    Yeah that didn't work. It's not getting the POE power.

    I'll try it, doesn't it need power?

    Ipc-hfw2300r-z

    It's a managed POE switch. I can't just set them to the same IP and have it transmit data over the switch. I have to figure out how to get it to pass that subnet when it's not configured for it. Probably have to create a new VLAN and assign it to two ports with that subnet. If only it was that...

    Ipc-hfw2300r-z

    I just picked up a Dahua IPC-HFW2300R-Z and was wondering if there is a way to reset the camera to DHCP without accessing the menus? my POE network is not on the subnet that the DAHUA camera is set to statically, I wish they would set them DHCP by default) so I have no way of accessing it. If...

    Yeah, that would be rather amusing, since these are all vandal resistant cameras so it would take a lot of effort to bash them in and if anchored properly pull down. I will see if I can look under the aluminum and see how they mounted the metal roof over the old roof, that's the real issue, I...

    Connector Name(s)

    I have some HIKVISION and DAHUA POE cameras and I need to get some of the things that you screw onto the connector where your Ethernet cable plugs into the cameras. What is that dohicky called so I can look them up online to purchase some more? When I ran my cables inside the house I forgot to...

    I thought about that, but I recall someone saying that eaves vibrate when there is wind and stuff, making them no so good a mounting place, plus they are easy to just tear down the camera. But it was one of my ideas. That was why I was hoping to see how LittleBrother did his, I might be able to...

    Well that's one of the problems. If I try to mount on the corners of the house, I'd have to get through 6-8 inches of Styrofoam and then into the concrete, not sure I can get screws or stuff longer than that that would be self tapping or able to place an anchor. I'll look up Tapcon and see what...

    I am getting ready to mount my cameras to the outside of my house and I was hoping for some ideas on how to accomplish this. Here is the scenario on what I am mounting to and what I would like to accomplish. A little bit of history on the house. I live in the desert, gets really hot here. In...

    Not using Analytics, no need as I am the only one that hits the website. But I don't have anything I can think of specific for the clips.

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

    How can we tell if you have posted updates? Just curious if updates are made to this view and how/when to get them. If updates, features or enhancements are made I'd like to get them since I am not an HTML person I take what's given and I really like the ui2.htm interface!

    Configuration Question Camera & BI

    I have set them all as the settings to reduce usage as best I can. Resolution is 1080P @ 30 FPS. Bit Rate is 4096 and yes, D2D is on all the cameras. Pretigger is set to 90. The receive buffer is set to 10.

    Increased up to 44%. This setup better be able to run 10 cameras at 1080p.

    Configuration Question Camera & BI

    @fenderman it's a 4790, 380W 80% Bronze PS, 8GB (2x4) Hyper-X Kingston memory. I run a 1TB Seagate drive as the boot drive. Another 2TB Seagate as the graveyard drive and as the primary data drive for the recordings a 3ware RAID controller with three; 4 TB's WD RED drives at RAID 5.

    Configuration Question Camera & BI

    So all of a sudden it's dropped itself down to 34% and seems to be rather stable at that usage. I was hoping it would be down in the 20's but I'll take it.

    Configuration Question Camera & BI

    That might be the case, if I hadn't replaced the MB (the 920 is a socket 1366, the 4790 is a socket 1150), memory (socket 1366 is triple channel ddr, 4790 is duel channel) and power supply.

    Configuration Question Camera & BI

    OK, I am now stumped and a little peeved. I just got done upgrading. I took out the old i7-920 2.66GHz (OC'd to 3GHz) which was giving me 73% utilization with the settings I had setup and put in the i7-4790 at 4GHz (not OC'd yet) and my utilization went up to 82%! It didn't even f'ing drop...

    Pixelation, Round Two

    Live view is up all the time. I just use the web enterface or the BI application to view motion events and that is where the issue is, in the recordings.

    Pixelation, Round Two

    And now that I think about it, the pixelization came back when I switched over to Direct-2-Disk to try and reduce the CPU utilization so that must be the cause. Well that plus the higher than average CPU utilization. Hopefully the system upgrade will reduce the utilization down a bit.

    Pixelation, Round Two

    I have already done all those steps and more. I am sitting at 73% CPU utilization according to BI and yes, it makes it pretty much useless if I was to try and identify someone.

    Here is an example of the pixelization I am encountering with all the cameras. Make nor model make a difference.

    Pixelation, Round Two

    Affirm. I am not worried about HD space. I have the recordings going to a RAID 6 with 8.4TB of space. The issue is pixelization on motion events. The images of the cameras are fine, but whenever someone or something moves and is recorded, that events motion is pixelated. I am trying to resolve...

    @fenderman I am not seeing where it specifically refers to noise reduction on the Dahua's. I did find it on the HIKVISIONS: Here is what I see on the Dahua, maybe it is under on the of auto settings? I did web searches but none of the posts I read actually showed it, they just talk about...

    Camera Image Quality - BI Setting, Camera or Other?

    The problem is, I have two of these Dahua IPC-HFW4300S, purchased from Amazon and different stores and one looks great and one looks horrible. The one that looks good does the proper frame rates and the image is clear. The one that looks horrible will only do 15FPS (according to BI) and the IR...
