When it’s time to upgrade you already have the cabling done! Win-win!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PLEASE HELP

    Honestly I wouldn’t waste time running the old-tech cables to use those cameras. Eventually you are going to have to do it all over again replacing them with Ethernet for IP cameras when you want to upgrade. I have boxes of old BNC cameras and a few DVRs for them but they are just not worth the...

    Profile Copy?

    I was able to go through today and ensure all my cameras are set up to “sync to profile 1” under the record, trigger, and alerts tabs. I then went into the cameras I wanted to behave differently under certain profiles and unchecked the sync checkbox and tweaked them as needed. I now have a...

    Thanks looney2ns I have apparently fallen behind the webinars! I’ve bookmarked the profiles one to watch tomorrow. I’m sure it has what I’m looking for! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dahua PTZ - one click pan/zoom to spot?

    Interesting! I have on screen controls enabled so you can click the right side to pan right, left for left, center to zoom. But it’s not exactly click a spot and camera goes there. A feature I’d love for BI to have is the ability to draw a box in screen and have it zoom in so that box fills...

    May need advice: digging trench for retaining wall. I'm out of ideas other than manual labor

    Rent a mini excavator! I did so to install some drainage and irrigation this spring. Best money I spent for the project! Would have taken me all weekend just to dig but had it done in a morning with the machine!! Now I’m trying to dream up reasons to rent it again since it was so much fun to...

    Profile Copy?

    I’m in the same boat. My profile 1 is the only one I use. I want to copy that to the rest as a baseline and then tweak from there. So I could have Profile 2 exactly the same but with different alert options, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who do y'all have for homeowners insurance?

    I technically go through a broker and he does price comparisons regularly. Haven’t been told there is a better deal since we switched. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who do y'all have for homeowners insurance?

    We’ve had AAA for several years now. Had a hailstorm come through in 2016 and they paid for a lot of stuff. Only thing they wouldn’t do is replace our roof, but neither their two adjusters (I requested a second opinion) nor our contractor could find any hail damage on it. Reroofed myself a...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Correct! You’d have a preset for north and one for south. The those cameras call the PTZ based on what they see. Then the PTZ’s IVS rules take over and it tracks from there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    You can have different presets, each with its own IVS rules. Then have it pan from preset to preset. It won’t pick up on anything as it pans between them. And the probability is super high that the thing you want to see happens when the camera is facing the other way. That is why spotter cameras...

    Work around is to keep motion enabled in the camera and clear the detection zone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Mine currently has no minimum size set, and has max set to 8191x8191. While the camera can track, I would not count on it to do so all the time. Even with humans it is all dependent on the placement of the camera, lighting, and ultimately the contrast of the object to it's background. If a...

    Heavy Rain make Flood into the Subway.

    Our weather doesn’t seem so bad after seeing those flood videos. I’ll take the heat over a flood! My lawn is still surviving but I’m watering pretty heavy to keep my new sod alive!

    What do you think of this Battery backup?

    Idk. The place I bought from seemed pretty legit. Found on Marketplace. Met the guy in his “shop” in the back of a tax office where no one spoke English. Had to drive through the shady part of town. When one of the units on the shelf didn’t turn on, he unplugged his computer and gave me that...

    What do you think of this Battery backup?

    I bought three used CyberPower 1500 rack units and replaced the batteries. They worked great for over a year but three have since failed. First one didn’t like the monthly generator changeover/test. The other two just decided to kill power randomly. I just bought two of the Costco cyberpower...

    Dahua 2231 NTP Issue

    I’ve been lazy and haven’t tried upgrading to fix my only camera with the issue. Tweaking the time zone has given a correct time that has held. So I’m just going to roll with it as-is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Difficult few days...

    Our dog had a couple seizure like episodes. They want $4k to do an MRI and spinal fluid sample! Seems perfectly fine other than a couple episodes over the last few months. Still trying to decide on that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Verizon vs. Tmobile

    Exactly what my thoughts were. Just annoyed me that to get our upgrade deal we had to switch to an unlimited plan, which ultimately costs more than the old plan we were on (we are on WiFi 95% of the time and rarely ever hit that data cap!). And the base unlimited doesn’t give you hot spot so I...

    My brother has been a huge tmobile fanboy and tried to get me to switch from Verizon. There were several times his girlfriend would text us and let us know he has no service wherever they were. I almost made the switch until my wife posted on the ol’ Facebook and asked for feedback. Nearly...

    Dahua 2231 NTP Issue

    This came up in another thread and I figured it deserved its own as it sounds like a few people have the same issue. I have a 2231 from @EMPIRETECANDY that won't keep time accurately. When I first set it up back in 2019, I had it set to use the BI PC as the NTP server and the CST time zone. All...

    BI 5.4.9.7 problem or IE configuration problem on Dahua SD49225XA-HNR PTZ

    I also have my BI PTZ settings set to ONVIF (OXML) for both of my cameras. I used Find/Inspect and that is what it selected. As for viewing video in IE, there may be a plugin(?) that needs to be installed. It should automatically prompt for download/install when you connect to the camera...

    2231 for me as well! Mine seems to have happened when I switched from nettime on my BI machine to using my pfsense for NTP. The camera keeps reverting to the BI address for the NTP server. I’m using IE and can change it, the time updates to correct. And if I log out and back in it shows correct...
