    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Any reason you settled on hubitat vs HomeAssistant ? I'm looking right now into trying to setup NodeRed as a general automation catchall platform for little annoyances like this. Ideally I'll have it query once an hour using an API call, and then have it inspect the response to see if it's...

    Dahua + Synology Surveillance Station : Missing options

    P.S. I just figured out that I can do an end run around surveillance station with an API call.. but I'd still need a way to figure out how to automate this: For example, if I wanted to clobber Surveillance Station's dumb video config once a day just to be sure it hasn't re-applied it's bad...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Well, I think there's an assumption here that I'm using hubitat.. maybe I should be.. but i'm not at that level of automation yet.. i'm still on dumb old smartthings. Is there another lighterweight way of just running an API command periodically via a docker container +script before I make...

    Dahua + Synology Surveillance Station : Missing options

    Hi folks, I'm still new at this and i'm using Synology Surveillance Station (SS) because I happen to have a bunch of licenses I got gifted for it. It's overall great, but i'm running into some serious frustration with their "support" for Dahua cameras. Specifically, i've got an...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    I tried this with HTTPS, and yes, my browser tells me i'm trying to login with admin to the site and then I click OK, and it dumps a huge list of stuff. I also tried it with postman w/ digest authentication and got the following response as well:

    I’ve been looking for it but maybe I’m searching badly ? What should I be looking for / or can you link to the thread here?

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    So, mysteriously after a camera reboot.. recording is now happening for everything as it should. This is puzzling indeed... but i'll take it as a sign of "reboot first if things are wonky". For IVS.. is there a recommended "best way" to use it, or is the perimeter+lots of criss-crossing...

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    It's not that I don't believe you.. I do.. i'm just seeking to understand the difference.. what's the difference between "detect any human in this area" and " detect a human crossing this tripwire" ? I assume they're using the same "is this human" detection model (in terms of image...

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    I appreciate that, but if I have an area where I just want any human or vehicle in that area, why should SMD be any different than an IVS set up with lots of crossing tripwires to cover the whole internal area of a perimeter? At least from following the example in the video I cited above, my...

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    PS: if I understand what you were saying correctly :: if I turn on MD, then motion detection will happen wherever there is a will happen wherever there is a zone for it. If I turn on SMD on top of that, then it will only happen in those zones if it matches human or vehicle right? and then if I...

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    Are they incompatible? Should I not be getting recording on both if both are on ? My question here is why I can’t get them to record

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    I’m confused by this, IVS claims that it uses human and vehicle detection as a target filter.. I assume this means that SMD needs to be on to enable this . currently I have full frame MD on (default), SMD on, and IVS rules that are filtered by target type of human/vehicle . I can see and test...

    Dahua N3wbie , can’t figure out why IVS events won’t record

    I’m new to Dahua , and I must say that the backwards web interface is maddening in many respects, but I think I finally got a handle on it. Just when I thought I was getting confident understanding the web UI (5, this is my first EmpireTech-IPC-Color4K-T180 cam) , I discovered that the IVS...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    since I have a web 5 camera … what does one do instead ? Did the API change ?

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    So you just use basic auth ? What you were describing is basic auth for the API, as far as I know .. I’m just not sure how to turn it on via the web 5 interface for API calls… or, maybe habitat handles all of that transparently, but the API testing cool I’m using certainly doesn’t, and results...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    Have you managed to figure out how to get digest authentication to work via Hubitat? , I can’t seem to get basic authentication turned on on this particular camera for some reason

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    It’s a modern one , the t180 , so I think that makes it web 5.0 from what I gather . I certainly know there’s the “auto” brightness setting and also about the day/night modes … but setting day /night modes based on time of day is not ideal considering nighttime starts at very different times at...

    Yea, sadly that doesn't exist on mac Edge, for obvious reasons.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    Yea.. i found some old PC.. and it does work.. but that rather blows... I don't get how the cameras can be fancy and yet so freaking backward at the same time. I use my mac laptop for day to day.

    Interesting.. on the latest firmware I only see this in camera/image... am I missing something ?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    While i'm on the topic of this camera.. i'm kind of shocked there's no splicing adjustment in the firmware.. is that normal for these cameras? Even the amcrest version seems to have a splicing distance adjustment

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    Yea, i'm probably over thinking it. It was more .. "i'd like to draw attention to the fact that there's a camera here watching you".. so even weakest lights on at night is probably good enough (even though I really don't need them for illumination with this camera). Here i'm thinking the...

    Dahua IPC-Color4K-T has anyone figure out API to operate the LED?

    How does one do the day/night profile switch on trigger ? Do you have to make an API call for that, or can it all be done within the camera @wittaj ?

    So what do people do for deterrance in this situation? it seems some sort of light activation is out of the question ?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    PS I asked about SSA vs WDR above for backlight because you’d think SSA would use WDR when appropriate, but maybe not ?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    I was testing it last night by holding it in the right place.. this was just an example image from where it's sitting at the moment is all. I definitely want a 180 spread here because I want it to cover the whole porch and front yard... I know there are possible stitching issues, but i have a...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    Self-adaptive adaptive on the backlight (SSA) or self-adaptive on the scene setting , or both ? as illustrated here, there's two separate settings, which is a little confusing. Note: camera not mounted yet, which is why the image is oddly positioned.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 warm LED triggering?

    So, I’m new at this but it’s not clear to me what the proper setting is to balance the image when there are really bright and dark areas in the image. I know that WDR is supposed to be used for this but there are also HLC and BLC modes. Do you have this same cam ? what do you do for motion...
