    I'm wondering what the biggest advantage is of Blue Iris 5 over Blue Iris 4?

    That's the best part ..... new toys! I've ordered quite a few cams from Andy the past 2 months and what a learning experience! Some surprises too which prompted me to evaluate which cameras should go where.

    I'm wondering what the biggest advantage is of Blue Iris 5 over Blue Iris 4?

    Thanks Wittaj. That helps as my system runs about 55% + now . The church's not so much ...around 10% +. Good investment I think. Appreciate

    I'm wondering what the biggest advantage is of Blue Iris 5 over Blue Iris 4?

    I have installed and I monitor 2 camera systems that use Blue Iris 4 and they don't have many problems that can't be fixed. My own system has 12 cameras and my church's system has 11 cameras and between me and ipcamtalk I've kept them running. If I were to go to Blue Iris 5 would there be an...

    Setup Instructions for new IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE-NI 4MP?

    I just bought a 3rd camera from Andy based on the excellent suggestions and help from wittaj , sebastioncombs and too many others to count. But now, a new camera. I used the same shutter and gain suggestions for a starting point when I set up my last camera, a 3241 which worked out great. Now...

    Thanks to all the help here I've come to some conclusions on setting up the IPC-T3241T-ZAS to be installed at church. I've tested at night for the last 2 days and it seems color will give the best facial detail at night at a close range. Bear in mind that I'm just looking at subjects who will...

    Good point wittai .... I'll go out right now and walk by it's temp mounting and see if I get any artifacts. I worked on my Day/Night and Shutter/Gain settings this morning when it was still pitch black out where I could then walk outside in front of the camera and then back in to check any...

    Hooray ... You had to put a ring in my nose to get me there but I made a couple of adjustments and saw a big change. Went out and walked and saw that my face was washed out (gain was 65) but now I am seeing how to make the adjustments. I can see now that I'll need to do some more night...

    I must be blind or in the wrong program. I don't see "shutter" listed anywhere. I open IE and then log in and I've clicked on everything there ... or maybe it's past my bedtime .... 1st, am I looking in the right area?

    Good point wittai .... I'll go out right now and walk by it's temp mounting and see if I get any artifacts. Ok, I'm seeing what you mean at night ... sorta ghosting. So ,,,, auto/default settings eludes me..... or is the BI camera setting that says Black and White?

    It's just temp and I'll probably remount it tomorrow evening at church under a covered walkway. I wanted to get a little familiar with it before I take it to it's new home and not have anybody ask me if I knew what I was doing. :^)))).

    I bought the 3241 but I did not see audio wires hanging out like on the B4552B - ZE that I bought from Andy. It did not have a wiring diagram like the 4552 did. The 3241 is on a test pole and tomorrow I may move it to it's new home. But WOW .... the 1st image I checked was at 3 am when it...

    2.8 mm vs 3.6 mm IPC-T5442TM-AS

    Thanks ... after reading that review and watching the videos I ordered that one. I was a little hesitant about 2 MP but I think this will be the correct camera. Most targets will be coming up the sidewalk and through the office door in broad daylight and those are my primary targets. Night...

    2.8 mm vs 3.6 mm IPC-T5442TM-AS

    Thanks wittaj. Here is a screenshot I just took showing the "approx" amount of light available at night. I'm still learning but I will check to see if Andy has that particular camera and then compare all three.
