    Turret vs Bullet IR / Overall Performance Difference

    I've read through a bunch of posts and seems to be common knowledge that bullet's have better performance (generally) than turrets. I have a few areas turrets seem to be a better form factor. I'm curious what real world tradeoffs are for the latest models? Thank you

    Mounting a PFA121 on top of column / angle options?

    I would like to mount another camera next to my ANPR on the top surface of the column. Right now the ANPR is zoomed in for car license plate so my companion camera will be to monitor people walking past. It would have to be slightly angled down as the column is high and the road is downhill...

    IPC-HDBW4431F-AS: IR Leds Stopped Working

    I have 8 or so of the IPC-HDBW4431F-AS wedge cameras. On two of them the IR leds have stopped working. I do hear the cameras go into "night" mode with a click. Just no IR. Wondering if there is a known issue or fix I might try. Thank you!

    Playback Seek Lag & Freeze

    Using BI4 when opening a clip the initial play (from 0:00) will play fine. When seeking to a time in the clip it lags really hard, maybe 30-40 sec then plays from the timestamp unreliably. It will maybe play for 3sec then skips time, or more often freezes entirely. If I seek back to beginning of...

    Hardware Decoding Saving As "No"

    I was able to successfully set my first few cameras as YES+VPP for hardware decoding. Now I have 10 cameras setup and all of them (even the first 3) say "NO" even when I save them as "VES+VPP". Tried to set it globally in setting but cant save the individual cameras as DEFAULT either. Tried...

    Ghosting/Tearing Issue HDBW4431F-AS

    I recently bought a HDBW4431F-AS that I've only setup using the web gui. I've noticed that I have really bad ghosting/tearing when I view the camera in live view. Only turning off 3d NR seems to help but the picture is really unusable. Any ideas what I could try or am missing?

    Varifocal single point?

    I'm drinking the dahua 2mp koolaid thanks to the awesome reviews @nayr took the time to share. Flame me if you want but I'd like to just confirm that varifocal is mainly used to zoom in on a fixed point. Any other area (corners) would be done through digital means. If I wanted to zoom in a...

    2mp vs 4mp Indoor

    I've read through the posts and I'm coming to the conclusion the 2mp starlight are superior for outdoor cameras. My curiosity is whether the same benefit would apply indoors. We are installing cameras mainly to monitor our babysister and children inside. One camera is going in the nursery to...

    22 x 4mp Cam Server Build

    I've been reading a lot about the resources necessary to run blue iris, especially in 20+ camera situations. I'm kinda stuck with blue iris since I'm using triggers from motion for my Homeseer automation system. I'd like some feedback about the hardware to use. I was thinking I should use some...
