    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    It is currently mounted at a height of 5m, so I don't know about the current temperature. But the problems did start on an extremely hot day (35+ degrees C). The camera is the wireless variant, which I believe does not support PoE. At this moment it works again, but the picture is still...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    A few weeks ago one of my cameras suddenly had an overexposed image. After a reboot it wouldn't start at all. A few days later it functioned like normal again. Yesterday the same problem arised. I've read somewhere that it could be a faulty power supply so I changed the 12V adapter of the...

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    Check the specifications of the chipset on the motherboard. Or ask someone with the setup you want to purchase to verify if it will work.

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    Yes, I had the same problem with the same motherboard... The chipset does not support the iGPU so there is no chance of passing it through. I replaced my motherboard. So for anyone looking to try this: make sure that the chipset of the motherboard supports the Intel GPU before you buy anything.

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    I am using a MSI H110M Eco with a i5-7500 CPU and 8 GB RAM. I initially used a Supermicro X11SSL-F motherboard but that did not work because it does not support the onboard GPU of the CPU. I believe the motherboard needs to recognize the onboard GPU with an ID of 0000:00:02.0 for it to work.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    So, I decided to test this camera outdoors and it still works after a few months of operation. I mounted it on a pole with the PFB302S and PFA103 mounts and wrapped some duct tape around the top (where the PFA103 connects to the camera). It survived a storm and temperatures of -10 C so I hope it...

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    I only have the internal GPU which is used by the Windows VM. The Linux VM does not need a GPU in my case (just a file server basically). I am not using a monitor by the way, but I think that should also work.

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    I thought I had replied to bp2008's post, apparently not... Yes, it works for me, although it took some time to figure out how to get it working. It might not work on a NUC (wrong motherboard configuration or whatever), but you will have to try it. I think it also only works with CPU's of...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Mine also still runs fine in the barn (indoors, but not the most friendly environment): Are these camera's still available, or is there a newer/better version on the market now (in the same price range)?

    Blue Iris UI3

    I have been using ui2 and now ui3beta for a while, and it is great. However, I am still struggling to get it properly working on a Raspberry Pi 3. I have been using JPEG SD streaming, and that kind of works, but the RPi occasionally freezes. The hardware decoding capabilities of the RPi should...

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    It works for me: You need to correctly install the drivers. I have a Kaby Lake CPU, maybe it does not work with earlier generations? Without the drivers correctly installed, QuickSync will not function so hardware acceleration also won't work in Blue Iris. For me it works. Try downloading the...

    Running BI in Virtualbox, will Intel hardware acceleration work?

    This is incorrect. Intel QuickSync does work inside a Windows 10 VM on ESXi. Blue Iris is able to use this for hardware acceleration inside a virtual machine.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Thanks. You are probably right. I will try to block internet access in the router for the camera.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    So I just came across this thread: 7 Dahau cameras lost connectivity Changing the gateway address seems to have fixed the problem, but the questions that remain: - What is causing this? - Is there a firmware upgrade to fix it?

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Mine stopped working for some reason. I could still ping it and it would reply, but when trying to access the web interface I get a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. After resetting this problem still remains... Anyone got a clue what could cause this? Sometimes I can connect to it for a few seconds, but...

    A bit late... but here is a snapshot: That's in complete darkness. Edit: the image does not load for some reason, you'll have to click on it.

    Blue Iris, Axis, lets go fishing

    There are tools which will calculate the required storage for you depending on your input. I think 2.5 Mbps is reasonable, but I am no expert.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    I am also using one of these in a stable and it works fine. I can make a snapshot for you tonight in complete darkness to show how it performs. A difference I noticed is that the IR on this camera looks quite focused. The IR is also much stronger than that of a IPC-HFW1320s which I had earlier...

    Quick Sync Video VM Passthrough Hopefully Coming Soon

    I can confirm this is working, however not in unRAID. There seems to be a bug in unRAID which prevents the passthrough of Kaby Lake CPU's to work correctly. In ESXi 6.5 it works fine though.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Alright, thanks. It would be a nice feature but I will survive without it :D

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Is it possible to trigger an alert sound in this web interface? I noticed that Blue Iris itself has this option, however I am only viewing it remotely and there are no speakers connected to the Blue Iris PC.

    Dahua IPC-HFW5231EN-Z - what did I just receive?

    I purchased ons of these instead of the turret because: - they were actually available - I think a wall mounted turret looks kinda weird. I probably don't need the alarm or audio either so it would not really matter which version I would have. I think the extra IR could be nice but I am not...

    Camera reccomdations and poke holes in my setup please

    I think the main difference is recognizing someone and identifying them. I could recognize my friends on a camera even if their face isn't visible. But if they should steal my stuff, it doesn't matter whether or not I recognize them, because they need to be identified. nayr has a point. If you...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I was under the impression that varifocal and zoom are essentially the same thing? (it also says 4.4x zoom in the first post) I realize it is not PTZ but I am not looking for a camera which can pan or tilt. Just wondering if it can zoom in on a fixed point when motion is detected.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have a (probably) general Dahua question: is it possible to set the camera to auto zoom when motion is detected? For example for monitoring a driveway, when motion is detected it zooms in? I think I will go for the bullet version of this camera to replace an existing Dahua bullet (which I...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Maybe a little late, but could you make a comparison of the 5231R and the HFW1320S? I have two of the latter and they have an incredible image quality compared to the other cheap junk cameras. I am wondering how much better the image quality can get. Especially considering the HFW1320S are...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Thanks, his AliExpress store doesn't seem to have any of the cameras I want in stock, but I will contact him.

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Now I am confused by the model numbers.:confused: I thought the one in the link was the SD29204S-GN, but in the store it is the sd29204t-gn. The one you linked is the SD29204S-GN. I did find this comment by nayr: I also need a few other cameras so I'll just try to find a shop which has all of...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Does anyone know if these will get back in stock? I think it might be related to the Chinese new year, but there is no mention of it anywhere.

    Quick Sync Video VM Passthrough Hopefully Coming Soon

    Has anyone tried this already? It should be working in unRAID 6.3: IGD Device Assignment to VMs According to that topic it should work on all CPU's that are Sandy Bridge or newer, instead of being limited to Haswell/Broadwell. My plan is to run Blue Iris on an unRAID server so if someone could...
