    ITC431 versus ITC437

    I'm running one of Andy's ITC437 ANPR cams and before that ran the 237 version. Just curious if anyone is running Andy's 50mm version of the ITC431-RW1F-IRL8 and has an opinon if it is worth the upgrade over the 437? My 437 has generally worked fine but the mount on the ITC431 would work better...

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    The post was a link to a script a member wrote that brought up an interface where you can check (and uncheck) boxes that disable various things, like windows updates and file indexing, location services, etc. My CPU usage is good (less than 4 percent) but the problem I'm having is Windows 11...

    Utility for optimizing Blue Iris CPU usage

    Within the last couple of years I recall a post that had a link to a utility that would optimize PC settings in Windows 10 and 11 to reduce CPU usage. I actually used the utility and it worked well. I just reinstalled Windows 11 and want to use it again. I've scoured these forums and for the...

    Remote PC randomly goes offline in Chrome Remote Desktop

    Thanks for the response. The 10 port POE switch separately connects to a different port in the Century link router and isn't between the router and the 24 port switch. For our purposes, it goes Centurylink router via cat6 to the 24 port unmanaged switch, with the 24 port switch then being...

    Remote PC randomly goes offline in Chrome Remote Desktop

    Running into odd issue that I'm trying to narrow down. I have 1gb fiber that runs from the ONT to a Centurylink C4000XG modem/router. From the Centurylink router, two of the ports are connected by Cat6 to two unmanaged POE switches. One of the switches is a 10 port POE switch that powers 8...

    Tree sap on sensor

    I have three Dahua turret cams mounted on a tree. The cameras have performed well but on one there's a noticeable drip of tree sap that is obscuring the image. Before I head up the ladder, are there any particular cleaning agents that folks might recommend that would be effective in removing...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I went down this rabbit hole recently as I was looking for a junction box for the NCD800. On Ebay at least, this box is advertised as fitting the NCD800 and the dimensions you posted. In case this link isn't working correctly, the model number for the junction box is DS-1280ZJ-DM55. When you...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    Wow. That looks great. So what is shown in the photo fits over a Sigma junction box? If so, is there an opening for the conduit?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    I don't think think the TIOC is worth the price either, especially with that sensor and the fact that I don't intend to make use of the TIOC features. I have two FCD600s and one NDC800. The FCD600 has more than a 180 degree horizontal FOV, in my case about 10 feet more coverage on each side...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    The IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV is a TIOC version of the 4k-T180 with a less desirable 1/2.7 sensor but with an IR illuminator. Where the 4k-T180 has dual 3.6mm lenses, the TIOC version has two 2.8mm lenses. I would assume that the FOV in the TIOC version is slightly wider given the 2.8mm lenses, but...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I know there isn't an official junction box for this camera, but has anyone had luck using another readily available box for it? I want to mount on a utility pole and would like to have the connector on enclosed somehow.

    How long should POE switch last?

    Well, it turns out it wasn't the switch after all, but the cable. About 30 feet of the cable run is on the roof and after only 2 years, the cable showed significant wear on that part of the run. The jacket was split in sections but I didn't see any exposed wires, but the cable was nonetheless...

    How long should POE switch last?

    It's a remote computer so I won't know until a friend of mine stops by to check it out, but all of the cams on that switch are showing no signal on Blue Iris. I have another switch powering 10 cams on the network that are working fine. My Blue Iris computer is connected to the suspect switch and...

    How long should POE switch last?

    I'm been running a Netgear 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Switch (GS316PP) since Feb. 2021 that appears to have just gone bad. The switch is a fanless design and worked great up until it didn't and powered 14 POE cameras and one POE illuminator. It just under three years within the...
