Am I looking for a unicorn? Realink Lumus would be perfect (albeit not PTZ), but it won't work with BI. I want to keep it under $100. PTZ would be a big plus. We need to put those cams inside glassed-in porches so we can't use IR during the night. Streetlights are good enough, though. Also, I...

Getting Restart AI to refresh the list. Something broke in detection and I can't sort it out. Did my restarts, re-installs, downgrades, and upgrades. Running 5.7.9.4 BI (downgraded from 5.7.9.5 when I think it broke) with 2.1.11 CodeProjectAI on Win10 PC. Using CPU since Intel GPU on mobo and...

I have Windows 10 Pro system with the latest BI. Sometimes I get these random crashes or shutdowns. Is there a way to set up BI so it is restarted automatically after a crash or at least I get notification?

Time for me to toss Foscams C1s and C3s into the garbage. The amount of call home traffic they do is ridonculous. I am looking for either PTZ or something small. Sub $50 would be nice. ONVIF is a must, so BlueIris can deal with them nicely.

Having an issue with PTZ on PTZ1C203UE-GN I have firmware 2.810.0000000.4.R.E4.386. #1. Where do you do presets? There aren't any PTZ settings to be found anywhere on the web interface. 2. Side to side movement does not seem to work. If I phisically move the camer out of the furthest position...

I currently have two Foscam C2E in the window in one of my places. Basically watching over the driveway. Problem is, you can't turn off IR on those. You either get day mode or night mode with IR. Forcing only day mode makes camera useless after dusk. At some point I will be putting in proper...

I have BI (5) running on Dell OptiPlex 3020 i5-4590 (3.3 GHz) with 16GB of RAM and my recording drive is SSD and archive drive is on NAS. It has built-in Intel 4600 graphics 25 cams, most are 2MP Starlights, most are running 15FPS, most are on 3 second pre-trigger and only on motion recording...

Too much choice with Dahuas :-) Here is what I am trying to solve: I would like to get add PTZ cam to my system, that I could use to check out how dirty/clean my solar panels are and also trigger it to act as 2ndary recording cam for when one of the primary cameras is triggered. Since I plan...

I am trying to find a mount for one of these rebranded cams LTSecurity sells xt-mall Any idea which one of the Hikvision cams this is, so I can find a wall mount for it?

I have firmware 2.623.0000000.7.R.R4.383 (Build Date: 2018-11-24) on my SD1A203T-GN-W. I have reset to defaults everything under Conditions and tried to turn WDR on. Unfortunately, while it saves and says WDR is on, the setting has zero effect on the image. Anyone had this problem and sorted it...

I am having a terrible time with changing settings for my Dahua cameras. Plugin in IE places video image over the settings I use Dell XPS 15" laptop with 3840X2160 screen. To change settings I have to change my monitor resolution below 1080 pixels in vertical Any solutions to this problem...

Right now I have 4 cameras from my vacation place streaming to my house where I am handling another 12 on the BI setup. I would like to split off the 4 cams and run them locally. What would be the optimal setup for it? I've had great success with refurb Dell Optiplex for my home and office, but...

I am looking to setup whole system for my mother's place. If I eventually plan to expand to 12 starlight cams, considering about $200-$300 price difference for PC (being more expensive), is it really worth going the PC route, or NVR5216-16P-4KS2 is a better choice?

I killed my Dahua older PTZ. So time for me to replace it with something else. What is the camera to get now?

So the DH-SD29204S-GN I have won't let me enable WDR no matter what I try. Also, it won't allow passwords with special characters. Firmware is old from 2015. Is there newer firmware for it somewhere? I tried on the Dahua site, but it only has it for the T version, not the S version. Current...

Time for me to replace several 2.8mm and 4MM fixed cams with varifocals. I need like 3 of them, so starlight ones are out of budget. Is IPC-HFW4431R-Z still the one to go with? I have one in my "collection" and it is my fav varifocal I own.

Gettting overwhelmed with selection. I need couple 4MM 2MP or higher cams. Good IR is most important. Anything in Dahuas under $80 per?

All these options I see for PTZs and I am just not seeing why I should spend $500+ when I can do $150 blackface PTZ + couple IR illuminators (would be nice to find curved oned that can do 120 or 180 degrees) + outdoor enclosure dome. Question: one enclosure I bought before is not longer...

I am looking to replace several 2MP domes I have had for a while with something better. Would like varifocal, so I can tune to what I want to focus on recording. Motorized would be nice. Definitely need PoE. If I can stick with under $100 per, that would be awesome

I love the mini PTZ I got couple months ago, but there is an area I would love to have one that someone can't figure out (easily) where it is pointing. Dome versions that are as good value?

I have about long and narrow (158'X50') area of the yard facing increasingly busy street I'd like to cover with camera(s). I have couple Dahua PTZs now I really like that seem to work well for the area I use them for. I am trying to avoid having to run conduit and wire to multiple cameras...

Really frustrated. Got this mini-PTZ v2 (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-Sell-2016-New-Arrival-Rotary-Bullet-PTZ-Camera-with-Onvif-1080P-MINI-PTZ-IP-Camera/32583148851.html). Not only can I not save any other setting, it sits stuck on 192.168.0.99 and won't accept DHCP setting. Worse yet, it...

I am looking at replacing my weak laptop with something not too expensive to handle 6 of the 8 3MP cams that I have running at 15FPS and it only records when BI detects certain level of motion. I don't have plans to run continuous recording on any of the cams, there is no reason for it. Would...

I am getting tired of dealing with IR light ghosting from couple LTS cams I bought back before I learned about EXIR. So I am looking to replace the 2MP so so units with 4MP+ units with best IR+night image combo. Any suggestions for around $100 per cam shipped? I have HiK 2CD2232-I5 4MM version...

I need three different cameras for three different situations (all cameras will be used with BI, PTZ controlled from BI): Fixed - PoE, very good night sensitivity, strong EXIR, under $100. 4mm and 6mm options. H265 a must...

I can't seem to be able to calm the motion capture during sunny days without making it unusable at night. This is 2MP 2.8MM cam. See the settings I am using. Would love to get some guidance on what I am going wrong

Any recommendations for 6MM H.265 3MP+ EXIR HiK camera? Maybe I can skip H.265, but at least would be nice to have 120DB WDR. Also, is there a list somewhere of trusted HiK vendors on AliExpress?

I have about one-acre property and long house with 3 entrances plus garage. I am up to 6 cameras and I still feel I don't have solid coverage. There are still large swaths of property not covered. Not really worried about crime, because I am in a safe neighborhood. I am just the kind of person...

I have couple older Foscam PTZs and I really don't care for their reliability. THey are mounted in outside enclosures with IR turned off. Would be nice to get a PTZ camera or two that is bit more reliable and hopefully higher resolution. >$150 would be ideal, but I realize I might be dredging...

I am using BI on older Asus Zenbook with Intel Core i5 2557M and 8GB of RAM. Issue is that I just got 3 more 3MP IP cams and since 5 cams were maxing out CPU at 3MP and 10FPS, I am not even going to try to do 8x of them. Especially when I have a lot of shadows moving from trees, it just cooks...
