    Blue Iris AI Status window always empty

    I'm trying to figure out why the AI Status window is always empty, even though AI is running and working properly aside from this. The only thing I can think of would be a permissions issue since BI is running as a service. Has anyone else run into this?

    Advice needed: 5442 vs everything else

    Which model numbers are for 8MP + 1/1.2" ColorVu/Full Colour Cameras? Thanks for the amcrest mention. I'm just going to buy a few of these and compare for a few days during the return window

    Advice needed: 5442 vs everything else

    Assuming the area I'm interested in using a less-expensive camera does not have much ambient light at night, would there be any lower end cam that anyone here would suggest aside from IPC-T2231T-ZS-S2? This is the 1/3" sensor 2MP for $125. The irony is at first glance I didn't notice "bye"...

    Advice needed: 5442 vs everything else

    I'm sure by the time another year passes I'll have 8-10 cams online, if not more. The biggest pain so far as been running cable and dealing with the plaster walls in this old house!

    Was this a typo? Assuming so.

    Advice needed: 5442 vs everything else

    I'm at what seems like the same spot in my CCTV journey as OP, so I'll add my couple questions: 1. What would be considered if the goal were to spend less per camera than the $160 for T5442 fixed lens or $190 for the T5442 varifocal? I'm trying to understand what I would be losing by taking a...

    Dahua model number letters

    I was just looking for the same chart, to see if there were newer versions or if what's been posted here has been superseded. Seems like they are still the same https://dahuawiki.com/Template:NameConvention#IP_Camera_Name_Convention https://dahuawiki.com/images/8/82/NamingConventionIPC.jpg

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS latest new firmware IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.20.R.200903

    I'm trying to get my head wrapped around some of the subtle differences between a few cameras. Are there any significant differences between IPC-T5442TM-AS (2.8mm, 3.6mm, or 6mm fixed, $155) and IPC-T5442T-ZE (2.7mm to 12mm varifocal, $190) other one is a varifocal and the other isn't? Are...

    Getting Started - Camera Selection

    I'm getting started with camera selection and would love to get a few questions answered first. I've read and learned quite a bit from the IP Cam Talk Cliff Notes and various posts, which are mostly a few years old. I believe the primary takeaways thus far have been around (1) mapping the DORI...
