    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I literally just clicked the "enable dynamic mask" button on each camera. Try a different version of AI Tool, perhaps your version has a bug. Pre-recording should stop you missing any footage, but I recommend recording 24x7 continuous and have AI Tool flag footage for you. I don't recall having...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I have like a $10 GTX 745 and it's 3-5 times faster for me. Check task manager to make sure it's actually using the GPU. Should also note, when I was using the CPU I was having Bi reduce to 1080p, now I just leave them native 4k, as I like the high quality snapshots (I have AI Tool archive and...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    A lot of blurr on that car though, hopefully a shorter shutter speed will help. Certainly clear and good detail, shows the benefit of 4K

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Camera Placement is key and within AI Tool mask our the areas you don't want (Cameras -> Draw Mask -> Custom (highlight the areas to ignore) Really need a sample pic, but I am assuming you don't want to detect people on the other side of the door and you can't move the camera and masking can't...

    Best night cam special use case - No illum/No Ident

    I have started testing the Annke NC400 and yes it is most certainly a Hikvision Clone, the Camera operations and menus are identical to Hikvision. Initial thoughts; Delivery to AU was very quick from local stock (ie: shipped locally not from the US where I ordered it) Low light performance is...

    Can you PoE Power a 12v IR Lamp?

    Sorry if my post came across too literally. Of course sensors need light to work, I was attempting to point out the recent massive jump in sensor performance, suggesting perhaps OP may consider saving some cash and considering some newer cameras towards the end of the year to compliment his...

    Can you PoE Power a 12v IR Lamp?

    While a valid strategy, sensor development has come a long way. The latest colorvu series from Hikvision really require next to no light. Duhua and others are expecting to release similar products. External or lights are great but are not a fix for everything. ie: they don’t automatically...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Need to see your Alerts TAB but basically; In BI -> Camera -> Alerts, you need to ensure the following; In "Fire when": select "This camera is triggered" You also need to select "Also re-triggers" (especially if you create JPEGS's on motion events) Select: "Extern" in Trigger sources and zones...

    Cameras disconnecting after a few days

    PoE cameras require high-quality cabling, poor termination can cause cameras to go off-line. The wire fault can even be with 1 working camera causing the others to go off-line. I get swapping cabling isn't easy, so another approach is to test via a PoE switch to drive the cameras. I stick a...

    DAHUA IP PRO-AI 8MPX: any way to reduce the ghosting behind moving objects?

    Did you try CBR instead of VBR? Turn all noise reduction down for testing.

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Make sure you are not using the BI Alerts Folder. Recommend setting up a new folder dedicated to store alerts for AI Tools (Blue Iris -> Clips and Archiving" ) then for the Camera select this folder in the Camera -> Record under JPEG Snapshots. Do you have any examples of a before and after...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Create a camera called "default" and disable AI detection (assuming you don't want AI for unspecified cameras. This will overcome the default not found error, but unsure what is causing the other messages. Too many images in your folder? \ AV locking the images? \ Deepstack issue? I run...

    Dahua best cam 2021? (Now 2023!)

    I agree too many people are fascinated with 4K and Wide Angle, but I would also argue that the above table is way too out dated, and should be updated for 4MP and 8MP. 4K just has so much more detail but yes to focus on the foreground and background you have to sacrifice quality there is just no...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    Before going down the IR path, may be better to put your money in a replacement cam. I purchased a cheap cam for $110 delivered and have started testing. NC400 – 4MP ACE True Full Color Night Vision PoE Bullet IP Security Camera (0.001 Lux) Like the Dahua it's still 4MPbut initial testing in low...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    Bump. I am interested in a reply to this one. My gut believes this looks like insufficient detail vs artifacting (difficult to guess from a still though), caused by too much IR reflection. It just looks like too much IR light at the front bouncing back from the drive and fence, so the camera...

    Worst install ever

    Sorry not sure if you were being sarcastic, but that tail is the optional power injector to use when the switch isn't PoE. Those SWANNcams also have weather covers for the RJ45 that they didn't use.

    Constant video artifacts and ghosting

    I don't have this camera, but I think you have to issues. Artifacting The artifacting is likely caused by having SVC enabled and Variable Bitrate. I would disable SVC and change to constant bitrate for troubleshooting (you can enable later). If that doesn't fix it disable hardware decode...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    I didn't understand it either, and then it just hit me, but it hit me very hard with the cams aborting every few minutes and multiple reboots. I amusing Blue Iris, so yes it could be that, it could be the camera model I am using, but whatever I think enough have been hit hard with this it should...

    The link is still in this forum and the Dropbox download still works, just tried it. V15 was quite stable but not as V13. Ie: rebooted every few days but not every few minutes.

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

    Out of no-where, the reboot bug has hit me!! Heck, even changing firmware is going to be risky as I can't keep the camera stable. Update: Powered down the camera for a while, and as soon as it was up I performed the update (downgrade) to V2.800.0000013.0.R, Build Date: 2019-12-02 as I didn't...
