    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    If the person is transparent you have too much gain and too slow a shutter. You need gain below 50 on most cameras and a shutter below 8ms, preferably 6ms. At an absolute push you can use 12ms, but I've always found it blurry in some circumstances. If you can't get a usable picture with those...

    IVS on 5442

    That bottom right camera likely won't trigger. The IVS lines are vertical rather than horizontal. You need to pay careful attention to the trigger direction when drawing IVS lines and if perps can come from more than 1 direction, draw lines in both. With vertical lines (even if not intentionally...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    For my money they're simply trying to do too much with a small sensor.

    Version 6.0.1

    Couple of querstions as I've yet to make the jump to 6.0. 1. Can you jump straight to 6.0.0.9 or do you have to install 6.0 1st? 2. Do you still need to uninstall your 5x build 1st? 3. Do you need to back up settings if uninstalling 5x and then reinstall? 4. Can you choose to use either YOLO...

    Version 6.0.1

    32GB is a gold mine. Sell the card, get rich and go intergrated graphics. There's rumours of the 5090 becoming a $5,000 card due to memory price rises. :oops::oops::oops: I'm not sure we'll see many more BI 5090 builds, it will be cheaper to le them rob your house... I didn't even put up a...

    CPU usage after upgrading to BI 6 ?

    Hardware aceleration could be your issue. It used to be the go to to use CPU decoding, but then it no longer became necessary and in some past BI builds I believe it actually started to raise resource usage. As the hardware that decodes it is your CPU architecture, it's possible it's...

    Gotta love the 1/1.8 Image Sensor

    Although the pictures look decent at night, full time colour isn't possible with the 5442 in very low light. You can see the grain / noise in both of the 1st pics which suggests you're using high gain and slow shutter to achieve it. I'd hazard a guess that if someone entered the picture moving...

    How to block my IP cameras from the internet and my local network?

    https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dual-nic-setup-on-your-blue-iris-machine.40264/ Bascially you want 2 network cards in you BI PC. Set up the cameras to have a gateway that connects to the BI pc on a network card that has an address that can't connect to your home network. BI can connect to the...

    "Around 50,000 ASUS routers have been compromised in a sophisticated attack..."

    The big problem with many routers / consumer cameras is they encourage port forwarding. You can never have network security when your camera tells you or even assists you in port forwarding to enable remote viewing. I've often thought that all routers should have a warning about using port...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I didn't know you had alien cats. At least that's how AI thinks. Very green at night! All a bit COD Spec Ops. Definite winner in the 5442. Only area the new camera wins in is it does a very good job of removing the mosquito noise but as discussed previously, it's not too hard when the picture...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    Yeah that's going to work! Modern AT weapons have 2 stage warheads to defeat reactive armour where stage 1 fires on nearing the vehicle followed by stage 2 on impact. Against a shipping container I'd imagine stage 1 will punch a hole and stage 2 will impact the armour. It's not going to be...

    new PoE doorbell? Vue Doorbell

    https://production-dmp.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/assets/LT-3116.pdf Says "Compatible with monitoring centre video verfication". I take that as meaning it's optional. Strangest spec is it's CE certified which implies EU supply but sales appear restricted to US and Canada atm by the looks...

    Just for fun: Stream your dashcam to BlueIris

    Just be careful you don't fall foul of fair usage clauses. Whilst most "unlimited" data plans are unlimited in theory. Most contain a fair usage clause whereby if you use really large amounts they either cap your usage, add additional charges or cancel your contract.

    CPU Usage

    Sounds like a memory leak in BI. Alternatively an issue in a Windows Update causing a memory leak. Try leaving it without rebooting and see if it runs out of memory and crashes or hits 100% and goes slow as it writes to disk instead. Sure sign of a memory leak. I think someone else has posted...

    Project Requirements - Harvesting High Quality Still Images from Recorded Video

    Some Pro DSLR's allow the photographer to shoot stills at the same time as video. Not quite sure how it works, whether it shoots a still in addition to the video or whether every so many video frames the frame is a still of normal DSLR quality. However, I'd say this looks like a job for a pro as...

    text overlays

    Most of use remove the factory ones and put our own back that excludes the camera model number. It helps to have some zone identifier on there for evidential purposes but it's personal preferance. You can basically put on pretty much anything you want and position it anywhere you want.

    How are we supposed to get support if their email box is full?

    Sorry to hear that. I've started taking Lutein supplements because some distant relatives have MD. It's supposed to help. Probably too late when you have it but I don't see that it can hurt (check with your MD 1st). No affiliate or recommendation...

    How are we supposed to get support if their email box is full?

    As above. Just start posting in some forums. Once you reach the minimum number of posts (usually 10 or less) the options will be open to you. I didn't know it timed out after some time Tony. I post infrequently probaly once a year, but still have permission. Maybe just frequently enough to keep...

    New Camera time?

    Won't help you with the lens because of the coating but there are specialist perspex cleaners out there for plastics. They're not very expensive and come as a mild paste that you rub on. They abrade the surface but are very gentle and don't leave marks. They're available for everything from...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Yes plus the other issue is the larger the sensor, the larger the lens required, the larger the housing etc and that equals more cost. Also, more capable sensors will probably need more capable chipsets, another expense. I believe it can be done, but it probably needs some kind of deal between...

    Version 6

    I'm thinking I may wait a while and see if they come up with an installer that put's it all on as before. Last thing I want to do is start trying to re-enter parameters because I look at the interface settings so infrequently, replicating them will be hard from memory.

    Version 6

    I was under the impression someone above had done it from within BI. In that case, maybe that method isn't figured out yet or maybe it's just going to be impossible. I guess the options are wait and see or go the separate uninstall & install route.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    The fate will be whatever Dahua want it to be. There are clearly gains in the static image from AI so some form of AI might be here to stay on cameras / I just don't think from what tech we have at the moment that AI is going to deliver miracles. As above, I believe we're still limited by...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    I don't think there's anything squirrly going on. It#s more we're asking more of the AI than it's capable of. There's no magic bullet here to picture quality. Undersatnd AI is probably just adjusting the same parameters as you could manually. The difference is it's probably pushing those...
