Controversy of this topic aside, @Go3Team would you be willing to share code? I've been meaning to take a look at the ffmpeg library for months now and seeing some working code could really expedite my time. Happy to be a contributor for any FOSS projects you have.

This is great, thanks for doing and sharing. I was actually planning on doing the exact same thing for the past few months but have been like a one legged bobcat trying to cover up a crap on a frozen pond. Throw this up on github and post a link and I'd be happy to be a contributor. I've...

I was able to 'fix' my dead v1 by placing it into a full left/right pan pattern in a continuous cycle. Speed is 100 and lengh of arc is currently full range of motion, zero delay between repeat of cycle. Has been working like that for about 3 months with no feed drops. Next is to experiment with...

Great suggestion, thanks Fenderman. You can close this thread if you so please

Thanks again Fenderman - here's the approach I'm shooting for: User triggers DIO bit 1 via BI mobile app by clicking on lightning bolt 'Dummy camera' is triggered from said DIO bit in step #1 Alert for camera from step #2 triggers a HTTP POST command to arduino or similar Arduino receives POST...

Thanks Fenderman - So the screenshot I attached is read only, and only serves to display the status of the DIO? My goal is to be able to trigger a digital output from the BI app which ultimately closes a physical relay. I could build my own app/web service but was hoping to streamline it all...

Looks like I have more issues. Clicking on any of the DIO buttons in the app yields no result. Buttons do not appear to depress, and no action is seen server side either. I've got a camera set to trigger (within the trigger tab of the cam) when global DIO input bits = 1. It does not trigger...

I apologize, that was a little harsh on my part. I appreciate the heck out of what Ken does and love the continuous improvement. Coming from a development and operations background I understand all too well the struggle of Q/A and roll to prod. It's a pain in the arse. And that's exactly why...

I had the same issue, downgrade worked, thanks @GuiBou. BI Q/A is a joke.

Was a permissions issue - you freakin rule Fenderman, thanks! :cool:

Anybody know where the digital I/O switching capabilities went in the BI mobile app, v2.0.38 (android v5.0.1)? I could have sworn there used to be the ability to switch gpio on/off via the mobile app but it seems to have disappeared.

Ping may not be the most reliable measure of ensuring outbound comms are blocked. Also I can confirm that I've got a few cams on a vlan that _constantly_ try to get outbound access and open ports. They'll try to get to IPs in russia, china, etc. I'm sure they'd be on a bot net if they weren't...

Heads up Ive got some focused 940nm equipment en route for experimentation for anpr purposes, goal is invisible / black box. Will share results

Can we please refrain from having every thread in this forum degrade into a war between cam models? Honestly, a) it's incredibly childish, b) it wastes a ton of my time when I'm looking for information, and c) quite frankly, it's a shame that so much good knowledge and experience is mired in...

I have sighthound deployed within a VM and have experience with it. Vastly superior detection analytics to blueiris (supports object classifiers, people only, currently), but also vastly inferior 'other' features (scripting, cam management, etc). I use the two in parallel to get the best of both...

Yeah guys, that poe board in that huisun teardown pic above (as well as most any poe board) should work as a replacement in that huisun. I didn't know they used what appeares to be a standard 38mm board. If I were you I'd try to replace the board- much cleaner and proper fix to this issue in my...

Here's the one I've got, which will do 12V @ 1A. I'm assuming it's a switching regulator since there are no (visible) heatsink components or linear voltage regulators like you have on the bucking regulators you'll find on amazon. Unit doesn't get hot anywhere on the board during operation like a...

Thanks klasipca - I've had good luck using a poe board module which I believe is a switching regulator instead of a bucking regulator like most inline units. The advantage of this is that it doesn't reject the difference in voltage to heat, which can be significant depending on your total...

+1 I use juice SSH tunnels on Android with 4096 bit keys, dd-wrt on the server side on an old ass wrt-54gl. If you want you can set up a Linux firewall on a vm on your bi server and port forward the ssh port from your router to your vm and have effectively the same thing. Also put your...

Just a heads up that I appear to have made progress resolving my issue. I was able to receive a stable feed for 5 days (and counting, sample size of 1) which exceeds the prior 20 day sample where the camera would go offline in the range of 6-18h after a power cycle (see prior post for env...

@dmanindfw - can you establish any type of communication with the cam over IP, for any period of time?

@fenderman - when I had my S500 (bullet type), it was poe on board, internal to the camera. I've never seen an in-wire poe module. All poe implementation I've seen for ip cameras have used the standard 38mm board module method. I've found most poe modules are interchangeable between cameras and...

The cams I have, auth happens over port 80 (or 443 if you use HTTPS) and RSTP happens on port 554. Chances are your NVR is trying to connect to that hostname on TCP 554 and getting rejected by the firewall (if there is one). Look through your target cam network port menus, and if you can't find...

Yikes. Yeah that's not so great. I'd bet this thing looks incredible in the day and sucks wind at night. You'll need a lot of IR, and I have trouble doing IR correctly. I think I'll sit this round out. Nice detective work on the datasheet btw.

Do you have a link to the datasheet? Closest I can find is the IMX253 & IMX255 which appear to be 4K/8K; both of which appear to have incredible sensitivity (1146mV color @ F5.6) given the resolution. (IMX178 is 425mV, IMX291 is 1300mv, IMX185 is 1120mV; higher is better)...

No. Have been monitoring and want to change as few variables as possible. Goal is to root cause, then solve; and not the other way around. If I can find a solution hopefully that will help everybody.

Just wanted to put in my data point and say that my v1 is on the fritz. Purchased in Sept 2015 and had first occurrence of failure about a month ago. Temps at the time were in the low to mid 90s ambient; cam in the shade all day. Symptoms of failure are that the camera goes offline and does not...

Pretty much everything I stated should be possible with the dd-wrt firmware with remote system logging which I use pretty religiously for private as well as some commercial use. Their forums and how-tos are great; and all the concepts can be transferred to commercial hardware such as cisco...

I've had this issue on an OV9712 sensor cam and was able to resolve the issue by removing objects from the foreground. The camera appears to have an algorithm that makes it want to oscillate exposure for overexposed objects in the foreground and then switch to adjust for underexposed objects in...

I really hope you're running encryption on port 80. Here is my recommendation of bare minimum security requirements for BI: - wrap traffic within ssh/vpn w/ certificate auth; or use SSL/stunnel (BI docs) with a proper CA'd cert - isolate cameras on a vlan (your cameras may leak data, I have...
