What is the....issue you are having locally around your house for LPR and facial ID needs?
Once you get all dialed in with cameras & Blue Iris... come on back and make suggestions about night time settings. Always good to hear do's & don'ts that no one thought of yet.I have worked in semi professional photography, so I understand what will happen at night. The bigger hurdle for me is the video aspect and the link to NVR or BI. I will start working on BI tomorrow to get ready for the cameras to arrive.
Your night shot is promising to me. If I can get stills like that, it will solve my problems. I don't anticipate capturing vehicle occupants at night for obvious reasons, but I absolutely need them in daylight hours. I don't yet know my effective hours based on sunlight and window reflections, but I have already captured many good occupant images.
I'd be happy to post some results from HDview. A big issue I have with it though, is that both bullets have a significant lens defect. They both have areas of the lens that are blurry at long range. Zoomed out might be better, but I am working on the linger end of the 50mm. The HDview domes were better, but they both have a glitch when viewing them on the main stream that affects the image. I have spent over 5 hours on phone support to try and resolve my issues. And the bullet cameras glitch on the config menu when using more than a 50ft premade BNV cable. While their support has been very patient, they haven't been able to resolve my issues. So I can't recommend HDview at all. One of my bullet cameras also arrived damaged. Upon inspection. The mechanics of then zoom and focus screws are just not impressive. They use a blade shaped screw into a valley shaped post that gives a lot of play and makes fine adjustment almost impossible. I'll post some images soon.
LPR is more important that facial recog. I just wanted to have facial recog as an option if I was going to spend more money on something new. It's not a local issue, but more of a... proof of concept, if you will. In reasonable time, I will likely be starting a new thread here to share some details about the project.What is the....issue you are having locally around your house for LPR and facial ID needs?
With my HFW5241E-Z12E at maximum zoom, and when vehicles curve around the street and are facing the camera at about 130 ft., I can peer into the vehicles on video playback and can see basic characteristics, albeit only when the lighting is right.LPR is more important that facial recog.

If it still doesn't like it, then make sure user and password are correct and that they do not contain any special characters.
Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage
Blue Iris uses a lot of CPU time. In most Blue Iris installations, your CPU is the limiting factor which determines how many cameras you can have. As such, it is extremely important to optimize your configuration to ensure you can get the most out of your system while consuming the least...ipcamtalk.com
Yes, that could be as well - I had a special character initially and it didn't like it and when I changed it, it worked.Wait, no special characters? Even !@#$%^&*()
I have one of those in my password. Is that my issue?
