    IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3?

    Lol ty, the 20 on my parent's property are almost all exclusively for animal detection too. I've come a long way since the my initial layout: Suggestions for a "trail cam" camera system? (Which actually only started with three cameras lol)

    Blue Iris UI3

    Just to clarify, I'm looking to be able to access this type of image from the Ctrl+Left Click on a BI alert: Is that possible from UI3? If not it would be a very helpful addition. My mom only really uses the the web viewer and only logs into team viewer if she's interested in finding what the...

    IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3?

    Pretty far, I ended up pulling the trigger on the Z4E. And lol these are cameras 19 and 20 on the property (And 24 and 25 I've got overall), I got it! Thank you for making sure though. Actually, after the first three I got were varifocal, I have really only exclusively gone with the 6mm ones...

    IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3?

    I'm in the market for a new long range bullet camera. Is the only difference between these two models the the ZE has 2.7mm-12mm varifocal zoom and the Z4E has 8mm to 32mm zoom? They both can do smart animal detection? Ty

    Blue Iris UI3

    Is there a way to check the AI detection box from UI3? I.E. Ctrl+left click on a confirmed alert in regular BI app? Thank you

    Blue Iris UI3

    Lol yeah me neither, I haven't dug too deep but think I hit all the most likely causes. I also don't know when it first started happening because I haven't checked the cameras regularly in 6 months

    Blue Iris UI3

    I'm having trouble getting ui3 to load on my remote computer via wireguard. I can ping the BI ip address via the tunnel successfully. It loads properly on my phone with the same wireguard tunnel. On the computer though, it just shows a blank page and spinning icon. It's same issue in Chrome...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    For anyone wondering in the future, I was able to get around this by putting the NVR into bridge mode and bringing the cameras directly on to my network. Fortunately, they are still isolated from the internet and rest of my LAN using a VLAN on my unifi network.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    I'm trying to use this utility with five T5442T-ZE connected to a new NVR (NVR8CH-8P-2AI). The NVR's ip is 192.168.76.2. Clicking through the settings to Add a Device, I see the cameras on the NVR's internal LAN are have 10.1.1.X IPs, which I obviously I can't access. But, if you access them via...

    Alternatives to Dahua (NVR) web plug-in?

    I feel weird installing Dahua's web plug-in on Windows (and idk if it's even available for Android Chrome) or using the DMSS app after attempting to keep the cameras off the internet. Are there any more reputable or open source alternatives? Thanks

    S3 animal detection

    Hi, so reading through the entire thread it sounds like different people have success with different settings? A few questions? 1. AcuPick on or off? If off, only IVS on? 2. IVS sensitivity? Default 5 or something higher? 10? 3. Long Distance Mode on or off? If on**, it looks like the...

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    I haven't gotten to this yet. I just started installing my Dahua cameras and Dahua NVR. I also ended up investing in an entire Unifi network which I think opens up some options with VLANs and network configurability. Now, I'm slightly less concerned about being able to block devices calling...

    @EMPIRETECANDY Is the NVR8CH-8P-2AI compatible with the latest AI (specifically animal detection) features of the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 camera? Ty

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    Ty for the video, nice to get an idea of what to expect. Yeah, I'll probably try to think of something (VLAN, etc.). But I think I only ran a single cat 6 to my computer from this network closet making it unlikely I'll be able connect it to a 2nd (air gapped) NIC. I'll will always be concerned...

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    Interesting, I didn't even realize there was a local HDMI/mouse interface. Especially not one that would be different than the web UI. I was expecting to view everything over the network. I also didn't realize the NVR would include POE until reading the last few days either though... I'll...

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    So reading a little further, it does sound like my best bet is to stick with a Dahua NVR for compatibility with Dahua cameras. Am I going to hate the Dahua NVR UI/viewing capability? Any suggestions on a particular model NVR from Dahua?

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    Thanks for all the suggestions.. I might be going with a Reolink. I ran cat6 for 5 security cameras while the house was under construction but didn't wire cat6 to the doorbell so I like that Reolink has a wifi option.

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    This is for a different network of cameras than our main 16, with a significantly more limited appeal and usefulness (more of a luxury than necessity). If I can get a BI PC Raspberry Pi or something with the size and efficiency of an NVR I would do that. Otherwise, I'm trying to avoid building...

    Doorbell camera with phone app and no subscription?

    Are there any good options that have the convenience and simplicity of a Ring doorbell but without the annual subscription? And preferably with as good of privacy features as can be hoped for given the product? Or should I just give in and get a Ring? I have Dahua doorbell cam but without...

    Looking for an NVR to work with 5-6 cameras?

    Is there anything special to consider when purchasing an NVR? It's going to be used with Dahua T5442T cameras, so I'm guessing sticking with Dahua helps with compatibility. I see a several options on Andy's website. Do I (/should I) still use BI or does it have it's own interface? As I write...

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

    Hey, just want to confirm this camera replaced the T5442T-ZE? Great news about animal detection coming back! I was only in the market for like 4 more cameras...now I might be in the market for like 13 cameras! (to replace all my T5442TM-AS - 6mm's)

    Blue Iris UI3

    In the full Blue Iris app, you can right click a cancelled alert and Confirm Alert and the alert moves to the Confirmed Alerts list. In UI3, you can right click alerts and Mark as AI-Confirmed but all that appears to do is give the alert a checkmark? It doesn't move the alert to the Confirmed...

    Assuring that your 'Protected' Alerts survive a Database/Regenerate action

    Hi, this tool has been great. As an update to this script, rather than creating dummy yellow jpgs, couldn't you extract the AI confirmed jpg like you do in your other script? The resolution wouldn't be good but probably still pretty clear as a small thumbnail.

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    I just never realized it was an issue lol. I figured the alerts were small and it was convenient having BI manage them so they were easily retrievable (The most intersting alerts are exported to youtube though). We have 16 cameras, almost exclusivey dedicated to wildlife, with near nightly...

    How do protected alerts affect BVR files?

    I guess the system isn't really designed to keep 4,000 alerts protected lol. It sounds like eventually the entire NEW/STORED drive could be filled with protected BVR until there's no option to manage/delete them.
