    Need your feedback for these two Empire NVRs

    A small load of cams should be fine on a 10/100 Reolink, but our seasoned veteran @looney2ns always recommends the Netgears. I believe they have some models with Non-POE ports, POE as an electrical standard is well established...

    Need your feedback for these two Empire NVRs

    The reolink ports are 10/100. the NetGear ports are Gigabit 10/100/1000. more is better. Some systems may act fine with a 10/100 switch, but i havent found that to be the case for my 2 systems of BI.

    Trouble connecting to TIOC camera via web

    this is another reason I recall moving my cams to a POE switch. my nvr played hell loading those :10081 URL's due to the low bandwidth of the NVR and all the traffic of all the other cams coming into the house one 1 Cat5e. when i swapped them to a POE switch the URLS loaded faster. and not...

    New to security cams

    Welcome. Resist the temptation to update any firmware for no good reason. ( we've all done it) sometimes to horrific results, Sometimes you skate by unscathed. not versed on TIoC cams yet. somebody will respond eventually.

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Of course now with the 5442 Z4-E's I can get away with night/day captures, and the "focus hunt" is a non issue. But i can still miss plates during twilight hours because of this. When i set my day and night settings up I temporarily use the " full Time" profile, then there are no greyed out...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    I have 2 systems running BI. None of the cameras EVER reboot. unless of course there is a power interuption, or I manually restart it while I'm present. this solves your "focus hunting" problem during transition. I had a Helluva time learning to Dial in the Condo LPR cam with day and Night. The...

    Using BlueIris as a service causes PC to lag, stutter?

    I used to work at Microcenter computer store. Sometimes custom boards have unexpected defaults and or drivers that cause issues. not so much these days, but seen it on custom builds of my own in the past. it's a clue that both people having issues are running Asus boards. Been a long time since...

    Using BlueIris as a service causes PC to lag, stutter?

    Perhaps the Video writes have exhausted the SSD. 2.5 years of continous writes could be an issue. Spinning drives have better longevity for video writes. Swap out your video storage SSD with another known good drive and see what happens.

    Cameras keep going forward an hour

    my cams are now " off the bossy NVR" and thusly no longer " slaves" to the NVR, because they are on a POE switch ( 192.168.0.xxx) with a different IP address than the internal NVR POE switches 10.x.x.x I don't recall how I sorted this all out,,,,but since last fall, all the devices appear to be...

    Cameras keep going forward an hour

    I'm using NET TIME as the NTP server on Windows 11 and the settings from within that PC app, I have fooled around with other NTP addresses from here as well. https://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi

    Cameras keep going forward an hour

    Ihad this issue for awhile with 4108 Amcrest NVR( DAhua OEM) and an Amcrest XVR, where by the NVR was " the Boss" of " Time keeping" and the cameras were like "slaves" I forget how i figured out how to stop it....let me check some things. turn off the NTP and DST check boxes on the Cams and...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    no special reason. other than to see when one of them goes "off the reservation" and begins reporting DST or isn't syncing w/Net Time/ I think as i recall one of them disappears when you export video to a file.....Or something. my OCD might have OCD.

    Using BlueIris as a service causes PC to lag, stutter?

    You might have a glitchy piece of hardware in the mix,,,,or two things that don't play well together..........not so much the case anymore, but I recall having PC components that acted badly when asked to perform together.

    Using BlueIris as a service causes PC to lag, stutter?

    Are you in fact testing the older PC as a comparison using the same Hard Drive/ NVME etc?

    Using BlueIris as a service causes PC to lag, stutter?

    Fenderman always asks people if they used a Media Creation tool, and did a clean install, ( no factory bloatware) hopefully this is the case.

    Using BlueIris as a service causes PC to lag, stutter?

    Where are your video Writes going to? a dedicated drive? not the NVME i hope. What kind of motherboard are you running? like a HP/Dell?Lenovo? or a custom board? is the memory verified to be running in DUAL channel mode in the Bios or in Speccy?

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Here are some examples of reflectorized tape to aid the focus. I don't really use that far left one in first pic, because it was for the 5231 Z12E. but looking in the dark back yard with the other Z4 bullet i needed to play with how I focused on that reflector tape until I found the setting...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    I have a very bright LED street light that was updated 2-3 years ago from Sodium.....but it depends on how the car moves through that light. Some are going straight and some are turning. Some are moving away, and some are coming with headlights on. Headlights washout color night mode from some...

    Signal Drop

    i'd surmise it could be the garage switch or it's power source. if it's nearing it's thruput capacity with current devices, that could do it. Is it a Gigabit poe switch on all ports?

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    note to self.....where is my window breaking tool now? grrr. My uncle was big on fire extinguishers, He had them everywhere. I think he saw some things in WWII that shaped this behavior as field medic in the Pacific theater on ships and landing crafts. I wonder how he got off course to end up...
