I have 5 of these cameras. Which are quite amazing with dual cameras both 640 Thermal and 2MP color. On one of the camera the Day/Night mode is switching from Auto to Day about every other day for no reason. For the life of me I can figure out why. All 5 cameras have the same firmware. Any...

I have two servers. Mirrored settings. I can’t get the one server to show the motion rectangles during playback by recoding in the record tab of the camera. My second server will not allow this. If I change to recode. Camera restarts and stays with direct to disc. I want to see the rectangles so...

Do you think its possible to create a PTZ pattern within Hikvision GUI and then somehow assign this to a blueiris preset to run there?

I have 12 Cams in service 6 of which are thermals. With only 640x480 res. Yet they all randomly will go offline saying socket error mostly, sometimes Bandwidth errors. If I repower them completely they will often reboot fine. Rebooting from Blue Iris normally doest fix, they need to be...

Amazing....thank you

I would love to have the API Command for this to turn on and off the manual IR. I can do this with other Dahua cams changing from ZoomPrio to Manual settings etc. Works amazing with the laser camera. But this has so many light settings Im unsure of the API

Want to create a preset in Blue Iris to work the wiper one time as needed. Done this with Dahua no problem. But dont know API for hikvision

Yes...this is what I considered. Thank you. But I will have to test. Because your first version could also be right. As it appears they can sometimes be wired to have 2 switches. I guess front door & back door, haha. So effectively the green or the yellow may work the same, but just by using one...

10/4 I got it and will test....thanks

Awesome. I never would have known not to use the alarm ground. One thing, if wiring the ding dong to 12v red and black. The green and yellow activate it when connected. So to be clear I don’t want to use alarm out and alarm com connected to yellow and green? And just red black to 12v source? I...

I have the SD49225XA-HNR PTZ. I am trying to work the the alarm I/O wires to trip a door bell sensor during motion as I am at an off grid location and not using BI. This model has 5 wires. Alarm Out Alarm Com Alarm Ground Alarm In 1 Alarm In 2 Using this doorbell...

Damn. Haha. Now this is back in contention. I have seen info of NUCs under minimal load using 15 watts all the way up to 150watts! If I can keep this under 35. I’d be golden. I can go into bios and turn some stuff off too like wifi. Worth a look at.

This is good info. Thanks. You must live in florida. Here in central NY. I needed 1200watts of solar panels to keep a 125watt load going. And that was with a timer to shut things down from midnight to 4am. We just get too much greyness. This is helpful though in the sense I don’t think I can...

Well. The solar setup size would be determined by the CPU load. I can easily handle 20watt 24/7. But above 35-40 watt gets sizeable very quick. I guess I’m just not sure what these things would spit out with 20-25% cpu load. Most data that I can find just mentions idle power. But running as a...

Have 4 PTZ cameras at an offgrid cabin run entirely by solar. Looking to run Blue Iris so I can scrap Dahua DMSS P2P control which sucks and is clunky. I dont need to record or any AI stuff. This is strictly for live viewing wildlife, and using phone for blue iris login and control is so...

Have SD6AL433XA-HNR. Looking to use a preset command to change the laser setting. I have gotten as far as being able to turn laser on or switching to zoom prio with API command. But I cannot interpret how to switch the laser angle. I can only change the angle in Web gui. Any help is greatly...

Using DMSS for some SD6 PTZ cameras. PTZ presets for for smartpss, and web UI. But when trying on DMSS it says "Operation Failed" Can seem to figure out why but must get it to work.

Yup....just got it working. Only needed the two wires. Works perfect. Thanks! No more motion sensor out by the bait.

10/4 So the alarm out wires create a closed loop upon camera trigger? And only those 2 wires are needed?

Yes the 5 wire version shown here https://dahuawiki.com/Ip_camera_alarm I ordered this for the doorbell sound. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JDWTP6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Power source is a 12V battery so I dont need a 120V transformer. Question is do I still...

I would like to setup my camera to trigger a 12v doorbell buzzer. This buzzer can have its own power source via a 12V battery. I am trying to figure out how to do this directly with the cameras 5 alarm wires since I am using no NVR. Most threads I can find utilize an NVR for the relay and power.

Here are comparison shots. Top is via Browser or SmartPSS. Below is through BI. You can see its noticeable softer. Also included video settings.

CPU% is a none issue so far. 35% Running just (4) 4MP Dahua PTZ's and (4) 640x480 Thermal cams. I dont record. The cameras are simply for live viewing wildlife, not security. So full quality is what is most important.

I will upload some photos of my settings in a bit. I have substreams all turned off at the camera side since I have no need for them. I am currently using bicubic as that gave me the best overall picture but its still not as clear as web browser live view and SmartPSS.

Math solved. Screenshots removed. However main question remains unanswered. Is it just how BI decodes the stream? Cameras and BI are set correctly, so I think. But then again, I am here, aren't I.

I use my system for live viewing wildlife. Therefore I am trying to get the best stream quality available in BI. No matter what options I choose, the quality isnt as good good as it is via the live view on browser. BI is noticeably softer. Is this simply due to differences of decoding, even...
