If you're talking about a PTZ camera, the line doesn't move with the pan/tilt/zoom movements. If you're talking about physically moving a camera from one location to another, then the line stays fixed on the screen and any object that crosses the line will have the same effect as the line crossing the object.

@@davido1588 im talking about a ptz camera, i tried it nd the line moves with the rotation of the camera

@@JordanARMIJOSIZURETA oh, maybe that's how it is with some value series models (non-smart-pro).

my to how you fix it?

Good one, but I I'm guessing that the PLA does a better job of that.

That's impossible to know without knowing how exactly you're trying to do it. Maybe you are using a web browser that is not compatible. If using a web browser you need to use internet explorer and you need to install the plug-in. I have other videos about that.

@@davido1588 ok, great. I'm not using web browser, the local DVRs interface...can you please share the link to the videos.

I think Hikvision made their iVMS-4200 and HikCentral Control Client software so it is not required to run as Admin anymore. However, last I knew, if you run it while you are logged in as Admin, then you will get the UAC prompt, but if you run it as a non-Admin, then there will not be a UAC prompt.

@@cctvprof fair enough. This current local service component tries to run on startup and has a UAC prompt, and denying it stops it being picked up by Edge/etc. I'll keep having a dig with permissions. Cheers

@@TC2_ Have you found any solution to this?

@@fkn91 sadly no, I just only run the program when I want to use the Web portal and restart afterwards, which really isn't ideal!

Those are "Powered by DarkFighter". They can work. You need to make sure you will have at least 60 pixels per foot on target. Those cameras should work up to about 95 ft. as far as pixels on target. The bullet would be better for night with stronger IR light.

@@cctvprof thanks heaps for the reply. I was mistaken, I have a 3MP 4mm turret currently. I will do a more accurate distance measurement but I think 95 ft will suffice quite well. Is there a difference between powered by Darkfighter and Darkfighter lens and is this what makes the price difference so large?

@@seancoleman3226 DarkFighter cameras have a better image sensor and lens that allows them to see with much less light. Those are only some of the differences. DarkFighter cameras exist in the 5 and 7 series of professional and DeepinView camera lines. They can have more video analytics, more impact resistance, a heater, stronger IR and better WDR. The actual Hikvision LPR camera that automatically recognizes license plates is a 2 MP DarkFighter bullet camera. It's a DeepinView camera and it detects the vehicle before reading the license plate, which makes it more accurate. The previous model just recognized text and it would pick up other text on vehicles and sometimes non-text objects that look like text to a camera. Here are the newer part numbers: DS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHS DS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHS8

@@cctvprof cheers

@@cctvprof i installed camera and it is much better than I had. Can read plates in daytime when passing and parked across the road. Distance about 80-90ft. But as night much different, can read the parked plate very well but moving vehicles really just getting blurred white. The entire image is not as clean as yours. Playing with settings, trying from 100 to 1000 exposure and various other settings. The digital noise reduction makes the general image a bit clearer but I am concerned it might be reducing effectiveness. Also when you refer to gain- is that the brightness setting? Thanks for your assistance.

Exact instructions depend one the device or software you are using. In general, go into settings/configuration, go the the live view/playback settings and turn off "rules".

@@cctvprof glad i found this. Thanx

You can read about it here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI Many Hikvision devices now fully work without a plugin in Chrome and Firefox.

When you are selecting the user or group, click "Add..." to add the domain user first. Then select the domain user and set the permissions. Let me know if that works.

The reason I used a custom protocol in this software was to force the main stream to be used as the sub stream as well. That is not necessary in the mobile apps. If you just add the camera to the app, it may give you all of its channels. Have you tried it?

@@cctvprof thank you for the reply! No I haven't purchased a camera yet - I have a client that wants a 360 cam separate from the NVR because it is monitored, and this cam needs privacy. I'm just trying to figure out if I can get 4 dewarped channels without an NVR

@@dougiefresh7475 I think it would work, but another solution is to create a new user account on the NVR for the monitoring, and you can limit the channels that user can access.

@@cctvprof yeah I considered that, I'll have to go take another look at their NVR. Thanks so much for the advice!
