    Improving 5442T-ZE Images, primarily at night

    I had a prowler recently that hugged the far treeline of my property. Luckily the IVS still triggered but the image and video left room for improvement. I started a thread on that event here: Did this prowler see my camera? Based on the feedback in the above thread from @wittaj I am...

    Did this prowler see my camera?

    @Mike A. This was on my 5442T-ZE Vari-focal. I have it zoomed 100% so the distance to the target as he hugs the treeline is ~40 feet. I should have recorded my original settings because as soon as I saw this clip I started changing everything. I'm going to start with the guidance from...

    Where are you leaving the cameras connection?

    I have at least one camera that is going to be installed with one of Dahua's wall mounts: PFB203W | Dahua Technology Are you leaving you CAT5/6 to camera connection inside of the mount or pushing it back into the wall? I'm debating not drilling as large of a whole in one location and...

    Power/Cost Monitoring?

    The cost values posted don't have much relevance because we all have different electric costs. My BI PC, POE switch and 6 cameras is reading ~53 watts except for the occaisional spike during triggers up to ~70-75 watts for a second or two.

    Lost past alerts

    My BI PC locked up so I held the power button down until it shut off. When I powered on BI has lost all of the past alerts. I checked the HD and the video files were still on the HD in the NEW folder but I couldn't access through Blue Iris's alerts.

    I must have missed where this file is located. I feel silly asking but where is this pdf?

    NTP Time Synchronization & Legal

    @sebastiantombs OK I am all set. Here is what I did. Change gateway on Dual NIC to match the cameras, removing the 192.xxx address as you recommended. Changed cameras direction for time to the address of the Dual NIC. Bingo, all the cameras sync with time. Thank you!

    To sheild or not to sheild? (CAT Cable)

    How many of you selected shielded wire for your installations? I have a pretty typical installation I think but I will need to run many of my cables near some 120V power lines to get to different levels of the home. Does anybody install shielded connectors or is just the shielding on the wire...

    Tracking - is it camera based, BI based or both?

    This has been very helpful. Does BI have the capability to use multiple triggers from one camera to direct a PTZ or does each trigger have to be from a different camera?

    Camera Selection - AI vs Deepstack

    I'm laying out my camera needs for a new system at my house with BI. Is there a real benefit to spending the extra money on cameras with AI versus non-AI versions? Specifically I am looking at 4K models, mostly turret versions such as the following for example: Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW...
