    IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E keeps losing focus

    My IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E focus mode is set to Manual. However, every now and then (about 1-2 months maybe?) I would discover that it had gone out of focus and needed refocusing. I never could remember the exact value for the focus so I have to do a manual focus by parking a car where it's aimed and...

    wd purple pro noisy drive seek

    I use a 10tb wd purple pro for my blue iris machine on a dell optiplex 7040. It's located in a room adjacent to my bedroom, and at night I find its noise to be a bit annoying. Constantly grinding grr grr grrr. Note that I know what a faulty hdd noise sounds like, and this is not a fault noise...

    Frame advice - should I zoom in more?

    This is my current LPR camera. Should I zoom in more? Other than this particular car, all the other ones can be read very clearly. This one is difficult because it has some sort of acrylic frame over the plate.

    Typo in the camera data

    I was working on getting more detailed IVS data from Dahua cameras (purchased from @EMPIRETECANDY ) and noticed a typo inside the data. This raw data is retrieved using the following command: $ curl -s --digest --user 'user:pass'...

    how to cancel when only bird is detected, but not when there's a car+bird?

    My understanding is that the "To Cancel" input in the camera's Artificial Intelligence / Deepstack is so when a car + person + bird was detected and I entered "bird" in the "tocancel", it will cancel the trigger? I want a trigger cancelled only when bird is detected without car/person/other...

    Missing about 62 seconds of recording (signal loss / no signal)

    Whilst reviewing my recording, it appears that blueiris didn't record / skipped about 62 seconds of footage. I've attached the video here, I am running it at 2x but it happens whether I'm playing it at 1x or higher. The missing footage starts 8 seconds into the attached movie, the BI overlay...

    BI not triggering when people were walking in the distance

    I have a camera pointing at my driveway, towards the road. It would trigger BI when cars were passing through, but when people were walking on the road, it won't trigger BI. I am guessing this may be because "Min Object Size" is too big? Is there a way to set different "Min object size" for...

    What is this triggering my camera alert?

    I'm using BlueIris. The camera is IPC-T5442T-ZE. I've set up my alert to beep on my google home.... when there's motion near the house.... but this sometimes triggers it... (in the first 2s of the video). Looks like a bug flying / crawling in front of the camera. How do I avoid it?

    Free LPR Software

    I'd like to get the HFW5241E-Z12E camera and set up an LPR system at home. What free, preferably open source software is available to perform the processing? I have a blueiris computer, with an nvidia gpu (T600). I'd like to keep track of the cars passing by, so I'd like to get an MQTT message...

    Where should I put my camera for facial recognition?

    This is a photo of my front door with two possible camera locations I can think of. Which one would you suggest? I've attached photos of what my camera takes from each position. A: B: I'd like to have facial recognition done by DeepStack (if that's possible) so I can be alerted if a known...

    Will this card (Nvidia T600) fit inside Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF?

    I'm in the process of gathering the hardware to run BlueIris + DeepStack. I'm wondering whether an nVidia (Is it Quadro?) T600 would fit inside a Dell Optiplex 7040? I have never dealt with an SFF before, so not sure what type of card it could take (low profile? Standard? how long can the card...

    Is there a reason to get IPC-T5442T-ZE over IPC-T5842T-ZE(IPC-HDW5842T-ZE)?

    Hi, a long time lurker here but a newbie when it comes to ipcam. I haven't got any cam, but I'd like to start installing them at home. Since I'm not sure what focal length to get, I think a varifocal would be a good choice, so I narrowed it down to these two cameras: Link to both products...
