    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    My only observations as feedback for Boateye, is maybe it would benefit from software image stabilisation to remove / minimise the boat sway & maybe progressive video instead of interlaced to reduce the issues with the railings producing a jagged, moire effect (I'm presuming it's interlacing...

    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    Not cheap but I can highly recommend Arceserve Shadow Protect for backups and transferring between PC's. It can make an exact mirror of your PC and do a hardware independent update, so you can change hardware components that are tied to Windows such as CPU or motherboard, and it won't blink...

    "Time out" Activation camera

    If you can't get web page access to activate it, then maybe there's an activation tool. There's one for Dahua cameras, unsure what brand you're using.

    Sorry I thought Mike was the owner of BI. My mistake.

    Blue Iris discount no longer available?

    It maybe something to do with Mike recently being forced to switch payment provider due to some alleged issues he was having with the old one.

    2nd Amendment thread

    Not quite 2nd amendment so hope you guys don't mind me posting this here, (it seemed to be the self defence thread), but justice was served in the UK the other day by a YT's professional bodyguard, albeit reasonable force style with a slap and kick (a full 1hr video which includes the earlier...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Is there a mic built in internally on this series and a speaker? One of the big issues I've found is the internal mic's can be poor and trying to find a cheap external weatherproof speaker is like hens teeth. This is one are Dahua could really improve on. The CCTV speakers tend to be very...

    A warning, K-Lite codec pack can install Infatica.

    That is new. It's seems obviously a commercial deal with Klite. I personally wouldn't want it installed. Web search results: https://blog.oudel.com/exploring-infatica-p2b-network-windows-11/ https://infatica.io Thnaks for bringing this to everyone's intention.

    A warning, K-Lite codec pack can install Infatica.

    Have you asked the authors why it installs this if it has legitimate uses? It maybe for their update service or some other reason eg usage data. I have Klite on my system and malwarebytes and it doesn't detect infactia on my system albeit my klite is an older version.

    IPC-HDW2439TP-AS-LED-S2 WDR? How?

    I've personally never found a shutter much slower than 1/250th ie 4ms combined with a gain of 50 of much use with full colour at night as it doesn't take much movement to induce blur. If you can manage 4ms, that's my recommendation as every step slower will increase the risk of blur. Your...

    Moving to new house. What are your latest recommendations for cameras, POE switches, etc?

    Or ask yourself if the tree area is critical. If you have another camera mounted low down that covers the approach from the tree, it may not be so vital to cover that small proportion anyway, Another approach maybe to mount the ptz low down on the corner of the house so it sees below it. People...

    Moving around storage and removing a drive - best way to move clips?

    I've had no issues with mine set to rebuild every night and it usually only takes a few seconds due to the frequent rebuilds minimising the chance of anything happening at that exact time.

    Camera recommendations for Europe

    For movement you want to be running a fast shutter anyway. A classic mistake is to obtain a "good"picture by boosting up gain and slowing shutter right down, only to get semi transparent nreognisable trailing ghosts when someone moves. The quality of your pic at night is always dictated by the...

    Nosey neighbor?

    You could point it down a little to re-assure if anyoine comes around from law enforcement you're not deliberately looking at his property. Looking at your screenshots, lowering it to exclude the roof of his house would cover more of the ground in front of yours whilsts till giving you a view of...
