Can anyone help me identify the model, please? The pic is blurry just enough for that bit to be lost. I don't see anything like this in the current line-up - something oldish? Advance thanks!

Let's say, I'm going to put a NVR/DVR/PC in a box that's protected from water but not from cold. Why do I not care whether it's going be a NVR, DVR or a PC? Because I am looking for a budget cold-resistant solution and everything else will follow from that. Obviously, it's not a problem to find...

After setting one of my cams to continuous recording AND waiting for a few days, I noticed a weird issue, specifically: If I don't delete any clips from the system, older clips and alerts start disappearing on their own in a couple days, no longer than that. But when I look at the...

I've been using TinyCam for a few months now, and I think, it's a very well thought-out app. One area that's giving me trouble, though, is false positives. I'll be as specific as I can: In-app motion detection Video source: Blue Iris / v4 / H264 Sensivity: 35 Now, it would make sense to...

Has anyone seen the app disconnect while in the background? Basically, it logs into the server alright and works the way it's supposed to, but when the phone is left unattended, it blanks out, and after a while I can be sure that the app has disconnected. I tried the Automatically Log In...

I'm trying to manage the timestamps my Dahua DVR includes in RTSP streams. Somehow, there are no timestamps in the DVR's video port output, but they do show up in RTSP. Any ideas, please?

Hello everyone. I've run into a serious backlight problem with a camera that doesn't support backlight compensation. While getting one that does is a sound piece of advice, I would appreciate something more software-related. So, Question 1 is - am I right in thinking that with Blue Iris, I'm...

Hello everyone. Let's say, I'm running a paranoid setup which only allows for web access to my Blue Iris installation. In other words, I can use the web interface, but that's it - the machine is not accessible from the outside otherwise, nor do I want it to be, VPN or no VPN. Now, I'm thinking...

Hello everyone. First off, I am aware, thanks to this forum, that I can use continuous recording while leaving Motion Detection on, which will let me navigate the resulting clips afterwards. Now, let's say, I have to use continuous recording because I'm not confident in the motion detection...

Hello. I have seen somewhere on this board that endoscopes are unusable for video surveillance purposes because of their F distance. Could someone please clarify how exactly the F will affect what I see through an endoscope pointed into a room? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I'm looking at these two: IPC-HUM8431-L4 and IPC-HUM8431-L1 Am I right in thinking that while the latter requires a base (E1), the former is self-sufficient and can be connected to an NVR directly? The latter is roughly $120 more expensive vs. the former - is that the price of...

Hello everyone. I've been reading about AHD as a [slightly better] alternative to regular analog cams. I do understand, IP cams deliver better quality, but I'm limited to analog at this point. It says on the web that AHD is compatible with some DVRs, but not the others. However, AFAIK Blue Iris...

I'm looking at an IP cam where it says in the description "PoE Optional". I don't have much experience with this, so am really at a loss - does that mean "no PoE out of the box"?
