    Have the Cameras. How Do You Run Yours?

    Stoopid question maybe. Why not colour at night if you have external lighting? Want to record when the lights are not on also?

    Have the Cameras. How Do You Run Yours?

    My folks went to the local community alert meeting recently which was attended by a police representative and he swore blind that the biggest deterrent was dusk to dawn lighting. Not sure I buy into it that much! That said I can see a real benefit if there's enough lighting to disable IR on the...

    Have the Cameras. How Do You Run Yours?

    Another question..... How do you guys set up for continuous recording? I presume continuous with motion detection but how do you have your clips chopped up? Will I still receive alerts on the Blue Iris iPhone app as if I was just running motion detection and view them as normal also?

    iPhone App Worth It?

    Ok cool and assign the same group to each user? So motion alerts are on a user basis and not on a camera/camera group basis?

    iPhone App Worth It?

    Another question. What is the best way to configure two iPhones to access the same cameras on the same BI instance? Both connect as the same user or create two users, two groups but with each camera added to both groups? Basically my wife wants the app also but I'd like to have the alerts. I'm...

    Fanless Windows PC Configuration

    Agree there. I used to buy expensive AV cables but now make my own if I can or just buy good quality, but cheap. I still laugh at $1000 "audiophile" USB cables.....

    Fanless Windows PC Configuration

    Yeah I agree with the guys above. I just built an i7 system with a Fractal Design R5 case, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler, Seasonic fanless PSU. Can't hear the thing unless my ear is right next to it. Love the R5 case so much I just bought a second for a NAS build. Best case I've ever used.

    To Ken if you look at your forums

    Just to weigh in on this one..... When I bought my BI license early last month (August 2016), I made the initial attempt to order on a Saturday. Had an issue, probably the same as the OP, and emailed support (around 5am EST). I had a response before 9am EST. I made payment through PayPal the...

    Have the Cameras. How Do You Run Yours?

    Yes it's unacceptable but also a learning process I believe. I now have extra, better quality, cameras up, getting a dog and looking at lighting. My only concern with motion lights is the time it takes for the camera to switch from night mode. 24/7 recording seems to be popular so I'll...

    Yeah used that Classic Shell on Windows 8.0 before. It's good. This is my planned course of action (maybe). New machine, install 7 Pro & SP1. Upgrade to 10 Pro using the assistive loophole. Then create an install USB key with a clean version of 10 Pro and rebuild the machine (not a fan of...

    Be a while before we see Windows 12592 I'd say..... I think I have a license for 8.1 already but not 10.

    Have the Cameras. How Do You Run Yours?

    So I'm just wondering what other peoples home security strategy is and whether they run with IR or not. I have 6 of the Hikvision 2CD2335-I's and 4 are mounted so far. The other two will be going in this week. I'm using BI for recording. But I'm wondering how others are running their security...

    Interesting that 7 can't do QSV with BI running as a service. I guess I'll be looking at 8.1 or 10 then.

    Strange 2CD2335-I Lens Issue Maybe?

    Possibly.... But like I said all images taken with the iPhone app and when I zoom in on that the time/date does not stay in the same place. Both the daylight and night images above the time/dates are all there.

    Here you go, just had a measure and it is slightly further. This is what I'm getting from a 6mm 2CD2335-I @ 14.5ft from the camera to the center of the door (between the nearest plant and the wall). Maybe I do have an issue with the camera and have created a thread about it...

    Strange 2CD2335-I Lens Issue Maybe?

    Hi guys.... Not sure do I have a defective camera, maybe something set in Blue Iris or a camera setting itself but I'm not getting the zoom from a 6mm 2CD2335-I that I perhaps expected I would have. Take a look at the below two screenshots, taken about 4 hours apart. The night shot seems way...

    I have a 6mm from about 12ft from my door and even that's too wide. I'd need a 12mm in there.

    Re: Smokin Deal on Hikvision DS-2cd2335-i 3MP - Mar 29th for $69.97 from a trusted ve Has anyone got the 12mm version of this camera? Here's the 6mm watching my front door at a distance of about 12ft. I don't think it's zoomed in enough really to catch faces.

    Stupid question maybe. If you're using Blue Iris what is your receive buffer set to?
  27. essjay

    Image Tearing

    Increasing that buffer seems to have made a big difference thanks! I'll observe the camera/BI over the next few days to see how it works out.
  28. essjay

    Image Tearing

    Per camera setting. Camera Properties -> Video -> Configure

    No with Win 7 Pro (or maybe Enterprise N) on a new machine used to just slow down after a few weeks and needed a reboot. But that could have been FlexRAID or the VM software.

    Does it ever require reboots? Win 7 is stable too but does require regular reboots.
