I think I may try one, do you have a recommendation on one. I've looked at them on Amazon, but it's really hard to tell from the reviews if any of them are any good.

mine is supposed to only be triggering on humans and vehicles, but we do have more than our fair share of bugs. I wonder how far away would be required for an alternate light source? Would 15 ft. away be enough to make a difference?

We have at least one bat, I've seen him the last couple of nights. The bug show every night looks like snow showers in a wind storm. 17 year Cicadas are due any day now, that should be good.

unfortunately we don't have any outside lighting anywhere so it's pretty much pitch dark most of the night. :(

It's bug season again and my camera is almost in continual recording mode after dark. In the past I've just turned off the IR in the summer, but wanted to see if this new camera was any better, but it's not. I have hours of bugs flying around. Is there a good work around for this? What if I put...

I was using a separate account at gmail. I just now switched over to an old yahoo account and it seems to be working. Crossing my fingers it continues.

I had email notifications set up a while back using a gmail address. It quit working and I've never tried to reactivate it. What is everyone using for an email server on their cams?

Mine is going to be mostly cars/trucks. I have another ptz that I bought a couple of years ago, their 45x model and it is better about zooming in, but bad about zooming out. As traffic comes toward the camera it follows it but never really zooms out and eventually the car/truck drives out of the...

Thanks I'll try IE. I've never had it automatically zoom in past about 18x when it's auto tracking.

I"m using Pale Moon currently. You'd think there would be a delay of some sort available.

I'm still trying to hone my ptz settings. Seems like I adjust them and when saved they go back to default. When my camera identifies a target and tracks it once the target stops or disappears behind something the camera almost immediately reverts back to the preset. Is there a way to have it...

looks like there was a firmware update for the nvr, but my camera is on the latest version. I tried using as old yahoo account, no luck. I know you're supposed to turn off less secure apps in yahoo, but I don't think that option is out there anymore.

I fooled with this feature a while back and it worked fine for a while using gmail. But it quit working and I've never really jumped back into fixing it. At the time it was gmail causing the problems. What's the best way to setup getting email alerts?

I'm setting up a camera to monitor a street scene. It's fairly busy most of the time so it's not possible to set trip wires or boxes to trigger recording. Is it possible to set the camera to continually record to the SD card on the camera? If so, how long would it record before writing over...

I knew I had seen a discussion of this, thanks for the link.

I find myself needing to monitor a remote location. I'd like to use a bullet camera from Empire. I've got some of his others and they work great, but I just use them locally. Ideally I'd like to buy an Arlo and be done with it. I like their free remote access and storage. It's worked great for...

I've been following the auto tracking thread (Dahua poor auto tracking - What am I doing wrong?) and have noted that one of the other PTZ cameras has the ability to trigger a preset when a tripwire or intrusion box is activated. I know my current firmware, which is not the latest, does not offer...

As soon as my camera zooms in or changes from the preset position I loose all IVS boxes and trip wires. Not like the video above shows.

Well, unfortunately I don't seem to have that option on my camera:

I like the nesting idea and think it would help my tracking, but I don't see an option to call a preset on the IVS set up screen. What am I missing?

that's good, I'll look through there. I've not see a set up manual for the software so I've just been clicking around in the dark basically.

I've never fooled with those settings. Is there a compendium of what all the controls do and how to adjust them?

Are there any settings to use that minimize the recording of bugs at night? I get a lot of moths flying around and it's almost a constant recording.

Thanks, I'll try that. I really haven't done a good nuts and bolts check on this, but of late it seems to be less accurate than when I first set it up. We have an obstacle course for a driveway. If it has rained the puddles are full of water and sometimes when a car hits those and the water...

My biggest complaint is that once the camera zooms in to do an autotrack, it really never zooms back out much. Mine is set on long driveway and when some comes toward the camera from the far distance, it zooms in to track them, but as they get closer it really never zooms out much to keep them...

I've been using my camera for almost a year. And it's been great. The only that I don't like is it will zoom in when tracking, but as the target gets closer it never really zooms back out. Is this a typical way tracking works. I have not done any firmware updates.

wouldn't have thought it was getting to that level. I did change the setting to port 587 and TLS authentication and it seems to be working now.

I've had the email delivery set up on three cameras for a few months now and it's been working great. For some reason now none of the three work. When selecting "test" I get a fail response. I haven't changed any of the settings. Power reboot, still the same. All three are using a gmail...

says it will only handle 600w, might not be enough for a ptz with IR and a heater. Looks like it would work great for a fixed cam.

Happened to catch this just before dark today
