    BlueIris is amazing! Why bother with NVR today?

    CPU i9-12900H Storage is 1x 1TB m.2 ssd that comes with and I can add 2x SSD 2.5. 4TB SSD is a bit expensive at about $200 but maybe some day I will add it if need arises. Based on my experience 1TB is plenty for motion recording

    BlueIris is amazing! Why bother with NVR today?

    I bought it to try it. There are plenty of options with mini PCs and you can add enough of storage as well. It has i9 cpu + 32 gb ram. Blue Iris runs excellent with AI for all cams. CPU usage is under 5%.

    BlueIris is amazing! Why bother with NVR today?

    Minisforum Nad9, I have 10 cams mostly 4k Hikvision & Dahua. With NVR I had 8 TB of space because motion recording wasn't great so I used continuous recording but with BI setup I found 1 TB is enough because all my cams are recording on motion and just 2 uses motion+continuous.

    BlueIris is amazing! Why bother with NVR today?

    I have been a hardcore user of the Hikvision NVR (7616ni-i2/16p model) for 7 years, and while it wasn't perfect, I stuck with it. Also around same time I had tried BI, but I wasn't impressed with the solution at that time for several reasons. Recently I finally reached a point where I grew...

    Same exact camera that I've been using for couple of years from Hikvision Value Series 4 MP Indoor/Outdoor 25× Network IR PTZ Camera They re released it again as another model, but not much changed...

    Stuttering clips on Blue Iris

    I don't use app, just web interface player (which is amazing) and I do have same choppy/stuttering recorded videos only. I posted this here Choppy playback in web interface UI3

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

    This is odd one. Why did Dahua rebrand 2 year old cam from Hikvision? Would have been nice for sure if they build their own one with better sensor

    Choppy playback in web interface UI3

    Yeah that's exactly the issue I have. It's manageable but I thought I misconfigured something. I generally review clips in web UI on my smartphone and it being new to BI it's a noticable issue. I have D2D, and matched iframes setup as well. I have 4k, 4MP and 5MP cams and they all experience...

    Choppy playback in web interface UI3

    Any suggestions how to resolve choppiness/fps drop appreciated! It's only occuring in the browser (chrome) playback of the recorded motion clip. Live stream or same clip on BI server is smooth. If I download clip it also works fine.

    Choppy playback in web interface UI3

    I've recently made a switch after using Hikvision NVR for many years to Blue Iris. (I wish I've done that sooner!) All new hardware with i9-12900H CPU 32GB Ram /1TB SSD (minisforum nad9) and performance been excellent with 9 cams (Mostly 4k Hikvision cams, a few 5MP). CPU usage is showing very...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I only bought one and it's been fine for 2 years, though I am glad I didn't buy more of them as there is no firmware updates it seems

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

    This is cheaper version of Hikvision one which I have been using for about 3 years. I would like to get another one but not sure if I should try Dahua or stick with Hikvision version. Did anyone compare? Better tracking, night image?

    DS-2DE4A425IW-DE vs DS-2DE4A425IWG-E ?

    Anyone has the new camera? Does it have good tracking and night image? Old one isn't great

    DS-2DE4A425IW-DE vs DS-2DE4A425IWG-E ?

    DS-2DE4A425IWG-E is a new one but specs are identical. They are listing it with smart tracking while old one doesn't list it. Is there any chance it might have improved sensor?

    DO NOT UPDATE DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Glad I read this. I am still running on last version of 5.6 and likely not updating ever now. It's been my favorite cam even with AT working half the time and night image isn't the best

    Hikvision DS-2DE4A320IW-DE PTZ --- a good deal?

    Can you share night video from this camera? I have DS-2DE4A425IW-DE with 4MP 1/2.5 and night image is not great but it's twice the price of this one

    SD5A425XA-HNR new camera, restarts when auto tracking event

    This is finally resolved. I was on the verge exchanging it until the seller recommended to go with 60watt hi Poe injector. I bought a random one to try out and no longer seeing this issue. This is very misleading as in the spec it says camera consumes 11watt (20w with IR) while none of 30watt...

    Injector is plugged in into a switch where all other camera are plugged in. Already tried different cables.

    SD5A425XA-HNR new camera, restarts when auto tracking event

    Update. Got the 30w injector as recommended above. Plugged in and issue occurred almost immediately as before. I performed reset and reconfigured as before. Also disconnected from Hikvision NVR entirely for a good measure. None of that helped. As mentioned before issue occurs regardless of time...

    SD5A425XA-HNR new camera, restarts when auto tracking event

    It doesn't look like camera uses that much power though anyway but I will try 30watt injector and reset it for a good measure and report.

    SD5A425XA-HNR new camera, restarts when auto tracking event

    Interesting, I assumed that 4 port Poe+ 65 watt switch with nothing plugged in will have enough power. Ordered this to try out. Thanks!

    SD5A425XA-HNR new camera, restarts when auto tracking event

    I have tried several cable variants and brand new Poe switch with just this camera plugged in. Didn't make a difference. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076HZFY3F The fact that it happens with or without IRs on doesn't seem like power is an issue. I haven't tried factory reset so might do that as...

    SD5A425XA-HNR new camera, restarts when auto tracking event

    I bought this camera recently and loving it especially auto tracking but it has one problem which I cannot seem to figure out why it's happening. Camera occasionally restarts when auto tracking event is happening. I thought it could be power related but I already tried the following: 1. 3...

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Unfortunately neither schedule or privacy mark will work. Schedule is random and camera follows any car tripped by wire on the street so if that car goes into driveway then it would also follow. It's a bummer I can't limit horizontal pan

    This is what I see in PTZ limit and none of the buttons do really anything. Couldn't find much online about this.

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    One other dumb question. Is there a way to limit travel of ptz during auto tracking? Camera likes to wonder to neighbor door when he arrives home and I don't want to spook him that I am watching. I see the is "ptz limit" but not sure how to use it
