I haven't gone back to try again, been busy in retirement:-). Not sure I can answer with a lot of tech background but here's what I've seen. When I installed ZT I had to tell it what my "nodes" (devices) were, especially my BI PC. Part of ZTs security is reassigning that PC with another very...

Yes, and I forgot to mention I'm using Firefox although I could also use Chrome or Pale Moon. So UI3 (from GitHub) doesn't need to be loaded on the remote PC in my den, which is on the network? ZeroTier assigns a new IP to the BI PC; for example, from my phone while on WiFi or not, the LAN...

Edit 4/9/2024: Revised screen shots and explanation after learning more. SOLVED Here are the settings I found that do what I needed, which is to alternately display one group, then another, in an auto-cycle. From this view, select the circled gear icon to bring up the group settings for that...

I've read the manual about group auto-cycle, but I may be mis-interpreting what that means. Here's what I'd like to do if it's possible to do it. I have 4 cameras for the front of our house and defined as a group called "Front of House" - very original, I know. I have another 4 cameras in a...

Need some help installing UI3 on one of my desktop PCs running Windows 7 Pro. This is a separate computer in my office NOT containing my dedicated BI system. I use ZeroTier, which is probably irrelevant at this point, but I've tried entering the LAN IP in my BI phone app (IP created by ZT)...

Very nice, thanks for sharing! I saw your other YT of Orion and the satellite. I have an IPC-B52IR-z12-s2 coming soon and I'll have to try some stargazing at the 12x (60mm) "telescope" setting. My real telescope is a 10" f/5.6 tracking split C-ring Dobsonian I made a long time ago, but never...

To close out and answer my first question "Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself": Answer: In the BI Manual, go...

I'm interested if you still have it.

For your Part 1, maybe I didn't say it very well but that varifocal doesn't have presets in the GUI like my PTZs do, so not an option, maybe to avoid unintended abuse. I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.

Is there a list of scripts that can be used in the BI PTZ Preset "On Call", MQTT line? Or maybe a Do Command? I've copied/pasted a script for day/night control from others but don't inherently understand scripts myself. I have a 2017 Dahua IPC-HFW4431R-Z (zoom only) without the PTZ/Preset...

TBH, can you elaborate how you get to, and turn off, the digital zoom with a CGI command? I have an older Dahua that is stuck at about 1-1/2x digital zoom and scrolling out to 1x (no digital zoom) is fine while I stare at the image but as soon as I view another cam and then come back to the...

In theory, if I have a Dahua PTZ292 cam as a stand-alone camera (i.e., don't use a separate trigger cam) and..... - Preset 1 is set to widest angle as default position - create (for example) 4 detection zones A, B, C, D - when zone A gets triggered the PTZ goes to preset 2 and zooms to that...

Next step is getting the PTZ window to override the trigger cam window when triggered.

I have been frustrated with finding the right setting to get my PTZ camera to hold, or "loiter", at a preset position triggered by my trigger cam, but I found it. In the PTZ camera's settings, in the PTZ/Control tab, "Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec)" , is what appears to control...

I FOUND IT! See the attached image, Not able to paste a snippet for some reason, but in the PTZ camera's settings, in the PTZ/Control tab, "Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec)" , is what appears to control the loiter time when directed to a preset by the trigger cam. I played with...

I have the old GUI and it has idle time, and it seems to apply equally to all preset numbers, which is fine if it worked. I have it set to 1 minute and doesn't work, the camera moves to position and immediately goes back to preset 1 without pausing. Ri22o: with your newer GUI do you get to...

Hi again, I now have multiple trigger cams and clones directing my Empire PTZ292 to 7 presets. Triggering the trigger cam makes the PTZ move to the proper preset, however I can't figure out how to make it return to Preset 1 (preferred home position) after some period of time, say 30 seconds...

I figured out how to fix it and it appears to be a function of the All Cameras layout: In the top right of the screen I clicked "Edit Layout" and it was not in order. It's been this way for a day or two without problems like what I described. When I rearranged the layout in numerical order...

This is weird, has anyone seen this before? When I pull up the All Cameras view on my screen and right click for Camera Settings, the name, short name, and notes appear from a different camera. If I go to that different camera, it's name, shortname, etc. have been changed to (what used to be)...

I may try that.... I noticed this morning that my connection still worked (on cell, WiFi off) however it took a minute and I had to turn ZT off, they on, and did the same with the BI App. 2 hrs later I had to do the same. It seems something in the path is going to sleep. Now that I've been...

Thank you Sample, I tried those things and still no connection via cell phone; however it is working now. I did a few things but one or more helped it seems: - In BI WebServer I changed from an obscure port number to :81. This updated both the LAN and WAN port settings. Last night I had also...

Last night I was able to turn my phone wifi off and force Zerotier and BI through outside cell connection and it worked fine. This morning it doesn't work anymore. ZT is running on my phone and on my BI PC, so I'm questioning the settings in the PC, both in ZT and BI. For those who are...

Thank you, following that video step-by-step with a bunch of rewinds did the trick. And thanks Broachovsky, never having done this before I didn't know what to expect.

At the advice of many on here I've signed up for Zerotier because I gave up getting port forwarding to work with my Verizon Home LTE device and, as many state, it's not a very secure method anyway. I am not-not-not very network savvy and the site seems to assume some prior knowledge of VPNs or...

Ok, thanks Looney, that's what I expected but I need to find that Find Inspect line. We're heading out so will look tomorrow.

Hi everyone, Just got my PTZ292 camera from Andy and trying to set up some presets, never done it before. My BI version is 5.3.6.7 and Windows 10 Pro. The PTZ protocal (right term?) is "Dahua New 4" that I got to work; ONVIF did not work. The camera protocol is "generic/ONVIF" so the two...

Well crud....always something! I may talk to Andy about it

Hey everyone, I wanted to close out my part of this inquiry and not leave it unanswered or unappreciated. After reading your comments I took a better look at my camera selections. I have returned the inexpensive HikVision dome; I do find the image quality on all of my 6 domes to be less than...

My installations are underneath the eaves and dry from what I've seen. A look at the circuit board doesn't show any corrosion. The connector gets stuffed up above the eave and on the last one I did see corrosion, but despite trying to clean the RJ45 contacts no dice. Hindsight: I should have...

Thanks everyone, your suggestions worked. Yes, the Ubiquiti adapter is indeed 24V. When I used my normal PoE switch it powered up. The default was 192.168.1.64 as suggested. Why HikVision doesn't say that anywhere obvious is puzzling since most people want to immediately change it to...
