    Any word if 1/1.8" sensor amcrest bullet cameras are going to be back in stock any time soon? I had my eye on different camera, but noticed amcrest bullet 1/1.8" sensor cameras. Amazon listing is only for 4 cameras with dvr

    What are your reasons not to buy Lorex E891AB

    Besides the obvious "out of my price range", "already have too many cameras", etc answers, why would you not buy Lorex E891AB? For my case/scenario it is a perfect fit, but I am looking for a reason not to buy couple of them. Assuming they would fit your needs and case/scenario, why would you...

    Will riser network cable handle florida's heat in the attic?

    Definitely using pure copper and none of that CCA. I was even thinking about running 23AWG CAT6 since it has thicker conductor. Price difference isn't that much, and over the years I have gotten used to cat6 being a bit more stubborn. As for attic getting hot, my only point of reference is hot...

    Just a regular riser cable?

    Will riser network cable handle florida's heat in the attic?

    Should I be concerned about running a riser network cable through the attic with florida's extreme heat? I ran riser cable through the attic in Pacific North West region and cable would get soft to the touch during summers, but here in Florida I feel like riser cable will just melt in extremely...

    LPR with HDView IP-5IR4080MZ-922

    Hmmm. In that case a different camera might be in order. Current camera's zoom maxes out at 22mm and picture provided is already with zoom maxed out. I just might trying to move camera closer as explained in original post, but hopefully weird angle doesn't make more problems. Thank you for...

    LPR with HDView IP-5IR4080MZ-922

    Trying my luck at getting LPR with IP-5IR4080MZ-922 by HDView (Amazon Link) but not getting a good result. Camera is setup on a warehouse wall with car traffic passing about 110ft from the camera. Angle to the passing cars and license plates should be around 30-35 degrees. The distance can be...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    Upon closer inspection today I realized that one solder connection came loose, probably when I was putting camera back together. After re-soldering and a bit of hot glue later, behold the result. [ 4] local 192.168.1.1 port 5001 connected with 192.168.1.47 port 45968 [ ID] Interval...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    So shot in a dark here. Removed original antenna on one of the cameras and soldered one antenna linked above. Can't really tell the difference. Both cameras (one with new and one with original antennas) do about the same in iperf, although neither produce steady results (from 200 Kbits/s to...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    20mhz is already set on 2.4 band and access point is fixed to channel 11 (low to no congestion). This camera works great with cat5 plugged in, but over wifi with access point without 10 feet with clear line if sight is just horrendous. At work we have one of the Reolinks (i think) wifi cameras...

    WiFi issues, drop outs.

    Has there been an update on 2CD2442FWD and wifi issues? Main reason I got 2CD2442FWD was for thew wifi but dropouts and signal losses are getting to a high of a number. Been thinking about replacing internal antenna with external one. Any clues...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    I ended up moving this camera to a BlueIris on a second system and it works great now. In camera properties I set 360 to ceiling which I think enables 360 dewarp when viewing clips and alerts. Keep in mind that if you use Camera Properties > Video > Rotation then dewarp doesn't work. The trick...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    Shouldn't IFrame match the FPS? I think everywhere I read people recommended setting it to match FPS.

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    CPU Utilization is roughly 65-70% Going to try unticking the "Use RTSP/stream timecode" and report back. Camera stream settings are basically 4000x3000 15FPS 10Mbps and IFrame at 15 as well. I have tried lowering it down just in case the resource was too much, but it didn't help. What seemed...

    Geovision GV-FER12203 doesn't play well with BlueIris

    Got Geovision GV-FER12203 360 FishEye camera to test and so far it does not play well with blueiris. Main stream 4000x3000 with any bitrate when added to blue iris keeps dropping connections every couple seconds or sometimes looses connection for hours. Sub-stream works no problem. Already...

    How do you track down the source of high CPU usage?

    We have a similarly spec system becoming available in couple days (old location closed down), so at this point plan is to split the load between two systems considering that are will be 6-8 more 8MP cameras added. On a side note, does anyone have knowledge why this overload happened...

    How do you track down the source of high CPU usage?

    Damn, you are right. Dropping the frame rate to 10 on all cameras lowered the MP/s to 1100 and system is stable again. I don't suppose there are any remedies to this other than trying different software solution or splitting up cameras into multiple systems? Boss really likes the details from...

    How do you track down the source of high CPU usage?

    Restart is first thing I tried and unfortunately it did not resolve anything in this case. System drive has 75% of storage free. Completely new problem just started randomly without any changes to the system or settings. Went though that CPU optimization section just in case I missed anything...

    How do you track down the source of high CPU usage?

    System has 16GB of ram with blueiris using 8GB and during the issues system overall used 70% of ram. I was suspecting that blueiris might be using hard drive as a swap space, but I don't exactly know how to check if that is the case. System is installed on NVME SSD. Edit: My mistake, I forgot...

    How do you track down the source of high CPU usage?

    Over the holidays something has happened with BlueIris computer and CPU usage sky-rocketed. After couple hours of looking at resource usage the only thing I found was memory usage close to 8GB. At the same time frame rate on all cameras dropped to 1-3 with immense lag. Note that at this time...

    Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Is there a reason why with this firmware camera is constantly trying to get to 54.241.203.224 which is assigned/owned to Amazon? This did not occur with 2017 firmware that camera came with, regardless, I am still blocking it from any internet access and just curious about 54.241.203.224 Edit...

    Test-run motion detection on specific area with specific settings?

    Perfect! I honestly had no idea that changing camera motion settings would apply to test-run motion detection too. It makes sense tho. Thank you I don't suppose it also records new alerts (with more sensitive settings), does it?

    Test-run motion detection on specific area with specific settings?

    Is it possible to test-run or rerun motion detection on recorded continuous video but use more sensative motion settings and only run on specific area of the video?

    Picking camera for an apartment

    For the curious, this is what it looks like at 8pm. It can get about 1/3 as worse in terms of glare during the daytime. I am now considering putting together something similar to ac vent that is usually put in windows for hot air to vent. Make it a bit recessed so that camera doesn't stick out...

    Where is the option to record 24/7 in Xprotect 2017?

    There is still an option to record continuously in 2018 r1, right? I have tried setting "record keyframes only" in 2018 r1 but it seem to do that only when motion is detected.

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    I can only try and see how it works out. It is an apartment complex and installing outside is not an option. However, the lighting is very good (very bright LED flood lights), so fingers crossed that it will work out with IR disabled.

    Review-Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE

    As silly as it may sound, has anyone attempted to color/paint black frame around the camera? Mine will be mounted on the interior of the window and black frame around the camera will probably stick out too much.

    Picking camera for an apartment

    Thank you! Went though the cliff notes and about 10 pages of that thread :lol: Still was hesitant about it and waited because was hoping to find something better. Wall, that was a mistake, apartment neighbor scuffed right rear corner of the car and I doubt he will admit to it. If only I ordered...

    The best cameras out there!

    I was hoping that there are bigger pads or via holes to solder +5 and GND to, and not just the pads that are used for micro-USB connector. I have soldered wires to micro usb connector pads before but not always was successful. Therefore, having bigger pads or separate via holes to solder...
