I tried downloading the demo version of BI last night to my main and accessing from my tv but something is wrong somewhere. The page just hangs and remains white with downloading the image. I'm guessing it's in the settings or maybe the firewall is interfering. Wondering if maybe I have...

It's a Samsung tv. You can only download thier approved apps and have to use their cut down browser. That said, I can view pages and watch YT etc. I can also successfully connect a pc as an input via HDMI, albeith running a cable might be a bit difficult from another room.

Not sure about the experience whn it comes to building a bI pc but hopefully have made some good choices. Some parts / reasons my surprise you but economics had an influence. Blue Iris PC.

Thanks for the replies. I will be using a BI PC as a NVR. My intention is either to use the monitor I have as a CTTV monitor (27") or alternatively I have a much larger 32" TV that's going unused in the romm where I may put the pc, locationas yet of undecided. So far as my maint tv is...

Ordered my pc parts today. Due mid Oct. If anyone's interested I'll do a build thread with a few photos, descritptions and reason why I chose what I did.

The problem is once you head donw this road, you find drivers who report people for every little genuine mistake and everyone makes mistakes..... We have this in the UK now with some police forces accepting dashcam footage. Whereas sometimes it might be justified, the problem is some people...

Someone else just asked this but it's lost buried in another thread and as I also need some answers here, I thought I'd re-ask. 1. Are there any reasons for using a monitor over a tv? 2. Does it affect the choice or make one choice more viable if you're leaving it turned off unless you get an...

I'm guessing there is. Get a camera that can run forced colour at night. No switch to IR should mean no filter switching. As for mechanical filters, it switches twice a day every day. That's 730 times a year. There's bound to be wear on a mechanical device such as this. Mechanical IR switches...

I want one Andy. Bet the price is similar to the hubble telescope launch though. Wonder is the US taxpayer will pay: How much did the Hubble space telescope cost? - How Much Guide after all I am a US ally.......:p:winktongue:

I think you're better off with bricks than a metal fence. Eitrher will be wrecked if hit and bricks are probably cheaper to replace as with a fence it may pull and extended length of fencing down.

No. Doorbell cameras use fisheye lenses that distort and image. They often use small sensors with poor quality pictures especially at night. You cannot zoom them in as they have a fixed wide fish eye lens. They are poor quality compared to a "proper" camera. Get a proper camera with a wide...

I suggested multirouter setups as that's what some people have posted diagrams of in the past. However, this post illustrates nicely the need for a clear sticky showing the correct or best way to assemble a CCTV network in conjunction with other items on the router such as non cctv pc's or...

What I was trying to ask is do you run deepstack on every camera if it bogs down on quadro 400 if using more than 6 cameras, or do you run it only on specific cameras eg 2 out of 6 to keep the processing demand low?

Only just noticed this bit. So do IPCT members just use Deepstack on a single point camera then and use just motion detection on the others? Also, from what I can see, if you want 4gb of memory the only option now is a Quadro P1000 which becomes expensive.

Yeah Andy needs to feed this back to Dahua as MS have now withdrawn IE and it will be disabled in Windows 11: https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/25/22550714/microsoft-windows-11-internet-explorer-disabled Chrome or Firefox seem to be better bets these days for a supported CCTV browser. Be good if...
