    NTP Server Best Practice?

    That did it. Thank you. I had to open up the port on my BI machine as per these instructions. I also had to press "Update Now" in Network time. My cams had the wrong time and I couldn't tell if the firewall rule was or wasn't working. Turns out Network Time had the time wrong since the first...

    NTP Server Best Practice?

    I have my Dahua cameras VLAN'd so they cant access the internet. But of course, without being able to access the internet NTP servers, the time tends to drift. I could open the ports so they can reach the internet NTP servers. Or perhaps set up an NTP server on the host BlueIris machine (which...

    Higher Resolution vs Higher MM Lens - At what point would you recommend one over the other?

    I may be wrong, but I feel like bitrate/compression is playing a greater part in the differences in that picture. Or the optical zoom in MM is vastly more than the benefits that higher megapixels (2 to 4) give. For example, the zoom in MM is more than double. I am not disagreeing with you that...

    Higher Resolution vs Higher MM Lens - At what point would you recommend one over the other?

    Yep, of course. I know "Enhance! Enhance!" doesn't work, you cant add any more data than has already been captured. However, you can capture twice as much data from 4MP to 8MP (during the day, and obviously there are other variables too). I guess the argument I am going for is 4MP optically...

    Higher Resolution vs Higher MM Lens - At what point would you recommend one over the other?

    This is a little bit about the theory, but to view a distant object clearer, you can either go higher resolution (to a point), or better optical zoom. At what point does one become better than the other? I have a target at around 18 metres away. I have a 4MP varifocal that can do 12mm optical...

    Suggestions for Far AND Wide Camera Setup

    Thank you for your reply. Its original intention of the existing camera was to just watch my side of the fence line and let me know if anyone hops the fence. But there was so much good drama OVER the fence that I now want to watch it. Got the cops wanting my footage from that camera on two...

    Suggestions for Far AND Wide Camera Setup

    So I have a location where a bit of drama has been happening over a fence facing a footpath and road. Armed robber running away from a crime, burglar hopping a neighbours fence, car crashes etc.. The existing camera has caught these on the very edge of its vision, but since its IR isn't pointing...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The UK did too. Its not all about American politics.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Again, context matters. Disclaimer: As an Australian I don't have a horse in either side of this American race. I have no passion for one side or the other. But I see things from the outside in, so I believe I can see things a bit more as they are without getting emotionally involved. I don't...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Context matters: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Joins Environmental Activists in Protest at Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Office Pelosi welcomes activists when done the right way. Its part of democracy. One was AOC with some people with protest signs in 2018. The other was swarming the Capital...

    Can anyone ID this vehicle's make and model?

    Looking at some Google pictures it definitely looks like a Ford Freestyle. Features match up perfectly. Good spot @coney27

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    This is pretty much what happened to my state in Australia (the "locked in a basement" and "not being able to socialize" part). We had one of the harshest lockdowns in the world. First one was 50-ish days, the second was 111 days. Could only go to work if you were an essential worker...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    My state of Victoria forced a mask mandate. Basically unless you are running/riding, you need a mask when you are out in public. Whether that's walking in a park or at the grocery store. Has to be a proper fitted mask too, not just a cloth or something. If the police catch you without a mask...
