    BI - HTTP:401Unauthorized after hard power cycle

    Good morning. Anybody know of a solution other than using the camera watchdog to repetitively restart the camera in BI after getting this error? This is frequently occurring after Axis M1045-LW gets hard power cycled, relocated, etc. The camera boots back up and joins the network. But its...

    Restrict Non-Admin users from saving to disk in UI3

    Good afternoon. I can't figure out a way to restrict a UI3 user to not be allowed to utilize the "Save image to Disk" feature. Even having non-admin rights they are still able to snapshot and save images. I would like the user to not be able to do any recording or saving of imaging files...

    Front yard camera pole recommendations

    Looking for recommendations for a pole to put in my front yard. I believe a 16' long 6x6 would not be rigid enough and I'm not sure if I could find any glulam posts pressure treated the full length. I am leaning towards a schedule 40 4" steel or aluminum pipe and putting it in concrete 3' in the...

    Help with focus / script issue

    Ok.... so the Dahua sunrise / sunset utility written by bp2008 is a great utility and does 80% of what I need. The problem with it is that it does not do a focus "watchdog" and re-apply the focus commands as needed. I modified this script written by the person in the quote below to keep one of...

    Please help! Settings / Suggestions for HFW5231E-Z12

    Hi guys. I have 4 of these pulling LPR duties at 2 different locations. I am not crazy about the LPR performance to be honest. I am sure there are some settings that can be tweaked so that's why I am posting. The biggest challenge is my State LPs are flat (no raised letters / texture) and...

    Hi. I have 4 of these cams pulling LPR duty and only 1 (the newest) is exhibiting this behavior. It totally looses focus for no apparent reason even / especially in the middle of the day. I am attaching some videos that you can fast forward to see when the camera just BAM goes out of focus...

    LPR motion settings

    Can anybody share their LPR motion settings? I have absolutley had it and threw my hands up and set one of my LPRs to continous recording and will probably do the same for the other 3.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 test LPR video / critique please

    So I installed my first LPR designated cam. This is at my church. I have come to realize that Delaware (USA) plates are very difficult to capture. First of all there is no enforcement of the "No covers over plates" law. 2nd, our plates are flat (not textured numbers) and blue and gold. Very...
