I think it was a baby martin. You can see one of the parents behind him in pursuit and attacking.

Photo of a Cooper's Hawk I took in my backyard when I lived in TX.

Double check on your camera settings that you have motion detection enable checked under video detection. Then under Smart Plan, you have only IVS selected. Then under the IVS section, set your tripwires. My 5442 camera firmware is V2.800.0000000.16.R, Build Date: 2020-05-29. My BI is V5 on...

The 5442s support facial detection only, not facial recognition. You can easily set them to detect humans only with object filtering.

That sucks. I rarely buy anything from Ebay anymore. I bought a renewed Dell Vostro 3470 from Amazon for $420 that was supposed to have an I7-8700. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it looked new and had an I7-9700 instead. I had to add more RAM, SSD, 2nd NIC, and larger hard drive.

I clear the zone in the motion settings. I still draw trip wires under IVS along with using the object filtering, because I don't want alerts when people are walking on sidewalks, just when they are in my yard.

I have 5 5442s, and I turn off all of the motion settings except IVS and SMD filtering for humans and vehicles. I don't use substream 1 and have substream 2 set at 720P at 15fps. I have an I7-9700 and see 5-10% CPU in UI3 for six 4MP cams. The only cam that I get false alarms due to bugs is...

I'm running the latest version and SMD works great for me, day and night. If you're running a schedule, log into your camera and make sure you have the correct settings for day and night. I clear the zone in the motion settings day and night and only use IVS with SMD filtering. I can't recall...

I also was having a problem with web alerts not working. I rolled back to the last stable release, and it starting working again. What are you seeing in the log screen in BI? I was getting a 400 error. Does it work if you post the URL directly in a browser?

Did you also disable the noise filter under the camera settings for the mic and mic volume at 100? I hear sound on my mobile BI app, but you have to click the speaker icon.

Use the IPVM Tool instead found here: IPVM Camera Calculator V3 I have a full-frame Nikon as well, so I know what you're thinking, but there is a big difference between a 35mm full-frame sensor on a high end camera and a 1/2.8" or 1/1.8" security camera sensor. The IPVM tool will give you an...

You have to install the BI app in Hubitat first. You then set up a trigger in rule machine using a local endpoint, copy the URL that Hubitat generates and paste that in the camera's alert screen in BI. The alert is the MQTT one or something like that. It seems to be working well so far, but...

Agreed on a facial ID, but he walked right past my driveway, so we might have caught something of interest. The neighbors got lucky as the Police found the car at a nearby hotel yesterday. I guess they took it for a quick joy ride.

I have the same camera with 2.8 and 3.6 mm lens and 2 on order with 6mm lenses for my garage. I wish I had them installed already as the neighbor across the street just got their car stolen this morning. I could see the silhouette of a guy walking down the street and the car leaving from my...

I have two of them for my backyard along with their doorbell. No way to feed into BI the last time I checked. I had to return one recently because the spotlights stopped working. Eufy shipped me a replacement quickly, so good customer service. The second one went offline yesterday, and my...

What are your backlight settings? Try WDR at 30 and then adjust. I also lower gamma to 47 or so. I use WDR for day and then switch to HLC for night for my set up. If that doesn't help, post your picture and exposure settings. The light near noon is very harsh and the camera only has so much...

For comparison, I paid $600 to run 6 lines through my attic last week in a single story in Central FL. It took him almost 5 hours. I supplied my own 23 AWG solid copper Cat6 cable, and I'm doing my own terminations and camera installs.

I'm just now building my system, and I've read the Wiki, the Cliff Notes multiple times, and this whole thread at least twice. Based on that and the multiple camera review threads, I purchased four of the 5442 turrets as the best bang for the buck camera and will purchase more when the...

Hi Andy, Can I get a price for the new varifocal 5542 Turret, IPC-HDW5442T-ZE, shipped to Florida? https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Network-Cameras/WizMind-Series/5-Series/4MP/IPC-HDW5442T-ZE
