    Which camera is better

    I see them priced at $599 and $1299 respectively. The $1299. CZ825x is similar to the EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight IR 5.4mm–135mm Vari-Focal PTZ Camera which sells for $750.49 I have no experience with the dual lens cameras. Which Hikvision PTZ do you have now or had...

    Identify the camera system by the noise

    All I hear is a mic picking up normal background noises with a vehicle near the end.

    Are there any Blue Iris (version 6) tutorial videos out there?

    The only major difference between v5 and v6 that I have seen is the built in AI which is still work in progress and is covered quite well by Bruce_H and several other great participants on the forums.

    Looking for a decent PTZ for indoor. $300ish or less.

    FlipNJ , how much zoom do you need and is IR required. I have some older Dahua cameras similar to those that Chase mentioned. Are you looking for wifi or Poe?

    Welcome back! My mind cannot comprehend why the hell he is doing that but is obvious that those tiny twigs are not wanted close to his masterpiece.

    Hall of shame

    No holes needed when running ethernet cable. Also works on extension cords but may have to slam door a little harder to latch.

    Mount for T54IR-ZE-S3

    These may work fine but they are plastic whereas Andy's empiretech are aluminum. OOPS! TonyR beat me to it.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    The Revotech did not perform well for me. did not get good focus at 10-12 feet under artificial lighting. Their stated 22mm zoom is lacking also. Did not zoom much over an old Dahua 2.7-12mm that I compared it to.

    Looking for 10x optical zoom as cheap as possible

    I have one of those particular Revotech cameras that I have yet to place in service but use several of their other fisheye and pinhole varieties. This one does not have IR and has manual zoom and focus which is not a problem, If you tell me the distance from camera to gauges, I will set it up...

    Hey mon, nice dreads but how rude!

    I can't believe they didn't use a bag or box.

    APC backup power supply questions…

    I use small UPS units similar TonyR's APC BE600M1 on tons of toys. All are single battery units. In my rural area, blips in the power are too common so they keep my PC's, Poe switches, routers, ISP gateways, TV's etc safely powered without interruption. I do not have a whole home generator but...

    Camera Options...Help Me Find A Camera

    I am a fan of the Revotech's and have 5 in my current Blueiris setup. That pinhole only needs about a 3/16 inch hole but the tip of the lens needs to be flush with the exterior of the wall. Some come with an exterior microphone that works very well. Note that they do not have IR.

    Hello all

    Welcome as this is the place to be as there are soooo many smart folks here from around the world who are willing to help. Your choice to purchase from EmpireTech was a wise decision.

    Version 6

    I have absolutely no problems on Win 10 Pro version 20H2 on an I7-4790, 16 Gig ram and 34 cameras but I only play with AI on 2 or 3 cameras at a time.

    Can't record over 5 days

    Why not assign the amount of your drive that you wish to use and uncheck the "Limit clip age" box The example attached allocates 8 TB which is 80% of my 10 TB drive. Select DELETE as there is no need to move to another location.

    Use the camera OS or Blue Iris for setting up cameras?

    I agree with wittaj but I do a lot of PTZ presets thru BI.

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    I think you may have gotten the last one of that particular camera. Note that the link from my search shows it with a black face and it has info explaining how to set up auto tracking. amazon/funxwe now shows a link to one with a white face but no info on settings and the link to my cheaper one...

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    They (funxwe AKA wind and snow) have one listed on scamazon with similar specs for $119.99. Out of boredom I ordered one to play with. Will let you guys know how the toy performs. From the reviews on their other products, they need protection from rain.

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    I'm sure it will not function as well as a Dahua or Empire Tech but have played with some of these cheaper ones. For $139. I would experiment. Though it says it has 30x zoom, they frequently fall short. Some will have 20x optical and say +10x digital which is really meaningless. They fail to...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    Here is a quick video where I will disable a camera then reenable it. Sometimes the cursor did not show properly. All of the pop out menus were from right clicks. Note that you have to get out of the "Edit Layout" screen before selecting a camera to enable. The video did not show my mouse moving...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    Once you click it then right click and uncheck the option to hide disabled cameras. The disabled cams will show on your screen with the active cameras but then you have to click the edit layout again to continue normal operations and remove the cameras numbering from the screen. Then you may...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    BI 6.0 runaway photos on 1 of 5 cameras.

    I am finding here lately that when upgrading BI that it is corrupting some camera settings. I am experimenting with the built in AI on some cameras and after my last update to 6.0.1.9 I found that it enabled AI on some cameras that I know I did not do. I have also found that "find/inspect" was...
