    Car Thief Crashes and Bails

    I was waiting until after the legal proceedings had concluded to post this. Enjoy. Edit: This was taken with a DAHUA IPC-HDW5830R-Z 8MP.

    Recent experience with Unifi cameras?

    I've searched and everything on the forum is dated. Wondering if anyone has good experience with the Unifi cameras, specifically the video quality of the G3 and G3 pro? I'm moving soon to a much bigger house and will have to overhaul my security setup. I currently use all Unifi networking...

    Attempted invasion of my neighbor's house

    This is infuriating. My neighbor's wife and young children were home when this son of a bitch tried to break in (and he knew it when he looked in the window, but he did it anyway). He tried to push through the door but gave up when she called upstairs and asked her husband (who wasn't home) to...

    Garbage truck takes out my neighbor's car

    With a bonus closeup from what used to be my LPR camera. These videos are from July. I shared the videos with their employer after it became clear they did not report the incident. The first video was taken by a Lorex 8MP 4K camera. The second video was taken by a Dahua HFW5231-Z5.

    BI showing higher frame rate than camera settings?

    The video settings for both of my Dahuas (FRONT, SOUTH) are identical and set at 20 FPS. BI is showing that one of them (FRONT) is 30 FPS, which is very strange. I just restarted everything and I'm still seeing it. Any ideas? I just installed the new version (4.6.4.9) but don't check these...

    Persons of interest in local shooting

    My footage made it into an MPD police video looking for persons of interest in a shooting. The first camera (B&W) is a Dahua HFW5231-Z5. The second one (color) is a Dahua HDW5231-R-Z. The video looks ok but the stills are terrible (even when apparently enhanced). I'm still working on dialing...

    Enhancing clarity of face on a still shot?

    Putting aside the question of camera settings, I'm curious if anyone has messed around with attempting to make a face in a captured image more clear / less blurry? I know that all the stuff on CSI is BS and I'm not asking about that, but there must be DSP algorithms that could improve the...

    Can't export/convert last ~20 seconds of file?

    I have a video I need to hand over to police. Unfortunately the part I need spans two .bvr files. I am able to export/convert to .mp4 the last part of the video (which is on the beginning portion of the second .bvr file) just fine. I am not, however, able to get the last 20 seconds of the first...

    Blue Iris mobile app not showing triggers for one camera

    Picture is attached. In case it matters, the camera for which triggers are not showing is a Lorex 8MP camera. The two that are showing alerts are Dahuas, but I've also had a Amcrest camera attached that did show triggers in the app. All the cameras are generally set up the same, and I can...

    strange error after changing recording locations

    I changed the locations of where New and Stored files were kept last night, and now am seeing the following notification that looks like an error message: I assume these relate to drives R: (where New files are kept) and S: (where Stored files are kept). As seen below, however, there don't...

    Bit rate on BI far less than camera settings?

    I have my cameras set at a pretty high bit rate (from 6656-10240 kb/s) but as seen below, the actual bit rate seen by BI is far less (~940-1300 kb/s). Anybody have any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

    Recommendation for front door camera (or settings) that will capture people who are walking/running

    I currently have an Amcrest Pro 4MP camera at the location below circled in red in the left picture. The right picture shows what the camera sees for reference. The picture seems ok, but when people are walking by or running it does not capture them clearly at all (I can barely make out my...

    Smaller mounting bracket for Dahua HFW5231E-Z5?

    I just ordered the Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5). Based on the specification, it looks like the mount is about 3.75" wide. I'm planning to put the camera in a location where I currently have a custom 3D printed mounting bracket, which is about 3" wide. It is on...

    Camera to capture license plates at 35-40 feet?

    New member and new to IP cameras. Have been super impressed with the knowledge on this board, and after searching could use some additional guidance from the gurus here. There have been some recent serious crimes around where I live (on the outskirts of Capitol Hill in Washington, DC), and I'd...
