I’ve been using the day/night utility for my Z12E cameras. However, on one of them I’d like to go from being zoomed all the way in during the day to being almost being completely zoomed out during the night. When toggling between my #1 and #2 profiles (day/night) both zoom and focus stay the same. Is there a way to remedy this?

It can be done with this utility if the GUI is the old black/grey/orange GUI.
If not, then further on that post are how to put in the APIs in BI are in there.
While varifocals are designed as a set and forget, many of us have had a varifocal change once or twice per day based on day/night and work fine. Mine is still going strong since 2019. The only exception is the focus has drifted over time, probably because of this daily zoom, but a simple "recalibrate" it to a new focus number fixed that, but I have only had to do that once.

I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...

This thing works like a champ. I had given up on it before and used the schedule/presets inside BI for day/night configurations. One question, will this start up with BI upon restart of the machine?
It is setup as a service so it will restart with any computer restart.
