    Camera thinks telephone pole is human

    The PTZ actually does pretty good for the most part. It does have its drawbacks like if a group of 3 is kinda spaced out walking then I'm only getting one of them. It also has a fetish for trailers for some reason lol. It tracks really good when its the one that first picks up the motion. If a...

    Camera thinks telephone pole is human

    Lol my PTZ tries to track the side of my house thats not in view of any camera. Complete blind spot. I have a shingle that flaps right on the edge and somehow it zooms in on it. Its weird because not even the PTZ can see it. Maybe the PTZ can really see 2.8 but only shows me 5 at the lowest...

    Camera thinks telephone pole is human

    Anyone know how to get the camera or NVR to stop tagging a telephone pole as human? It also does it with my backyard playground. The NVR currently runs Acupic and IVS. It would be great if I could just draw a box around it and say its not human. I dont want to completely block it out though...

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    Yes. I tested the PTZ linkage. It worked. I setup a preset that pointed to pretty much nothing so I'd know if it was triggered. I then put the trigger as the front door so there's no way the PTZ would have been triggered by itself or any other camera with that specific preset. Then I watched...

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    Pretty sure I got the PTZ trigger figured out too. Its in the events tab. I never seen it because my D1 and D2 cameras are doorbell cameras that didnt have a option. When I picked an actual dahua smart cam then it showed me a ton of options for it. One of them being link PTZ. I'm slowly...

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    I'm going to let it run a day in acupic mode and see how it goes. Seems like a lot of people here are not a fan of it. Would you happen to know where the PTZ linkage for a spotter cam is located in the new menu. The old one was Ai, aparameters, IVS, and then you just picked a channel and...

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    Yes that got it. Now I'm working on trying to get the bandwidth back up since all the AI is done on my cameras. I have 80Mbps left with 16 channels so far. Most of my cameras currently have Acupic enabled and an IVS plan. The NVR also has an option for either Acupic or AI mode. Is one better...

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    Nevermind. I think I need to turn acupick off and AI mode on and then it should let the cameras do the AI work. Right now all my cams just run on tripwire and intrusion boxes for human and animals only.

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    That did it. Thanks, I cant wait until someone makes a new video for this new version. They moved a lot of stuff around in it. While messing with it I seen my bandwidth was down to 80Mbps free out of 236Mbps. How do i get it back up to 328 like the old NVR? All of the AI is done on my...

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    Quick question. Is there anyway to rename the cameras? Like my PTZ is currently D8 but on the new NVR its different. Same as all the other channels. I have them all wrote down with D1-16 and now none of them are the same on the new NVR. Thanks in advance

    Got a new NVR for Father's day!!

    I had a 5216 4ks2 and now I have a NVR 5232-16p-EI. I know Andy's naming is a little different but that's close enough lol. My old one didnt have poe. I just used a poe switch but my switch only has a few ports left so this works out good. I also updated the firmware since I have to learn new...

    Help with vlan, vpn or whatever

    I got this half working on my asus router but everytime I'd try and connect to DMSS it would timeout or say my internet connection was unusual and wouldn't work. I tried both wireguard and openvpn. The asus router even shows a green checkmark to show its connected. If you get this working on...

    PTZ425DB-AT auto track help

    Well between having Grandkids all day and not being able to do much else, I did get the tracking working. I ended up just using one cam for a driveway spotter cam and left the PTZ to do the IVS on most of the presets. So now it will track me walking all the way from the car on the side to the...

    PTZ425DB-AT auto track help

    Track time is set to 300 but it a return to preset 1 after 1 minute. Other than the presets, Its pretty much how it came out of the box. SMD off, tripwire/intrusion on. I'll take the spotters off and see how it does.

    PTZ425DB-AT auto track help

    It should be. Since making this post i have my spotter cam in the front setup with 2 different trip wire zones. If your close to the front door it will activate preset 2 on the ptz. If your more towards the end of the driveway it will trip preset 4. I think I might have to go through the...

    PTZ425DB-AT auto track help

    I cant seem to get auto tracking to work like I'm wanting. I have this camera mounted on a corner so it can see 270 degrees. I have home set as preset 1 and it will track anything that goes in that zone. I have the front of my yard as preset 2 and it will go to preset 2 with a spotter cam but...
