    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    That it meets MY needs is most certainly the case. That is the only case/point I am/was making. In all of my posts. You'll probably say now that my needs a mind numbingly simple (with much more colorful, abusive language, I'm sure.) I'll just stipulate to that to save you the typing. And...

    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    Your replies to all my posts sound like you are on Blue Iris's payroll or have an agenda to trash Sighthound. My choice of SH comes after buying and testing 7 different NVRs, and 5 PC based systems. I'll say what I have said before: Sighthound meets all my needs for a residential security...

    I let the camera do it automatically. Haven't missed a plate yet.

    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    Correct on the lack of matrix view. Thumbnails appear on the right. Storage options include local or network drive or FTP. Mine goes to an NAS. No scheduling, but a number of options for motion detection (area, people only, trip wire one or both directions.)

    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    No. I review motion activated saved videos any time I need to identify a vehicle or its plate.

    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    My report will not be definitive. I discovered Blue Iris long after I began using Vitamin D Video (Sighthound's original incarnation). Because I do community workshops on installation of home surveillance systems I felt I should be conversant with BI in case someone asked about it in a...

    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    I use only people, objects and objects crossing a line detection. Dogs are usually detected as people in my experience.

    Dahua IP-HFW5231E-Z5 LPR settings

    Have been tweaking my HFW5231E-Z5 over the past few days and am sharing the settings I have found to optimize plate reading. Cam is mounted in a tree about 15 feet above road and 20 degrees or so off to the side. Road itself is a 30 degree uphill climb, so no vehicle is going much faster than...

    HFW5421E-Z IE access problems

    Finally success. Chrome with IE Tab extension works now. Created new user with full privileges. Login works fine with new user credentials. Now, can someone tell me how to change the shutter speed. Can't seem to find where that control is.

    HFW5421E-Z IE access problems

    Hi SD, cleared all temporary files. Still no luck. The only way I have been able to access the camera using a browser is by using Edge. It accepts login/PW but does not stream video. The link for the plugin is to a Chrome extension, which is of course useless in Edge. Tried to find the...

    HFW5421E-Z IE access problems

    @Solar Diety, I just tried the Edge, three dots, Open in IE". Same result. Enter username, and PW, get new popup that says, "Authorize failed, Please login again!". Guess I'll have to stick with Config Tool. Barry

    HFW5421E-Z IE access problems

    When I hit cancel, both username and pw are cleared of anything entered, leaving both fields blank. That's all. I have tried Chrome (with and without IE tab). No luck. When I use Edge, I log in OK but am prompted to download an add in from the Chrome webstore. Of course, all that does is...

    HFW5421E-Z IE access problems

    Just took delivery of the HFW5421E-Z. Using default IP of 192.168.1.108 (corresponds to my subnet of 192.168.1.x), no other device with that address. Accessing that IP address on IE I get the familiar Dahua login page. I type in admin/admin, am prompted to change my password. I have tried...
