    My 9+ Year Journey For Accurate CCTV Alerts

    Nine years ago, I hired a security installer from Yelp who recommended 14 basic 4MP cameras from ENS Security (IP-5IR4002VFZ-W) and two PTZ cameras (IP-5PT96E2IR20X) for my home. The system was simple, lacking “smart” features, and its motion detection was unreliable, constantly triggered by...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Encode Mode Auto Resetting

    I have them connected to both Blue Iris & Unifi Protect in addition to the Dahua NVR5432-16P-I. I dont see any options to change the encode mode settings in either of those platforms. And Im using FireFox on both Mac & Windows. Will give it a try with Chrome right now just to see if that...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Encode Mode Auto Resetting

    I have a strange problem where I set the Encode Mode to H264 on the IPC-T5442TM-AS cams and then 5 minutes later it automatically changes back to H265. Strange this is this happens on multiple cameras. No matter how many times I set H264, a few minutes later it automatically changes to H265. Any...

    Network Debug Basics

    Wow thanks for that tip didn’t even consider rolling back BI to see if that’s the issue. Is there a certain release that you’re finding to be more stable than the latest? Just trying to avoid trying 15 different versions if there is a known good one.

    Network Debug Basics

    Lately, I've been having some problems with my live cam feeds lagging when being viewed remotely, and I'm a bit perplexed about how to even identify the source of the lag so that I can repair or replace whatever the issue may be. I'm running 16 hardwired cams with the latest Blue Iris 5 with...

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    If you don't mind me asking, what app are you using? Maybe the NVR app I was using is outdated and I need to try something new.

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    I've been running both a Dahua WizMind NVR & Blue Iris for the past 5+ years and I've spent an estimated 200+ hours tinkering with Blue Iris over that time and have upgraded both my cameras and NVR and of course stayed on top of Blue Iris changes. For me, the #1 thing I wanted when I installed...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Your experience is abnormal, likely due to a configuration error on your side. Ubiquity has probably 10+ million active customers (Okay I made that up) who have been using them daily in both a residential to enterprise setup for years without any major issues. I have most of their products and...

    Dahua AcuPick

    This is soo sad but honestly true. Ugh. My guess is that you are correct. How useful is it to track the wife or kids around various cameras in the house? I guess it would be cool to track guests or strangers around, but as you said, in a home environment with limited cams its probably a...

    Dahua AcuPick

    Does anyone have an AcuPick enabled NVR & Camera that can provide some unbiased feedback on just how useful this AI feature actually is and if they feel it was worth the upgrade? Specifically I am wondering how well the accuracy is and if it requires face-level cameras to accurately work or...

    3D Positioning in Blue Iris

    Is anyone else having problems with the 3D Positioning feature in Blue Iris? Any recommended troubleshooting steps to try? I have the SD5A425XA-HNR from Andy @ EmpireTech and everything works great, when I am using the NVR I can drag a red box around the POI and it will center in on that box...

    Look for a human tracking Dahua PTZ camera.

    I have the Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ that I bought from Andy @ EmpireTech about 2 years ago, specifically for the Auto PTZ feature and I must say that it works VERY well. I'm not using spotter cams (although I should give that a try one day) but again just wanted to...

    Incredible Performance With the Intel NUC 12

    My old i7-6700 finally started to crap out after 7 years of running 24/7 so after some research I decided to get the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Edition from B&H Photo & Video which has the i7-12700H and threw in 64GB Ram along with a Gen4 NVMe all for around 2K shipped overnight. It's...

    FTP Backups

    I have FTP backups configured in BI Settings to my NAS and have a base folder set as "/BlueIris/Stored/" which passes the test successfully. Now when I go to Clips & Archiving and set up the New folder to queue for backup, do I need to enter "/BlueIris/Stored/" again or would that resort in...

    Cancel Alerts For Known Faces

    Thanks for the heads up and this makes sense why it's not widely talked about here, just needs some more time for the feature to mature before giving it a shot. Any ideas on how to prevent 5-10 alerts when someone is passing by 5-10 cameras to take the trash out and all of them are giving push...

    Cancel Alerts For Known Faces

    Currently, have BI + DeepStack running and for the most part, it works great but it's annoying when a family member walks outside to take the trash out thus walking by 6 different cameras and setting the alerts off like crazy. I'd like to receive alerts only when an unknown face is detected but...

    SMD on the NVR5432

    I have the NVR5432-16P-I that I bought from Andy with 16 cameras like the IPC-T5442TM-AS and SD5A425XA-HNR along with some older ONVIF cameras. I am trying to enable SMB for one of my older cameras (IP-5IR4002VFZ-W) and I can see its properly detecting motion with the yellow box around the...

    NVR5432-16P-I Recording Schedule

    Update: Figured out the problem so posting here in case someone else runs into the same issue. For the NVR schedule, I only had MD&Alarm + IVS selected (Thinking MD&Alarm = Motion Detection & Alarm) and that wasn't recording anything. When I switched to the "Motion + Alarm + IVS" selection...

    NVR5432-16P-I Recording Schedule

    Those screenshots were in Chrome. I download SmartPSS and also configured the schedule and rebooted the NVR, still its either record 24x7 or don't record at all. Screenshot: https://i.gyazo.com/6ce1fc300577582e835ca71f7ff24b1d.jpg

    NVR5432-16P-I Recording Schedule

    Hey guys I recently switched from a 16 Camera Blue Iris setup to the Dahua NVR5432-16P-I from Andy and I'm trying to set it to record motion/alarm/IVS events only but with "General" selected in the recording schedule it records every 24x7 and if I turn that off leaving MD&Alarm+IVS it appears...

    Newbie here - Recommendations for good PTZ camera

    If your looking for just a basic NVR expect to pay around $250. If your looking for something with some advanced AI to filter false alerts..etc expect to pay up to $1200 (not including HD). Really depends on your budget and goals. Of course with a lower budget there will be sacrifices...

    BI 5.3.1.0 Update

    The latest update 5.3.1.0 caused all 16 of my cameras to suddenly say RTSP not authorized however reverting back to 5.3.0.3 immediately fixed everything. I'm 100% positive the user/pass was correct and streams were available both internally and externally as expected and absolutely no settings...
