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.

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...

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

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...

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...

I can find threads all day long, but I want to find a particular post inside of a thread that has 140 pages in it and I can't get the search to go lower than the thread level. Thanks.

I will likely try to use my laptop for a BI machine since I just found out that my chip is probably good enough. As a result, I will be hooking up a WD purple drive using an external enclosure. I have a Dell M6700 so it has USB 3.0 and eSata connection. Which is the better way to go and can...

Hello all, I am evaluating whether to use a skylake processor or a haswell processor for a dedicated BI machine. I am having difficulty answering whether or not the 530 graphics would be better or worse for BI purposes. Does any have any wisdom to share? Thanks a lot.

Hello all, I am actively looking at the Netgear FS728TPv2 switch. It is one of the few switches that I have found that has all 24 ports support POE and has a power budget (195W) that has a chance at running 24 POE devices. Most switches that I have seen fail in one of two ways: 1) They don't...

I am actively checking Dell Outlet to try and find an Optiplex machine with an i7 chip. My intention is to run BI, but I am in no rush so I am waiting for the next coupon so I can save some money. The descriptions for the various machines have me confused and I want to make sure I don't make a...

Hello all, I have read numerous times about the recommendation to go to an i7 chip for Blue Iris. Any thoughts on how the Xeon chips would compare? They have a larger L3 cache, they support ECC RAM and they are generally chips used in servers vs an i7 which is generally a workstation chip...

Right now it is on sale for $600 and it seems like a really good deal. The full description is "HeritageHD Series 16-Channel 960H 2TB Video Surveillance System with (16) 900TVL Cameras and 100 ft. Night Vision". I know this isn't IP or even digital, but it gets me into the mix for a lot less...

Hello all, I tracked this picture down from Amazon and it shows what I think are the connectors for the audio and the alarm functions of the camera. Can someone please help me understand what type of cabling I need to use to make use of these functions and whether or not their use affects my...

Hello all, Let's take two products: Hikvision 2CD2132-I Hikvision 2CD2132F-IWS Their product numbers have 3 differences: 1) F 2) W 3) S It appears that they are identical except for three things: 1) Two way Audio 2) Two way Alarm 3) SD Card Slot Can I assume that each letter corresponds to...

I have a long shared driveway and my house has a straight on view of it. I would love to be able to capture license plates on approaching cars at night. I expect I will put a few Hikvision DS-2CD2332 cameras around the house. If I use one of them to track the shared driveway, from how far...

I am thinking of something like this, but want to make sure I am not missing something. I like that each port has 30W so that I can plug any POE camera (including PTZ) into it and guarantee that it has enough power. There are two things I don't like: 1) I have to waste one of the 8 ports to...

If I told you I wanted to run 10 cameras - probably 5 outside and 5 inside. The 5 inside might all be top-201. No idea what the outside ones would be yet. Would that scare you? Just trying to get a ball park. Not sure what I would do for data storage yet. I might write it to my NAS or I...

There is zero lighting in my neighbourhood so it is very dark. Whatever camera(s) I use for the outside need to have good IR capabilities and/or supplemental lighting. I already have some motion detection lights so I need to make sure they don't "wash out" the cameras I use. I want to add...

Leave a few lights on or to get a night vision camera?
