    89% CPU 500+GB mem in use

    This started happening... eh.... December when I was still on 5.9'ish version. Upgraded to 6.0 versions, problem remains unchanged. Just now am upgrading to latest/greatest available. AI channels set to 4 max. Nothing else much has changed in the last 4 years. Did add in Blue Iris Tools to...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    I have been super distracted in last 6 months to keep up to date of Dahua do's and dont's... but I'll keep buying from Andy directly or from his Amazon store. Until (if ever) that ship sails. Then alternatives will have to be found. Have sold 5 or 6 Dahua NVR's in the last year with T54...

    Opinions for Colour Night Vision Camera in areas of good street lighting.

    For the critical "i want images for court", I use Dahua 5442's (older generation) and T54's (new generation). These cameras have parameters for video, fine-tuned (not default). Various focal lengths from 3.6mm, 6mm, and varifocal, depending on their height, angle, and what spatial x,y,z grid I...

    Opinions for Colour Night Vision Camera in areas of good street lighting.

    One piece of the camera selection pie that I tell anyone who listens as I know from direct experience... Do you want a security camera to capture someone who looks like Elvis or Bigfoot, to show to the judge in a court of law? Or do you want a security camera that does it's best to capture...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    In my opinion, even if the Dahua cameras get jacked up in price to even the same as Ubiquiti....I am still buying Dahua.

    Tired of doorcams, what normal camera can I use ?

    I have 2 of these 3' tall fake boulders. (Auction for $10 each). I do plan on putting my LPR camera into 1 and a 5442/T54 into the other. Is why I ran 4 x Cat6 to my lamp post :) Granted...2 years in the making! My Tire Slasher event + purchase of my company really has put a damper on my...

    Cables for less Experiance?

    If your purchase this... please show pictures of the copper. I am HIGHLY skeptical about any Cat6A 1000' cable box for $125. Cost alone would be near $200'ish. I wonder if bait & switch. 1000 feet? Oh...typo... they meant 100' ! Or it's actually Cat6e, or regular Cat6. Or...it's actually...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I can only speak of myself, but I have an Ambient Weather Station WS-2902. I did not originally purchase it to be included into Blue Iris. It had other purposes back then. 1.) rain meter for my RainMachine irrigation system 2.) LUX meter to determine if the sun way up or down 3.) landscape...

    Yale alarm alerts?

    any smartphone alerts via app would have to come through the cloud in regards to iPhone and Android push notification servers. If the alarm box locally had the ability to send email / text message... depends if they allow 3rd party or once again, proprietary Yale servers to handle it all...

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    Constructions Site #1 / Pole #1 has it's own ISP internet service from Construction Site #1 / Pole #2 ? If so, yes... can do Ubiquiti Ultra routers that do 4 port POE. If Pole #1 and Pole #2 share same ISP, you list 5 cameras but the Ultra router only has 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports. Hence, the...

    Camera Location by Garage

    I installed 2 x 5442 cameras underneath my left & right coach lights at 5' level. I was concerned about the glare from the lights. But have had no problems.

    A Healthy Competitor? - G6 Pro Turret

    Not impressed. Where both of these cameras set to default values? Or were there adjustments made? Something is amiss to be looking THAT bad with a 1/1.2" sensor. Well...not horrible ewww bad but for a $500 camera...bawd. Why is the gate itself looking so dark on the G6? Why can't even see...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    $2,000.00 for a 16 channel NVR? $300-$500 for IP cameras? I don't know what this HighWire gear is... maybe I don't want to know :) But Dahua:

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    Ewww....the evil memory. We just gave up buying these type of fiber for business purposes. Besides, most clients was 6 or 12 strand, not 2. Usually end up simply getting indoor/outdoor fiber or Armored (similar to flex electrical conduit). Granted, the price is 2x or even 4x higher than what...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    I looked myself :) I think the previous owner of my company tried this exact brand out. Anyone in the future, be very wary. Looks great on paper. However, the stainless-steel tube came undone making sharp fiber cutting spaghetti in the conduit, and we had to start all over with something else.

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    Just curious. These amazon fibers. What would they run for... 800' with singlemode? Would it just be 2 strands? 6? 12?

    Multiple Remote Location IPCams Setup

    I'd install Ubiquiti Unifi gateway modems (Cloud Gateway Ultra) at each location with the Ubiquiti flex mini's, use the built in Unifi VPN to your Ubiquiti Unifi gateway modem at your shop. For ease of use. And ease of future use elsewhere. Of course, would have to have the Inseego FX4100...

    Todays venture with my 4 year messed up VTO/VTH config

    A number of years ago, I purchased the VTO/VTH combo package from @EMPIRETECANDY Andy as a cool toy. This is a Villa Intercom station & display, NOT a doorbell unit: VTO 2202F-P (P=POE hardwired, not WiFi) and the VTH model 2421F-P (hardwired, not WiFi) The VTO is what sits outside by the front...

    Copying "overlays" from 1 camera to all

    Duh... hahahahaha... I'm old :) Ok.. has been a number of years since originally setting up individual cameras. Different "styles" for configuration based on what I was learning on the go, while leaving some older configurations alone in the dust forgotten about. On 4 cameras, I had the...

    Copying "overlays" from 1 camera to all

    Always wanted to get temp, wind, rain etc on all my camera displays but just never had the time to fiddle with BIT, Weather Underground, and Blue Iris Overlays. Now, I have time to fiddle! I do have my own weather station. Following the help file from BIT, created a Weather Underground account...

    Empiretech camera died, Troubleshooting tips? Determine model number?

    check the brass pins in the RJ45 connector. Odds are, if any outdoor IP camera magically dies without getting any link like when directly plugged into a POE switch, odds are the pins shorted out which could fry the camera. Any outdoor camera, I add di-electric grease to. A little $10 safety...
