    Looking for which cameras to pair with my Unifi home system. Go Unifi or 3rd Party + BI?

    The cameras at the old house are staying with the house. I wonder what sort of implications come with using 3rd party cams with unifiy protect. I haven't used it personally, but it seems better than Blue Iris.

    Looking for which cameras to pair with my Unifi home system. Go Unifi or 3rd Party + BI?

    Hey guys! So I'm moving in November, and I'm leaving all my cameras with the house. I am taking my server that runs BI however. The new house is 7500 Sq Ft, so with that, I'll be updating all the networking to everything Unifi. I'm currently a bit hung up on whether I should stick with Blue...

    I am looking for a very smart tracking PTZ IP Cam under $3000?

    One of my biggest pet peeves with my Sunba is the .5 - .75 second delay when moving around my PTZ joystick - I'm assuming that's a camera hardware / firmware issue. It's the only PTZ camera I've ever had so I can't know for sure - does this camera have any lag issues when moving around the joystick?

    I am looking for a very smart tracking PTZ IP Cam under $3000?

    I definitely consider you an expert so I will take your advice. I've never heard of Empire Tech, why do you like them? What does this camera have to offer over some of the smart ones I've seen Dahua put out?

    I am looking for a very smart tracking PTZ IP Cam under $3000?

    Right now I have a Sunba P636V2, it's about $300 and it's quite frankly garbage. The PTZ is slow and laggy and unresponsive and the AI tracking is horrendous. Wondering if anyone has a bead on a really smart IP camera with very good intelligent tracking, preferably one with a wide angle lens and...

    Is there a good way to display BI feed on smart TV's within the house?

    Wondering if there's a quick way to do this. I know I can can go into the browser of the TV and type all the credentials in and all that but it's a pain in the ass. How do you all do it?

    BI Won't display timeline before 0200? Are my storage settings causing this?

    Also... while I have you, I don't want to start a new thread for a basic question - Is this set up properly? I will be out of town for two weeks, and want to set vacation mode on, I do not want vacation mode to deactivate. I'm not sure what Until Triggered means, and I want to say Temp Time is...

    BI Won't display timeline before 0200? Are my storage settings causing this?

    Ahh, I see - I misinterpreted that to be file size, I didn't want each file to be more than 3gb. Okay - I changed the settings. How does this look? It's an 18TB drive:

    BI Won't display timeline before 0200? Are my storage settings causing this?

    Just as the title says, I started recording sometime yesterday, and have active working files that show that, however the timeline in BI won't show before 0200 this morning, what is causing this? I'm guessing it has something to do with database repair at 0200? What settings should I change>

    (Reolink RLN16-410) Am I able to have multiple camera streams coming into 1 ethernet port?

    And the reolink would just pick up any cameras coming in through the WAN / LAN port automatically? It did that when I connected the cameras to the camera ports.

    (Reolink RLN16-410) Am I able to have multiple camera streams coming into 1 ethernet port?

    It's for my uncles house who's not very tech savvy. I'm well aware of reolink and their reputation, this is all I have to work with, however. So basically I'll need to run the switch to the router then as well if that's the case, yeah? Or I could just run the switch to the router with all the...

    (Reolink RLN16-410) Am I able to have multiple camera streams coming into 1 ethernet port?

    So I'm planning out how to set up my system. I have five cameras all POE, IDEALLY I would like to not have to run 5 cables to the outside of my house to their respective positions but rather one cable, into a switch, then from that switch into all the cameras, since all the cameras will be close...

    What's the best way to approach a basic 2-3 camera setup for my non tech savvy uncle (with remote viewing)

    My uncle wants me to set up a few cameras in his barn (he has wired internet going to it) I personally went the route of a PC running Blue Iris, but I feel like that would be overkill for him for just a few cameras. Is there a good NVR or DVR recommendation that does POE that I can hook a few...

    Exported video playing at 1fps from Reolink Duo 2 cameras?

    So I can export all of my camera feeds just fine, but for whatever reason my two Reolink Duo 2 cameras export at 1fps. When I play the video back in BI, it's perfectly fine, steady 30 fps or whatever it is, exporting, no bueno. I've tried every possible combination of settings I feel like and...

    How practical is it to connect my parents IP cam from their house to my BI server remotely?

    So my parents want to get an IP camera, but they want to deal with DVR and setting it up and all that stuff. In theory, wouldn't it be easy enough to get an IP cam for them and port forward it, then capture the stream on my BI server? Or does that come with complications?

    45ms delay between PTZ input and camera movement, is this normal?

    Everything goes through my asus router but no p2p. I guess I'm just kind of screwed then huh?

    45ms delay between PTZ input and camera movement, is this normal?

    Just as the title says, there's (to me) a disgusting amount of lag between the PTZ command and the actual movement of the camera (not the video feed). Whether the input is from my network keyboard, or within the camera interface itself, the delay is aroun 46 ms. It's quite difficult to quickly...

    Is it possible to have a second BI application that is just view only and reads from the network drive that houses the archive files?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, this doesn't look 4k to me, when I select a camera it's okay, but the dashboard is like 240p

    Is it possible to have a second BI application that is just view only and reads from the network drive that houses the archive files?

    Just as the title says, when I want to view and playback footage on another computer that isn't the BI comp, I hate using the BI webpage everything is so blurry. Is it possible to just have another instance of BI that has the same cameras connected but doesn't record anything, and just have it...

    How do these external connections work from third party bots?

    The 174 is not me, it seems like just your typical roaming bot. The 143 though, I think you're right - that makes sense. I did have a VPN on through my browser when I was testing connection. Now that makes sense! Thanks

    How do these external connections work from third party bots?

    So playing around with a different camera system I have set up and opened up my port, my camera is just laying in my closet because I'm not actually using this system, but I noticed that someone managed to log into my BI using my username, and evidently my password which is VERY obscure. Does...

    Is there a large performance difference between HDD, SSD, and NVME Drives in terms of video playback?

    Is there a large performance difference between HDD, SSD, and NVME Drives in terms of video playback?

    So currently I'm using 8TB of NVME in a Raid 0 configuration for my BI drive. With 9 4K cameras, video playback is snappy and I'm quite happy with BI's performance. Recently, I've been kind of craving a big more storage however, because this set up only allows me a few days of playback...

    Drives overallocated even after rebuilding DB

    I'll try that - any idea on why my write speed is so low compared to my max write speed? Or is that just how much bandwidth is incoming from all the cameras.

    Drives overallocated even after rebuilding DB

    Nah, I just made sure I always have more space, it just constantly says overallocated.
