    Dahua baby camera recommendation

    Hello - I have a lot of Dahua cameras with a mix of HDW5231R-Z, HDW5231R-ZE, T5442TM-AS, etc. Wondering if I should get a PTZ camera with zoom, so I could zoom into the crib at night but have the full room during the day. Just wondering if any one has feedback on either a good camera for a baby...

    AMD Processors with Blue Iris

    Currently running a Intel Core i7-8700K with 12 Dahua cameras at 1440p. My CPU usage is around 38% and was wondering how Blue Iris did with AMD processors. Because I know they have a hardware accelerated decode related to Intel but wasn't sure how much that mattered. Was trying to reduce the CPU...

    Getting IR with Dahua cameras on BI

    Thanks for the reply. The PullPointSubscription didn't though. I tried different Make and Models with 2-3 different Dahua cameras and still couldn't get them to respond to IR changes from BI.

    Getting IR with Dahua cameras on BI

    I don't have much PTZ functionality with my Dahua cameras but it would be nice to change the IR setting from BI. I am not able to change it on any of them. I have mostly IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras. I did Find/Inspect in BI and it comes back with Generic/ONVIP as the make. I've tried manually...

    Can't drag any of my camera boxes in BI

    Anyone know why I can't move or reorganize any of my cameras? I'm on BI4. I obviously Right-Clicked and disabled "Drag Lock." Anytime I left click to move a camera, it just maximizes. I also thought I had a little hand mouse when I was able to move them. It is just an arrow all the time.

    Switch -> Switch -> Router -> BI?

    Are you trying to physically isolate the IP cameras from the internet? No Are you using VLANs to isolate the IP cameras from the internet? No Do you want to view your IP cameras over the internet? Yes Does your BI computer have two NICs? Nope Are you using a VPN on your modem/router? Nope

    Switch -> Switch -> Router -> BI?

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Thanks. I actually have a few of the IPC-T5442TM-AS and just wanted to make sure something better didn't come out already. I also enjoy the wider view angle, once I have it on the big screen, don't feel like I need the magnified view.

    Is there currently a better 4mp starlight fixed lens camera than the IPC-T5442TM-AS ? Was thinking of purchasing it from here on Amazon.

    Review-Dahua SD1A203T-GN Starlight Mini PTZ

    Yeah, I was concerned about the heat. With the IR on, it was getting too hot to even hold. Seemed like a fire hazard to me and returned it.

    WD Purple 5400 or 7200

    I reached out to Western Digital on 5400 vs 7200. They said the 7200 obviously offers faster reads and writes and are more suited to run an OS, execute programs quicker, and transfer files, He said the 7200 uses more power, more heat, and their lifespan can turn out to be shorter than a lower...

    Wouldn't the 7200rpm be louder than the 5400rpm?

    @EMPIRETECANDY These 5442 cameras were previously listed on Amazon for $175.59 but had a promo discount of $8.78. If they go on promo again, I want to pick up a few more. Any plans?

    I have one of these cameras inside and my tile looks weird with the lines. When I enlarge the video stream, everything looks normal. It looks the same on my mobile app. It also appears in my regular Dahua cam viewer through FireFox. Tried change most of the video settings, including putting...

    Review-Dahua SD1A203T-GN Starlight Mini PTZ

    Looney2ne - can you put the IR on for a few hours and take the temperature of the bottom, mine got to 127F. If I wrap my hands around the sides, it is too hot to hold for more than a few seconds.

    My camera gets up to 127 degrees F. If you grip it with your hands it is too hot to hold for more than a few sections.

    I got one of these cameras and it is extremely hot when touched. I actually am unable to hold it in my hand because it is so hot. Is this normal? It seems dangerous.

    I believe these cameras are on Amazon but they say they are by Loryta . What is Loryta ? Are there differences between Andy directly, Aliexpress, and Amazon? Looks like they all sold by Andy.
