    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    It kind of looks slightly out of focus. Go to Video- Installation- and click on the "AF" button next to Focus. If you're running Max shutter at 1/120 with IR in complete darkness that's too fast and you should reduce it to 1/60. (I had decent results with 1/120 with IR but I also have two...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    Honestly, I'm not sure but I believe the settings in the ONVIF Media Profile will override the settings you have on the main page as BI will be pulling the stream from the Media Profile. When I had the camera on BI with those settings I did not really notice a difference in image quality in BI...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    See the attached images for the settings I was using with BI. I was running BI demo version 5.9.9.11 and UI3 worked well on my Windows 10 PC with Chrome, iPhone with Safari and Windows 11 PC with Chrome. I set the ONVIF account to administrator and made the user/pass the same as the cameras...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    I agree with @wittaj, Axis cameras are a different ball game and take a little getting use to if you're coming from Dahua cameras. I've noticed Dahua cameras are very granular when it comes to image and exposure settings where Axis cameras don't have as much customizability (They're still...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    For Face ID you really don't want to go anything higher than 6 or 7 feet depending on the location. My driveway camera is mounted around 7 feet and my front door is mounted around 5.5 feet (If I were to do it again I might go slighter higher but stay under 6 feet). It's important to stay under...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    Sorry I thought I captured that. Tone mapping is also set to 50. 3.50 meters is is about 11.5 feet which is much higher than I would mount to get a good face capture but as an overview camera it will probably be good.

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    When I first started using Axis cameras it was a little bit of a learning curve. Most of the settings you need to change in Dahua cameras to optimize them do not need to be changed in Axis cameras. Axis cameras usually handle the scene well at their default settings except for a few settings...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    1. Yes, Axis does not support a day/night profile like Dahua. However, there are some settings that can be adjusted on a schedule or with event rules. I'm using the same settings for both day/night in different locations and it's working really well for me. I don't have a need for different...

    What Axis Camera Stream Config do you use w/BI… GOP, FPS,

    When you add an Axis camera to ACS Edge, it creates a custom stream profile under System- Stream Profiles. For whatever reason, those stream settings add additional compression than the default settings on the camera. ACS Edge uses those stream profiles. I recommend using the camera's default...

    Axis S20-series NVR compatibility (s2006/2016/2024)

    These are old and no longer supported recorders. The minimum requirements for ACS Pro start at a 7th gen intel processor, however, the ACS 5 minimum requirements appear to be the the same. If they're running ACS 5 without an issue I would imagine it can handle ACS Pro also. If you look at the...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    I have one 60 watt rectangle LED dusk to dawn light for the driveway. The light is mounted a few feet behind the camera and a foot or two above it. I got it on Amazon a few years ago so I don't remember the specific specs of it. The front door has a single A21 style LED light bulb. It consumes...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    Np! The low light sensitivity is pretty similar to the Color 4K-T but Axis has much better image processing where it can handle challenging lighting conditions (direct sunlight, half the image is in the shade and half has strong sunlight, floodlight is shining on a face etc.). If you open the...

    How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris

    Which Axis OS version does your camera have? Axis OS 11 LTS (Long Term Support) is the latest LTS OS and Axis OS 12 is the latest Active Track OS. LTS only provides security updates where the active track provides security and feature updates. The most recent P1468-LE camera I received still had...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    The dome is definitely dirty and/or has moisture inside of it. Can you physically get to the camera to check if its dirty or has moisture inside of it? This is an important step to continue troubleshooting the issue. Not that it's going to make much of a difference at the moment, but if you...

    Axis still sells 1mp cameras. The Q6074-E is the current model of the PTZ discussed in this threat. AXIS Q6074-E PTZ Network Camera | Axis Communications I do agree with you that the camera is most likely 10 years old or older. The AXIS Q6054 Mk II series was discontinued in 2018. I don't...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    One major detail I overlooked on my first post. The Axis Q6054 is an indoor PTZ. If this camera is mounted outside, it's not designed for outdoor installations and probably has water/moisture inside of the dome. Here is a link to the spec sheet-...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    When did you purchase this camera? The Q6054 is really old and software updates ended in 2022 (For reference, Axis cameras usually get about 10 years of updates depending on the model). In addition to it being really old with an old image sensor/ processor, I don't even think this camera has IR...

    Hack for transfering license plate verifier to new camera

    I'm not sure if you can transfer the license once it's activated. I'll try and find out and let you know. I would recommend reaching out to German Protect to see if they can help you. Which model camera did you replace the P1448 with? If the new camera is compatible with License Plate Verifier...

    Hack for transfering license plate verifier to new camera

    The license key is tied to the serial number of your camera. How old is the P1448 and where did you buy it? Do you still have the license code for the License Plate Verifier app? When/where did you buy the license plate verifier code? Also, how is the P1448 broken?

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    Np! Either system will give you good night quality as long as you choose the right camera. You can even mix and match the cameras if you choose the right VMS. This forum is full of good information so I suggest reading a lot before you purchase anything.

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    @fastline12 I would just like to clarify some details about @wittaj post. Axis got hacked in the beginning of 2022. Based upon my research, only some of Axis's internal systems were affected. The hackers got in by social engineering and not by any flaw or vulnerability. The hackers did NOT get...

    I don't think that should be an issue but then again the sky is not in my cameras FOV. Just remember, these cameras are surveillance cameras, not broadcast cameras. Axis does have a line of broadcast cameras if you're interested in them. I've gotten the bitrate on my cameras to exceed 40 to 50...

    Yeah, I'm currently using the Timelapse 30 day free trial. I'm not sure what settings are available to stream to YouTube as I imagine that would be configured within the Camstreamer app. The P1468-LE uses variable bitrate and has technology to keep the bitrate low while maintaining image...

    I'm glad the white light is working for you now. I'm curious what kind of performance you can push out of it with the higher wattage security lighting. The downside to the 50-150mm variant of Q1808-LE is that it does not come with white lights (only has IR) and that aperture starts at F4.0 at...

    I don't read every thread or every post on this forum so I don't always see incorrect or misleading information. I'm not attacking you.

    I'm not disagreeing with you in regards to the Hik/Dahua field of view and yes I agree the Axis field of view is different when compared to Hik/Dahua. I'm only contesting the statement that Axis "plays games with their numbers" as I don't see any evidence to suggest that. I also can't think of a...

    @wittaj this is the 2nd or 3rd time you've posted incorrect and misleading information about Axis cameras on this forum.

    As taken out of section 3.2.1 of the Field of View in the Axis Network guide. A consideration to take into account when selecting a camera is the field of view required; that is, the area of coverage and the degree of detail to be viewed. The field of view is determined by the focal length of...

    How exactly are they, "playing games with their numbers"? The field of view is clearly listed on their website and datasheet. In addition, if you use the Axis site designer and input a google map image, you'll be able to see field of view and DORI distance at whatever zoom level you choose. On...
