    Discrepancy in size of one hour clips

    Hello all and thanks for any help. I have almost all of my cameras recording one hour clips. Most of them are set to different resolutions and FPS but they all seem to record one hour clips at around 900mb. Example: one camera records 20 FPS at 4MP resolution no audio and the clips are...

    iOS app constantly not connecting

    Same problem as op for me for the last couple years but on and off. Recently I haven’t had the issue for almost six months. Now it’s back. I didn’t change my router so it must be something with my ISP maybe changing addresses. I’ll have to spend more time looking at it this weekend. But it’s...

    Dahua LPR settings?

    We’re using a Dahua IPC--HFW5831E-Z5E I’m using it as an unofficial LPR in blue iris and was hoping maybe someone has some preferred night time settings to capture plates. I’ve attached a pic of my current settings and the result (which by all means serves the purpose and works) but there’s...

    Worth updating RAM?

    I currently have 16gb of ram that came with my computer (1,033 MHz I think). I’m not too savvy on that stuff but it’s run of the mill memory that came with the computer from dell. I’m wondering if (for my BI server) it makes sense to get a faster speed 16gb ram like this one: Newegg ram as...

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    Dang. Ok good info to know. I messaged the seller about upgrading. I had no idea there was a black market for these cameras. Is it all the same hardware with different clone firmware? Hmm

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    I have the resources so I’m not concerned about that. I just wanted the extra frames for personal satisfaction. It’s ok it looks like I got a little lesson on eBay auctions

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    If you look at it from a resources/cpu standpoint, you would be correct.

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    No requirement. Just a beautiful picture. I will have it set at 30 at 3mp that still looks nice. I really enjoy the smoothness of 60 FPS for overview images that don’t require Face ID /detail

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    That’s very unfortunate. I reached out for support I’ll see what happens. Are you aware of any 60fps cameras with 1/1.8” censors ?

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    eBay. There are a lot of sellers of this model and each of them list it at 1080@60 if you google search the aforementioned model there are a lot of 60 FPS mentions. But I see the official doc from dahua showing max resolution at 30. Hmm. I can contact the seller and inquire.

    IPC-HFW5442E-S - no option for 60 FPS

    Hello- I purchased these units since specs were advertised everywhere as 60 FPS @ 1080p. However, I dont see any option combination in the mainstream that surpasses 30 FPS @ 1080p. Does anyone know if there is a certain settings combination that i'm missing? thank you!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Agreed. So far really happy with its performance BI is kinda hit or miss. Sometimes the stream dies but the RCA app has been full proof. Very happy

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thank you I oversaw this part with batch tool. It appears the batch tool confirms I’m on the old version. I will play with this some more to see if I can figure that out. Thanks =)

    Hello everyone and thank you for all the knowledge sharing. I recently installed a new transformer and my RCA doorbell is finally working. I see there was a firmware upgrade and I’ve tried to do it for a couple days now. It says complete but when I reload the app it says to upgrade again. Has...

    New home owner - do I have options?

    After making an additional hole in what I believed to be an access to the attic (as previously shown in green) I may have hit another dead end. I made an eagles pilot hole and stuck a cam in there to see what I kept hitting and it looks like another 2x4 under the roof. Since I don’t really...
