    Advanced Triggering

    Here is an example just happened to have on this computer as I emailed the county after their worker insisted she checked GPS of their vehicles and none violated the 6AM noise ordinance. (lassic brushoff) The motion detect area was along the top of the door/screen and not the upper part or that...

    Advanced Triggering

    I have a similar issue where restrict out the road and sidewalk. Works quite well during daytime. Night time is a whole different issue. Sensitivity is pulled back where noticed raccoons walking across driveway DID NOT trigger an event...just happened to see the movement live...and that is a...

    Which companies are Dahua-rebrands?

    Also important, note which popular consumer kits are NOT on the list. This includes Swann, Night Owl, and Reolink. Always thought LaView was, but not on the list so perhaps not.

    EmpireTecAndy fast DHL shipping!!

    Mine was the same super fast shipping... Initiated in Hong Kong 6/28/2017 @ 11:06 Delivered home in Orlando 6/29/2017 @ 12:22 Just noticed that DHL used Orlandos original (pre-Disney, now "Executive") airport, Herndon Field a mile from downtown bypassing the two much larger and busier airports...

    EmpireTecAndy fast DHL shipping!!

    I have to concur. Second order shipped today. Great communication as one ordered camera was out of stock and substituting with an in-stock 2.8 lens was not appropriate for the application so decided to wait for re-stock. Three days later got notice shipped. A lot of the quickness has to do with...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    A few points in reply to your post... 1) Be careful of EvilBay, China seller or otherwise is immaterial, and I say that as an EBay seller. You have no idea how many of my auctions have been cancelled or high bidder removed due to bidder fraud which Ebay is fairly good at catching. The same could...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    There has been a lot of discussion of field of view (FOV), in this case a 2.8 lens returning 101degree horizontal coverage, but as you throw numbers around...what does it really mean. Still photography has standardized it with a baseline measurement, while video (and surveillance cameras) may...

    Dedicated Blue Iris computer network setup

    Never thought of that since the computer motherboard only has 1 NIC. So would end up putting something like this, Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45-Newegg.com , in an available PCI-Express slot?

    Dedicated Blue Iris computer network setup

    Now that I googled Base X, it wouldn't be used. It is for fiber networks where Base T is for twisted pair cabling. So, is yellow the appropriate setup?

    Dedicated Blue Iris computer network setup

    Just ordered the Dahua 8 port PoE switch, PFS3110-8P-96, and a couple Starlight cameras from Andy. Should obtain the computer next week and be up and running. The question is...how to connect it to the network and have attached a schematic with proposed yellow path and pink path. Which is...

    Lorex LNB8005 compatible with Blue Iris

    I am in the middle of returning a Lorex to Lorex, but to better understand the compromises... The jury is still out on the 8MP 4K units, but reviewing the specs a couple of things stand out. Like most Lorex, they are Dahua rebrands so easy to cross compare stats. First, they are 4K only at 15...

    i5 vs i7; Windows 10 home vs pro

    Don't tempt me. Good to hear no hardware acceleration for Blue Iris. Let's see, upgrade my current i7 Skylake/Nvidia GTX that I use for video (4K processing and rendering) to an i9 and then use the spare parts to build a Blue Iris machine. No...no...step away from the checkbook!

    i5 vs i7; Windows 10 home vs pro

    Biggest question is if i5 processor (6th or 7th generation) sufficient with a mixture of up to eight 2MP and 4MP cameras, either fixed or zoom - but no PTZ (or plans for one). BI recommend 'minimum' requirements for more than one camera was and i7 processor...but of course, BI can handle up to...

    i5 vs i7; Windows 10 home vs pro

    While I can get cheaper with Core i5 processor, wondering if this will be sufficient. DELL Desktop PC OptiPlex 3050 (6Y9TM) Intel Core i5 7th Gen 7500 (3.40 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 630 Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit-Newegg.com Newegg and B&H Photo have the additional advantage of no...

    i5 vs i7; Windows 10 home vs pro

    ARGGGG! Reviewing the big player options only confirms why like to build own, and even with full W10-Pro license, about the same price if not cheaper. While I have control over parts cannot find a small form factor case around 3.5" wide while most/all are 7+" wide boxes. Even went to the big...

    i5 vs i7; Windows 10 home vs pro

    While I do have some time, haven't found the deals and when I do, they are 4th generation or older. Since I have enough spare parts, looking at doing a build as essentially all I need is CPU, MB and memory. Currently have 3 cases/PS, 256SSD for OS + Blue Iris, and 4TB WD Purple, monitor...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Those pre-wired coax rooms are probably for cable delivery to a TV. For security camera purposes they won't work (even with a BNG connector vs the RG6) as a it caries video only. For security cameras using the coax system there is a separate line that carries power. That is why if you look at...

