    Thanks for the suggestion. What particular model from Hikvision would you recommend?

    Need suggestion for front door

    I have the exact same camera as Tygunn on my front door. Only thing that sucks about it is it's a dome, and IR reflects off it. My porch is deep and covered so I'm able to run it with the dome off. I prefer this to going with porch light/IR off because I can see farther out. I just wish it had...

    weather cam recommendation

    So I'm thinking about getting a camera to mount on my roof as a weather camera. I currently have 8 (7 Dahua's and 1 Ubiquiti) cameras total so this would be the ninth camera on my blue iris system. I really love the low light performance of the 5231's as they look fantastic during twilight...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I just finished installing 5 5231's on my vinyl siding house. I have one mounted directly into my soffit and another wall mounted. The soffit where I mounted was particularly sturdy since it's a short piece that runs into brick. The install was solid and I'm not worried about it at all. For the...

    Opinions on Ubiquiti (Unifi) Cameras?

    Sadly, I experienced the NVR recording bug with latest code as of April. It only happened twice and after restarting the Unifi Video service it was resolved. Too bad the Android update didn't come sooner or I might still have my UVC-G3's. I even posted a question on the forums asking how close...

    Opinions on Ubiquiti (Unifi) Cameras?

    I installed 6 UVC-G3's at my home for about 3 weeks before returning them and going with Dahua starlights and BI. I really wanted to love the UVC-G3 because I really liked the NVR software and the phone app. Very low CPU utilization and easy to use. Unfortunately the software is pretty buggy and...

    SmartPSS 2.0.0.1 on Server 2016 troubles

    Is anyone out there running SmartPSS 2.0 w/PC-NVR on Server 2016? I can get it to install fine but it fails to start. When running the application it doesn't do anything. No errors, no event log clues, nothing. As a test I installed in on my Windows 10 workstation and it runs fine on that.

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

    Ugh.. I was afraid that was the answer.

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

    First, Thanks to @bp2008 for this amazing web UI upgrade. I'm currently tweaking BI for my use and the only thing I can't seem to figure out at this point is why I can only get about 5 fps in "all cameras" view. This happens on either the web UI or in Android app. In single camera view, I get...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    I finally got my hands on a couple Dahua camera's and I'm back to troubleshooting BI. I'm still seeing low fps in All Cameras view on both Android and in web browser. It looks to me to be around 5 fps. All cameras view in the BI console is fine and runs at 30 fps. Do you have any other...

    Recommendation for interior cam

    I decided against the IPC-A35 based on reading it had poor night vision. I wouldn't be able to make much use of it after its retired from baby monitoring duty. I've got some IPC-HDBW4231F-AS coming instead.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Good to hear. It sounds like it only takes a day or two from when it ships to reach its destination which is excellent. I lived in the Seattle area for a few years before moving to Denver. Hows the weather up there? :lol:

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Nice! When did you order? Just curious since I'm waiting on some as well. I'm in the Denver area and wondering how long shipping might take.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    That's good to hear. I'm really hoping BI runs good with these so I don't have to mess with anything else. I need it to run good on android though.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I've got some hdw5231r-z's coming in and I'm curious what most people are using for their NVR solution on here. I will be running all Dahua cameras but I'd like to run a server based solution with good Android app support instead of an appliance NVR. How does SmartPSS compare to BlueIris? I've...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    I did some additional troubleshooting. TinyCam Pro via RTSP has the same choppy video in multi camera view that blue iris does. I switched the cameras back into UniFi Video managed mode, and loaded up the UniFi Video App on android. Video is smooth as expected. The UniFi app is streaming video...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    No virus scans. I'm almost willing to chalk this up as some incompatibility between the uvc-g3 and blue iris. Ubiquiti doesn't seem to follow industry standards with these cameras. They probably just hacked rtsp support in there as an after thought to appease customer complaints. Googling and...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    Ping on the cameras is rock solid. I didn't have any issues like this with UniFi Video running on the same server. The UniFi Video android app also worked fine with all cameras view. Do you think these issues will be better with the Dahua cameras?

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    Its definitely better with the 20mb buffer. I'm not getting those long pauses but more like micro stuttering now. Still have low fps in all cameras view on android for some reason.

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    Running Server 2016 so that is set to never by default, but I double checked it anyway. I'm running a 4-disk ReFS Storage Spaces array for storage. OS and BI is installed on an 80GB SSD. BI Database and NVR storage is on the Storage Spaces array. They're slower 5200RPM SATA drives but I still...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    I decided to commit to BI and installed a licensed version on my server (Windows Server 2016). I'm still having trouble with frame rate in all cameras view on android. Also getting choppy recordings. My webserver streaming options are CBR 6000 kbps; gop 300, bframe 0. My server is running an...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    Thanks for the help, picture is sharp now that it's at the correct resolution but I'm still seeing low fps. I'm getting normal 30 fps in single camera view though. Another problem with all cameras view is its not scaling correctly on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 inch. Strange since the app itself scales...

    Low quality video in Adroid app All Cameras view

    I'm currently evaluating Blue Iris for my needs. The problem I'm having is low quality and low fps video in the All Cameras view in the Android app. I have 4 Ubiquiti UVC-G3 cameras configured on my Blue Iris server. The video looks normal on the server and in single camera view on the Android...

    IP cams with good client/server software?

    The current gen UVC-G3 have rtsp enabled as this is how I was testing out blue iris with the UVC-G3 I have now. I have been reading about the Dahua's and it sounds tempting to order one to try out. Video quality was better in the Unifi Video app then it was in Blue Iris but I admit I didn't...
