    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Ooops, yes, I completely forgot about that which was a bit of a nightmare and required much more cutting. For that, even the largest drill bit wouldn't really work. Serious Dremel cutting is required to create a big channel, and the metal of the mounting plate really is stronger and thicker than...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Yes, I did, but it took a lot more effort than I hoped. You have to make screw holes in the mounting bracket for the hood and that's not as easy as I had hoped because (1) the metal of the bracket is really thick/strong AND slippery, combined with (2) the ideal hole location overlaps with the...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I am still fighting with this camera to get readable plates when the vehicle is moving even 1mph. I will factory reset the camera but don't want to do that until the weekend when I have a few hours (in case something goes wrong). In the mean time, would a few of you share which which firmware...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I just noticed that @wittaj in another thread showed settings with a gamma=20. I've had 40 as a value this whole time and haven't really changed it, so I just dropped it to 20 to see what that does. I really wish I had a more steady flow of cars (& more time) so I could change each setting one...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I do not have another of the same model to try. @Flintstone61 I do have an “overview” camera on the same area, but it’s not close enough to read license plates, which is my sole purpose/goal for this camera. On that topic, are any of you using the same firmware that I am, with the 2022-02-18...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    No, definitely no WDR. I knew that would only hurt. I have played with the headlight setting (HLC), but am leaving that off to try to avoid any camera processing that might cause this. I am curious if others are using the HLC backlight setting successfully.

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I completely agree. I wouldn't care about the blur of the truck at all except that I thought it might be related to the blur of the license plate at night. Here is another sample video showing the blur on the license plate before stopping, then it clears up, and then immediately blurs again...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I made the changes discussed and I believe there is improvement in the "motion blur" that I was seeing, but the blur still exists with movement (just not as much). I am trying to reduce the gain and some other settings to allow the image to be darker and see what effect that has. Having said...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I just switched the camera to H.264 and 8192 kbps so we'll see how this does tonight. Thank you all! I agree it seems like a shutter speed issue, but I really have used both the custom 0.5ms setting and now the explicit 1/2000th shutter speed. I did experiment with 1/4000th and saw the same...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I think switching to fixed shutter speed (rather than 0-0.5) has helped, but I still see the odd behavior of blurring with motion which I haven't yet figured out. I'm going to call it quits for the night, but I captured a video that I'm sharing below and might help people identify whatever is...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    Thank you. I won't use the stationary plate at all in my next round of tests, and the small reflector is fixed (not put there by me) so it will remain. By using fixed focus I didn't think I'd have an issue with the camera changing focus, and the depth of field does show plates in focus some...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    @wittaj , you're awesome! I'll make that change right now so I can see if that's it when the first car goes by tonight. Thank you! Regarding focus, I went for manual focus on that spot at that distance to try to eliminate the focus as a variable in my problem. With that image above, I tried to...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    The picture below has been cropped but otherwise has not been edited, even though it looks like someone used photo-editing software to blur the license plate on the left. I can't control the cars that drive by, so I manually put an old license plate and circular reflector on the right side of...

    IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M IPC-HX5X3X-Multi-Rhea_Eng_V2.622.0000000.38.R.211029 Dual lens Firmware

    I too am annoyed by the IR being reset and would love some way to deal with that. I've thought of a script that would just run every day to change the setting, but of course I've been too busy to even consider that.

    IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M IPC-HX5X3X-Multi-Rhea_Eng_V2.622.0000000.38.R.211029 Dual lens Firmware

    I upgraded to the firmware currently on the first page (General_IPC-HX5X3X-Multi-Rhea_Eng_P_V2.622.0000000.38.R.211029.bin). The first thing I noticed is that the new web UI has removed the "Device Type" from the version screen. Why would they remove that? Here's a screenshot of my "before" and...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I found another flaw that I believe is fatal with respect to using the PFA200W hood with the PFA137 junction box with this camera. The wire for this camera comes out the back of the camera near the edge. When the camera is mounted directly to the PFA137, the wire is just inside the outer shell...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I bought the PFA200W hood to attach with a PFA137 junction box as mentioned in post #52 and shown in post #53, recognizing the image in post #53 shows a different camera. Unfortunately, the bracket for the PFA200W does not align with the screw holes that must be used between this camera and the...

    5.4.7 - May 25, 2021 - Support for DeepStack custom model files

    I am generally running with custom models ok (not happy yet with some results, but it's running), but using the DeepStack analysis window it appears that the license-plate model only fires a few times during a triggered event. Please see the screenshot below and note that the license-plate model...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    I have one of these cameras and despite its many faults, I like that it can effectively provide 180 degrees of viewing angle from "one" unit and am considering the purchase of a second one. Although there is still inventory of this camera to be purchased, it is officially EoL'ed (see the EoL...

    Supply line issues.

    Just check with Andy for his inventory/availability before you place any order. As others have said, if it's available on Amazon, that's easy because you can see the availability. For anything not on Amazon, just email him. When Andy has it, you'll get it very quickly. When he doesn't have it...

    I successfully applied this to my IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M-2.8mm. Having said that, it's a bummer that we still cannot view images/video through the Chrome browser. @EMPIRETECANDY do you think they'll ever update the web UI?

    Latest new IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000018.0.R.210707

    FYI, I just upgraded 4 IPC-HDW5231R-E and one IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E, all without incident, but I did reboot each & every one BEFORE applying the update. I've found in the past that's the difference between success & failure. My personal advice is to always take an extra 2 minutes to make a backup of...

    IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M IPC-HX5X3X-Multi-Rhea_Eng_V2.622.0000000.38.R.211029 Dual lens Firmware

    @EMPIRETECANDY Does your message imply that we won't see any firmware update for this camera until 2022? That's a bummer to have my new camera that won't let me use a modern browser to view the video. Also, I understand that this camera can only do IVS on one stream, but I thought I'd be able...

    How to mount cameras with cable on the corner (e.g. IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M)

    How to mount cameras with cable on the corner (e.g. IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M)

    I bought several new cameras from Andy, including one of the dual lens/sensor cameras, IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M. Oddly, and perhaps unfortunately, the cable protrudes on the corner of the back of the camera (rather than the center). Has someone else mounted one of these with a junction box? If so, how...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    On the topic of NVR integration, what does this support in terms of pro-active alerts of plate recognition events and are there filters for whether a plate is a "known friendly" plate versus a new one, etc.? I assume (but please confirm) email alerts probably exist, though that wouldn't be ideal...

    what is the network type = fast/slow setting?

    I started checking to see which other cameras have this toggle, and found that one of my Amcrest cameras (using Dahua firmware for those who don't already know that) also has that setting, showing it in a more user-friendly manner to make clear that it is a setting/toggle:

    what is the network type = fast/slow setting?

    I didn't realize until just now that the "type" field on the TCP/IP settings screen is actually a toggle. Clicking it will change the value to/from "Slow" and "Fast". See the screenshot below in which the "Slow" appears to be static text, but it is not. It's just a poorly displayed radio...

    IPC-T5442T-ZEB disables ability to paste into password

    Hey @EMPIRETECANDY , I got one of your IPC-T5442T-ZEB cameras off Amazon. On both Mac & PC, using the Chrome browser, it seems that I cannot paste a password into the login screen, either with a right-click "paste" or "paste as plain text" selection or using ctrl-v. When doing any of these...

    @looney2ns You are obviously one of the most experienced people here at updating firmware, so knowing that you've done everything in the best manner possible, and that Dahua hasn't updated the firmware download on their site since the Aug 2018 version (SD59225U-HNI), I'm wondering if that...
