The famous HP Black Friday Costco deal appears to have come early. I type this on the 10th gen Intel laptop I bought in 2019 intending to use it for BlueIris. The 13th gen Intel i3 is on sale at Costco for $350 now...

Of the 8 Republican candidates, who do you think performed the best in the debate? This is a separate question than who your favorite among the 8 is.

If I was a hateful, bigoted racist, especially towards black folk, I would love Infirmative Action. I'd be all for reparations, student loan forgiveness, food stamps, free abortions, UBI... I'd keep black folk as dependent, despondent, and undignified as possible, for as long as possible. Keep...

For the life of me, I cannot remember what simple setting I change to get Blue Iris to not drop my cameras when I enable Windscribe VPN. It was all working until I had to reinstall Windscribe, and now I get "No Signal" whenever I flip on the VPN. Somehow Google and search is failing to give me...

Not really a question about camera placement, but flag placement. Now that I've got a cam to record license plates, I found that my flag is periodically triggering/blocking the camera. I even moved it slightly thinking that might give it enough distance, but it still occasionally triggers. I...

I'm running a Dahua 5542T-ZE (zoomed to max) and my preference would be to use the more efficient H.265 codec since that reduces network traffic and saves storage space (5TB currently allocated). In playing with settings, I found that turning on Smart Codec and using VBR produces very good...

A couple months ago while in Hawaii, I saw a car turn on a red light and ram into the car just ahead of me. I passed by thinking it was some odd "accident" only to see a fist fight break out followed by a shirtless man running down the street. I attempted pursuit in my rental minivan, but lost...

Here are my goals; Detect cars and flag them as cars Detect people and flag them as people Detect line crossing Detect packages added/removed from front door LPR (long term goal) Possibly detect a parked car where one shouldn't be parked I'm already doing continuous recording, but I'd like the...

I bought an IPC-K42A from Andy and although it's for indoor use, the areas outside I'd like to use it is very sheltered from the elements. My question is, would it be better to mount the camera facing away from the door to get people approaching, or would it be better to face it towards the...

I don't have much to work with considering trees limit the angles I can get, but I'd like to have an LPR camera if possible. These are about the best angles I can get, unfortunately. The thing working in my favor is a stop sign just 3 houses down at the left of the photos, meaning cars are...

A while back I had a prompt to update BlueIris, so I just clicked OK, and then the update broke BI because it went to a version beyond my support expiration date. Wish there was some intelligence built in that prevents unlicensed versions from being applied, as it seems like a shady practice to...

My Dahua5442T-ZE zoomed most of the way in captured this last month. Edited video Kids parked and sat for 10 minutes, then went through unlocked cars in the neighborhood for the next 30 minutes. Took a 6-pack of Coke and multitool from my cop neighbor (his personal mission is to find these...

I'm starting from scratch and soliciting advice on hardware primarily, placement, and any other helpful tips. I'll start out with 1 or 2 cameras and expand later. Front of house is my focus just to keep an eye on things, primarily at night, but also to monitor package deliveries. Haven't...
