    GoSwift 4K Bullet - Buyer Beware (Nelly's Security)

    Hi C hris527, I don't have a definitive answer for you since I basically stopped buying that particular camera. However, anecdotally I will say that after testing a few of these in different scenarios here what I think (just my theory). The camera seems to perform well if it's physically...

    New 4K PTZ 20X Optical Zoom from Alptop - Surprisingly good camera at $329

    Hey Warptooper... I don't have any additional information on the sensor....but I've attached an example screenshot. As I mentioned in my review, I've run the gamut on price...from several thousand dollars (Hikvision), to this at three hundred dollars. If you know of a 4K PTZ camera with...

    New 4K PTZ 20X Optical Zoom from Alptop - Surprisingly good camera at $329

    Hey everyone, I hope you are all coping with the current craziness! Back in 2018, I posted a review of the 4K Hikvision which had great performance characteristics but at a quite hefty price tag and extremely large and heavy footprint. Since then, I've been scouring the web for ANY alternatives...

    Overlay and Direct to disc recording

    Hello fenderman, Just so I'm clear, are you referring to the "Settings/Clips and Archiving" section where you configure export? The checkbox called "Add the camera's current text and graphic overly" seems to be the only one that makes sense. However, if I check that box and hit ok, it comes...

    IOS App skipping cameras when swiping....

    Hi Folks...maybe this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a reference. I use the IOS App on my iPhone10s Max, latest version of the app and logging in as administrator. When I scroll through the cameras on the main preview screen (where you see live feed thumbnails on the left and...

    Where are all the 4K PTZ's????

    Hey bigredfish...in what ways do you mean? Are you talking about low-light performance? or something else?

    Where are all the 4K PTZ's????

    Glad to see some folks chiming in here...Thanks Guys!!! Yeah, I saw that Dahua camera and like the specs...but it's the same bulky form factor as my monster Hik-vision (although a little less in cost). Given that 4K sensors seem to be popping up everywhere in bullet cameras (and only for a $150...

    Where are all the 4K PTZ's????

    Wow...no replies??? I am surprised that no one has an opinion on this? Maybe this is only important to me....but that seems very strange. Still, this is is kind of the same "crickets" response I got about a year ago, so maybe that should be my first clue! :D I will just keep looking online to...

    Where are all the 4K PTZ's????

    Hey folks...Happy Halloween to everyone! I've asked about this almost every 12 months or so, but thought I would ping the community again to get some feedback. I have been constantly on the look-out for some new products that feature 4K with PTZ capability. I find it strange that even now (it's...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Hey everyone....I decided to finally migrate my dedicated BI machine to v5. I had been testing the new version on my desktop for a week or so and everything was looking good...so I thought now was the time. Unfortunately, this one did NOT go smoothly. I don't really know why because I did the...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    Update from my post of yesterday.... After first backing up settings I then uninstalled BI4. Then when I loaded up the new V5, the settings were indeed gone. But it was a simple matter of importing the saved settings to restore all my camera and web settings. One quick note, when I loaded up...

    Blue Iris 4 to 5 Migration Guide

    I also made the leap (finally) today September 28 2019. Smooth as silk, although I have yet to uninstall BI4, so we'll see after that. New interface takes some getting used to, and to be honest...it was one of the reasons I was holding off (old dog, new tricks kind of thing). Anyway, I decided I...

    Perle ethernet extension over copper. Could be useful to some.

    Hey Holbs, thanks for getting back to me! I won't be able to identify the rating on the cable until I get back to the property. But in any case, I am very excited to explore this option. I've ordered a couple already!

    Perle ethernet extension over copper. Could be useful to some.

    Hey Holbs...I just saw this and it looks cool! Potentially enables a scenario that I've been trying to find a solution for. So you are saying...if there is a phone cable already in place, that (with two of these)...you can turn it into an ethernet connection? Is that right, or am I mis-reading...

    GoSwift 4K Bullet - Buyer Beware (Nelly's Security)

    Hey Folks...in fairness to Nelly's I just want to say that I was able to talk to Sean and we discussed the issues I have been having. No resolution yet, but at least we were able to connect and discuss next steps (a bit more testing and then return/exchange if needed). But both Sean and I...

    Hi Sean... I'm glad to see you jump so quickly on this! It feels more like the Nelly's I have come to know. I'd appreciate talking to you directly, so let's do that!

    GoSwift 4K Bullet - Buyer Beware (Nelly's Security)

    Hey there... Yes I agree with you, I always assume first that it's potentially something on my end and can tell you that I have thoroughly tested (and repro'd) these faults in several different test environments including 3 separate physical locations and on different hardware configs. As...

    GoSwift 4K Bullet - Buyer Beware (Nelly's Security)

    Hey folks.... I normally don't try to trash on companies especially when I've had good history with them. But, I've gone through all the proper channels and not received any response so I'm here to do my part to prevent others from wasting their money. About 3 months ago, Nelly's Security...

    Blue Iris and Minimum Upload Speed - For Playing Alerts Remotely

    Thanks bp2008, I definitely spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out on my own before pinging you folks! But I try to "self serve" as much as possible plus I always relish figuring stuff out! But this was a case of "WTF" and I just got stuck. And since we've had sooooo much snow...

    Blue Iris and Minimum Upload Speed - For Playing Alerts Remotely

    Hey Fenderman!!!! The bvr setting did the trick! Thank you very much! I'd be curious as to how/why this was the issue? Again, many thanks!

    Blue Iris and Minimum Upload Speed - For Playing Alerts Remotely

    Just so I am clear...we are talking about the "Web server - Advanced" window right? In that window I've clicked on the configure button and tried settings all the way down to 128 kbps. No effect I'm afraid.

    Blue Iris and Minimum Upload Speed - For Playing Alerts Remotely

    I'm using chrome and it works silky smooth with my other 2 installs, so I know that's working. And yes, it does the same thing on the Mobile App. If I click on an alert, it just continuously shows the spinning progress wheel, and never displays anything. I can get back to the main "Cameras"...

    Blue Iris and Minimum Upload Speed - For Playing Alerts Remotely

    Thanks fenderman, I tried both tests and it's still exhibiting the same behavior. Another piece of info...when I hover the mouse over the thumbnails for the alerts, they also pause/hang UI3. In some cases, if I hover over the thumbnail and leave the cursor on top of it for a while, it will...

    Blue Iris and Minimum Upload Speed - For Playing Alerts Remotely

    Greetings everyone...from Frosty North Bend WA where we still have over 3 feet of snow on the ground! I have a Blue Iris install operating at a new property we intend to build on, and pretty much everything works fine using UI3. But, whenever I go to play an alert or a clip I get the orange...

    4.7.8 - August 28, 2018 - Support for the Nvidia CUDA hardware decoding

My Blue Iris install has 35 cameras with ranging from some 1080p PTZs, all the way up to 4K. Half of...

    Hardware Recommendation - 30 4MP Cameras

    Hey there... First things first....bp2008 is the man, and better than most at zeroing in on the sweet spot (frames per second/data rate). The calculation he's doing relates to just how much total data the CPU has to process at any given time and the one you are describing should work just fine...
