    Amcrest ASH43 configuration issues, substream, etc..

    Does any company sell a solution in a box? One of these desktop computers with a WD Purple already installed? Like a DVR computer company? I don't know enough about this technology to actually know which computer to but that would be compatible with the WD Purple HD and all the other stuff.

    Amcrest problems with Blue Iris

    Just got a new Amcrest ASH43-W. I set it up using the android app, Amcrest Smart Home. Its wireless about 2 feet from router. I was able to add it to the app and it shows an IP address of 192.168.50.187. It shows up on my router as the same. Also, it shows up on the Amcrest Config Tool. but...

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    OK, so the entire process is to draw the IVS rule using the "Draw Rule". then you have to click on Max size and hit the "Draw Target to the right. But it wont let you actually "draw" it so you pull down the blue box from the upper left corner to create the max size. Then you click on Min...

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    This is confusing. What am I doing wrong with the drawing of minimum and maximum boxes. It wont let me save. It says I need to draw the box. But I already did. I drew a larger box and smaller box to represent the sizes of dogs. See attached

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    Does this look right? (see attached) So I dont touch the "Draw Rule" right? Is it normal you cant uncheck both Vehicle and Human? the "Max Target" size when I try to draw it, it doesnt do anything (doesnt all me to draw). It defaults to the entire screen. Im using Internet Explorer for Windows...

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    It wont allow you to uncheck both the human and vehicle boxes under objects. You can only take out 1 or the other. When you draw a min size box.. to do that, am I hitting "Draw Rule", "Draw Target"-next to target filter or "Draw Target"-next to Pixel Counter?

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    Not sure I understand. And I have only had 1 of these 2 cameras for a few weeks. Are you still saying to create a new IVS for objects or are you saying to modify the existing one I already have. I have 2 of these cameras right now (Garage and backyard needs to be setup yet). I would like to...

    Best PTZ camera for Wildlife

    I just purchased the SD49225XA-HNR. I am wanting to "track" my 125 lb Newfoundland dog around the fenced in backyard (80' x 100' x 80' and camera is mounted around 12 feet up on corner of the house). Can you provide some step by step directions on how to do this: creating another IVS for...

    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    I just purchased from Andy the SD49225XA-HNR and also had purchased the SD49425XB-HNR on Feb 9. I did not update the firmware. Here is the issue: On the SD49425XB-HNR If I stand still for 8-10 seconds, the camera moves back to the Preset position. Is there a way to stay on me longer? Is there a...

    Need recommendation for PTZ with dog tracking

    Can you change the sensitivity somehow? So that more little movement stays locked on? If so, how do you do that?

    Need recommendation for PTZ with dog tracking

    I have the 4 meg version of this camera installed in the front of the house. And it does this same thing: The only negative comment that people make about the 49225 model is that the auto-tracking will immediately loose it's subject if it stops moving or passes behind a tree or other structure...

    Best PTZ camera with tracking and spotlight under $500

    I know Im asking for a lot here. But looking for a solid PTZ camera under $500 that has a spotlight on it, IR, tracking humans (dogs optional) that can also rotate 360 degrees. That is fully compatible with Blue Iris 5 and has a wide angle if possible

    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    You had mentioned something about brightness and contrast being 10 points apart?. I thought I made this change but now doesnt seem like it stuck. What was that suggestion?

    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    Something else in my testing.. This is during the day. Havent tested at night yet. But I can be 30 feet away or 5 feet away. If I stop and stare at the camera... Try to move the least I can (try to be motionless) it goes back to preset 1 in 6-12 seconds.

    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    OK, I am feeling stupid here. Ive never owned a Dahua PTZ nor working with tracking. 1. How do you "turn on IVS rules"? 2. Am I watching from Internet Explorer with direct access to the camera thru its IP address and on the "LIVE" tab? 3. If it is the glass on the garage door, how do I deal...

    Problems configuring Reolink 823-A with BI5

    Quick question... on the Dahua, Deep IVS page... I think what is happening is the wind is blowing a tree next to the front door and triggering the camera to leave tracking me while I'm in the front yard and returning to Preset 1 possible. For some reason, occasionally and not after 5 minutes...

    Did BI5 v. 5.5.5.6 break discovery?

    OK, that was it. You have to create a new camera. You cant modify an existing camera.

    Did BI5 v. 5.5.5.6 break discovery?

    The only changes I remember making prior to this issue is: I check marked "bind exclusively" to the LAN Access under Web Server. I was hoping this might make the IP address static. And on the Asus router side, for the laptop running BI5, I changed from DHCP to "MAC and Address IP binding" for...
