    Home Security Systems

    I would disagree saying that monitoring isn't needed solely based on living in a low crime area. The crime still happens, just not as often. There still can still be spikes in burglaries or a burglary crew traveling thorough the area. I'd rather have it and not need it. Not to mention these...

    Home Security Systems

    If you're looking for something with self-monitoring without a monthly fee then your best bet is the Vista 20P with an Envisalink 4 module. The Envisalink 4 module is a 3rd party device that connects to the panel via the ECP bus and connects to your LAN via an ethernet cable. The module will...

    Which Router to buy in 2023? UPDATE went with OPNsense on a firewall box.

    I would still verify your hardware is not faulty. I've used pfsense on the UFS file system before and it did not become corrupt after a power failure. However, I do recommend switching over to the ZFS file system when you can.

    Which Router to buy in 2023? UPDATE went with OPNsense on a firewall box.

    That is NOT normal. I would be worried there is a hardware issue with the box you bought. I have multiple pfsense boxes installed using the ZFS file system and they've all abruptly lost power due to it being unplugged or an outage. I've never had one not boot up after a power fail. If I were...

    NVR or server solution for mostly axis

    Those are some pretty low resolution cameras. What are some of the model numbers of the cameras? Do you know how old they are? You're not really giving us a lot of information to work with. What are the intended purpose for the cameras? Will someone be watching the live stream constantly? Do...

    NVR or server solution for mostly axis

    I agree, you're probably better off using Axis camera station. With 75 cameras I would suggest using two or more servers to spread to it out. The cameras resolution, bitrate and FPS are important when deciding which hardware to purchase for the servers. Before making any purchases, I would...

    Video/image Quality

    Under base server profile set it back to streaming profile 0. In UI3 click on the gear icon on the bottom right. Select "2160P 4K" but make sure its not the one that says "2160p VBR V4". What is your bitrate set to for streaming profile 0?

    Video/image Quality

    Assuming you're using UI3, click on the 3 dots on the top right corner, click on streaming profiles. click on the 2160P (4k) options and make sure it's using the streaming profile that you increased the bitrate on. Also, make sure the user account you're logging into UI3 with is not restricted...

    yeah, you need to increase your bitrate. I have mine set to 8192

    Video/image Quality

    Are you viewing the cameras on the Blue Iris computer using the console or are you viewing them remotely using the BI app on a mobile device? If you're viewing them remotely, go to BI settings, Web server, click configure on encoder options and unchecked "resize output frame width x height"...

    365 days of saved video/ audio help

    Looks interesting.. Does it send notifications upon a storage error, camera offline or other issue? Part of the law requires notifications if there are any malfunctions with the system. If it can't do that it probably won't meet the requirement.

    365 days of saved video/ audio help

    Not a fan of Ubiquity system as most of it is proprietary. Although, I've heard you can login to the cameras and enable the RTSP stream so it'll work with 3rd party systems. Their cameras are also overpriced for what their capable of (expensive and have small image sensors). I wouldn't trust...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 Intermittent 'No Signal' in BI

    It's been pretty much two days since I enabled Decoder Compatibility and not a single drop out. I don't have a PTZ at the moment so I can't test the spotter camera issue you're having.

    Updating IP Subnet of Dahua NVR, Dahua Switch and Dahua Cameras

    You have 70 IP cameras in your business? I'm not recommending manually assigning static IP addresses at each device like workstations, printers etc. I would definitely want to assign DHCP reservations to those devices via the firewall. Ideally the IP cameras would be physically separated from...

    Updating IP Subnet of Dahua NVR, Dahua Switch and Dahua Cameras

    It depends on what router you have. If you plug a PC into the switch you can add the 172.16.100 subnet to your NIC so you can access devices on both subnets. I would switch them over one by one, then create the VLAN. Just make sure assign the static IP's outside of the DHCP range. You can also...

    Updating IP Subnet of Dahua NVR, Dahua Switch and Dahua Cameras

    I don't agree with this. Assigning DHCP reservations in the router just adds another point of failure. If your router fails or gets replaced it could cause your entire surveillance system to fail. I have my cameras on an isolated subnet with manually assigned static IP's. My entire LAN could go...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 Intermittent 'No Signal' in BI

    About 12 hours since I re-enabled Decoder Compatibility and not a single dropout since.

    Upgrading Alarm/Security System - Seeking Opinions

    Based on those pictures it does look like the zones are daisy chained at the panel. I don't see any resistors inside of the panel. So that means they either have the resistor at the last sensor, or they programmed the system not to look for a resistor (not sure if that panel is capable of that)...

    I disabled decoder compatibility mode last night and had several dropouts since then. I just re-enabled it so lets see if the dropout stop.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Yeah, they have an article on it- HTTP Request-as-an-Action - Digital Watchdog. And the parent company NX Witness (DW is rebranded from NX Witness) has an article and video on it. https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/222669328-Action-Do-HTTP-Request Maybe I'll try and post in the...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Actually Digital Watchdog is more powerful than Blue Iris and less quirky and more stable. The timeline playback is smoother and the mobile app is easy to use. It's built for enterprise/business so it's not catered to home use like Blue Iris is. DW has a whole API built for integration into 3rd...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    The email option works, I was just hoping I could get it configured where I could send it directly to pushover without having to use an email address and have a bunch of emails in my "sent" folder. Worse cause I will just use the DW app for push notifications. Only problem is I can't change the...

    No, only option is to do a HTTPs request. I attached a picture with all of the options.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    @jaydeel I'm attempting to setup pushover notifications using Digital Watchdog. DW has an option called Do HTTPs request and it can be activated upon an analytical event trigger. I've tried a number of combinations and I've also read Pushovers API page. I just can't seem to figure it out lol...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE-S zoom setting question.

    No, I only record on motion. I also have a second BI installation that is doing the same thing. That BI version is from around May of this year. My BI version is the current latest stable version.
