Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
Thanks, I had not considered or realized how shield areas might work. I will try both shield and reducing the capture area later this week. One problem is that I expect the plate from trucks will overlap with the plates from parked cars. Also when the parked cars are not on that side moving... -
Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
I now have the second 437-LPR set up looking the opposite direction down a residential street. Problem is that there are usually cars parked along the street in this direction whose plates get read instead of the moving car(s). Last night while is was raining it kept reporting the plate from a... -
Problem with Convert/Export of Video - Solved
I just solved a problem I had been having for a couple of weeks. I kept thinking the problem was a recent BI or Windows update. The solution came to me as I was writing this up to ask for help. Hope this helps someone else. PROBLEM When I export a section of video the resulting file seems...- quest100

Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
@Timokreon - I found during the recent rains, especially at night, that the camera missed a lot of plates/cars. But when it did trigger the results were still very accurate. Found another case where the camera responds in a less than ideal way. Today a car happened to be parked on the far... -
Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
I have been looking at how the LPR-437 does at night and am seeing problems with it not triggering on obvious cars passing through. I was going to add a couple of videos but BI is not exporting correctly. BI seems to only be showing key frames. I compared BI motion triggers with the output... -
Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
Here's an example where the camera capture a good license plate in one of its two images, included the good capture in its plate image, but returned the truncated plate. Since I have been capturing two images sometimes the camera returns the first image (ftp) messed up. Never happened... -
Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
Snapshot quantity does not seem to do anything except send an extra picture. The license plate cutout does not change between pictures and does not necessarily correspond to either picture. In the example below, the plate is not visible in either picture while the plate is correctly shown and... -
Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
I hope this works. I changed Settings --> ANPR --> Snapshot settings Snapshot quantity from 1 to 2 (max) Frames to Output Licensed Vehicle Snapshot from 1 to 3 (max) I should know tomorrow if this works. -
Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera
After having the LPR-437 for a month, I finally got it installed yesterday. The camera is in a painted box at the corner of a brand new fence. The aiming is very crude right now - instead of using the supplied mount it is bolted to a 3 x 3 x 8 inch piece of wood with plastic shims to adjust... -
Could I end up with "too many" cameras? Consequences?
It does need cleaning - but not for the the reason you suggest. Five different people have their own 6 digit combinations equals 30 total. If the combinations were random each number should be used around three times between them. In reality the four dirty numbers are used slightly less often...- quest100

Could I end up with "too many" cameras? Consequences?
I want people that come to my front door to know they are being recorded. This is a 12 MP camera mounted at 62 inches up from the porch. The base diameter is 6 inches. I don't think anyone the comes to the front door fails to notice it. Add to this a pair of Color-4ks covering the...- quest100

Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera
Any suggestions for a mount similar to the Dahua DH-PFA162? Or where to order it in the US that will ship soon? So far Adorama is the only listing I can find and they are out of stock. I want to mount the LPR247 on top of a flat plywood surface that will be the bottom of a box. The huge... -
Unable to connect to brand new IPC-LPR237B-IR (Solved, sort-of)
Edit: switched to a different POE switch and it now appears to be working. No idea why. I just received a brand new ANPR camera from Andy and have not been able to access it, either through a browser or through SmartPSS. In various browsers and on two different machines I cannot connect to... -
BI and FTP Uploads - Problem with creating new directories
From my notes while trying to get alert videos via ftp: 1) Post ftp images - a) macros work fine - creates folder and file 2) On alerts --> ftp images or videos a) macros do not work in path b) creates folder(s) without expanding %macro, no file created c) no macro in folder name - creates... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
@Wildcat_1: Your reviews are amazing, I especially like comparisons between cameras or settings. What would I like to see? Much more interesting than the settings would be the process. Starting from the default settings, then jumping toyour default starting point, and then walk us through... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
All sensors, unless you have NASA’s budget, have dead pixels. They usually get mapped out and replaced by neighboring pixels and never noticed. There are also hot pixels - they have a higher noise or bias level. This sounds more like hot pixels that are not mapped out correctly. -
What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?
There are many ways to set up BI that work and even more ways that don't. My advice is based on what works for my one system - some of the other repliers have many many systems under their belt. A lot depends on what you decide is important. You may be satisfied with lower quality most of the... -
Massive number of files in alerts directory
Probably about right - Comcast 1,000 down/40 up and 2.5 TB total (out of unlimited) last month. -
Massive number of files in alerts directory
I have BI ftp alert images plus my front door camera video to a different computer. That computer is backed up via BackBlaze with a one year version history. Around 500 GBs per month. No data base and it would be a real PITA to find something from 10 months ago, but... -
What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?
A few notes: 1) I wouldn't bother with a NAS. Configure the local disks as just a bunch of disks and distribute the cameras evenly over them. The number and size will be determined by how long you want to retain the video. 2) No need for a SSD for recording video. A bunch of disks will be... -
Memory creeping on Intel Graphics 530
My problem is with commit memory. It generally starts out around 12 GB and increases until it reaches the limit of 64 GB when either BI or the computer crashes. The problem has been around since my first system running BI 4. It used to be slower but it is up to 5-6 GB per day. With or without...- quest100

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
I tested the resolution of the Color-X cameras versus distance and posted some results in that thread. I do not expect the Color-T cameras to perform much differently. (They could be using different lenses or focus the camera at a different distance.)... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
First thing I noticed was that the 4K-X (2.8mm) & 4K-T (2.8mm) were not the same focal length. The 4K-T (2.8mm) was about halfway between the 4K-X (2.8mm) and the 4K-T (3.6mm). They must be using different lenses. At eight feet the 3.6mm is losing sharpness, as you point out. Finally, the... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
If/when you do can you please include what the various parameters actually do and why one would adjust them? Nothing like being told that this slider varies “diddle” but not knowing how that differs from “squat”. -

Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras
If I remember correctly the Dahua cameras have a pair of wires for external triggering. Does anyone make an external PIR sensor that can easily be used to externally trigger a Dahua camera? Plug and play with adjustable sensitivity, battery powered, and no soldering required? -

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera
Because Dahua is using two separate cameras there is no way to eliminate the parallax error between the two stiched images. Hold your finger up at arms length and move your head side-to-side a small amount. Your finger shifts relative to the background. By having two separate camera Dahua is... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
Both Color-X camera series look darn near perfect. My only wish is that they had a manual focus that could be set, preferably with a scale like on camera lenses. On the scale they could also put depth of field markers, again like old camera lenses have. Set the focus before mounting the... -
Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera
Yah, that’s what I expected. Then when I tried writing down what I wanted it occurred to me that if I could FTP images with the plate and time in the file name it would work. If only Dahua would implement macros like BI that can be used in file names. Next, what can I get from my old NVR5216...
