Hello all, I found a location on Intel's website that allows me to filter on Xeon chips that have QuickSync built in. Does this means that these Xeon chips will work as well as or better than I3, i5 and i7s that also have quicksync for BlueIris? Thanks a bunch and happy new year.

I used it again to create a hook grabber thingy. I tape a curled hanger and the camera to the end of a 10 foot PVC pipe and went into a finished wall to find the other end of a fish line. It was 8 feet or so away from the small entry point I created (1.25 inch in diameter). Couldn't have done...

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Well I have some great news. I was able to use the camera to find the choke point. Without the camera I wouldn't have been able to do it. I used the camera 4 different ways: 1) Attached the camera to 10 feet of CPVC and used the piping to get the camera from the basement upto the 2nd story...

Yeah - I was worried about this too. I tried this one instead. Hoping it works a little better.

Hello all, Does anyone know of a pin hole camera that I can use to see what is inside a wall? I am constantly catching on something and am not sure what it is? I am trying to use the "tunnel" that my HVAC return uses since it connects the attic to the basement and is a great conduit to run...

Mischa, This is a motorized zoom camera with the ability to manually change the Pan and Tilt settings.

Anyone have an opinion on this question? I have attached some images to show what I mean. When I say the image is rotated, I mean the setting in BI. For the camera, the IR emitter underneath the lens is camera at 0 degrees. Camera rotated 270 is IR emitters to the left of the lens (3...

These are pictures from the elbow facing the house. I wanted to put the camera right over the door, but it will not look very good so I have agreed to hang it from the ceiling right above the door. It is 9.5 - 10 feet off the ground

I zoomed in a little in hopes of getting a little more details from the framing.

Here is an example of the area with me holding the camera at roughly the location and angle where it will be installed. I obviously need to cut back the tree on the right side. This is the camera at default settings with the image rotated 270 degrees (this keeps the IR emitters furthest from...

Very good - makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot. Said another way - the living room is not where you want to be identifying the intruder. That needs to be done before they get in the house.

Can you please expand a little bit here? What types of things would be wrong with his surveillance system?

Maybe I missed a suggestion here. What did you have in mind with a "conduit"?

I have seen some ceiling mount solutions that look really nice. Either way if I have the wire from the ceiling outside of the wall, then I will have a bit of an eyesore. I absolutely want this to look nice which is why I am looking at other options. I have a PFB203W in hand and have been...

I have actually. That is my current plan, but wanted to see if there were other options and figured a ceiling mount + a junction box would work too.

The camera I am trying to mount above the door is the IPC-HDW5231R-Z. I believe this is the appropriate mount for it no?

I am playing around with framing my picture and FOV. It seems the best install point is about 1.5 feet below the ceiling. Wiring through the ceiling is far easier than the vertical wall. I was thinking of using a ceiling mount to bridge that 1.5 foot gap and not have to fight through the wall...

Is there a ceiling mount like PFB300C that is compatible with the PFA137? Dahua Technology PFB300C Ceiling Mount Bracket #DAPFB300C

I know you're supposed to install the camera with the IR lights underneath the lens, but I get a better framing when I have the IR lights beside the lens (ie. 90 degree turn). Does anyone see an issue with installing it this way? PS - I know you can flip the orientation of the camera using the...

What I am finding is that when the camera is mounted as high as possible (about 10 feet off the ground), then I am having issues getting the picture framed to capture the person approaching the door. Either I can get him far away or I can get him close to the door, but not both. The further...

Hello all, I am new to this game and doing my best to catch up quickly. I am using a Blue Iris setup and playing around with a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z that I got from Andy a week or so ago. My front door has a natural choke point that is 15 feet long and 5 or so feet wide. I have had some...

My uneducated opinion is that your shutter speed is too slow. The road is in focus because it doesn't move.

I had the same issue, the camera seems to be working fine, but an incorrect MAC address is a little disconcerting. Anyone have any ideas why the MAC address in the camera is different than the one on the base?

I answered my own question: 1) The above link is the correct one. It installs the Dahua Toolbox. 2) To login to the Toolbox, you will need to create a login and activate the account. 3) From there, you install the Config App/Config Tool. See the attached image. 4) You start the config app...

Hey guys, I am looking for the Dahua config app. I have found a few links, but none of them are called the "Config App". I think this is the most likely culprit, but want to confirm 100% before continuing. Toolbox I also want to make sure that, assuming it is the Config App, this is the...

OK - once I connect it to a POE camera's audio input, do I need to run a separate audio line back to the NVR/BI box or does audio come across Cat6 as well?

For POE cameras that are audio enabled, do you have to run a separate line for audio or does it come over cat6 as well?

Is this an ideal camera for LPR? I am at the end of a long driveway (200+ feet) with no lighting. I am assuming I want the Z12, not the Z5. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Answer is in this post from the thread. If I can find it than so can you since I just learned how to search within a thread.
