    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    Thanks again, have long heard good things about Andy. Been meaning to place an order with him for a long time. Does the 5442 do color at night? If not, does it at least do good B&W images with no IR? Not a fan of IR and the bugs and spiders it attracts.

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    Really appreciate your insight. You have given me a lot to think about. The Dahua thing is interesting. We've mostly done Hikvision (rebranded through LTS). Dahua is interesting. Can you recommend a good Dahua dealer that ships to the US? Also, if you have a suggested model for me to try, I...

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    Good info, thanks for posting. Which Meshify did you go with? I'm between either Meshify 2 or Meshify 2 Compact. Seems like the compact still has more than enough space, as it's still a mid tower. Good info on the 10XX series issues. Just realized that you posted it already above and I missed...

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    Thanks again for the suggestion re: a standard ATX case vs. mini-ITX. You saved my ass on that, bigtime. Any suggestions on who is making high quality PC cases these days? So many of them tend to be made out of Chinesium (pot metal). The mechanism by which drives are installed and removed can...

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    You are right about perps not stealing desktop PCs. In the past, they might have. Standard MO used to be to head to the master bedroom for the jewelry and money. Grabbing any electronics they saw along the way. But in the past 5-10 years, residential burglars have gotten hinky with regard to...

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    Thanks much for this suggestion. I had already been re-thinking the small case as possibly being a bad idea. Only reason I thought to go with it is that a smaller case can be hidden more easily. In my experience with burglaries (police detective) most perps are in and out with a few minutes on...

    Placement above garage

    Hard no on position Y. Most of the video you capture with it is going to be useless footage of the tops of people's heads. Unless it is a PTZ or overwatch cam, we generally stick to mounting no higher than what a six foot (2M) tall guy can reach to damage of a six foot ladder (read: about 3M...

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    Thanks for the prompt and detailed reply. Total facepalm on my end for not including details about the cameras. Mea culpa. Will be a max of 20 cameras, more likely 12-16. It will be a mix of 8MP and 4MP LTS/Hik stuff. I would say 4-8 of them at most will require AI. All of those 4-8 will...

    New BI PC Build w HDDs in RAID 1 (mirror) Redundancy

    After years of frustration with kludgy LTS/Hik NVRs, I'm finally abandoning ship for Blue Iris. Currently spec'ing out a high end PC for a build in early Jan. Will likely be Intel Core i7-14700K 3.4 GHz 20-Core based. I will probably 20 cams in total (mix of 8MP and 4MP). It will likely be in...

    Adding Nvidia GPU to Blue Iris and Code Project AI Install

    I'm in the process of building a PC for Blue Iris and Code Project AI. Just wondering how difficult it will be to add an Nvidia GPU card at a later date. It will likely be an Intel Core i7-14700K 3.4 GHz 20-Core-based system built in a Mini-ITX case. Ideally, I would move the GeForce 1080i...

    ColorVU versus the Dark Fighter options?

    THIS. Period. I've been saying it until I'm blue in the face, and people still don't seem to get it. I have have substantial experience in my work as a police detective. Including testifying in court. If any modern IP cam is having trouble with the lighting conditions, a good security plan...

    Acusense 2.0 and ColorVu 2.0

    Someone here gets it. I've been dealing with video for years, both in my time as a police detective and via my side business. It's amazing how many people--both industry professionals and enthusiasts just don't get it. That extends to people here as well. In general, video is useless if it...

    2.8mm or 4mm at these positions?

    The main problem now is that 16:9 aspect ratio is pretty much being forced on us with the latest models. A camera with a square (4:3) image would be ideal in the mounting location depicted by the second picture. You would have far more path at the bottom and road at the top. Regrettably, the...

    ColorVu&AcuSense

    Thanks much for sharing. This seems to be the ticket. Give me an NVR without klugy firmware that has DHCP/PoE issues and I will be a really camper.

    Great Horned Owl vs Flying Squirrels

    Here is my barn with the siding removed. The black is all excrement and the liquid stains are from pee. I now have two electric zap traps. Baited with sunflower seeds.

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Agree with you 100%. Some thoughts: 1. Regrettably, a Republican will never be elected in NYC again. For years, both in the city and across the state, right-leaning people have voted with their feet--and left for other states where there is more freedom yet criminals are controlled. Between...

    They exist in Jersey. They are also destructive as all hell. Hope he eats both of them next time.

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    This is correct. As much as Giuliani is a dick (cops detest him because he was the first mayor in recent history to hand out 0 percent raises), he did clean up the city. Broken windows policing worked. When you printed a pisser or turnstyle jumper, you often found warrants for more serious...

    Looking for better nighttime performance between those 5 cameras

    I spent a lot of time as a cop. Did a lot of work with video on the job. Unless you are looking to view nocturnal wildlife, low light performance should not be a huge concern. If your property is so dark that any of those cams would have a problem, consider spending your money on solid motion...

    ColorVu&AcuSense

    Part of me believes that they do this on purpose. Incremental releases so that you buy and then are forced to upgrade, etc. No reason for them not to offer a higher priced cam that has all top features that we are looking for in one package from the start.

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Mobotix is miles ahead of Hikvision with regard to accurately detection motion without false alarms. Just may be some setup issues with activity sensor. Also excellent audio performance. They hundreds of miles behind with regard to everything else. Mx Management Center (MxMC) is probably the...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    100%. You are far better with more cameras with greater zoom than trying to get everything from wide high res cam. Remember, for a given physical sensor size in inches, an increase in megapixels means less area for each megapixel. Which means less light gathering capability.

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Also, lewic has nailed it re: Acusense. The technology simply isn't there yet. The NVRs are underpowered CPU wise, hence the ability only to do 4/16 channels. No one wants accurate motion detection more than I do. But until the technology matures, best bet is to save your money vs. paying top...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Depends on your mounting location. In an overwatch situation like that corner bend in the road, quite possibly. Low down, not as much.

    LTS (rebranded Hik) NVR not Working w/ DHCP

    Thanks again for the detailed reply. It's absolutely maddening that they are still not clear of NPAPI so many years after its deprecation. Almost makes me want to think of BI or some other NAS/PC based solution. With ColorVU, the cameras are really on point now. The storage/management options...

    Advice on NVR placement in house

    You are playing with fire. Just because it hasn't failed yet doesn't mean that it won't. And the guy who did your install is a dope. As are most people who take the easy way out. We do commercial installs on a pretty large scale. It is well established in the information technology field...

    LTS (rebranded Hik) NVR not Working w/ DHCP

    Thanks a ton. Really appreciate it. Does 3.4.96 still require the plugins (e.g. tied to IE)? Or is version 4 the first to support HTML 5?