    IR light - 5 model comparison

    Good point on splitting, but could be designed with managed overlap of each nodules aim. The most concentrated are 1 and 2. Now compare the exposure (tree leaves) of 1 and 2 vs the wider coverage 3 and 5. Unfortunately, a person wasn't standing there to show facial highlights, but look at what...

    Hikvision EZVIZ Mini Trooper

    Why a link you have to subscribe to? Looks like "Personal - End User" is $99/qtr. Interesting question though as considering an Arlo type system as supplemental to a real system for various reasons - but not worth $99/qtr.

    NVR noise

    I didn't want to hijack the lengthy thread on the NVR5216 series but based on the photos on that and other threads this Lorex NVR is very similar, and specification wise a twin to the NVR4208 8P with slightly tweaked software/firmware to reflect Lorex rather than Dahua. This has been part of my...

    IR light - 5 model comparison

    Another option for reaching elevated cameras is a painter's pole. (Makes painting the ceiling and eaves a lot easier too!) I actually have a 21 footer that built a platform for my camera for elevated views, triggered remotely with app. Now has paint splatter on as did double duty. Bugs??? I...

    How important is one megapixel to you?

    The problem is "all else were equal." They are not. Most cameras as the MP rise are relegated to the 1/3 sensor (with the exception of a higher end 3MP as noted earlier). The Starlights spread the 2MP on a larger 1/2.8 sensor or a premium model on a 1/1.7 sensor. That is where your biggest...

    Happy Birthday, EMPIRETECANDY.

    Happy Birthday Andy...and WOW, I can't believe my first order out for delivery to my home as I type this. Received at DSL Hong Kong yesterday and in the same day thanks to the International Date Line, departed Hong Kong at 17:47 clearing US Customs in Cincinnati at 11:08. Arrived in Orlando...

    POE switch recommendations...

    While I am also looking, you mentioned the usual...BV-Tech, Netgear, Cisco, etc. Missing is the Dahau which is a true 8 port, not 7+1. --9 Ports POE Switch - Wholesale products with online transaction Very decent price. Has anybody had experience with it? Can't tell from the photo but is it fan...

    What Cat cable, Cat ends and Crimping tool?

    Forgot...Pull rods. Look at Harbor Freight 3/16 in. x 33 Ft. Fiberglass Wire Running Kit Continually on "Sale" at $9.99.

    What Cat cable, Cat ends and Crimping tool?

    I just wired with CAT6 over weekend, and spent the prior week making patch cables to get use to it. Without high professional demand, I ordered this from Amazon Vastar Network Cable Repair Kit - Network Wire Punch Down Impact Tool, Dual-Modular Crimping Tool and J45 RJ11 RJ12 CAT5 CAT 6...

    Thougts on Lorex starter system?

    Just a quick edit note to above. As suspected Smart PSS works on the Lorex NVR. Major areas are the same but the layout is different. Had to laugh as had the windows browser marking on the right, not the equivalent mac red, yellow, green dots on the left. Within the menus, like 'events'...

    Thougts on Lorex starter system?

    Going through similar as in the 60 day window for return of a Lorex system 4MP LMB4163B and NVR4082 (ver similar to NVR4208 4K). Was on with tech support at least two hours yesterday resolving an NVR connection issue and while had control of my PC got the Fair Cloud set up. Today, doesn't look...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Thanks SergeyAU - I guess I didn't force it by tugging hard enough and definitely didn't take the PS case off...just removed the unit and couldn't see the fan model number due to the screening. Looking on Amazon, no reviews on that specific model but related model ending in VHD (same size with...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I took the power supply out and removed the 4 screws that appear to hold the fan in as I wanted to see the brand/markings to see if could be replaced. The fan looked like would slide out, but just wiggled. Later read on another forum that is dominated by installers who stated that the fan is...
