    Which model am I looking for and were's the best place to buy

    Model #'s for Dahua cam are totally confusing. So are features per cam. There seems to be a lot of dis info out there even Andy's listings on Amazon don't even list the cams as Dahua so I don't know what the heck they are. Mu requirements are - Turret cam US model with English firmware...

    PFBlocker for PFSense

    Keeps the Chinese from trying to hack into Blue Iris. I've had zero attempts from China since I installed it. All my cams are on an internal subnet and not accessible from the Internet. Hopefully I am safe.

    The problem with bullets

    I see spiders on mine all the time but never had one build a web over it. It's a cheap Chinese knockoff of a Grandstream, maybe that's why.

    Does the video controller make a difference?

    Bumped the frame rate up to 30fps on the Driveway cam and set the HW acc to Intel and it made a big difference. Most of the herky jerky motion is gone now.

    Does the video controller make a difference?

    Looks like it dropped about 5%. Can't see any real world difference tho. Gonna play around with frame rates and see how much I can squeeze out of the system.

    Does the video controller make a difference?

    Thanks all. I went ahead and installed the Intel HD 4600 drivers for the builtin video. Strangely enough, the only place I could find them was on Dell's website. Neither Supermicro nor Intel had the server drivers for some strange reason.

    Does the video controller make a difference?

    I assumed the MB used crappy Matrox G200eW videos like most Supermicro server boards. Thanks for prompting me to actually look. Now I know it uses an Intel chip. LOL

    Does the video controller make a difference?

    The question is - Will I see an increase in performance if a Install a more powerful video card. Keeping in mind that I never view videos on the server, only on remote workstations.

    Does the video controller make a difference?

    Pardon my ignorance. I'm running BI on a server using it's builtin crap video (Microsoft Basic Video Adaptor). All my viewing is done remotely using the web UI. The sever is rarely accessed and never to view the cams. I assumed that the server video was irrelevant. Could I be wrong...

    Networking best practices?

    I'm using the 2 NIC approach. All the cams are on a separate subnet not connected to the Internet. Easy to setup and since the motherboard Blueiris is running on has 2 onboard NIC's there was no additional expense.

    Cam pointed at the setting sun ?

    Thanks all. I was going to replace it with a dome. Didn't think about UV eating the plastic. Will be going with a bullet cam. Most likely a startlight cam. Now off to do my homework. Thanks again.

    Cam pointed at the setting sun ?

    For a couple hours or so a day I can stand the smog. I just don't want to get a cam that will be permanently damaged by exposure to direct sunlight. Has anyone ever seen this happen?

    Cam pointed at the setting sun ?

    Looking to replace mt driveway cam which is about 8 years old with a newer better more full featured model. Several I've looked at say "Don not expose to direct sunlight". My present has absolutely no problem with this. Every evening when the sun is setting the picture gets quite hazy and motion...

    Quick and Dirty Comparison of: HDW4431C-A V2 HDW4433C-A HDW4631C-A HFW4431R-Z HFW5231R-Z HDW5231R-Z

    What exactly is "Starlight"? Reason I ask is because some websites list a camera as having Starlight and some don't mention Starlight at all. same exact model in both cases. TIA

    a great cheap IMX291 3MP camera

    Just saying there are exceptions. A few months back I bought a half a dozen POE dome cams for 30 bucks each. So far they have been flawless and serve my needs nicely. The worst cams I've ever used were Foscams and it's wannbes like Hootoo, etc. One day, when I win the lottery, I'll move up town...

    a great cheap IMX291 3MP camera

    My oldest cam is cheap, no name Chinese crap. Almost 7 years old and the only problems have been spiders, wasps and other assorted critters being attracted to the ir. It's an outdoor bullet cam that's mounted under the eve of the house and pointed down the driveway. I need to replace it cause...

    FPS vs BitRate / Camera settings vs Blue IRIS settings

    Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I have the same problem. CPU = 17% MEM = 18% DISK = 28% FPS = 7% All cams and server are connected to a GigaBit Cisco POE switch. Entire system is trouble free except for the motion issue. FPS is set to 30 in both Blue Iris and in the cams. Motion is...

    Basic BI question about length of recording

    Cam stops recording too soon after motion detect. I'd like to lengthen the time it records after it starts. I think I've found the setting in BI but it's grayed out and not. It's under "Copy / Paste to all" So how can I make the cam record for longer than 5 seconds? TIA

    Who is this that keeps trying to connect to Blue iris ???

    Thanks. UPnP is disabled in the router and all the cams. All cams are on a different subnet that doesn't have access to the web. I need to access BI from the Internet or else I'd lock the server down.
