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

    I would like to know what are the capabilities of this camera when used with Blue Iris? As a minimum I want the ability to FTP images that include the plate and date in the file name. This would be sufficient for me to purchase this camera. Without this or some similar ability, I will stick...

    Wifi Trail or Wildlife Cameras that work with Blue Iris?

    I made my own wired (PoE) version a few years ago from a spare camera. One hundred feet of CAT 5 cable, a couple of pieces of plywood, and a L shaped shelf bracket. So far I have used it for 2 turkey nests and a duck nest in the front yard (native plants), and this spring for a feral mother...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Measuring the resolution of Color-X cameras versus object distance. I was planning to obtain one of these cameras when they became available in turret form to replace my front door camera. I decided that I should test my existing Color-X cameras (2.8, 2x3.6, and 2x6 mm) and my 81230 front door...

    IPC-color-4K-X IVS issue

    I have been trying to do this using Blue Iris clones. Original is set up to receive IVS alerts. Clone is using motion detection within BI. Unfortunately I have not been able to do this without recording both the original (continuous) and the clone (when triggered). Also, when reviewing my...

    Clone not showing video for alerts

    I am trying to set up a Color-X camera (from Andy) to have both in camera people/vehicle detection and BI motion detection. Works fine, except the BI motion alerts are just the jpeg trigger image. I would like when I play the Motion alert to see the surrounding video. My original camera is...

    Somehow I was able to order the 6 mm version off Andy’s Amazon site. Due in two weeks. Tried to order 2 but only one in stock. Have been waiting a long time for this FOV. Now if only there was a good turret version available for my front door. Oh, and maybe a couple more 6 mm bullets.

    Rotating Date/Time

    All of my Dahua cameras allow the image to be rotated within the camera interface - go to Settings --> Conditions --> Conditions --> Flip --> 90 or 270 degrees. This should also rotate the overlays. No independent rotation of overlays is provided in camera, which means that if you rotate the...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ZE-LED / IPC-Color4M - 4MP Full Color At Night Vari-Focal Bullet Cam

    I don’t understand why this camera should have any worse nighttime performance than the Color4K-X. It should boil down read out noise (chip set), image processing, and a figure of merit equal to the square of the (pixel size divided by the f number). This camera, my old IPC-HFW4239T-ASE and...

    What do people do for fine angle adjusts with LPR cameras zoomed out most or all the way? I currently have a pair of IPC-HDW5231E-Z12E cameras and the coarse adjustments on the mount drive me crazy (crazier?). First the teeth on the adjustment are very coarse. Next, in order to adjust the...

    It’s a Lenovo, about three years old. First thing I did was replace the CDROM with a 10 TB disk. I then decided I wanted longer storage time and added the external disks.

    The drive enclosure has both USB 3.1 and either eSata or FireWire 800 interface. I believe the drives are WD Purple. I am not around the system now so details uncertain. If USB did not work I planned to get a card for the other interface. There is no internal room for more disks.

    Set the anti-flicker to whatever the power frequency is in you country (60 Hz in US). This tries to sync the shutter to the light flicker described above. It may help to set the camera to Even fraction of 60 Hz. I found the worst flicker was caused when I had wide dynamic range enabled.
