    Anyone running Blue Iris on a mini pc? What HDD are you using?

    I use a mini pc and write to an internal SSD drive that is not my NVME system drive, BUT I consider that only temporary storage for fast scrubbing of alerts/recordings within recent hours. I have BI configured to move the recording files to a Synology NAS where I have traditional magnetic drives...

    Looking to add a PTZ

    I do NOT recommend the PTZ3E10X-T180. IMHO, it is completely underpowered and can't keep up with basic operations. For more context: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/ptz3e10x-t180-freezed-when-ptz-is-moving.84484/post-986215

    PTZ3E10X-T180 Freezed when ptz is moving

    I bought one of the PTZ3E10X-T180 cameras, knowing that I was taking a bit of a risk, and so far it's been a disaster. Dahua must have gone extra cheap on the CPU(s) because it can't keep up with anything. The video streams stutter if there is any motion, even at only 5 frames per second (fps)...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I too have experienced what appears to be a memory leak in CodeProject.AI, but I don't think we (or at least I) can know for certain whether it's a code problem in CodeProject.AI itself or if BlueIris (or any other client) is not closing a connection that it should. I am not trying to hijack...

    CodeProject.AI 2.9.5 w/YOLOv5.NET (GPU/DirectML) memory growth/leak

    Running on Windows 11 Pro, running about 40 streams through CP.AI, after enough time & events, the memory use of the CodeProject.AI Server through Task Manager still shows only ~150MB on the process tab, BUT the total memory use shown on the performance tab grows over time to 10-15GB at which...

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    I offer a word of warning to people considering those cameras or any other new cameras that require IE . . . I was hesitant to buy my first thermal cameras since they only supported IE. I asked Andy about this, and Dahua told Andy that they would provide firmware updates for the first thermal...

    Are surveillance microphones a thing?

    @aesterling @TRLcam How do you guys provide power to the microphones you use? Are you using a specific adapter that pulls power off the PoE line to the camera or ??? I've always been nervous about tapping into the PoE line so I've just never done it, in part because I haven't seen enough people...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    @AlwaysSomething you didn't show sharpness or saturation in your settings list above. If you look back at one of my previous messages in this thread, you'll see that I found those settings have a HUGE impact on the clarity. I found that I had dramatically better results with those values down in...

    IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M IPC-HX5X3X-Multi-Rhea_Eng_V2.622.0000000.38.R.211029 Dual lens Firmware

    I am not aware of any newer version for the 4231F-E2. I have version V2.840.0000000.27.R, Build Date: 2024-03-22 for the 5441F-AS-E2, but I am still on that 2021-10-29 version for the 4231F-E2

    Hmm...do you agree with the advice I got from EmpireTech on camera selection?

    Short answer: the suggested cameras are great, and are effectively my default. I don't personally own the newer 8MP version, but I own several of the 4MP & earlier versions. FYI, you referred to both as "dome", but they are not domes and that means something else. You should refer to them more...

    I believe you're referring simply to the AI config setting of "Zoom-in to objects":

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Ah, I didn't realize that they could not even see IR. I just assumed that B&W mode would at least pick up those higher wavelengths but I guess that was a really bad assumption on my part. In that case, they definitely won't work for me. Thanks for that clarification.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Are any of you using this or any of the newer dual lens cameras at night in B&W mode with external IR illuminators and if so, are they just as good as other cameras with similar sensors (like the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE & newer IPC-T54IR-ZEB-S3) with external IR illumination at night? What is the impact...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Got it. It all goes back to the training of the model. Thanks.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    @wittaj As I hope you know, I agree with everything you said about cameras, optical zoom, etc. etc. Having said that, do you know why CP.AI drops the resolution by default? I realize there's a significant performance issue, but shouldn't that be left up to the client application to decide? If...
