    Camera Placement Suggestions & Pole Design Ideas

    I have fixed cam's covering the area, this is to track people walking around the yard / driveway / side of the house (mostly kids). The tracking for this camera is pretty spot on. I use the same model at work and it does well. Sure multiple targets will not be tracked, but the fixed cameras will...

    Outdoor camera placement...

    Ah, well another options would be to get IR cameras, get an IR flood light (POE) and remove the motion light completely. This is mine in the back yard (without diffuser on it). The yard looks pitch black to me, but with the cameras, just like daytime.\\

    Camera Placement Suggestions & Pole Design Ideas

    Hey All, I have a Hikvision PTZ I am looking to place in my front yard to capture all activity in and around the front of the house (as it has motion detection and tracking). I am looking for suggestions on where to place the camera and ideas on how to place the pole and maybe make the pool look...

    Outdoor camera placement...

    You can put the camera in front of the light. The camera, if it has IR, will adjust and the image will be fine. I have one doing just that and no issues at all. I have no issues at all with this situation. The camera reacts almost instantly when the security light goes on from IR to normal...

    Sorry, I didn't do a lot of reading, just wanted to ask if something occurred recently preventing the webpage for remote viewing for BI and these tools? I am getting the login screen, but it is not taking my login information and it has lost all my saved login info and automatically login...

    Where do we get versions 1.1.2? It says on the first page "Please update to 1.1.2 after installation."

    Pixelation, Round Two

    You can adjust it however you like and work it up till you are at the highest you can go before the pixelating starts. I run 10, 3mp cams at 1080p and for the most part it is OK, except when there is activity on a few cameras at the same time and then it pixelates. It also pixeliates only during...

    Pixelation, Round Two

    Give them a go, but so far I haven't had much luck. I have been talking to Ken and he is aware of the issue and trying to resolve it; hopefully he will figure it out soon.

    New Dahua PTZ

    I think I am going to get one, a single 100W solar panel, a 12v battery a charge converter and an inverter and setup one up and see how it runs. I am hoping one battery will be able to run the unit overnight with the IR lights on. Well maybe I will use two, just that other than the camera the...

    I am not sure if it's been mentioned as suggestions for when you make changes. But on the clip playback and the fast forward and pause options you have (which are great BTW); if a progress bar or indicator could be added say at the top or bottom of the screen to kind of give you an idea of where...

    New Dahua PTZ

    Hmm, interesting. I haven't seen these units before. I wonder how well they do at managing the normal loss of wireless bandwidth when bridging. I'll have to read the tech specs and see if they have multiple channels and the ability to assign multiple SSID's. Though it probably wouldn't be a big...

    New Dahua PTZ

    I'd love to get one, but unfortunately I just purchased a couple of cameras for other locations and can't afford to get another. I got good coverage as it is now, but I might go for one in the future. I am thinking of mounting on on my shed in the backyard on a pole getting it high enough that I...

    Dahua IPC-HFW2300R-Z & Night Video Quality Help

    I'll give it a go. I did switch over to schedule times and set a day/night and normal profile. For some reason the camera was stuck in day mode, so no matter what I changed on the night, the image never improved. But I did a reset of the camera and now the profiles work. So the image quality is...

    New Dahua PTZ

    Nice, I have been looking to get a PZT and x4 optical would be pretty god for where I would put the camera (basically to scan the front of the house). So I don't need a 30x zoom, though I would LOVE to get one and then have it put up on the top of our radio tower at work (380ft), man that would...

    Found them, freaking awesome! I was just thinking about this yesterday how wonderful it would be to be able to forward this 46 minute clip and walla! Thanks! I am not sure what the CPU increase was, but it seems to have resolved itself. I jumped about 22% but it has leveled back to normal with...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Any idea why my CPU usage readout went up after I updating files? I don't see any reason why that should occur, but I thought I would ask :) Thanks for all the hard work. Oh, did you add the ability to fast forward clips? I didn't see anything when I brought them up (buttons or arrows et...

    Is this always the link to download the newest version with any updates you add and we just replace our existing files with these? I ask because I see you post updates now and then, but no specific update link so just wanted to make sure I knew where to find the updated version. For Blue Iris...

    Dahua IPC-HFW2300R-Z & Night Video Quality Help

    Anyone have any suggestions on how I can improve the video quality on the Dahua IPC-HFW2300R-Z camera? It is by far, the worst camera I have for night vision and possibly the best for daytime video. Here is the info on the unit I have: Here is an example of the video quality (make sure your...

    Ipc-hfw2100s-v2

    Might try contacting who you purchased it from. Having dealt with a lot of these cameras from purchasing on Ebay et cetera, a lot of modified by sellers. Sometimes hacked to get an English firmware on it, other times whole cameras with different model casings. Even Dahua, when I contacted them...

    Ipc-hfw2300r-z

    Trust me, I tried ending this whole spectacle with the POE injector, but someone has to keep at it. Not getting, that many wireless AP vendors user different versions of 192.x.x.x.x so a static IP would not be easier for the end user. Running the detection tool and having it find the camera on...

    Ipc-hfw2300r-z

    Nope, the tool only scans the subnet you're on. I wish you could specify, but it won't. It even says in the manual you must be on the same subnet. That's why I don't get that they don't set it with DHCP. If they want people to use the tool, then DHCP wouldn't impact setup as the unit could grab...
