    I eagerly await the 4k on the 1/1.2 sensor!

    5442 end of life?

    That’s what I noticed as well, which made me less hopeful for continued improvement

    Dahua website says 5442 is EOL- any word on what they are replacing it with? https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/33357?us

    Riddle me this. What did I do?

    I use Google Remote Desktop. Took like 2 minutes to set up and works flawlessly, even from an iPad. Highly recommend and can’t believe it took me so long to do a Remote Desktop feature- so convenient.

    On a 1/1.8" Sensor, 2MP or 4MP

    I bet! Wonder why they’re so pricey- low demand because everyone is chasing pixels?

    Doorbell Camera / Blue Iris / Recording 24/7 Questions

    I have an Amcrest AD110 that has no subscription and records 24/7 to BI with normal video doorbell functionality through the Amcrest Smarthome app. The video quality is lacking as it’s 2MP on whatever crappy sensor, but the AD410 is 4mp and should function the same.

    Thank you Holy crap, those are more expensive than I thought they’d be…

    2MP 1/1.8 option

    Are there any camera options available in a 2MP 1/1.8 sensor size with IR? Wouldn’t those perform better in low light than the 5442 with 4MP at 1/1.8?

    On a 1/1.8" Sensor, 2MP or 4MP

    @aadje93 What camera model are you referring to, the 2MP 1/1.8? I love my 5442’s, however my property is pretty dark and I think a 2MP on the same size sensor might be a better choice.

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    I appreciate the response and somewhat understand, but your calculator operated for a long time without the time constraints. If services for the average homeowner are not what you are going after, then why impose the time limit at all? This is especially true since you don’t even offer a...

    5231- depth of field issue?

    Man I’m jealous!! That bullet is nice and would definitely be helpful. The 5231 was worth a shot at night, but just not fulfilling its purpose like it does during the day. Although the bullet would be way better…

    5231- depth of field issue?

    On the heels of this post, this camera works great for the daytime, still not so valuable at night with the distance and amount of light in terms of identifying subjects/vehicles (I have other cameras that do it better at night). I’ve thought about using the @bp2008 sunrise/sunset program to...

    Dahua settings

    Thank you for the info! Makes sense. Exposure comp seems to brighten the image quite a bit, but I’m not on default settings.

    Dahua settings

    Hi all, Three settings I'm having trouble finding the details on.. 1) Auto Iris- What exactly does this setting do? And using manual shutter/gain, should this be on or off? 2) Exposure comp- What exactly does this setting do? I understand that it brightens/darkens the image, however what are...

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    I would like to note that , around that time, Andy began his sale and many people were directed to your site, including myself, to do some research before making a purchase. Although I went to the site, it was of no benefit due to the timer and I essentially did not use it despite going to it...

    IPVM Releases Phone Version of Calculator

    That explains why I haven’t been able to use it recently. Unfortunately I barely have enough time to mess with the FoV in 1 minute, and certainly don’t use it anywhere near enough to justify a $200 subscription. I appreciate all the time you guys let us use it for free and you don’t owe me...

    Does BI have a visual audio timeline?

    Sorry, one track mind :smash: What’s that mean then- when viewing playback on multiple cameras you can select the audio stream you want from the timeline?

    Is this the update we’ve been waiting for!? Anyone know?

    Cant get IVS to trigger.

    Honestly, I stopped using IVS as well. It missed enough humans and vehicles to cause me pause, even with a bunch of trip wires and instruction boxes, and especially at night due to contrast issues. I’ve went back to BI motion and I’m pleased. I will admit, though, that I may change my tune...

    Does BI have a visual audio timeline?

    Sometimes I don’t consider (out of ignorance) how a “simple” request on my end could actually be a major, complicated undertaking for the person who actually has to make it happen. I appreciate your input, @bp2008, along with all the work you do on UI3. I won’t hold my breath on the visual...

    Does BI have a visual audio timeline?

    I emailed the developer (Ken) about that same thing late last year and think it would be a great feature, especially for gunshots or breaking glass that may not have accompanying video that would trigger. I’ve also found that, sometimes, the audio triggers can be unreliable for whatever reason...

    IPcamtalk should start including that feature in the store!! You can now order a door check

    5231- depth of field issue?

    That would definitely be ideal. But yes, the spouses... apparently our house is not allowed to look like some sort of "compound." Greatly appreciate you all's help and time, for sure.

    5231- depth of field issue?

    So it was much better and didn’t notice much motion blur. May bump to 15 or 16 ms and see how that goes tonight unless anyone else has suggestions. Obviously darker cars have less contrast so harder to see.

    5231- depth of field issue?

    Thanks everyone. Going to see how this goes overnight 14ms 50 gamma 35 nr And yes that post light is ours and on, along with 2 carriage lights on the front of the house about 30-40 ft away (other two at driveway and not helpful).

    5231- depth of field issue?

    8ms really didn’t give me any more brightness than 5ms did, and I really hesitate to bump it higher because of blur

    5231- depth of field issue?

    Not LPR, idea was to be able to better identify vehicles driving by and people on the sidewalk. Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Given the darkness I think I may need to move my identification goal back in the yard and closer to the camera.
