    Performance issues when using Blue Iris on a dual XEON Gold 5120 server

    Whats the hypervisor? Something doesn't sound right. I have two VMs of BI: One in Proxmox and one in xcp-ng. The one is Proxmox is on an old Ryzen 1600AF with only 8 cores assigned and 12GB of ram. CPU usage averages 7% with 6 4MP cams. No quicksync here either. Just using substreams.

    EmpireTech 25X PTZ - Rebooting

    If you have verified power is fine by using two injectors/Poe switches and the same problem arises, then I agree, it’s not power. I’d check network cabling next. Can you run a temporary line? I know you said you tested it with a fluke, but I’d still run a secondary test line just to be sure...

    EmpireTech 25X PTZ - Rebooting

    Agree with others. How are you powering it? May have a faulty injector if that is what you are using.

    CCA Cat5 POE!! I know this if frowned upon

    If you already have it, I'd just use it.

    What type of switch/router for my needs

    Yes. Those jacks would plug into the switch ports that you have configured as VLAN 10 (in my example earlier). Any data entering those switch ports are automatically tagged as VLAN 10 and the firewall rules apply accordingly. You could do this all with one very large switch and configure 3 of...

    What type of switch/router for my needs

    You are going to need basic understanding of subnetting, VLAN, wifi, etc... If I was doing this and only wanted to give them wifi access to the internet and no access to the rest of the LAN, then Id setup a dedicated AP just for them on a different VLAN/subnet than your home network. So VLAN...

    By the time you buy a 4 port NIC and power adapters you might as well just buy a 4 or 8 port PoE switch…

    Often asked, but so confused cameras and vlans. [newborn newbie]

    It may default to trunking on ports you don’t set as an access port with a vlan.

    Often asked, but so confused cameras and vlans. [newborn newbie]

    Simply creating VLANs on your switch doesn't mean your router knows what you want to do with them. It may be configured to allow inter-VLAN routing by default. You have to create firewall rules in your router to tell it what you intend to happen with a packet that comes in with a tagged VLAN...

    Building my home network

    I separate my camera LAN from my computer LAN via two different subnets. My router has the ability to assign different subnets/VLANs to each of it's LAN ports. I also have a dedicated POE switch just for the camera LAN. Then I just block the entire camera LAN subnet from access to the...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Yeah. I don't get any of that but my FOV is so much wider being 30'+ feet in the air. I also wonder if you simply got a bad camera? It's a shame this and the -T version of this camera is still plagued with problem for distances under 10'. Their ability to gather light is amazing.

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    How many times can we say the dome is dirty? :banghead: It’s most likely inside as well. Cleaning the outside probably won’t matter.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Yup. Yours is noisier. It may be distance. My fov is so much further away than yours maybe we just can’t see it as well? Your images even look a tad bit more washed out than mine. I’m interested to see if shutter priority would make a difference.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Here ya go. The bum walking was unfortunate for me. My auto tracking on the PTZ stops at 4am and he came across the lot just after. He kept looking back pretty suspiciously too. I need to extend the auto tracking to later. FYI, running VBR at best quality (6) at max bit rate (8192) at 15 fps on...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    No one has entered the lot and came all the way to the pole yet. Just turn around stuff near the entrance. Should have the garbage truck coming tonight to empty the dumpster around midnight. It will have to come all the way to the pole so I’ll get that footage in the morning and post and it and...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    Part of the problem is that dome is filthy. You have dirt inside it is my guess. I just took down an Axis dome and replaced it with a Dahua PTZ, and my images were close to that from the old Axis dome. It had all kinds of bugs and debris inside it. The gaskets were cracked and allowed...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Well the 4K-x is up on the pole and looks great! Granted it’s up 30+ feet and my driveway entrance is nearly 200 feet away so there are no DoF issues here at these distances. Also running a Z12 for LPR and a PTZ5A4M-25X for auto tracking vehicles/persons in the lot only at night after we are...

    Can't login to IP camera. Changed to static ip 192.168.1.255.

    You can’t use an address ending in .255 with a /24 (255.255.255.0) subnet. That is reserved for broadcast. You can’t use .0 ending either. You can only use .1 - .254 with a /24 subnet.

    Yup and that is fine. That is what the PTZ5A4M-25X is for. Just want to keep overview with the 4K-x while the ptz is auto tracking.

    Permanently Disable p2p protocol in DAHUA devices using API

    Always better to block the cameras at the router for any outgoing communications. No telling how many back doors these have in them and those won’t be documented.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Yeah the newest FW for the 4K-X appears to be from Dec of 2023 from Andy’s site. And, yes, both the old ‘21 fw and the newest ‘23 fw are still running on the old GUI.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Well shit. I just bought a 4K-x to mount it 30’ high on a pole overlooking my business parking lot at 50’+. Noticed it had 2021 fw on it and just updated it to the latest version. It will be providing overview with a ptz providing tracking at night on targets in the lot. I didn’t realize the...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.9.0

    Spun up 2.9.0 in Docker on a Debian machine. Man that was easy. For you guys having trouble with the full installs, you have to give Docker a try. So much easier to deploy and upgrade stuff like this.

    Is there any point to using AI with BI?

    I like AI in the camera. Never had much luck with the BI AI solutions. I’d rather let the camera to it as it way easier to setup

    Capabilities of PTZ Cameras

    @EMPIRETECANDY will ship directly to you. Generally his direct prices are a bit cheaper and include shipping vs buying from his Amazon store. Send him a DM here and he will respond. I’ve bought 20+ cams from him over the years. He is a stand up guy. Whatever you decide, go with a Dahua over the...

    Capabilities of PTZ Cameras

    So just going by pros/cons you listed in the OP, the Dahua is a no brainer. Also, the Dahua is going to have far better light collecting ability at night with a 4MP 1/2.8 sensor vs the Relolink 8MP 1/2.8 sensor. And, what is $200 extra in the grand scheme of things? Also, don’t even compare 4 vs...

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    Late to the party here on this one. Is there any way to activate lights when it’s auto tracking and zooming and then have them turn off when tracking is complete?
