    What does the "z5" stand for? I've been trying to decode dahua's model numbers but haven't found anything online. Wondering what the patterns and meanings are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    BI has a bunch of different alert actions, including one that is 'run an application or script', so at that point pretty much anything is possible if you use the right scripts/third party libs or are good at coding. i've never toyed with this but a quick google search returns libraries like...

    New Panoramic Cams from Dahua

    At F2.0, I wouldn't expect this to produce as good of a picture as the starlight varifocal turret that everyone loves PC-HDW5231R-Z which is F1.4. Considering I've yet to do any cams outside (did the inside first) and am planning out the outside now, I'd rather have 4 cams than a bunch of...

    WD Purple vs WD Purple NV

    I've been running 12 WD60PURX in a zfs pool setup as 6 2-disk mirror vdevs since July flawlessly. And they are all running in the same 4U supermicro chassis. If the price of each one you are looking at is really only $5 difference, then you might as well get the NV anyway.

    BI recommendsHD Graphics, i7-6700, QuickSync , Hardware Accelleration, huh?

    This intel hardware acceleration for blue iris - is that only for when the app is open and rendering on screen or if recording to disk requires transcoding right? If I have a dedicated server that is running headless and doing direct to disk (no transcoding) then having a CPU with intel HD...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    does the LRDC60S500 have any ability to capture audio? (aka microphone)? not looking for anything fancy/super high quality. just something functional. I thought 'no' initially since i didnt see it in the specs, but the link on alibaba says 'audio optional'...
