Ok, I tried using your exact coordinates now. @samplenhold
At the same time I changed my computer's time setting to UTC-6 to avoid any mismatch there.
Still getting the "Input string was not in a correct format"
I get the error when I close the configuration tab.
I have also changed my ONVIF password in the cameras setup
Any more suggestions?
@gwminor48 Yes there is a colon. The utility actually makes it this format automatically when you fill in the values in your boxes. No "pass" is not my real password, I just filled it in there for the purpose of taking a screenshot before posting it here
Whats the current position with the 4kT? Is the utility fixed yet to work with it? I have mine switching by schedule but it would be far better to have sunset data controlling the switch.
I tried the PTZ hack but it didn't work. Maybe I need to revisit it. It's a pity we either don't have an app or Dahua don't integrate something into the camera to switch it over. One thing I have found with set time switchovers is if you get a stormy dark day, it switches too late. Set it for that time and get a bright sunny day, and it can be too early, by as a much as an hour or more in either situation. Some kind of light level detection in camera definately sounds the way to go if it can be made to work well. Maybe as well as a time schedule, Dahua should offer a lumen setting so when the lumen hits a certain level, that's the trigger for the camera exposure profile switch rather than the fixed time. Feedback from Andy to Dahua?
Like I said over in the 4KT thread, it never stopped working for me. Unless this app should be doing something more then just going between day and night mode (and their associated settings for the two profiles), it's working perfectly for me.Whats the current position with the 4kT?

Then you will have the same issue with the Day/Night Utility or any other scenario that uses dusk and dawn times to make that switch. There is at least one person here that uses a light sensor and some kind of home automation set up to make the cams switch. Can't remember who. But a search of threads might find this.One thing I have found with set time switchovers is if you get a stormy dark day, it switches too late.
