    Can't wake screen from sleep

    Thanks, will give some of these suggestions a try. I've tried so many different articles I can't remember which ones. I have a hunch it might be the bios update. It seems to have started happening after the SSD failed and I reinstalled the OS on a new SSD.

    Can't wake screen from sleep

    I'm running a Dell Optiplex with windows 10 and BlueIris as a windows service but every day or 2 it seems that I can't wake the screen from sleep. I have to force shut down with the power button and restart the computer. Anyone have this issue? Is it blueiris or windows? I've tried various...

    4mp Starlights soon?

    Thanks. I guess ill wait a little longer, it sounds like new releases are happening now. It turns out I actually have a 4mp hikivision, I thought it was 2mp: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0186U83ZE/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - I removed the dome cover to see if it would...

    4mp Starlights soon?

    I remember seeing some talk about 4mp starlights might be coming out soon but can't find anything recently about it. Does anyone know if Dahua will be making any new releases soon? Or maybe it was ultra starlight? Something with the low light performance of the 2mp turrets that everyone loves...

    Seeing double - New Dahua dual Starlight IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M/M12

    Anyone try one of these yet? I'm debating between waiting for this or using a starlight varifocal turret above my front door.

    Help in selecting a new camera...

    Thanks. Good point about glare, I'll have to look into that, maybe something changed causing it to start happening. I was looking at the mechanical zoom model because I'm thinking I could use a slightly tighter view on the 2nd camera since there is some overlap from the other one. It looks like...

    Help in selecting a new camera...

    I'm also considering changing the Hikvision mini dome (the high camera above the door) to the Dahua starlight turret. It is a little larger than the hik mini dome but I think if I paint it, it will still blend in. Just not sure if I'll see much of a difference in image/low light quality.

    Help in selecting a new camera...

    I want to replace my current Hikvision mini bullet with a new camera but it is a somewhat odd location. Due to my HOA I'm not supposed to mount cameras on the exterior of the building. I did it anyway with one camera and painted it to blend in. That one has been fine and no one has really...

    Working with Alerts

    I can't figure out why I'm still seeing alert clips in the alerts panel for Motion A events even though I've turned alerts off for A. Screenshot attached. Ideally I'd like to have the alerts panel on the right only show me Motion B events and not Motion A events. Is that possible? I was able...

    Windows 10 Clean Install - Delete Partitions?

    Thanks. I think I've got BlueIris running pretty well. With BlueIris and SightHound running my CPU usage is at 17% however I also have a TV plugged into the PC and was trying to run a dashboard (actiontiles.com) with MJPEG streams of all the cameras on it in Chrome. When I open that CPU usage...

    Windows 10 Clean Install - Delete Partitions?

    Trying to do a clean install on a Dell Optiplex SSD. I'm using the SSD that came with it but I'm not sure what to do with all of these partitions... Should I delete them or just click "next" to install? I don't want to delete anything that may be needed but would like to be able to utilize the...

    New Starlight Mini PTZ

    Yeah, thats fine. I have another camera with IR in the area and an external IR. This is for a somewhat odd location where I'm trying to place it on top of an out door lamp post due to HOA regulations in a townhome not letting me mount on the outside of the building :-\

    New Starlight Mini PTZ

    I just noticed this PTZ on Dahua's site: 2MP 4x PTZ – Dahua North America It looks interesting. Has anyone tried it yet or know where to get it from? It says "new" on their site but I'm not sure how new it is. I found this one on eBay: Dahua SD22204T-GN 2MP Full HD 4x Optical Zoom POE Network...

    Cables needed for WD Purple Drive?

    Yeah, from my research on here a few people have been velcroing the SSD to the bottom of the case so I think I can make them fit, just not sure about a bracket for the WD Purple or cables.

    Cables needed for WD Purple Drive?

    I just purchased an Optiplex 3050 SFF (i7-7700) with a 128GB SSD from the Dell Outlet store. I have a WD Purple 4TB drive on the way also, is there anything else I will need to install it? The optiplex has an optical drive I could remove but not sure if I can repurpose those connections for...
