    Video card suggestions

    Wittaj, thanks for the detailed response. my cpu never maxes out, ever and I've never had BI console unresponsive. I think the highest I've ever seen it was maybe 24% but it rarely gets to 12% when I'm noticing. I do have HA (Intel) turned on all of my cameras but turned it off on all...

    Video card suggestions

    Would like to know if buying a video card would improve my overall BI viewing and recording experience when it comes to days where all 15 cameras are picking up a lot of activity (windy days; lots of tree limb and shadow movement). Most of the cameras I have are ethernet connected and those...

    Need suggestions for cheap small cameras for owl house and squirrel house...

    I tried the Tapo C100 and returned it because I think (now) I really want something where I can interface directly with the camera's GUI instead of having to use an app, as with the Tapo cameras. This is what I was trying to get away with my older Ezviz cameras; needing an app to make changes is...

    Need suggestions for cheap small cameras for owl house and squirrel house...

    Thanks for that write up, but I've read/re-read it and trying to understand why it's necessary to set up a TAPO account as part of the process to get it working with Blue Iris?

    Need suggestions for cheap small cameras for owl house and squirrel house...

    I need to replace two of my EzViz CS-CV200 cameras in my owl house and squirrel shack. I do like them because they are small and have magnetic bottoms but you must use an Windows or android app to manage them. They're not ONVIF. I would like to replace them with similar small ONVIF compatible...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    When I use a browser window to login to the camera's GUI, it takes about 8 seconds for the login screen to even appear. When I enter my login info it takes anywhere from 10-15 seconds to see my initial screen. If I use the camera's gui to move to a preset or move the camera with the direction...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    ugggh. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. But, I guess I could get my laptop and connect directly with that and the power supply that came with the camera?

    No, it's under the eve of my house and this issue happens anytime, day or night.

    Yes, it tracks fine, immediately when something crosses a tripwire for example. When I use PTZ presets manually some of them may take 5 seconds, some of them 11+ seconds and it's not always the same presets.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Actually I just turned it on very recently, in the last few days, right after I had to set everything back up from scratch. So this issue has been going on for 6-9+ months and was progressively getting to the point where it became unavoidably noticeable. The other day, as a test, I turned off...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I actually bumped that up yesterday late afternoon to 12188 or something like that. Played with the camera for a bit but didn't see to make a difference in my case. Now this morning when I'm trying to login, my camera takes upward of a minute to get to the first screen after L & P which is a...

    No. I never have. It's my understanding you do one or the other but not both.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Update: I have reset the camera (using the button by the SD card) twice. I was unable to restore the last backup I made before the Factory Reset, it gave me an error. So I had to set the entire camera back up again from the very beginning including IVS and tracking. Initially, after setting up...
