    ljw2k I'm less interested in buying, more interested in why you are selling.

    Do you have a PTZ autotracking camera, good or useless?

    Despite the received wisdom on here that PTZ, and PTZ's cameras with auto tracking aren't being recommended, nevertheless does any member include one of these auto-tracking PTZ cameras in their CCTV system and use one successfully, dare I say it recommend to others on here a camera with this...

    View Dahua camera's rtsp stream with Raspberry Pi omxplayer

    Sorry but no, my CCTV activities have been on hold for many many months, my new RV has occupied far more time than I ever expected, then we've had Covid-19. Currently I happy running 5 cameras feeding a Hikvision NVR and W10 BI. That said I'm now scoping out the installation of camera 6...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    Further progress, I've now got digital zoom working on my PTZ camera with the PTZ Enable box ticked in Camera Settings>PTZ/Control. BI is now on 5.2.7.1 Further good news, I tried Intel Hardware Acceleration and it's working, OK it's night time, CPU is 12%, previously it didn't work and CPU was...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    With the Clips I've just noticed digital zoom works in the normal way, but not on live camera views. Progress, thanks fenderman. I've got digital zoom back, for one fixed camera so far, more when I've changed other cameras' settings. For a specific camera, looking at Camera...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    No change, Not much to update with W10, just the mostly daily "software removal tool". I'm back on BI 6.2.61 x64 (4/29/20). Mouse looks to be ok, changed to a different mouse, and different USB port, no improvement. So if I zoom-in it's zoom into the centre only, with no ability to then move to...

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    So it does seem that I will have had this feature, ie digital zoom. I'll update and reboot both W10 and BI.

    How do I Zoom to a part of a camera's field of view?

    Not been on here for a while, BI has been working and what with other things etc. You'll understand. If I use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in, that's all I get, zooming into the center. Shouldn't I then be able move to the left or right, using the left mouse button depressed? Obviously I can...

    IP Camera With HDMI Output

    An interesting development, even better along with the HMDI output if it was also fully IP POE network capable (to connect to BI or NVR), and was waterproof enough to be used outside, it would make a good front door/ back door camera, allowing the placement of a small monitor by the door, or did...

    Elite Desk 800 power question

    On certain HP products there are things in the Bios like Remote Management Capability, AMT, Intel Management Engine (ME) and other software stuff. I accept the Wake on Lan, but saw too the possibility that even with your PC apparently powered down it is not switch off, as in the accepted meaning...

    Multiple hard disks

    Whilst I read in the Forum many contributor's giving advice that the db goes on the SSD, New on the Hard Drive, this is not what is written in the BI manual. My copy of the manual BI 5 Page 72 has, "Although New and Database should remain on your fastest storage possible because of frequent...

    Video Stutter

    Can you be 100% sure of the integrity of your network connections? You seem to be suggesting you aren't sure of the live feeds. I recently had an video issue caused by a powerlink connection, I'd been cleaning around the network switches and NVR and I must have knocked things. I suggest that you...

    Do you really need a NVR with a small deployment

    $349, are you getting a discount to promote them? Even my 8 camera Hik NVR was cheaper. You got money to burn?

    So what's your playback routine?

    In the mornings I review the triggered clips on the PC running Blue Iris. Mostly I see where the local tom cats transit our property, my aim to reduce false alarms, their aim to hunt and spray their "scent" on our vehicles. This aside, I can see if need to adjust the cameras' trigger...

    Intel Driver Availability

    I would like someone to confirm which current Intel Graphics Driver will deliver to me working QuickSync on Blue Iris for my HP Elite Desk 800 G3 i7-7700 (Kaby Lake), onboard HD Graphics 630. From what I read, Intel are switching from a more direct process of Driver updating using an .inf file...

    Rain causing triggering in Blue Iris, sounds familiar? What did you do?

    What settings have you used to prevent rain causing triggering in Blue Iris, whilst having settings sensitive enough to respond to significant events?

    Connect camera to NVR via powerline adapter?

    The powerline adapters I've seen don't have POE. It would be news to me if there were any, but it doesn't mean there aren't. POE is a niche market for those with CCTV. It's a matter of sales volume, would a manufacturer recoup their outlay? Only one camera, then use a power brick plugged into...

    Connect camera to NVR via powerline adapter?

    No you don't need a special type of powerline adapter but your cameras will need power, either POE from a suitable NVR, from a POE capable network switch or from a separate power supply connected to the mains. Sited remotely and closer to your camera(s) where you have the 2nd adapter, you have...

    Connect camera to NVR via powerline adapter?

    I use a TP-Link AV2000 based LAN, connecting my NVR and network switches in the loft to wherever in the house is the Blue Iris PC. I've two extra AV2000 units (already paired), for a future project using RPis with TVs display. Recently I had an issue with choppy audio and video, I must have...

    Choppy audio and video caused by plug in TP-Link mains LAN

    This problem was sorted, my post is for information should anyone else experience something similar. This morning both audio and video on my BI PC was choppy, audio sounded like a loose microphone lead, video choppy too. Cars passing the front of my house appeared freeze then to suddenly jump...

    Confused - Sort Of - VPN/Port Forwarding

    The OP mentioned port forwarding with a VPN. Instructions on GitHub about running openvpn on a raspberry pi have this, "You will need to have your router forward UDP port 1194 (or whatever custom port you may have chose in the installer)". Incidentally, I have an Asus router on DDWRT but it...

    Dahua DB11doorbell camera caught FedEx

    I wonder how many hard drives fail prematurely because of this sort of treating during the delivery process. I recently got a WD HD from Amazon, the packing inside was minimal.

    IGMP

    I've got 4 switches connected to my router-modem, looking in the router log I see many notices reporting IGMP traffic. I assume this is normal, a requirement to optimize network traffic within a CCTV installation. Will someone please confirm my assumption.

    DS-2DE4A425IW-DE are these still a highly rated PTZ for low light ?

    Be aware that zoomed out (wide angle) the focal length is 4.8mm, which seems normal for this type of camera, and probably appropriate considering where these cameras will be typically installed.

    DS-2DE4A425IW-DE are these still a highly rated PTZ for low light ?

    I have one of these 4MP cameras and I am very satisfied. I was particular taken by the Smart Tracking capability however, at night spread from car headlights will capture the camera's attention. It then comes to rest off-center. Currently I've turned this feature off though I might revisit the...
