Thank you as usual. You are always super helpful and give easy to follow answers.

That is a great point. I will use the cameras OSD settings. How do I disable the blue iris feature of reencoding and adding it?

So I am trying to perfect my camera settings in blue iris and i noticed I have both blue iris and hikvision camera settings showing the OSD time stamps and names. So I was curious which is better to use if i am using blue iris as my nvr? It seems like a silly question but I am curious of others...

Yes but I set to none because I figured I’d rather have th mainstream than substream and figured both set would be double the processing power?

I was able to get the cameras found under the nvr by disabling encryption on the nvr. However blue iris for 13 cameras is maxing out cpu usage for an i3 13100t

okay so onvif wasn’t enabled on the cameras .. oops lol. So it’s now it’s on and find /inspects works. It shows data but no signal for selected camera which I can manually check with vlc as 101. And I see data . Just no signal.

hi So should onvif port be set at 80 or 8000. Also the syntax for the main stream line? It defaults too that when I select that drop down which says 7616 in it which is our nvr (Ds-7616ni-k2/18p).

Hey so for just testing the network is flat and 192.168.1.x for all devices. Nvr is plugged into a switch we have and all devices as well then switch to gateway. However I cannot get blueiris tk find the nvr. What am I doing wrong? I can access the nvr via browser at 192.168.1.102 so the static...

Then just plug the uplink port of the nvr into one port the windows server? Will blue iris still be able to work its magic without the gateways present in the nvr?

maybe I am misremembering it and you are right that the hikvision nvr is in the Sam subnet as the rest of the network and the cameras have some funky ip address setup. Can the nvr record ip cameras not plugged directly into it? Just curious because say for some crazy reason we do want to phase...

What if the nvr is not set to a static ip because I don’t think my buddy would have set it to a different subnet which it is as its like 192.168.254.255 , I think he just plugged in and it did some sort of setup on its own. So it may be set to use dhcp which case the ip of the nvr would change...

My buddy has a Hikvision nvr currently and it’s been pretty reliable however he doesn’t like the video exporting and I’ve used blue iris on the past and recommended it. I’m curious though I prefer to keep his hikvision nvr as is but also use a server I setup for him as his blue iris instance...

Thank you all for the replies. All good info and gives me a lot to think about.

I am going to add a security system to compliment my cameras. I have 3 doors and 8 windows I want to add sensors to and two keypad panels one by my upstairs door and one by my downstairs. My primary goal is to get phone notifications when someone enters or leaves the house by tripping a door or...

That’s a great idea. I forgot I could mount to a small piece of wood and wedge in there’s to test. It’s actually hidden vent vinyl soffit but still has some wiggle room to do what your saying.

That was actually my first thought since the center really is the best placement for a camera like this but but it’s just too much right there with the floodlight crammed right behind it. Wife still wants the aesthetics to be nice despite my need for security cameras lol.

You think I might be better off just putting a turret there?

I have a DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL that I am planning to Mount under my soffit but I started to worry that my floodlight will drown out the image. It’s about 2400 lumens and as you can see in the pic it’s in the center of the garage door and the camera will go To the right in the farthest corner...

?

I’d be curious why they didn’t use the 1/1.2 sensor. Maybe to save money or a technical reason behind the choice and the switch to IR.

So you would choose this over the regular 8mp colobus cameras with the 1.2 sensors?

Anyone try this camera out yet? This YouTube review looks promising:

Did anyone buy this yet? I have to admit the YouTube review on it , the ir mode looked crystal clear. In fact I’d probably keep it in IR so the 8mp at 1/1.8 might suffice. If it had 1/1.2 it would be a no brainer to get imo. I found some on aliexpress for about 165 so not to bad.

Yea I probably look like a crazy person at this point haha. But yea I’m just trying to gather as much info as possible before buying some more cams and yea size was something that turned me off for the current hikvisions I have. And surprisingly the hik catalog doesn’t list size and I struggle...

So I’m looking for the smallest turret camera options with 1/1.8” sensors or worst case 1/2.8 sensor but usable night time viewing. What’s the best options? Open to any brand but would shoot for 4mp and up in resolution. Size less that 4 inches in diameter is a plussss.

Hey so Ive installed my hik cameras and they have been working good but I have to admit the size of them is pretty large and not very aesthetic even when ceiling mounted from soffit in the corners. Was the color4k-t noticeably smaller? From the specs it looks like maybe an inch difference which...

So let me ask you this. Is the sensor the same in the color4k-X (I think that’s the 4mp version) and the latest 4mp ir version such that they both can see color the same at night when the led or ir is disabled? Or does the color one have a different processor and software to make nighttime color...

Why keep in a box lol? The idea sounded good but I guess the implementation is crap. Side ranger: Personally I always had hikvision but I’ve read so many cctv companies that have been hik guys switching over to dahua because of This ir/led features. I guess it’s just all hype. Maybe I should...

which 4mp model has both IR for super low light conditions and all full color at night/led?
