    Do you have to backup all the settings or do they transfer over with the updates? @EMPIRETECANDY I purchased this from you July 2020 but shows a 2019 build. Do I need a different 2020 FW first; if yes could you please send to me.

    Please help, SD49425XB-HNR for Church streaming.

    When I first set things up, people were saying that the stream kept pausing on YouTube; so I dialed down the settings. Per your suggestion I changed to CBR and 1080P, not sure what Bit Rate I should use.

    Please help, SD49425XB-HNR for Church streaming.

    I am still a novice when it comes to this stuff, mostly plug n pray :wow: Xsplit is broadcasting at 1280 x 720 @30fps. Here are the camera settings, what would you recommend?

    Please help, SD49425XB-HNR for Church streaming.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Seems like a made an error. Looks like Andy had sent me a plug-in adapter with the camera and using that. The POE adapter was for a camera in my house.

    Please help, SD49425XB-HNR for Church streaming.

    Everyone has been of great help in the past and would like to pick your brain a little more. I’m back in town for a little while and trying to improve the system. In April of this year I installed a SD49425XB-HNR to stream my church’s services on YouTube. Originally I was using RTMP to stream...

    New Church Project - Need help with Hikvision NVRs

    I emailed Andy and confirmed that the Hikvision cameras can be added to the Dahua NVR via ONVIF protocol. Another cost factor for going BlueIris is the POE adapter. As this will be an install and forget, unless payback is needed, it seems that the NVR option would be the most logical solution...

    New Church Project - Need help with Hikvision NVRs

    Coming back to an old post. If I decided to dump the Hikvision NVRs but keep the cameras; could I use the Hikvision cameras on a Dahua NVR since I am familiar with that firmware. Also, how costly and time-consuming would it be going with a BlueIris system? I am not in town for very long and...

    Soil solarization landscaping. Clear vs Black plastic. I'm going Clear for this first attempt.

    Trying to find pics. Slight exaggeration, it started off with a ton of weeds but after Roundup, it looked like yours. I don’t want chemical on the end product because of the kids and pets but as a first step to kill the weeds, I didn’t mind. But yes, 100% seed. I actually found it less...

    Soil solarization landscaping. Clear vs Black plastic. I'm going Clear for this first attempt.

    I'm with @looney2ns on the Roundup. I purchased my home in 2011 and the lawn looked almost as good as yours. Not having funds to spare and being used to grunt work, I tackled the project myself. First I rented a tiller from HomeDepot, went about 6 inches and then watered the dirt for about a...

    New Church Project - Need help with Hikvision NVRs

    I spent some time digging through some old paperwork and found the ADT invoice for the camera install. Cant believe the church paid $12,000 for the system, cameras look cheap and the video stream even cheaper. Also found out that ADT has been charging $280 every quarter for a maintenance plan...

    New Church Project - Need help with Hikvision NVRs

    My church was happy with the work i did setting up a streaming camera that they now asked my for help with their security cameras. Several years ago when the church was under different leadership, they had security cameras installed. Don't know what company installed them and no one knows how...

    i was able to successfully stream with a 5442 and its onboard mic for several months while the church was going through construction. It helped that the auditorium had a good P.A. system that was easily picked up by the camera. When we moved back upstairs there was too much of an echo so had to...

    YouTube has changed; even if you stop the livestream, YouTube will start it again if it senses a feed. Two easy solutions: 1. On the camera change to h265 which isn’t supported by YouTube or 2. Create a second stream key on YouTube and switch to it when you want to stop the feed. Luckily Xsplit...

    This should be my final update on this subject. To start, a HUGE shout-out to @jmcu for all the help; he shared all his knowledge and I don't think that I would have finished on time without him. Greek Orthodox Easter is today and I have been able to successfully stream all the Holy Week...

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    If it wasn’t a vaulted ceiling with skylights, possibly. Then again, I probably would prefer a white ceiling then the black masking.

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    I'm away from home a lot and wanted to be able to keep an eye inside. The vaulted ceilings prevented mounting there; i am actually very happy with the point of view from the wall mount.

    Solar - Who's got it?

    That was the max I qualified for when they calculated the 110% of the previous year. As I don't qualify more more rebates, maybe when prices drop. I have seen some crappy installs where they ran the conduit between the panels exposed; even though mine are on the second floor roof, I made sure...

    Solar - Who's got it?

    I got a 7.8kw system installed in Feb '2020; total cost was just shy of $24k but after rebates and state credits, it cost me $6,400. I'm in Chicago, not the sunniest place but have seen big savings.

    @jmcu thanks for the info. I ordered a SD49425XB from Andy and i will start setup when i return to Chicago next week. How powerful of a computer will I need? Originally i was planing to to RSMP stream directly from the camera; I guess I will need a PC if I take sound from the audio equipment...

    What do you think of using the PTZ1A225-HNR-XA, I know it’s a 2MP but I like the design and how it could be sat on the ledge at the choir loft? The audio is now a problem, I didn’t know that PTZs didn’t have onboard mics. I was planning on streaming directly to YouTube from the camera without a...

    An update on my project; I am tagging @looney2ns @Wildcat_1 @bigredfish @EMPIRETECANDY since from other post they seem to have good knowledge of PTZ IPCs. Sorry for this long post but really need some advice. A church I support in Chicago that has a large elderly population has been going...

    Thanks!! I had already viewed this video and it was a great help. I had a friend remove one of the IPC-T5442T-ZE from my house and install it at the church. After a good 5 hours of desktop sharing, I was able to configure everything and even a couple of test feeds to YouTube. There is one...

    Connecting laptop to NVRs POE port.

    I’m still deployed abroad and hoping to head home for Thanksgiving. Trying to plan ahead on some tweaks to my security system. As several of my cameras are connected to the POE via an extender and using port 3777 on the NVR, I can not connect to them directly. I have read several posts regarding...

    Install Lorex camera on pre-wired junction box

    And electrical box is good to conceal the wires and protect them from the weather. He already has an electrical box recessed within the bricks, all that’s needed is to modify a cover to mount the camera. Mounting a new box on top of the other seems pointless and would take away from a very clean...

    Install Lorex camera on pre-wired junction box

    The adapter is well built and the pre-drilled holes are nice but for $20 each, I would try the $2 option first; especially if you already have them. Your cameras aren't heavy so there shouldn't be a problem For the big hole in the middle drill a small hole and use a step drill bit to open it...

    Spot what's wrong

    Isn’t the problem that it has a port # 3777 and not the physical port number from the POE? On my unit, I can’t access any camera that isn’t plugged directly into the POE and not through a external switch or extender.
