    Good IP Cameras That Don't Need IR Lights

    Pretty much what @bigredfish said. If one is getting usuable video captures and no motion blurring with straight out-of-the box settings, then that manufacturer has to limiting shutter speed to a sane amount. I've yet to see ANY manufacturer do this with default settings. They know they will...

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    Turning on ROI on my 5A4M with H.264 compression, max res, 15fps, and 15 iframe my bandwidth tops out at ~15Mbps even though CBR is still set for 11776. If I turn off ROI, then bit rate falls back down to ~11Mbps which is the maximum setting for the CBR with these settings. I don't understand...

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    If you up the frame rate to 30 with an iframe of 30, using H.264 with the max resolution it enables the option to up the bitrate to ~16Mbps. Maybe worth a try. I've also never messed with the Smooth/Clear slider so I'm not sure what exactly that does.

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    I do see the difference on the water ripples you are talking about. It may because you have it zoomed in so close the difference in water rippling is apparent. I don't know if I've ever seen a water shot that zoomed in. Have you tried a different compression? H.265 vs H.264?

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    The reviews for this thing went from "its great" to "it sucks" in a hurry. Does the OP @steve9380 not run LPR at night or something?

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    Ah, this is the problem. You are trying to run color at night with low light. You need either a larger sensor or more light. No amount of bitrate will make up for either of these two things. You are powering the camera via PoE I assume. They make PoE IR emitters. You would have to run the...

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    Noise at night could be too much gain, or too little 3D filtering, or too quick of an exposure, or all the above. We would need to see video or the very least still pictures and then screen shots of all your settings to give recommendation that isn't more than guessing. Or it could be what you...

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    What compression are you using? H.264 at a constant ~12mbps for a 4MP cam is pretty darn high. Can you post an image or video of the artifacts you are seeing?

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    I don't use ROI so I can't help with that. I just set the bit rate in the Encode section. Here are my current settings for that cam. Everything looks great with these.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Did you ever get a chance to push this fix?

    Error: 8000007a (Check Port/User/Password)" error message Dahua Cams Only! Annke and Reolink are OK. The only change was BI update to version 5.9.9.43

    Find/inspect doesn’t work either for these cams?

    IPC-Color4K-T 4K

    I use Sunwait to do it. It adjusts for sunset/sunrise based on location. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/program-for-flipping-cameras-to-day-night-on-linux.48196/

    IPC-Color4K-T 4K

    I don't think the 4K-T can switch profiles without setting up a time plan schedule/setting or sending a command to do it via the API (what I do). As @bigredfish says, this camera doesn't emit IR and can't see it either. So using it in black and white is of little help. The only reason I need...
