    Blue Iris UI3

    Hi, I have been having a number of issues of late; UI3 is close to being Unuseable after BI version 5.4.9.18. The main issue I have is that video playback, when viewing the 'live view gallery' is very poor and choppy. cameras are displayed frame by frame until you click on a specific camera...

    Blue Iris 5 - Stunnel & HTTPS Issues

    I can confirm this was the solution for me. - something to do with an old version of TLS/SSL - I seem to think it may be due to chrome ending support for SSLv3? - if you're having this problem, try to load in IE - it should work if this is your issue! Eitherway - I editied the stunnel.pem files...

    For refrance - this is set at 1/60 - however I have to use quite a bit of gain to bring the image up

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Your nighttime image looks great - quite a well lit scene I guess with the streetlights? although there looks to be really good dynamic range - are you using any additional settings there? i brought the sharpness down whilst playing around in the daylight -the bushes by the path looked kinda...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Have received 2 of these from Andy today (cheers Andy) - one thing I've noticed is that if I select h265, 25fps and max bit rate - the fps fluctuates around 21 - 23 with an I-frame interval between 0.75 and 0.90. - however, if I drop the bitrate down to a limit of 2048, then the fps is a solid...

    Soffit IR Reflection Options - Visor, Paint, Move?

    Where I couldnt avoid it - I angled the camera to avoid as much of the soffit as possible. I also found using black tape (such as gorrila duct tape) on the parts that refelect the worst to help - this dramatically improved image qulaity. obviously, depending on the level of light you have -...

    Blue Iris Server Build

    I did have an i3 9100 on standby, which will drop into this board also (so this would probably be the upgrade path I'd take if it was ever needed in the future) - from memory the performace as far as CPU score goes was very similar to my old and much loved i7 3770k CPU... was quite suprised when...

    Blue Iris Server Build

    So far, in testing - performance has been pretty good; In Blue Iris - running 3x 5MP Cams via H.264 @15fps, CPU usage sits around 17-20%. The planned cameras are 3x 4MP cams, so this figure will likely drop ever so slightly in the production environment. I have tested with up to 6x 5MP cams...

    Blue Iris Server Build

    I would really like to see this the more I think about it. Perhaps I'll look at putting together a comparable AMD system at some point and testing, unless someone beats me to it. I've just got BI installed so I'll get some performance figures in the morning...

    Blue Iris Server Build

    Definitely with you on HP machines - we use them as service processors / SSL VPN hosts at work all the time - I think I've known of one hardware failure in the 5 years some of them have been deployed. I would've been more likely to maybe have gone down that route if it was for myself. Although...

    Blue Iris Server Build

    Definitely a valid point re. AMD. I was originally planning on going team Red for this build, although having not experimented with AMD on BI before, I decided to maybe leave that to another build of my own when I can play around a little more. It would be quite interesting to see how the...

    Blue Iris Server Build

    Thought I'd post this up here for anyone who may be interested in building a new purpose built PC / Server for their Blue Iris Setup. I'm currently working on a project for a friend who has asked me to install a full system at his house, leaving pretty much everything up to me and a reasonable...

    Reolink?

    They certainly look really good from what I've been reading! Looking forwards to having a play with one - will be interesting to get some side by side footage the the reolink cams I have

    Reolink?

    For the most part, especially day time - IMO they are fine, especially for the price of them. the 5MP RLC-420 turrets I've used have been very good, however its been pointed out that their low light performance is less than ideal, as above. there are also a few issues you may find with them in...

    Reolink?

    HI all, Thanks again for all of the input. I'm planning to go with 2 Dahua 5442's for the most critical area, which is also very low light and then probably a cheaper 2/4 MP cam (possibly a reolink turret I already have due to upgrading...) around the back which is pretty well lit at night...

    Reolink?

    Thank you for all of the info / replies everyone - all taken on board. I have been looking at some cams I can get over here and came across this cam: ANNKE Ultra HD 5MP Outdoor POE CCTV Camera 2560x1920: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo It makes a point of having colour night vision branded as...

    Reolink?

    Hi Yankee, I haven't compared footage side by side - although I am mostly happy with the lowlight performance I get, perhaps in part due to fairly good lighting nearby. I will upload a proper sample of test footage ASAP, although please see a sample image for now. Faces are washed out...

    Reolink?

    Hi all, I've used this forum for a while, although this is my first post in here. I'm planning a new system for a friend and it has got me thinking again about which cameras I should use. My own system uses 6x 5MP Reolink POE cams (4x RLC-420, 1x RLC-511 and 1x RLC-423 PTZ) via Blue iris...
