    Wall-Mounted Viewing Station

    After a lot of research, I think that a Microsoft Surface Go (a 10" Windows tablet) would work well as a wall-mounted viewing station. It has a nice, hi-def touchscreen, perfect for UI3. It could be powered by the GAT-USBC-PD from PoETexas.com (GAT-USBC-PD). This adapter takes PoE+ and delivers...

    Wall-Mounted Viewing Station

    I have some questions about creating a wall-mounted viewing station. Please forgive any dumb q's on my part: I bought the cameras a month ago, the server a week ago, and BlueIris, a day ago. I want to mount a touchscreen on the wall at the front door. That way, we can see who's on the other...

    I'm trying to select cameras for the house design. I don't know enough to understand 2.4 and 3.6 and all that, and it would be months of reading before I could educate myself. So I'm using the forums posts, above, and the Dahua Product Selector at...

    Since my last post, I've done some studying about normal vs. panoramic cameras: use 5MP or 4K for better recognition; use 12MP (?) for panoramic. I can only devote a couple hours every couple days: I'm knee deep in 3-4 other projects, including learning how to rack mount a file server and a...

    Wow--already some good information being returned. What a great forum! I forgot to mention that the house is really well-lighted. The front of the house is lit by two garage sconces and a 3-turrent lamp post. The dome light at the front door has a motion detector that catches movement out ~10...

    Hi to all. After a few years of prepping and lurking, I'm ready to install cameras and servers into my very first rack this season. Hurray! It's finally happening. I have info overload, though: more stuff coming in is pushing out things I already memorized. I just spent 3-4 on the network and...

    Hard #'s on CPU and HD usage

    Hello. I've been reading and searching and doing all my due diligence in consideration of a BlueIris installation. I'm in communication with hardware guys (trying to spec out a server) and they asked some basic questions for which I don't have the answers...and the answers don't seem easy to...
