    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z12 5.3-64mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12)

    Yea I'm still having this issue and still haven't found a perfect work around. If I could figure out a way to make Windows Task Schedule events that schedule in relation to sunrise/ sunset I would be in better shape. Or if the focus script was written so it had 2 profiles and changed based on...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hi thanks for the continued development! Question: can I make UI3 auto open to full screen? I have an autologin windows 7 user with a task schedule to open UI3 but I would love for it to auto full screen live view without having to click the bottom right. Any way to do it? Thanks, Andrew...

    Severe Focus Issue with IPC-HFW5231E-Z12

    Depending on your zoom setting you may actually need different focus settings day vs night due to some optical phenomena that I cant explain but it's been explained here before. I know on 1 of my cams this is the case. That's why it's only in focus at night. My daytimenl video is all blurry...

    A possible fix for nighttime IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 autofocus issues

    Idk I have thought about this. There's a whole other aspect of LPRs that I am thinking about experimenting with where the starlight will shine. My states license plates are extremely difficult to get consistent exposures on so I am thinking about adding ambient flood light and dissabling IR...

    A possible fix for nighttime IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 autofocus issues

    It only seems to do it at near the end of the zoom range. I'm not the only one that has experienced this Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Power Zoom Disable?

    You mean the ability to disable autofocus. I agree as long as I would be able to specify 2 different focus positions day vs night Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    A possible fix for nighttime IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 autofocus issues

    I'm gonna try this. My camera is only in focus at night since I haven't figured out a way to write a script that changes and continually checks and adjusts focus 24/7 but allows different focus based on day vs night. Mine would even loose focus during the day though. That's what really...

    Is there anywhere that shows different reflections / plates vs the light wavelength? Having issues reading certain plates due to over reflection of the IR light / dirty plates Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    New firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea NTSC and PAL 20180330

    Ditto on the focus issue fix question. One of my Z12 cams is useless during daylight hours because I have prioritized night time focus.... Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Help with focus / script issue

    Bump. Does anybody out there have a way of maintaining 2 different focal lengths day vs night? Is there a way I can schedule an event using Windows task schedule to run tasks in relationship with sunrise / sunset? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Help me understand storage / space issue

    Big thanks to @fenderman for providing some assistance. He believes my issue was a combination of me storing tons of jpeg files / hi res alerts. I don't know why I started that system doing that. He got me up and running now and I'm very grateful for his help and this forum. Sent from my...

    Replied but getting ready to head to bed for the night. 51k files is probably due to one of the cameras being set to take a jpg every 2 sec when triggered.....I just turned that off. My alerts are not working and within the BI UI the system think that their is nothing older than around the...

    Help with focus / script issue

    Ok.... so the Dahua sunrise / sunset utility written by bp2008 is a great utility and does 80% of what I need. The problem with it is that it does not do a focus "watchdog" and re-apply the focus commands as needed. I modified this script written by the person in the quote below to keep one of...

    Help me understand storage / space issue

    On my way home I stopped by my other BI installation at my church. Here are its settings and it's working correctly and managing space correctly. The biggest difference I see is that the stores folder dumps right in the root directory of Blue Iris on the D drive. It is not D\Blue Iris\Stored...

    I am using 4.7.3.2 x64 Just realized I should have emailed support a long time ago. I had support but it expires tomorrow. I will gladly pay to extend it another year if I have to. PS. Odd...tapatalk makes my images unread-ably bury. But they are fine in a browser on a PC

    Help me understand storage / space issue

    I did that today and "repaired DB". It took forever scanning and now is back up. No change. What in the world is going on? This is really making me nervous. What is BI deleting to make room? I hope its not deleting any of my other files on the PC. How can I have a negative storage amount lol.
