If you are looking for something like a cube I replaced all my indoor cameras a little while back with Hik cubes DS-2CD2435FWD-IW. I would have preferred Dahua but these cubes fit better where I was installing and I think they blended in better. Before I replaced all I did do some testing with...

I have three IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras all running firmware 2.460.0000000.16.R, Build Date: 2017-09-04. Two of the three seem to loose time a couple times a week for about an hour. They are all configured to use the same NTP server which is actually a load balanced IP managed by the router they...

It's been running completely stable since I started using it. I only paid $220 for the T30's I have so I don’t have any motivation to replace it since it’s working fine. It’s unlikely I would ever buy one for this purpose unless there was some need to have a hardware support/maintenance...

The numbers were local. With or without vpp didn't seem to make a difference. Seems to stay right around 20% +/-2. All CAMs have object detection enable and couple with zone crossing configure. I don't recall what all was change from default since I started with importing the last reg export...

Due to an hardware failure I needed a quick box to get a BI server back up. The only thing I had laying around was a few dell T30's. I have seen a couple threads asking about running Blue Iris on a T30 so I figured I would post what my results were so far. The main specs of the T30 I used...

I experienced the pixelated rainbow issue recently. It only effected a single foscam R2 camera. The other 6 cams linked are all dahua or hik cams, they weren’t effect. I’m running BI on a box with a MSI board, intel 4600 graphics, I7 4th gen, server 2016. It started about a week after I...

Andy, is there an actual PAL & NTSC version of the IPC-HDW5231R-Z or is it just dependent on the firmware used? I notice the three IPC-HDW5231R-Z I have show video standard NTSC in web interface the which makes me assume I would use the second firmware listed below. I'm using blue iris as my...

I'm not having issues but I have all my CAM blocked from accessing anything and isolated on their own LAN. One thing I noticed on my IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras is they attempt to connect out to the internet all the time. From monitoring with Wireshark they continually attempt to resolve...

I normally wouldn't care to much about speed except we have seen a high increase in people breaking into cars and shooting car windows out with BB guns. I went ahead and place an order for a starlight varifocal turret from Ali/empire. In the meantime I may try to rig up a temporary...

More then willing to pay the extra cost for one so I can verify they will work out and plan accordingly. I just have next week free if I could get one to test out. I'm more then willing to wait for an order to replace all the cams if it pans out to save cost.

I'm probably going to order a single starlight turret varifocal to test. Is there one that has a onboard mic? Is there any places in the US to order these with quick shipping? The places I have found look to be coming from overseas with a 6-15 day ship time. Also who is Andy everyone seems...

I have and they look great compared to what I have now. But, I also bought the ones I have because I saw some pretty good sample video at night, evidently in better lighting conditions then I have.

I have tried that with no improvment. Its all running over shielded Cat 6.

I have several outdoor cameras running, Trendnet TV-IP314PI, Trendnet TV-IP310PI, and Dahua IPC-HFW1320S cameras. The Trendnet cameras are 4mm and the Dahua is 3.6mm. During the day they work flawlessly. At night time the quality seems subpar. I have done a lot of different setting...

I updated the camera firmware and it seemed to be working for a while. I never noticed the noise return but it stopped responding completely earlier this afternoon. Cant get any lights on the cam and the PoE switch isn't recognizing a it as connected. I swapped it with another cam on the...

Didn't really think it would be a firmware issues since all three are running the same configuration and firmware, only one is doing this. I see there is a newer 5.4 firmware for the camera so I'm going to update the camera having issues to see if it makes any difference. I'm starting to...

I have a few Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW cams that have been working for a long time without issues. Today one of them started making noise like it's possessed, two separate occasions about two hours apart. The sound coming from the camera is very crackly almost high pitch tone that cycles from...

Not sure if you have check/tried this but the default power plan on most, if not all, versions of windows is balanced. Running high performance plan can reduce CPU utilization. In my case a balanced plan runs at 60-70%, high performance runs around 5-10%. This is running Server 2008 R2 on a...
