    Widest IR coverage

    The few cameras I've used and looked up on reviews on had relatively narrow IR beams. Whats the widest IR beam on a 1/1.8 sensor? These will be installed on inside corners of a ~80 x ~100 building. If it matters, these three are what I'm considering. Nothing is set in stone if there are...

    New Lorex system at Costco - What do you guys think?

    I'm playing with one of these. Did you ever get a Dahua firmware that works? Did ONVIF alerts work for you? I'm having trouble with substream and ONVIF alerts.

    Error: 80002746 (Socket Error: 10054)

    Borrowed a Lorex E891AB (4k 1/1.8") camera out of curiosity. Bench tested it for a couple days inside and all is well. Moved to my driveway position and I get error "Error: 80002746 (Socket Error: 10054)" in Blue Iris. The wiring is the same wiring used by my Dahua, just unplugged and...

    UI3 only views substream

    I did compare settings. Screen shot of most tabs and compared side by side. I just now gave up and deleted, reinstalled the camera. All works now. I'd rather understand what was causing it but oh well.

    UI3 only views substream

    anyone? Surely I'm not the only one with this happening.

    UI3 only views substream

    Finally taking advantage of BlueIris substream arrangement. I have a camera setup for full time recording with alerts based on movement in 1/2 of the screen (my driveway). I have this camera cloned, not recording, but creating alerts based on ~1/3 of the screen (street out front). In the...

    Alerts list slow to populate.

    Running BI on Optiplex i5-4590, 8GB ram, Single 4TB WD purple. Hard drive setup to always leave ~400mb free. Steady state is roughly 15% CPU and 3gb/ram when not logged into UI3. Roughly 20-30% 4gb ram with 1-2 devices logged in and viewing. Running roughly 15mp of cameras recording full...

    These 2 Latest Lorex 4k Cams + Ubiquiti (UniFi) 4k Cam?

    Gotcha. For some reason I kept pulling up the 4 camera setup for $599. That 8 camera setup shows $799+tax for me, although I thought i saw it for $699 a while back. EDIT: What is bad about the NVR? At a minimum, you can shuck a 2TB HD and get a decent amount of cat 5.

    Should I upgrade my CPU?

    I'm also on an older i5 and wondering what it can handle. What changed between the initial problem of grossly overloading the processor and the current situation with sufficient viewing and 50% processor?

    UI3 multiple camera playback

    This is unfortunate. Would love to see this added. I have a couple areas were one camera flows into another. Reviewing both at the same time would be "ergonomic".

    Outdoor 50' driveway low light camera

    My current benchmark for improvement is to read logo's on commercial vehicles.

    Outdoor 50' driveway low light camera

    I'm using IPC-HDW2231R-ZS. I'm adding a couple cameras and for a little more would love to up resolution if low light stays the same or better. Since you have both, how would you compare the 5231 to the 5442 full color? Does your 5442 not do B&W at all?
