Yea, not overly happy with it at night, but it's likely the limitation of 2MP. Could be better, but could be worse. I have a lot of IR on the front of the house too.

yeah its still 2MP but depending on which lens you're looking at it can be adequate

If it were 1/1.8" 4MP they'd sell a shitload of them

Well, there's a 4K-T shining toward it but not in the direction of the boat you saw. They're well past it. Very little benefit from it I think
The streetlight at 100-120 yds is really all. But you can see thats not really adding much at that distance, its the IR doing the job

I like how they tied off the boats together but hope that engine don't overheat keeping the transaxle out of the water like that, maybe there is still enough water sucked up to the impeller but it is best to have a steady flow...
This is what I captured last night when a couple randomly decided to take a photo with my Christmas decorations. I feel my triple lens captures could be much better.
They also couldn't have stopped in a worse spot. They avoided a lot of my triggers, haha.
I have a Color4K-X from over the driveway, but it's too big to upload. It was only for reference anyways.

In BI, how do I decipher which IVS rule is which? Currently when any tripwire or intrusion box is tripped it will trigger all 3 cameras to record. This is annoying because I will have tons of alerts on some where the person never enters its FOV which just adds a bunch of erroneous clips and alerts that take up storage space and give me a red warning.

How do I know which memo field to put the name of the IVS rule in? Or do I just do it for all of the memos at the bottom?
I don't hate it, but it could be better. It's also pretty quiet here and I haven't had to pull any footage, so other than just looking at alerts every now and then, there isn't and "real world" crime footage to get an opinion from.
Same for me and mine - but it is a nice IR blaster helping out other cameras as well.
I found your instructions in the PTZ spotter thread and got it figured out. Since the IVS triggers only come in on the main/wide view, you basically treat that as the spotter for the other two views. Once I figured that out, I got it working.

I found an external IR illuminator immensely helpful
After looking at it again this morning, I had to make some changes. I ended up cloning the wide view as a spotter and using that to control all three views via the named ONVIF triggers. I was getting a bunch of 2-3 second clips on the wide view and I think it was due to how I set up the IVS triggers, and how they were being triggered within BI.
