    H.264 encoding on Dahua/Hikvision/Blue Iris vs Unifi

    Buy two Dahuas for every one Unifi you could have a 50% failure rate and still be even money. Plus you have a much better product. I have 7 Dahuas from Andy and have had zero failures in almost 2 years. I think I'm way ahead. Unifi, at double money, makes no sense.

    finding my perfect setup for under $1000

    I recommend the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS camera. ~$132 from Andy at Empire Tech. They do everything on your list although the zoom is varifocal and not really meant for a lot of zoom in/out but it does work if not needed too often. Use $60 Blue Iris with $10 phone app on a $150 PC and your 5 camera...

    Blue Iris Configuration - Is this possible ?

    Put all cameras in a group then enable trigger camera groups and select the group. Make all cameras break time 600 seconds to record for the 10 min.

Camera/Alerts/Push is setup per profile for push notification. Under Configure when I test it reports "Test...

    How come my zone crossing doesn't trigger when a vehicle crosses?

    I have a different take. If you look at the first picture the windshield is totally in the lower zone. The software doesn't know the windshield is part of the car which is in both zones. When the dark colored windshield passes into an adjacent zone it should trigger. Also, I'm not a fan of...

    Timeline bar won't stop

    Updates come out regularly so yes, he is still working on it. Probably won't get a response to your email since you haven't purchased the program. Driveway isn't a profile. Night Time is a profile. For troubleshooting try unchecking all jpeg snapshot check boxes.

    Just an old fart

    Welcome aboard! To your question about what camera to start with my suggestion is either: Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) or Dahua Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS) You can't go wrong with either. Then you can decide if you want to spend more or not. Any...

    Too many false motions due to sun/shade/wind

    I spent a couple hours trying to make this work. Never did. Zones adjacent to each other with no gap and no "overall" zone work as expected and are easy to fine tune.

    Zone Crossing - Not working - What have I missed ?

    In your example would the crossing rule be A-B and G would not be mentioned at all?
