Zoom Settings
I have a IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E for a license plate reader. I set the zoom under Camera->Conditions->Zoom and Focus. There is no save button so I go back to the Conditions tab and click save. That seems to work as when I refresh the web portal, I still get a sharp image. But then a few days later... -

Object Detection - Which Condition Triggered It?
In "Object detection" I have two different conditions, one is B>C and one C>B. I need to know which one was detected, B>C or C>B. Is there a way I can find out? I checked the JSON interface but didn't find anything. But maybe I just missed it. Or is there some other way to find out which... -

Image Quality Issues
I got an IPC-D54IR-ASE S3. Attached is a screenshot of about 1/4 size (1/2 length, 1/2 width) from BlueIris displaying the came using the full area of a 4k monitor. I understand the camera is 2688x1520 and we look at a quarter of the size so something like 1300x700. However, I am still a bit... -

Avoid Motion Trigger when Lights Go On/Off
I have set up some alerts when there is motion. I also have some automated lights, i.e. they can go off/on while nobody is in the camera's view. This sudden light change makes the camera think there is motion and it triggers and alert. Is there a way to configure BI so it doesn't trigger an... -

Web Request & Recording, etc.
When there is an alert one can issue a web request to notify other applications of the alert. I would like to do something similar for when recording start, recording end, etc. I can get the status via the JSON interface but that means I have to constantly poll BI for the status. Is there a way... -

I am trying to change the profile of a cam via JSON. I did do the login which seems to be successful. I then send the following command where Cam166 is the short name of the camera for which I want to change the profile to 3 (I also tried "profile":"Profile 3")... -

IP banned & Too Many Login Attempts

On Alert Actions Inserts User Admin
I defined a web request action when there is an alert. It looks like this: [IP]/JSON?request=runevent&id=[ID] Never mind the parameters. It's just an example. The issue I am having is that BI seems to insert a default user name (admin) and probably some password. However, the GET request... -

I have a new IPC-D54IR-ASE-S3 = HDBW5442R-ASE-S3 and was wondering if it's possible to change the alarm output from NO (Normally Open) to NC (Normally Closed). There is such an option for the alarm input, see attachment. However, I don't see anything for the alarm output. -

Finding Dahua Dome, PoE, 1/1.8", 4MP, 2.8mm
I am looking for a Dahua Dome camera for indoors. The 5442 are popular here and it's my understanding that S3 is the latest version. However, on Dahua's website I can only find S2 which is strange. Maybe I am not searching properly. On empiretech01.com I can only find the D54IR-ASE-S3. I believe... -

Cameras & DSC Security System
I am replacing an indoor motion sensor with a camera. The motion sensor is connected to a DSC PC1864 alarm system.

I have an older HikVision DS-2CD2132F-IS 2.8mm that I mounted to check on angles, video, etc. When I looked at the recording, it was completely wrong, i.e. there was an upper and a lower part. Also the upper part is completely distorted which you can also seen from the timestamp in the video... -

1/2.9" vs 1/1.8" vs 1/1.2" Camera
How much of a difference do you really get over a recent 1/2.9" sensor camera, a 1/1.8", a 1/1.2" camera or maybe even 1/1" (not seen one, yet)? I have some 7 year old Hivision cams that got good ratings at that time. I replaced more than half of them with cams from Andy at at about twice the...- rfj

Re-process Motion Detection
I realized that my motion detection wasn't set properly. There was a hit-and-run on our street but nobody knows an approximate time. Since my motion detection wasn't set up properly I would have to go review the entire video (at about 8x in order to not miss anything). This would take a long... -
