    2025 Optical Zoom Autotracking PTZ Recommendations

    I've been searching the forum for recommendations on an optical zoom, autotracking PTZ. But, most of what I'm seeing is small sensor size or out of stock. My use-case is augmenting fixed cameras in an alley. I'd like to experiment with what's possible by on-device AI-driven zoom/tracking. My...

    MyCommerce/Digital River meltdown

    I'm happy to contest the transaction, but I'm not sure what basis I would have to do so. I can't say I didn't receive goods, that I was overcharged, etc. I think this is unfortunately a matter between DR and Ken. At the same time, I would very much like to support Ken as a small business owner...

    Advice: Move this camera or buy a new one?

    Thanks. In that case, on the other hand, If I were to replace this with a fixed length would I be looking for 6mm? 2.8 - 12mm varifocal camera. 12mm - 2.8mm = 9.2mm 33% zoom 2.8mm + (9.2mm * 0.33) = ~5.8mm Is that how the math works?

    Advice: Move this camera or buy a new one?

    Gotcha, thanks for the information - that's the type of stuff that's hard to keep up with when buying infrequently. So this would this 2.8mm s3 be a good option for the parking space? That is, a wide angle fixed focal length? I have no use-case to optical zoom in this location, so it seems like...

    Advice: Move this camera or buy a new one?

    I need to add another camera to help cover my neighbor's parking lot. My front porch has a EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE 4MP 1/1.8" and I'm considering moving it to the parking lot if there's anything better for the front porch. Current Location - Front Porch: I can run a porch light here for night...

    Lossless Export - best settings?

    Hi - I need to export a video to mp4 for further analysis. Are there any recommended settings to get the absolute best detail of every frame? It's a short clip (~3 seconds) and I basically want the full resolution images of each frame with absolutely no loss in fidelity from what was recorded...

    Have you switched from DeepStack to CodeProject.AI? Poll

    Is there any compelling reason to switch off of deepstack today? I tried CPAI and had a handful of minor issues and couldn't discern how it was any better so I reverted to DS. I'm sure eventually I'll have to switch, but is there any compelling reason to feature/performance wise today?

    Blue Iris UI3

    I use UI3 on mobile and I bookmark it to an icon on my home screen. Works great. One feature nest has is that I can do the same and deeplink to a specific camera. This way I can go straight to a given camera quickly from my home screen. Is there a URL scheme to deep link to a specific camera...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Is there a way to only make the UI3 noise/zoom for people without taking vehicles out of the AI settings? In other words, I want to keep vehicles in my timeline, but I only want UI to get my attention for people. I know this is possible with pushover and other alerts, but I'm specifically asking...

    Black Crush Color Issue

    I was tuning a camera this evening and I noticed that the feed directly on the camera looked much brighter (better) than the feed from UI3 or BI console. I searched around and it seems similar to some of the issues people have been talking about in regards to full/limited range, but I haven't...

    New cam, night performance tips

    IR might. I'll play with a few versions of the above. And it is a challenging light situation. It occurs to me now that maybe I should just pair these cams with visible motion lighting to grab a clean image. It's trivial to hang lights off this building as it's a garage and being in an alley no...

    New cam, night performance tips

    Here's the walk from @wittaj 's numbers. Unfortunately, a blob. 1/120 didn't make much of a difference. I'm always CBR 8192
