    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    PTZ camera back up and running, the BV-Tech 30W powered it up. The Rosewill 40W did not. I'm wondering if its old firmware on the camera that's not negotiating power requirements properly, as the WifiTexas that powered it before force fed it (passive poe).. Software Version...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Didn't even last a year. Purchased this camera about a year ago, had to be rebooted about every month, until finally, I can no longer power it up. Have tried 4 POEs when initially testing, but only one would keep it powered up. So I'm hoping its just a matter of needing a better POE. Using...

    Which CPU for Blue Iris?

    Use both... get in there and start messing aroud. The Blue Iris Video format is just the file type on the hard drive. Also keep in mind, as mentioned in this thread that without re-encoding, your video will not have timestamps, but usually the camera itself can add these. I have all my...

    Which CPU for Blue Iris?

    For comparison, I'm running an i7-6700 (Dell Optiplex 3040), 11 Cameras (8x 3MP, 3x 4MP), Dahua and Hikvision, Direct to disk recording 24x7, Highest quality setting on the camera, as well as motion detection enabled. My CPU is at 15-20% (and this is with a remote viewer (webpage) always...

    rtsp stream dropping out

    Background: Blue Iris 4.4.9.4 11 IP Cameras, direct to disk recording, 15% CPU usage. System runs fine with these IP cams. I'm trying to add streams from a "Winbook Security D5008DH" DVR (This is a generic 8 analog input DVR box based on the Hi3520D chipset), it'll stream cameras via RTSP and...

    So I got mine on Tuesday afternoon. my Brocade POE switch will not power it (camera keeps rebooting), yet the switch says its a Class4 802.3at, then drops power. I did manage to find another POE I had kicking around, and that works. It's been raining, so havnt had a chance to put it outside...

    Looking for an Outdoor, POE, two-way audio camera compatible with Blue Iris

    I have a friend who has one of the "Ring" two-way audio camera things. If you don't want to record, there is no subscription fee, BUT, you cannot access the live stream without their silly app. So no way to tie into BlueIris or anything else. I suppose you could probably do something with a...

    IP Cameras - Outside - Home use - Looking for suggestions

    A friend of mine who went through quite a few camera vendors, and had a lot fail, or need to be rebooted frequently finally settled on Dahua and Hikvision, as they have been running consistently for a couple years. I have 4 Dahuas and 2 hikvisions outside for the past 6 months, and they are...

    Stopping camera from phoning home

    It all depends on how good you are at networking, and your setup. If you do a static reservation in DHCP, and are also able to give a non-working gateway, then that may work. Another option, which I'm planning is have a separate VLAN/network for the cameras, and make the NVR (or in my case...

    Looking for PTZ for roof with OVER 90 degrees tilt

    Yes, I also ordered that 25x 2MP Dahua starlight, not for straight up, but general roof viewing. Hopefully I get it in a week or two; hasnt left hong kong yet. Not quite sure where I'll mount it yet. For the pure sky view, instead of straight up, I'm thinking maybe under an eve, pointing as...

    guessing you are referring to the SD49225T-HN?

    Looking for PTZ for roof with OVER 90 degrees tilt

    Very good points. As I was typing that message, I started thinking about a straight up camera instead. Yes, fixed with auto-iris would make sense (or motorized iris in some fashion at least). Maybe one of the starlights would work (I've seen the reviews in your other thread). Still want a...

    Looking for PTZ for roof with OVER 90 degrees tilt

    I'd like to mount a camera on my roof, upside down, so I get a full view of the sky, BUT, I'd also like to be able to view the ground around my house. 90 degrees would get me to about the horizon, maybe an extra 10-20 degrees would let me see some of my yard (further out, I'm not expecting to...
