    Where have all the PTZ cameras gone?

    Holy crap this thing is huge. And heavy. Does anyone know what ceiling mount adapter works with this camera? It comes with the wall bracket, but I want to mount it to a wood soffit. The manual does not say anything about ceiling (soffit) mounting. I have a PFB301C and PFA111, but the camera...

    Where have all the PTZ cameras gone?

    Yeah, that's too bad. I just checked Andy's site again and one PTZ8X4M-42X-Laser 1/1.8” was available. It has been out of stock for weeks since I have been looking, so I pulled the trigger. It looks like it has everything I need except a built in mic, but I guess I can add a microseven mic it.

    Where have all the PTZ cameras gone?

    I'm looking for another ptz but can't find anything in stock or available anymore except 8mp with 1/1.8 sensors or 1/2.8 sensors on the empire tech site or Amazon. I'm really interested in the SD6AL433XA-HNR but they are nowhere to be found. Autotracking, Long Range IR, and high focal length...

    Temporarily suspend PTZ return to home possible?

    I emailed support right after you told me about the feature and discovered the android app didn't work with it. They emailed me back this afternoon and said this might get fixed in the upcoming app update. Fingers crossed.

    Temporarily suspend PTZ return to home possible?

    Yes, this is exactly what I needed, thanks. I tried it on the cpu and it works as expected, but the Blue Iris android app does not do anything when holding down the square. No box in the feed and no holding of the ptz in place. I wonder if this feature is not available in the app. Can someone...

    Temporarily suspend PTZ return to home possible?

    Looking through the manual, I found this for Http commands: /admin?camera=x&ptz=n PTZ command n on camera x (short name). n=0,1... for left,right,up,down,center,zoom+,zoom- I'm going to experiment with this command. If I can't find a way to directly disable return to home, perhaps I can...

    Temporarily suspend PTZ return to home possible?

    That's good to know. I would be interested in this as well for times there are a lot of people in our driveway. I'm worried there may not be a way to disable the return to home function, though. Since the function is built in to Blue Iris, I can't think of a way to quickly bypass it.

    Temporarily suspend PTZ return to home possible?

    I've got a SD49225XA-HNR with multiple presets set up in Blue Iris. I also have the Resume cycle/schedule after inactivity (sec): setting in PTZ set to 120 seconds. It works great and reliably returns the cam to home/preset 1 after 120 seconds of inactivity. However, we sometimes want to leave...

    Camera AI or SMD with Blue Iris AI?

    I've been using the built in AI of my cameras (mostly 5442) with alerts sent to Blue Iris via onvif, then had CPAI verify these and send pushover alerts for verified motion from people and vehicles. This has worked great for many years, but I would like to now be alerted to small animals such as...

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    These are cool cameras. I have 3 of them. But they do not have optical zoom, and at only 4mp, 10 feet will likely be too far for the digital zoom to read a small gauge like that.

    Good to know.

    HDD recommendation

    I bought it April 2021. Its making weird noises and is not recognized about 50% of the time after cpu reboots. Another reboot and it shows up, but I fear one of these times it won't.

    HDD recommendation

    These are ok for camera use 24/7? Price per TB is cheaper than WD purples. I may go this route to replace my failing 14tb purple.
