    Step one complete, on to step two

    Does your Ubiquiti PoE switch do standardized 48V 802.3af (PoE) or 802.3at (PoE+) or is it Ubiquiti's passive 24V PoE?

    weird plate reflection

    I noticed that for the first time on one of my cameras last night as well, I chalked it up to the reflection of plates being so bright that it is actually reflecting inside the lens of the camera when the plate is off center. It's fun when you can reproduce it on a PTZ.

    Dahua SD49225XA-HNR Auto Tracking Enabled Firmware.

    The cover for the SD card is on the back of the camera on the 49225/49425. Turn the camera towards the wall to the left and tilt it all the way up to make it easy to access. Power the camera off and use the wrench that came with it a philips screwdriver to take the cover off. You can buy pole...

    LPR Camera location conundrum

    Your best angle is going to be in front of the garage and shooting 90 degrees to the left without getting the wall in the frame, not where you have the picture drawn straight down the driveway. Your second best angle (which is still pretty steep) will be the 2nd floor to the shot over the driveway.

    Make sure the Suspend motion detection checkbox is in the PTZ/Control tab in the camera settings is unchecked in the camera settings if you are recording on motion only.

    Cat 5e cable 10MBps instead of 1Gbps

    Do both computers have 1GB NIC cards and are they set to auto negotiate the connection speed? If so, try setting or both of them to 1GB manually.

    20 Seconds for OEM IPC-HFW4431R-Z to adjust for light?

    Can you figure out what manual exposure settings work in your specific lighting conditions and narrow in on (or close to) those settings so the camera isn't trying to adjust for so long?

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    I hope people start selling 740nm illuminators then. I can't even find them on AliExpress. That, and I believe I read on here that someone was testing the HFW5241-Z12E and that it wasn't even picking up 740nm.

    2022 New Product Plan and Chinese New Year Plan

    WHO CAN ID THIS POLE-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT ?

    Flock. flocksafety.com That $2000/year cost includes cellular, which runs $40/month. If you add up the costs of cellular, cloud hosting, installation and maintenance labor, technicians, IT people to support the system, etc. it's cheap compared to the other options out there. That's how these...

    PTZ preset labels not saving.

    Set the preset names in the camera itself, then do a discover in the video settings for the camera (next to where the IP address is). BI will pull the names of the presets from the camera.

    Web UI3 playback on some PC only

    Sophos Home? Try adding the IP of your BI install to the whitelist in the web filter in the dashboard on the client machine(s). I have been having the same problems as well and I added the IP there and rebooted and UI3 works again. Will have to see if it sticks.

    Can we use combination of Media Converter and SFP

    Yes, I have run SFP/LC over multimode fiber from my house to a TPLink 1000Base-SX SC to 1000Base-T media converter in my detached garage without any issues. If I had to do it all over again I would do LC and SFP on both ends.

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Try adding a one-way tripwire that only tracks if they exit their driveway. I noticed my 49225 stopped tracking pedestrians exiting an intrusion zone when I had it set up to track when they entered. Not sure if it was a fluke or not as I haven't put a SD card in my camera quite yet, but it's...

    EmpireTech-IPC-HFW5231E-ZE Help with zoom

    Not in the video settings screen of the camera settings, but in the PTZ tab, select ONVIF (XML) or Dahua V4. You may need to enable PTZ controls in the UI on that same tab as well, then disable them once you get the camera adjusted to where you want it so you don't inadvertently change the zoom...

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Do they come home at a certain time every night? My thoughts are to move it to a preset that doesn't auto track, adjust the schedule on the IVS trigger, move it out of a preset when you see them coming and put it back after, or possibly draw a privacy mask around the area you don't want to track...

    Need a better camera after hit and run

    Don't use wifi for cameras that you need to be reliable. The HWF5241E-Z12E is your huckleberry. Contact EmpireTechAndy (he has a subforum on the main page) to order. He is out of stock on Amazon right now but can still get them for you (and at a cheaper price) if you contact him directly.
