    This triple lens camera could be an option as well, for some areas. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/teaser-info-and-mini-review-empiretech-b52ir-x3-triple-lens-camera.79654/

    Why I am finally upgrading cameras

    The mentality a lot of people have is they want to see everything, but when it comes time to use their capture as evidence, they lack the detail. It also doesn't help that most Box and Cloud systems will come with 2.8mm cameras and only exacerbate the problem. One camera cannot do it all...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    The latest version of spacer for the PFB203 has restored my ability to run full, upward mechanical tilt, and then adjust down to desired FOV with the tilt motor. I have a couple small tweaks I want to make to the model (nothing major) and then I will add the file to the original post. Now I...

    Any tricks to getting the IVS draw window Full Screen button to actually work? Using IE with no luck. Edge works without issue.

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Unfortunately I just installed Windows 11 and don't have IE on this PC. I typically remote in to my BI PC and load through IE on there, but was being lazy. The behavior in IE was similar, but with some jiggling of the handle by going back and forth between profiles, it switched to a forced B/W.

    I am not completely following what issues you are having. My Day/Night Switch is working, and not being controlled with an API. Auto, B/W, and Color is controlled on the Distant View settings. I mentioned this in my first post. Each channel is also independently controlled when it comes to...

    Is it possible to have two different UI3 streams?

    To remove a group, you remove all cameras from the group and then it will disappear. Sort of dumb and unintuitive, but that's how it works. I have groups for Outside, Front Yard, Back Yard, Deck/Patio, Front Door, General (All cameras, but not all cameras), etc. When reviewing clips in UI3...

    Is it possible to have two different UI3 streams?

    In Blue Iris. Right click a camera and enter Camera Settings. You create and add cameras to groups on the General tab. Click this button, add a group, and then that group will show in the UI3 drop down. After the group is created, you repeat the steps, but just select the group from the list...

    Is it possible to have two different UI3 streams?

    Yea, just pick a different group. The "group=XXXX" is just calling the group name. I currently have 2 instances of UI3 open in the same browser, both with different groups displayed.

    I just installed my A229 Pro I got over Black Friday. Man was it a pain in the ass pulling the plastics to get the cable ran for the rear camera.

    PSA: Physical Gift Card Fraud

    After my wife passed, I received a handful of gift cards. At some point, maybe 2 years later, I went to convert some of them to Amazon gift cards because it was just easier. In order to use them online, I had to register them. In the process of registering, I found that 2 of the 3 had severely...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    I was already working on a rev3 when I sent over rev2 to be printed because I knew there were oversights. I don't plan to proto-type rev3, but will just send it off to another friend, as the final version, to be printed in PETG. Rev3 will have a straight wall with a small fillet at the inside...

    Weather Camera - Suggestions?

    As @wittaj mentioned above, I use the Color4K-T180s. They are ok, but I suffer from light pollution in portions of the stitched FOVs. I could potentially dial it out, but when only one lens is affected, it makes it difficult. So I have had to make a lot of compromises. If I did it again, I would...

    Funny timing that this should come up in one of the Fat Electrician videos. It wasn't A&W though, it was Burger King.

    Camera Location by Garage

    Yea, that was my reason for running it back through the weather stripping. I didn't want to drill a hole for the cable or use a junction box. OP could always have a drop ran to the inside, near those locations, and then use a patch cable or surface mount the cable, if long enough.

    Camera Location by Garage

    T54IR-ZE, and it is set to the full 12mm. 40ft away. License plate is 65ft away. 16ft away, compared to the 3.6mm Color4K-X in the corner above it.

    Camera Location by Garage

    I installed mine under the garage door header. I didn't use a junction box, but cut a slit in the weather stripping to pass it into the garage and made the connection there.

    Camera Installation Location Feedback

    Realistically you cannot have both OBSERVE and ID from the same camera. Every camera has a job and many expect to see the entire yard and, at the same time, be able to read the time one someone's watch. One camera cannot do it all. You cannot see everything and still see details. Getting good...

    I picked up a PFB203 junction box to try and come up with a solution for mounting it to the fence that wasn't the PFA124. I wanted to have better use of the rotation in the arm to get it pointed where I wanted it. I have made some revisions to the spacer and sent the file over to my neighbor...
