HEY, Y'ALL! Yes, It has been a while. I am still running the BI system that y'all helped me get running several years ago, mailbox cams, bird feeder cams etc.
Proud to say that the system that you guys helped me get setup all those years ago is still running, still dead-reliable save for a bad switch at one time. It's still running the mailbox and the bird feeder as well as a bunch of other Dahaus (all from Andy) around the house and shop.
Unfortunately, I've never devoted the time and effort to utilize things like AI, motion alerts/push etc. I really DO need to sort these things out someday.
Anyway, I recently got some more cams from Andy (two color4K-t180s;5442TZE;549M ALED) and the latest-greatest (of my stuff) from Andy's Amazon page, a PTZ5A4M-25 that I stuck up on the TV antenna mast.
As always, I have a ton of questions... but I'll start slow.
1. in Daqhua's Configtool, the "type" for the PTZ5A4M shows to be "SD" while all the other cams show as IPC. While it likely is of no import... is this a setting I need to 'fix'?
2. Is there a way to calibrate or correct the compass orientation of the coordinate display found here: settings/camera/encode/overlay/OSD info/PTZ coordinate?
The setting displays degrees of rotation on the image, which I like, but the coordinates are 'flipped'... meaning 270 is West and 90 is East... so far, great! But, it displays 180 to the North and of course, 360 or zero facing South.
Is there a way to correct this?
3. I'm going to need you guys to take through the process to set up AI and auto-tracking on this PTZ later, but for right now,tell me how to implement Pattern viewing?.
I now am running nineteen Dahua cams; a few are not yet permanently mounted in their intended places but fifteen are. The PC is running fine ; I upgraded the CPU to an i7-9700, 32GRAM and 18TB of Purple. Another 10TB purple awaits being added.
I'll add some pics in a bit.
