    Panoramic PTZ

    Auto Tracking Lite won't track vehicles, and I thought it might be because the camera might not be able to keep up with something moving that fast, but today I was playing around with the camera GUI and found the "Manual Track" button... I really like the form factor and daytime capabilities...

    Panoramic PTZ

    Well, I will say I went into this purchase with a lot more pessimism than usual. I want to give it a fair evaluation, and I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but I do have a fall-back location in mind for the camera if it just doesn't work out. I have a 9-year old Huisun 10X V1 PTZ that the IR...

    Panoramic PTZ

    I just wish I could afford to go with the big brother in this lineup... SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280

    Panoramic PTZ

    This is from an IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 mounted on the pole and zoomed to the full 32mm and aimed at the driveway directly across the cul-de-sac. The house is 350 ft from my camera, and the trash can is ~140 ft (43 m). Looking at the driveway itself, where the tree shadows start is real close to the...

    Panoramic PTZ

    My PTZ3E10X-T180 is out for delivery this morning. I went back and forth a few times before ordering it. Andy saying that it would track vehicles tipped the scales, and I ordered it last weekend. Even with its less than optimum specs, for my specific application, and at a price tag of $350...

    Panoramic PTZ

    I specifically asked Andy about whether the Auto tracking Light was human targets only and he assured me that it was capable of tracking vehicles. I hope he was correct, as I plan to use my PTZ3E10X-T180 to cover an entry road and cul-de-sac where 90% of the targets are going to be vehicles. I...

    Reset and Start Over with BlueIris

    Status Report: It's been 10 days since I did a clean install of Blue Iris. Other than a single "Receive buffer bottleneck", which seems like a fluke since it was on my 2MP license plate camera, I've seen none of the issues that have been plaguing me for months on the releases newer than...

    Reset and Start Over with BlueIris

    I took the plunge and uninstalled Blue Iris and wiped out the related directories and registry settings before installing the latest version. Fingers crossed, but so far it seems to have eliminated the issues I was seeing before when trying to upgrade to releases newer than 5.7.8.3. Below I’ll...

    Reset and Start Over with BlueIris

    I'm glad I ran across this thread. I've been relucantly mulling over the idea of doing a complete removal and reinstall of Blue Iris to see if it gets rid of the numerous issues I see any time I try to upgrade to a release higher than 5.7.8.3. Here are just a few of the weirdnesses I've seen...

    Question about Alert retention

    When it comes to alerts, I like having my alert images around for at least the last couple of months. What works for me is having a secondary alert folder named Alerts30Plus. For the Alerts folder I limit the clip age to 30 days, and set it to Move to folder Alerts30Plus. Originally I started...

    Disabling sub stream causes UI3 to show a cropped image of the camera.

    In case anyone runs across this issue, here is Ken's response... Alright thanks, I found the bug and that will be fixed for 5.9.9.7. It was a memorized frame size in the "all cameras" group. You can reset this today by going into layout edit mode (with "All cameras" selected), then do a mouse...

    Disabling sub stream causes UI3 to show a cropped image of the camera.

    I have. Ken is already looking at it.

    Disabling sub stream causes UI3 to show a cropped image of the camera.

    Here's some additional information/observations... The cropped image issue survives a system reboot. Manually triggering 6+ cameras via a right-click>"Trigger now" caused the "Receive buffer bottleneck" to occur on one of the cameras that had its sub stream disabled, so apparently only having...
