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

    I had the same issue with the same model camera. POE switch just wasn't cutting it anymore it seems. The switch said it was putting out in the neighborhood of 15 watts to this model. It would endlessly spin on random PTZ moves, just not display video, but still could get to web interface...

    Update to MiniPTZ cams coming in 2024?

    I have seen a few cams get updates in chipsets and performance, but not really changing the rest of the camera. Just curious if the MiniPTZ line might be up for a refresh this year. I have a location that these MiniPTZ rigs work great, but the 2MP version I had died. Seems that most people...

    Difference between _S2 and _S3 ?

    My understanding from the little time I get to spend in this "hobby" is that it is a newer chipset like said above. For most of the cams here that get the newer hardware it seems to be a pretty good jump in performance. Funny because I just came to ask if anyone knows about an S3 update or...

    Looking for a decent doorbell camera that works with BI

    Not working yet as I don't have any of the hardware yet, but it doesn't seem overly complicated. I have done similar projects in the past so my confidence level is high ;). If you look at those amazon listings I posted, the one for the rectifier shows the pinout as far as where to hook AC and...

    Looking for a decent doorbell camera that works with BI

    To elaborate a bit more on the wiring of the 433mhz receiver...I looked into it a bit and was thinking of taking the 20ish volts AC going to my existing doorbell using a bridge rectifier like this: https://a.co/d/264lMPX to change to DC voltage and then to the receiver. https://a.co/d/6CHBMIV...

    Looking for a decent doorbell camera that works with BI

    I like the idea of using the relay to use an existing chime. I was thinking of something similar with an esp8266 and a relay using home assistant, but this would be independent of home assistant if anything should happen to it. I think if I did this I would use a bridge rectifier and wire this...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Can this doorbell cam be setup via a browser as well? I have no intention of this thing every getting to the internet and don't want to have to install an app just to get it working. Never used a reolink before so I'm not sure what I'm getting into if I try this.

    Just had a SD1A203T-GN die...what is the latest that is similar in size, but better in function?

    Right...I just jumped on that post because I had the same exact issue just a little later in time. I've done the things suggested there already and I can't think of anything else to try. So it looks like I'm in shopping mode now. I wasn't aware of the 4MP version of the cam...or didn't...

    Just had a SD1A203T-GN die...what is the latest that is similar in size, but better in function?

    Like the title says...just had a SD1A203T-GN die today...it won't respond to factory reset and just spins the PTZ all the time. See this thread. I took a look at Andy's amazon store and saw this same model, but don't really wanna spend money on the same model. So I'm wondering if anyone here has...

    SD1A203T-GN Just stopped working

    Hello, Not trying to hijack here, but I have the same situation. Was working last night...not this morning. I pulled it down from its perch and took it inside. Tried to factory reset with button. Not sure of the exact procedure here, but held it down for about 15 seconds while powered up...

    Dahua Mini-PTZ (SD1A404XB) Smart Plan Setup **SOLVED**

    Wow. I think that is a tall ask for a mini PC. Most desktop PCs as well. You want to take 58MP 15 times a second, run object detection and then facial recognition and then have home assistant send out notifications after running an automation. It would take a pretty beefy computer to do all...

    Dahua Mini-PTZ (SD1A404XB) Smart Plan Setup **SOLVED**

    Just a quick FYI...Frigate does not do face recognition. Frigate does object detection. You can use doubletake with frigate which then uses other things like deepstack or compreface to do face recognition. You can make it all work together so that if frigate detects a person doubletake can...

    Are the "spots" on the SUV not just the reflection of the trees above and to the side? Just what I would think I'm seeing when I look at the picture. Chipmunk...yeah kinda hard to tell exactly what that is, but it is also in both light and dark areas. Driveway I can't speak to, but you have a...

    @EMPIRETECANDY This SD49225T-HN was one I bought from you a while ago. It works OK for a quite a few months now, but would be nice to be able to see in a browser without a plugin. Could you take a look at this thread and see if you have any ideas of something I can try with this cam? All the...

    Not trying to be a jerk here, but after the first page this thread got derailed.

    pin-hole camera to video who is installing a jumper in my electric box

    Would you be able to see this location with a high zoom camera? Maybe then you wouldn't need to be right there with the camera.

    What's a good car/marine battery-based UPS?

    I've never seen one. You could use a battery charger and an inverter to make your own. Wouldn't put something like this in my house though.

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    This looks awesome. I'm using tensorflow with Home Assistant, but it is on an old machine and is not very powerful. It takes about 30 secs/detection so I thought I'd give this a try and run it on my BI machine. Issue seems to be that the deepstack server doesn't accept any incoming...

    HA System Recommendations?

    HomeSeer HS-FLS100+ Z-Wave Plus Floodlight Sensor – HomeSeer Store I use this outside and it is pretty nice in function and could also help your range issue depending on placement. A sparse zwave network is going to perform poorly so get some outdoor devices and get as close as you can. If...

    Dahua DB-11 DoorBell and DSC 1832 Powerseries Alarm Integration

    Well it is tucked up in the ceiling in the basement so it isn't easy to get to. What I recall doing though is putting the lower voltage wires (wht/blu and wht/yel) like it was another chime and then the normally open (yel and org) (or closed/blu) to a zone on the DSC.

    Unauthenticated access into a Dahua, how?

    What home automation software are you using? Are you worried about exposing the username and passwords or just don't want to have to use them? I use blue iris which does use the username/password, but then I can use the streams from there to homeassistant without authentication on my LAN.

    Dahua DB-11 DoorBell and DSC 1832 Powerseries Alarm Integration

    Don't use the alarm panel as power for your doorbell. I didn't read every word, but that was what I got out of skimming your post. You should get another transformer for the doorbell. They come in various formats. Most common are the ones wired directly into your electric panel, but plug in ones...

    Rec for home use in Blue Iris?

    On the outside of the house?!? Wow. If people readily accept this I need to start my own biz doing installs. I guess it somewhat depends on the construction of the building, but that seems ridiculous to me.

    New System Requirements

    I didn't say it would work well or even work at all. You are right if you look at it from the standpoint of a production system. This would be nothing more than an experiment.
