    Auto-track PTZ camera for dog

    Couldn't you turn BI's motion sensor off, and simply use the trigger from the camera's IVS tripwire to create an alert in BI?

    Auto-track PTZ camera for dog

    Wow that's great! Why wouldn't Dahua advertise this? You'd think it would be a selling point! How do you view/record the footage from the alert? BI? If so, do you set the camera up as 'external trigger'?

    Auto-track PTZ camera for dog

    Wow, so even though there's no specific setting for animals, it still just tracks your dog as it would a human? No additional setup/workaround in BI needed? If yes, then I presume that it doesn't auto-zoom?

    Auto-track PTZ camera for dog

    I have, and it doesn't really answer my question. It just deals with manual control and presets. So again - is it possible to have BI 'auto track' an object detected by CP.ai through a PTZ camera?

    Auto-track PTZ camera for dog

    Hey guys, I'm looking at maybe getting this for my dad so he can track/watch his dog in his yard when he's not home. https://www.amazon.com/EmpireTech-Starlight-5mm-125mm-Auto-Tracking-Protection/dp/B0BPH7L1Z1 However, I notice that it doesn't have any built-in pet tracking (only humans and...

    Auto-Maximize in UI3 - How to cycle between multiple simultaneous alerts?

    Oh yeah I know that. I was just asking hypothetically.

    Auto-Maximize in UI3 - How to cycle between multiple simultaneous alerts?

    Fair enough, thanks for the explanation. Would it be possible to exclude specific cameras from the auto-maximise feature? At least then I'd be able to narrow it down to 2 or 3 cameras.

    Auto-Maximize in UI3 - How to cycle between multiple simultaneous alerts?

    I've been playing around with auto-maximize on UI3 and can't get it to work the way I want it to. I have alerts set up for CP.ai to detect my dog in the backyard as well as vehicles which enter my driveway. Let's say my dog is moving in my backyard, generating an alert (this is desired...

    Looking for an IP cam with automatic sensor light built-in

    The problem is that only her face would be visible above the fence, so detecting a dog would also be a failsafe in case the AI detection misses her.

    Looking for an IP cam with automatic sensor light built-in

    He's mostly an inside dog, so the light would ostensibly only come on while he's outside at night (not that often).

    Looking for an IP cam with automatic sensor light built-in

    Motion Detection is out of the question, sorry. It will be placed in a backyard with lots of bushes/trees, ie. As soon as there is a strong breeze or rain event, it will spit notifications. His NVR doesn't have pet detection built in, so it has to be on the camera.

    Looking for an IP cam with automatic sensor light built-in

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a good low light 5MP/4K PoE camera (either bullet or turret) which has a built in light which can be set to turn on/off based on AI detection of humans or pets. My dad has a unique situation where his neighbour -- who is an elderly lady with schizophrenia -- routinely...

    Dahua NVR -- where to set pre-recording seconds for IVS rule

    Almost one year later and still not fixed. This is really frustrating because it means I'm forced to disable general recording (which I want at a lower resolution), just to be able to see in full res what happened a few seconds earlier. Has anyone come up with a workaround or solution? Or do you...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    The video Andy linked said specifically that SMD is a 'filter' for MD. Whenever I enable IVS, it triggers the alarm sound on my cameras for some reason, even though I have it unchecked as per my screenshot in the OP.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    Thanks, I've followed this entire video, and turned acupick off and enabling AI mode, but even though I have enabled motion detection and SMD on all channels for humans, I still don't see any 'blue' intelligence recordings, it's all just green for general recording. What am I doing wrong?

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    The camera unfortunately only has 720p for SS 3. SS 1 and 2 only have up to 480p :-\

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    Ok I can confirm it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any recording info under SS for that channel now. Damn. Is there any other way to have the NVR pick up on this feed? It's a Dahua varifocal cam.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    Done. I have one camera that only has mainstream and substream 3 enabled (SS 3 is the only way to get 720p recording out of it). Will this still pick it up?

    Does this look right? This is for all cameras and 7 days.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    Another question: Should the PoE indicators be red? I'm getting live feeds successfully from all cameras, and they're all plugged into the inbuilt PoE ports.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    Thanks! I'll give it a go. I've already tried that trick with enabling IE in Win 11, but the performance is SLOW. Just navigating different pages within the NVR UI is incredibly laggy, and even when viewing video previous in the IVS screen for example, scrolling down requires that the browser...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI - any tutorials?

    Hey guys, So I bought my mother a NVR16CH-16P-2AI with 5 Dahua cameras. I'm running it headless as I'll be managing it from her workstation in her study. There is an 8TB WD Purple installed. I got it working to the point where I have initialized the cameras and I can see the live feeds, but I'm...

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Oh my bad. I didn't realize you meant that they're running two parallel systems.

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Thanks, but you said you got your folks an Arlo system. Which Arlo system do you consider to have good enough low light performance? Can you share the one you got for them?

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    What also cameras/NVRs would you recommend? Can they also have a Eufy doorbell added?

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Wouldn't this defeat the purpose if those cameras are trash at taking identifiable images?

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    Sorry you misunderstand. Her BEDROOM is on the second floor. The camera will be located on top of the garage door on the ground floor, directly UNDER her bedroom window

    Thanks, but you'll probably get crucified for this post lol. What cameras did you buy?

    Need NVR + 7x IP cams + 1x doorbell cam. What would you do?

    All good points, thank you. However one of them is going directly below her bedroom window on the second floor. She doesn't want a constant light, and she likes to sleep with the window open on warm nights. Mothers, amirite? I know that the white LEDs are not meant to light up an area, but if...
