    Higher Resolution vs Higher MM Lens - At what point would you recommend one over the other?

    Just so I'm on the right page here, did you mean to say that you digitally zoomed in to make the image the same size? Sorry if I'm reading this wrong.

    Bird box camera uses cloud p2p - possible to configure and use locally?

    Don't know if you have a Mac or not but here is what I do when I have to figure out a device on my network. 1: I unplug the device 2: I start up LanScan (or on an older mac ArpSpyX) and scan the network for devices. 3: I plug in the camera and rescan This will get me the IP address that got...

    Alt/Timelapse plus Continuous recording?

    I just go a cool 360 camera from Andy's Memorial Day sale and it's up on the roof as I speak. My question is how to do a continuous recording plus record a timelapse? It would be nice to generate a mp4 daily timelapse but still get the 30 fps logging for other experiments (like looking for...

    2021 Memorial Day Promotion

    Just to clarify, will the refirb cameras be on Amazon as well or will we shop somewhere else for them? Some really nice prices and I look forward to adding yet more cameras to my poor overloaded BI system. The next question is what time is the sale going to start, do I need to set and...

    I just can't get storage to work.

    Thanks All, This is running on a VM so I was adding disk as I added cameras. I have enough disk for the cameras because when I go look I have files older than today. I rotate on 4Gig max size for all cameras and don't use time. Thanks SouthernYankee, I wasn't aware that deleting files...

    I just can't get storage to work.

    Looking for some suggestions, BI keeps filling up my disk and I'm having an issue figuring it out. Here are the settings: Clips and archiving: New: goes to e:\New, Limit size 400 GB and move to folder Stored plus Queue for convert/export are the only options set. E drive is 512 G...

    Roof cam (maybe: IPC EB5531)

    Thanks, I was thinking coating the dome with some hydrophobic spray like I use on my swim goggles (see quick spit or fog gone). For the price (< 150 on aliexpress) it's not a bad thing to try and see if I can get some night sky activiity. There is a much nicer camera (Starlight Xpress...

    Roof cam (maybe: IPC EB5531)

    Has anyone ever pointed a camera straight up on the roof (sometimes called sky cam but googling that isn't very helpful). The Dahua IPC EB5531 is a 5MP fisheye and I'm thinking of getting one and sticking it on top of my weather mast. Not worried about the software side but I'm curious if...

    How many cameras everyone running?

    How did you get the cameras to the TV, that's pretty neat. I have 13 active, 1 wireless, 12 POE all running on BI on an ESXi VM. The trick about enabling the substream really helped and the cpu is typically < 60%. I have some inside cams but they are all disconnected because I'm lazy. My...

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Cameras are pretty cool

    One cable to the camera 2 main video feeds. Attached is my messy backyard but you can see the coverage is pretty nice, sadly the cameras are only 2M AND I need to do a better job aligning them but it's close to 180 coverage in a 4 mpix image. I'm running without the IR and there is enough...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I'm sure that Mike has his reasons but it would probably be very helpful if we could enable debug when having issues. I tried wireshark but didn't see any activity and to be honest the webcams produce a lot of volume. I haven't found a way for wireshark to monitor a PID so we're kinda stuck...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Is anyone else still having issues with fetching the weather? It hasn't worked for months but I'm coming back around to see if anything changed. I tried multiple stations in my area and all return "Error connecting to wunderground. Check your internet connection / station ID' I can hit...

    Spiderwebs throwing lots of alerts

    I don't know if others have this issue but it seems that every so often I'll get a spiderweb across one of my cameras and will wake up to 50+ email alerts due to the constant triggering. I then (the following day) go out and clean them off but I'm wondering if there is a setting in BI that...

    Why isn't my grass green?

    This is an old Reolink RLC-410W that I just mounted up and the picture is confusing. Note that the sky is blue, you can see some green is on the pool but the trees and grass is just wrong. Thanks for any thoughts. I would jump on a IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M if it came in a wireless model, I just...

    Lack of decent wifi cameras?

    This camera is basically to try to catch the critters that are eating my 25 cent gold fish as well as monitor the water level in the pond. Most of my house is POE but it's nice to be able to see what the pond is doing. I'll take a look at the Ubiquiti cameras. Thx all

    Lack of decent wifi cameras?

    I have a camera back at my pond, about 40 feet from an access point and it's in the weather so every couple of years the camera dies. I've been looking for a decent replacement camera and even contacted Andy (thanks Andy for the quick response) but it seems that wifi cameras are pretty lame...

    Email on external web connection?

    It would be really cool to have an option to get an email if there is an external connection to the webserver. Also support port knocking would be really nice and make for a more secure product. Has anyone figured out how to make those 2 requests work? thx, bob
