    Imou cheap indoor camera with POE that works with Blue Iris

    I'm based in the UK and it was really difficult to get one of those Armcrest indoor POE cameras to monitor baby/children, so I came across the Imou IPC-A22EP at around £20 which works pretty well in Blue Iris including PTZ and has a regular network socket, then I purchased some POE to Micro USB...

    ONVIF alerts not working on 5.7

    Are you guys experiencing problems with dahua cameras and the latest 5.7 versions released? I had to downgrade to 5.6 to get it to work again. It seems all 5.7 updates from BI so far break ONVIF alerts

    Dahua NVR software in a virtual machine or barebone pc

    Hey guys, I've been using Blue Iris in place of my Unifi system, but as any other system, it has a fair bit of "quirks" and I was wondering how different a Dahua NVR experience would be. Instead of me buying a big box to play around, I was hoping I could get an image of their OS/Software and...

    Camera options for front door

    I've been reading a lot here about front door cameras, most recommendations have been around dome cameras or the boobie camera (still dome) which I also read a lot about, and the dome form factor seems to be a bit problematic. I had a few Unifi G3 dome cameras, all of them giving IR reflections...

    Alarm and Audio in/out on cameras

    I've seen a few Dahua cameras like the IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE aka IPC-Color4K-T180 stating alarm and audio in/out. I'm wondering what is the use case for these ports? It is to detect something and send a notification to an alarm system or the alarm system to trigger recording? What about...

    Covering/protecting cameras from the elements

    I'm wondering if I should be covering cameras with some sort of cover like this: I'm thinking about getting a IPC-Color4K-T180, and judging by the wall bracket PFB203W | Dahua Technology (dahuasecurity.com), it doesn't look like it provides much cover. What are the recommendations for these...

    Dahua NVRs as an upgrade from Unifi protect, or go straight to Blueiris?

    Not sure if this here is the right place, but I'm planning to move away from Unifi Protect and I'm considering Blueiris on a custom PC, or perhaps take a easier way and get a Dahua NVR. I've never used Dahua NVRs, or anything else than Unifi protect, so I've no idea how good/bad they are. I'm...

    Planning new cameras positioning and models, moving away from Unifi Protect

    I've been reading a lot here on this forum and decided to get rid of my current Unifi camera system in favour of probably Blue Iris and Dahua cameras. I'm trying to figure out the best positioning for my new cameras to replace existing ones, and cover additional areas too. I've been keeping an...
