    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Removing the Date Range fixes the issue but it makes load times long becuase you are loading the entire database. It looks like the MaxDate has a bad value. This is what I did that fixes the issue. Just add a line to set the MaxDate. Now it loads quick with just 1 day of data populated...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Just wanted to say Thank You for creating this. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I did manage to get it all working. But I did run into a lot of the same issues discussed in this thread. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works over time.

    Where is the option to record 24/7 in Xprotect 2017?

    you have to setup a "Rule" that triggers the recording. There isn't an easy button to click to make it work.

    Looking for a long-range night vision camera.

    That one is fine as well. It just depends on how how zoom you want. The Z12 is only a little bit more$$

    Where is the option to record 24/7 in Xprotect 2017?

    I tried on 2018 and when you have an always record rule running you can't skip to just motion sequences with the buttons. Yes this still sucks.

    Is there a Milestone app?

    Use "Add Server Manually". You will need a to use a DNS service if you want to access away from home. Or setup a VPN for more secure access.

    Is there a Milestone app?

    You need Windows 10 Pro to install Milestone. Windows 10 Home will not work. Could be the reason for the IIS error.

    Looking for a long-range night vision camera.

    The IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 reaches 88 meters on full zoom for highest level of detail required for "Identify" on the DORI scale. This is also a Starlight camera so night vision will be good. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/12371

    Didn't mean to cost you $$. I assumed you had some type of subscription plan for a service.

    Package Thief

    That database is sweet. Can you tell from any previous pictures if that car ever had white side mirrors? at the end of 2016 a car almost exactly like this one was captured on camera in the neighborhood racing away from a home burglary. The only difference in the car was it had white side...

    Package Thief

    Detective came by and made me do a digital line up. I didn't pick the person they know is associated with the car. If I had they would have issued an assert warrant that day. They are still trying to track her down. IDK why I need to pass the line up, anyone can look at the picture and say...

    Package Thief

    Stole my package 2 minutes after it was delivered. Scum of the Earth. Too bad for them I caught great face shots and a License Plate #. It's only a matter of time before they are picked up.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Pretty sure I have some condensation issues with mine now. I noticed when cleaning the lens that there are a few large spots that are inside the glass. It also looked like the inside of the glass was dirty/dusty. Mine is mounted under my eves so it is semi sheltered. Has anyone taken one of...

    Running CAT POE through return air ducts.

    Get a wire toning kit, tie a string to the toner and lower it to the bottom. Then go hunt for it with the tone probe in the basement.

    Commercial Setup

    The Dahua Config tool does have some batch config tools. I haven't used them but I've seen it. Looks like you can batch modify IP's. There is also a settings template you can apply to a batch of cameras. Maybe play around with that. I do question why you are ordering all vari-focal for...

    Commercial Setup

    You should have the camera's set to variable bit rate with a max of 8K. Most of the time they will only be streaming at about half of that. I think on the live view page of the Dahua's they display the current bit rate. Most likely you would come in under the max bit rate of 384Mbps in this...

    Outdoor Enclosures/UPS/Switch

    I've seen some pictures of outdoor enclosure setups people have run with routers/switches/ups ect... Are there any concerns with heat running a 8port Poe switch and a consumer UPS in the boxes? All the switches I've looked up say the same thing as far as operating env temps up to 104f Is there...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    You should be able to plug the Pi into a Poe port of the NVR, if there is a spare. Once it's running on the NVR's camera side network it wouldn't have any problem talking directly to the camera. It's not an ideal solution by any means, but technically possible.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 LPR from 137 feet

    You can adapt a raspberry pi to run a simple script to take care of the day/night profile change and manual focus. I did a small prof of concept for this when I got a neighbor one of these cameras. He was running just a NVR. We never put it in place because he wasn't having any issues. I had...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    I successfully updated 7 2032 bullet cams straight to 5.4.5 :-) However I have one that I tried to upgrade the firmware a year ago and it reverted to CN and the web gui didn't really work. But I could still connect to the stream and use it. That camera completed the brick fix upload but I'm...

    Run time for this UPS Backup?

    That UPS looks very small. I would checkout these runtime pages from the mfg's. http://www.apc.com/tools/ups_selector/pso/zones/by_load.cfm?location_type=home Runtime Calculator | Power Runtime Calculating Tool
