    Just to be certain, do you mean this: https://www.amazon.com/Loryta-IPC-B5442E-ZE-Starlight-Network-Motorized/dp/B07SYFLGZY/ref=sr_1_33?m=A329YQ83EBQGJF&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&qid=1659304811&s=merchant-items&sr=1-33 According to the specs this camera requires more light than the...

    I'm really happy with these 4k 1/1.2" ones. Do you think the difference in resolution would be that big of a deal? Assume a 4M 1/1.8" vs 4k/1.2" at night would be close, in your opinion which is better for night? Also not a big fan of domes, do they make a bullet version of this?

    So i've bought both versions of the IPC-Color4k-x, using 3.6 above the front door and the 2.8 for the backyard. Getting ready to pull the trigger on one more to replace an old Swann bullet cam pointed at the driveway also covering some of the side and front yard. Above the driveway camera is...

    Geez Louise! That's a monster thread. Despite seeing the person who wrote the service saying he isn't using his own script anymore I went ahead and set it up anyway. Seems to be working so will see how it goes. If it works not sure why anyone would go the other route which seems like a lot...

    Thanks for all of this. I already had the cameras FPS and iframes set that way. One major question, all of these cameras I bought from Andy per your recommendation from what I can tell do not automatically go from day to night or viceversa... you have to set the time period which doesn't...

    layout issues

    After stepping away from this for a while I was able to get what i wanted in the "console" view. I have a 10 camera layout with no gaps in between. First row has 2 cams taking up half the screen, 2nd and 3rd row have 4 cams each. Trick was to set the top 2 cams at a height of 2x then move...

    The images were created using the snap feature inside BI while playing a video or while watching live. They were not altered with photoshop or anything.

    No, not in the UI but rather the actual program itself when displayed in full view on the computer.

    I will take some snapshots tonight and include the previous cameras for reference. If I read what you're saying there shouldn't be that much difference between the 2.8 and 3.6?

    layout issues

    I've spent some time searching for layout issues hoping to find what i'm experiencing. Was able to find quite a bit of stuff regarding this topic but not quite what i was looking for. I've currently got 10 cameras, 1 of which is hidden in a group i've created. This equates to a perfect fit...

    First off in case I haven't already, a big thank you to wittaj for the writeup on cameras and bringing to light (pun intended) on how the image sensor is the key to night vision quality. Wish I would have seen this before buying a bunch of 100- 150 dollar cameras for my mom's house when i...

    CodeProject AI Server running on separate computer

    Seems like a month ago I read somewhere the GPU version of SenseAI was coming out soon. Does anyone know what the latest is on that? I gave up trying to use the gpu version of deep state stack and also gave up on trying to run the cpu version on a 2nd computer so just been in a holding pattern...

    Installed the autotracker SD49225XA-HNR a couple weeks ago. So far so good for the most part. Not getting audio for some reason. Here's my config:

    Thanks, that did the trick although it may have been working with my old settings. Reason i say this is i just realize if i click on the "group" that is just the camera the mic icon is greyed out but when i click on the "camera" then it's not greyed out. I was using the generic with...

    This is the icon i was referring to in the original manual. I asked Andy about it and he sent me a 3 page pdf on what you've described. He said the auto tracking stuff in the orig manual didn't apply. I'm using the blue iris iphone app. I have a dedicated BI windows server that i remote into...

    Back to the IPC-Color4K-X for a moment... getting audio from the camera but the mic icon on my phone for this camera is greyed out. Anyone know how to get 2 way audio working with this camera?

    Haven't installed the SD49225XA-HNR yet but have bench tested. From what i've gathered because this camera has "special" firmware that allows auto tracking, the standard method for using this feature which is to simply tell the camera to auto track anything it sees via the auto track smart plan...

    Received the 2 cameras from Andy within just a few days. Took down the Amcrest 4k with 2.8 lens & installed the IPC-Color4K-X-3.6MM yesterday for the front door. Night time images are way better as expected. The camera is mounted about 9 feet high in a corner above the front door. I bought...

    So as I said I took your advice and ordered the 1080p version of the Loryta tracker although for a few more buck could have gone with the 4MP version. Based on your recommended minimum requirements would indicate the sensor on the the 4mp version isn't big enough and therefore would get better...

    Question: My poe switch has toggle switches that turn some ports to poe+, will it hurt anything if some of the regular poe cameras are plugged into ports pushing the extra power?

    What's the deal with the firmware? Can't understand why they would eliminate one of the main functions of the camera? Assuming the firmware it comes with is rock solid presume there would be no reason to every upgrade but just sayin. I've currently got the Reolink rlc-823a which is pretty...

    After your response (thank you) I spent most of the day educating myself on various camera specs besides rez, more notably the sensor size. I have read every word of all the various links given, also talked to a buddy of mine who installs high end cameras out in Santa Barbara. In any event...

    I recently purchased a 4k monitor and when I replay a 4k camera recording I'm seeing no improvements on the 4k monitor vs a 1080p monitor. I'm running the 4k cameras at 4k and exporting video at the highest settings. If I zoom in on something with words on it, I see no difference between the 2...
