    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    No, it's aplastic box with holes, meant to be used inside a room. And I'd rather not risk the mic shorting out due to humidity or water and taking my camera with it :)

    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    The cameras all use PoE+ which is 50 to 57V DC. Pretty sure using a PoE splitter on such a microphone will make it go up in flames. It's also about PoE splitter, wouldn't PoE+ fry it instantly? My DH-SD3E405DB-GNY has the following ports: Port Audio Input 1 channel (LINE IN, bare...

    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    Hello everyone, I am looking for a good, compatible microphone which can be connected to Dahua cameras. Camera models I own: 1. DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 (it has a microphone, but even with sensitivity at 100% it's pretty low quality) 2. IPC-HFW5442E-SE (no microphone) 3. IPC-HFW3841E-AS-0280B...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    I did use IE as well, see above, the UI did not change one bit in the areas I was interested in. PTZ functions via browser are completely irrelevant to me, because I am not using the browser to use and control the camera, and the AI functions work fine (simple stuff, just a couple ROI for soft...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Huh, interesting, let me check that. Using mainly Chrome, but I have a plethora of browsers installed. It's asking me to install a plugin for live view, downloaded from camera, afterwards I got image. Still no "Day / Night switch" radio button. I went through most of the pages, they look exactly...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    I know where the settings are, what I am wary of is actually saving those settings. It looks like my camera UI doesn't properly apply/save settings. That's the reason for creating this topic in the first place :) Later edit: I don't even have the "Day / Night switch" radio button in my camera UI.

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Indeed, the older UI is much more intuitive. It has its (general) quirks, valid for pretty much anything that comes from China, namely obscure acronyms with no explanation, but at least you can navigate from menu entry to menu entry. In the, ahem, "new" UI, it's a pain in the buttocks.

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Compared to Dahua's Web 5.0, any UI is better. They made the UI in such a way you have to go into settings and click on entries to have them displayed as... tabs of all things. Don't even ask me how long it took me to figure out I have to click on Home in order to access their AI / camera...

    Yes, I know, I own both brands. Dahua's UI 5 is a horrible mess, to be honest.

    Just note that the video settings can still be improved, but I simply can't bear myself going into that UI again :)

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Somehow, the camera works as expected, despite the settings introduced. The settings have the camera turn on and off at fixed hours (which is, as stated above, less than ideal), but instead turns on and off at sunrise / sunset, as I originally wanted. I am honestly afraid of even loading the Web...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    In that case, the UI is truly borked. If that option would only work on customized scene configuration set, then: 1. It should not appear at all in Self-Adaptive 2. It should not successfully change Illuminator state when settings are applied. I will try Customized Scene as well after I confirm...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Update: I just don't get how those settings work. I have configured "By Time" yesterday evening, and today at 10 AM the LEDs were still ON. Schedule settings are below. Note: There is no option for OFF, only "Smart Illumination", "Warm Light Mode" and "IR Mode". Right now, the LEDs are ON 24/7...

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    It's one more thing to note and remember, besides the other 1000 things I have to note and remember. At some point it becomes a burden, the proverbial straw, and I'm the tired camel :)

    DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 - Warm light illumination conundrum

    Hello everyone. As stated in the thread title, I recently bought a Dahua DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 TIOC camera. I have some problems properly setting up the Illumination mode. What I want to happen: - The Warm Light Illuminator should turn ON at sunset and turn OFF at sunrise (+/- 30 minutes, it...

    You can place the GPU pretty much anywhere, even an X1 slot would work.

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Hello, I have Blue Iris, CPAI 2.5.6, YOLOv8, they work, however ALPR is not working properly. When I attempt to read a License Plate from an image using Project Explorer, the ALPR module... shuts down after 3 seconds. No errors in CPAI log. It just turns off. PC has Intel 13900K, nVidia RTX...

    Generally, one thing I found really helpful in getting clear images is to prioritize shutter speed on cameras, making images clearer, less smudgy, even at the expense of contrast. Gain should be as small as possible. That's something you configure in the camera itself.

    PTZ + fixed cameras - expansion recommendations

    Thank you for the hint. For now, I have set the shutter at 1/60 and maximum gain at 50, the image obviously became much darker, but still light enough to distinguish required features. At the same time, I updated my roof camera with similar settings, which enabled IR on it as well, helping with...

    PTZ + fixed cameras - expansion recommendations

    Thank you for your reply. "Decent" means it works well, I really don't have complaints, and night image is great, as a matter of fact. I have attached a screenshot of the camera from Blue Iris, there's enough ambient light even at night that the camera doesn't use IR any more. Densely populated...

    I just (re)installed ALPR on CP.AI 2.3.4 - when testing ALPR from project Explorer, ALPR module shuts down. Uploaded a picture of my car with clearly visible license plate. Log entries: 12:48:22:License Plate Reader: Rec'd request for License Plate Reader command 'alpr' (...96656d) took 128ms...

    PTZ + fixed cameras - expansion recommendations

    Hello everyone, I would like to add a few cameras to my surveillance setup, and I am looking for advice. Three cameras to be added. I only look for two brands, which I already own and I am satisfied with: Dahua and Hikvision. All cameras should be PoE, infrastructure is already in place (CAT7...

    While I had seen that in previous thread pages, I had assumed it would have been resolved :) No worries, I'll wait, there's no rush. It's going to be at least a couple months until i install my street cameras anyway. Just wanted to make sure I'm not doing womething wrong. Appreciate your quick...

    Hello everyone, glad to be here. I have a rather newbie question, something that I am trying to understand. Blue Iris is installed, CPAI is installed, both are working fine, they talk to each other, information is being exchanged, etc. Now, I have been learning those tools and stumbled upon the...
