    Fixed lens version of 5831R-ZE eyeball?

    From what I can tell, there doesn't appear to be, but need to be sure before ordering? Not looking for vari-focus on this cam position since even if I did go with vari-focal, I would have the lens opened up to max anyway.

    Migrated BI - How to integrate existing recordings [SOLVED]

    Just moved my BI install to another system. I use an external USB drive for my recorded clips. I updated the BI config to point to the new external drive letter. But, BI is only showing me recordings that have been created as part of the migrated install. Is there a way to get BI to integrate...

    BI remote management access? [SOLVED]

    I'm wanting to physically move my BI system to somewhere else on my LAN...somewhere that it wouldn't be very convenient to get to when I want to make configuration changes or updates. New location of BI would be a headless setup. I have remote viewing setup and it has been working fine for...

    GPU vs Quicksync

    I'm considering/wanting to upgrade the CPU on my BI server (currently an old Intel 3770S) to a Ryzen, but would obviously lose the Quicksync. So if I did this, is there any way to even roughly calculate what the lowest level GPU I would need to install into the system to provide the same...

    How to get left side-bar clips back? [Resolved]

    Feel like an idiot, but apparently I clicked on something that removed the clips bar on the left. Right now, I've found a way to either see all my cameras in live view...or only a big listing of all the recorded clips in the main area. How do I get back to where I have both?

    Firmware for 2831?

    I've tried 2 versions of 2x3x firmware and they both indicate that they're not the correct version. It's been a while since I've updated, so maybe I've forgotten something here? Wouldn't this be the correct software? DH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream2_V2.800.0000013.0.R.191202.bin

    Want to rotate image 90 degrees - Can't - Resolution

    I have one of my cams (2831) setup and decided I'd like to try rotating the image 90 degrees. After hitting Save in the cam UI, an error message appears saying "Current resolution doesn't support this function". Is there a resolution setting somewhere I need to adjust to make this possible or...

    (2831) Missing WDR setting on one cam

    I have two 2831's running the exact same firmware (2.800) One of them has the WDR option available (which is needed) while the other 2831 does not (also needed for the other cam). Is there some other setting that I might have selected that then negates the WDR option from being made available?

    Dahua and Intel HA

    Just installed another 2831 last night and when I went to enable Intel HA, the setting wouldn't hold. Did some quick searching and it appears that Axis cams are having some issues with Intel and HA...so on a whim, I changed the 2831 from H.265 to H.264H. That allowed Intel HA setting to stick...

    8MP eyeballs?

    More just wondering, but why are there no 8MP eyeballs/turrets? There's domes and bullets... Or are there and I'm just not seeing them? Looking for an eyeball equivalent of the DH-IPC-HDBW2831T-ZS

    Hardware Decode setting: Anything besides "No" creates image issue

    Running 4.8.4.5 I had been running my cams with h.265 (which you can't run any hardware decoding with, I know) but then switched back to h.264H (Various models of Dahua cams and 1 HikV). After doing this, I then setup hardware decode back to "Intel". Note: The HikV cam doesn't support h.265...

    264 vs 264B vs 264H ?

    Have a new cam (2831) and noticed that I now have the B and H options. But after spending some time searching, I'm not finding anything clear that describes the differences in these 3 formats. Anyone able to comment on the primary attributes of each...compared to the other? (Good, Better, Best)??

    Make Time Question

    To have an action qualify for the Make Time, does BI simply need to see that a change occurred and that the changed pixels remain 'changed' for the amount of Make Time? (Example, if some stationary object were moved and it took less than the Make Time to move the object, and once it was done...

    smtp notification on camera

    Trying to get smtp notifications working on one camera (for face recognition testing). This is using gmail, of which I have two other systems currently using gmail to send emails...so I know it works. As far as I can tell, it's all setup properly. I've added the device in the google security...

    Quick Question...why would one ever need/want a PTZ?

    I'm not in the market for one...but it just occurred to me. What would be a use-case scenario for an outdoor PTZ camera? (not including commercial applications here) In my mind, the cameras are sending their stream back to a recording system. If there is a trigger, the clips are stored and...

    HDBW4231F-AS mounted to standard 1-gang box?

    I'll be needing to mount a HDBW4231F-AS next to the front door side wall, which is brick and has 1-Gang outlet box installed for the camera, which sits flush with the brick. This outlet box is where the network cable comes out. I don't see any available mounting solutions on the Dahua site for...

    Camera live view not showing in Live View Main window

    Never mind. Fixed it. Somehow....the camera live window was appearing OUTSIDE of BI...by itself. ???? Closed it and then that camera's window began properly appearing within BI again. No idea if this is a feature that I inadvertently activated or what. Very odd...just came back and see that...

    Needing to build New (upgraded) BI system for more cams

    Currently just running 4 cams on my 3770S system. Building new house and am estimating about 9-10 Starlight 2MP cams. Trying to figure out if I should upgrade the old Ivy Bridge 3770S or build something a little newer....and if so, what would be an adequate CPU to handle the load (D2D enabled)...

    Pre-trigger Video Buffer doesn't seem to be working

    4.5.9.8 system Not sure what the issue is, but BI is NOT pre-recording. Here's some images of my settings: Dropbox - BI-Trigger.png [/IMG] The pre-trigger value is set to 10sec. Even though I have Zones for non-detection setup, I've tried disabling that anyway and it doesn't make any...

    Front door - what lens?

    Any recommendations for the lens for a front door cam? (2.8, 4, 6, etc) This cam would be primarily for seeing walk-up, package drop-off. Want to make sure I get good image of faces too. Should I avoid 2.8mm for this application? If I should, then the issue I have is that most cameras I see...

    2342 - New 5.4.1 firmware

    Was just setting up my new 2342 and noticed that it came preloaded with 5.4.1 code. I don't even see this version on any of the firmware download sites....only 5.4.0 still. Anyone know anything about it?

    h.264+ vs HA+VPP ?

    Noticed that enabling h.264+ on my 2342 brought bandwidth down from 730-820kB/s to 10-80kB/s. I think I need to disable this though when using the HA+VPP option though, right?

    Not getting the pre-trigger frames included in the clips

    I have the camera configured, as far as I can tell, with 10 pre-frames. But frequently when I view recorded clips, I can see where not only were the 'pre' clips not recorded, but what should be the *start* of the movement was not even recorded. Example, car coming home and pulling into...

    Weird Short Clips recorded (when it says they're longer)

    Still getting used to BI, so working through things... Something I've been seeing pretty frequently when I go back and view existing recorded clips are clips that when played appear to only be about 1/2 second long. BUT....according to the clip metadata, they're actually much longer (e.g...

    Recorded clips sometimes show motion video othertimes are simply a snapshot. Why?

    I've just installed my first outdoor camera (Hik 2342) and am noticing that sometimes triggers (cars passing by) result in video footage and other times just still image shots. i'm guessing I have a configuration setting somewhere that is causing this...but no idea what it is.

    New 2342 cam installed - working - then 8 hrs later no preview/Live View

    So I got my 2nd Hikvision camera installed finally (2342) and connected to BI. Everything working great. This was at about 10pm. Next morning, I go to check on things and find that there's no video (BI says No Signal). So I check to see if I can log into the camera directly. I can. No video...

    Configure BI to record to external USB drive?

    This *shouldn't* be that difficult to figure out...:grumpy: I just want to specify a USB drive as the recording destination. The only place I can see where maybe this is done is on the Camera Properties tab, on the record tab, in the Video/Folder section. But, even then, it's not intuitively...
