    PIR sensor to trigger NVR

    I ended up mounting it about 60ft from base station on a tree along my driveway. One miss so far when I came down the driveway pretty fast on my motorcycle. A couple of false positives I think from a family of turkeys running around. I am pleased with it so far, recognizing that it is not going...

    PIR sensor to trigger NVR

    I went with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HFZUKGM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Inexpensive and good range. Has powered and unpowered output terminals on the base station for remote triggering. Still getting occasional false positives but much better. May need to...

    NVR vs BI

    I recently added BI to an existing setup with an NVR and 30 cameras. BI is much better at remote access and notification. You can also tweak the detection parameters better than with an NVR. I like the NVR better for archival storage and playback, as well as a single access point for managing...

    Wifi "baby cam" with pan tilt that works with BI

    I have a couple of those Hikvision cubes. Wifi is glitchy even if AP is in the same room. I converted them to wired. Can't go wrong with an ethernet jack in the room. Many other uses for networking and multimedia.

    PIR sensor to trigger NVR

    I am looking for reliable notification of movement in my driveway. Too many false alarms using motion and VCA detection with spiders, shadows, etc. Would like to use some wireless PIR sensors that can trigger my NVR alarm inputs. Need 200 ft range outdoor suitable. Spent a lot of time...

    wireless PIR

    Looking for a wireless PIR system I could use to trigger a camera or NVR with a basic closed circuit type output. Capability for multiple sensors would be ideal. Thanks

    Does Blue Iris utilize multiple cores/cpu's?

    Yes. Check out the threads that discuss hardware requirements for BI. Just FYI, I have an i7-6700 CPU running 22 cams average >3MP with 28% CPU utilization.

    Does Blue Iris utilize multiple cores/cpu's?

    I'm not sure the brute force of those CPU's will make up for the absence of Quicksync hardware encoding. How many cameras do you have?

    123 security

    I chatted with them a couple times my sense is they don't carry much inventory in stock, at least the Hik cameras.

    Issue with DS-9632NI-I8, black screen during playback for multiple channels

    Is this something in camera config? I did a pretty thorough search for any settings that might fix this and didn't find any.

    Issue with DS-9632NI-I8, black screen during playback for multiple channels

    I have the same NVR and similar setup. I do notice the system hang a bit while the hard drive thrashes when selecting playback. After the initial delay it is fine. I usually select one camera for playback initially and add more as needed. Occasionally it is glitchy if I select several cameras...

    Best cheap NVR for Hik cams with good iPhone/iPad support?

    It's really not that big a deal for me. The iVMS apps work fine on my iphone and iPad for remote viewing. If I need to set up a new camera I run SADP tool in a Windows VM. I do all the admin locally on the NVR. Have a second HDMI and USB cable running to my entertainment center for viewing and...

    Best cheap NVR for Hik cams with good iPhone/iPad support?

    I have found http access of live streams from my NVR is pretty much useless on a mac. The client software: iVMS lHikvision USA works ok if you don't have a lot of cameras. I have 30 cameras and on my system it chokes trying to pull live streams from all the cameras, whereas it runs fine on a Win...

    Which CPU cooler should I use?

    I just built a BI rig for about 20 cameras using i7-6700k and a basic Asus mATX MB. I picked a Cooler Master (Gemin II M4). It is a nice low profile 120mm fan. With 15 cameras (4MB each) CPU load is 27% and I don't hear the fan.

    New US Hikvision NVR firmware

    I tried it and went back to. 3.4.3. The green event line during playback was solid on all the cameras, not just the 4MP ones. If you do revert back make sure you have a config backup as it did a factory reset.

    Been using the 3MP version of this camera for a few days. Excellent service and price from Nelly's. It is my first PTZ so am taking some time getting to know the features.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 No resource on playback problem

    That's what I'm thinking. Mildly annoying but I can live with it. Hopefully once Hikvision resolves their security crisis they will address it.

    Hikvision H.265 line-up ?

    I played around with h.265 recording with my former NVR (Hik 7716). It is more CPU intensive to record and playback. Playback, especially of multiple streams, was glitchy and had ghosting artifacts. As noted above it is somewhat of an orphan codec as well. I didn't think it was worth it. Just...

    Hikvision NVR and Dahua camera

    I am considering a Dahua camera for a Hikvision NVR (9632-I8). I have had problems with the Hikvision 2X42 cameras and motion detection, and tech support has stopped responding to my emails. Looking for a 4MP fixed turret camera for inside monitoring. My question is are the analytic functions...
