    Motion sensors on Sub stream profiles

    I moved a lot of my cameras over to sub profiles for a lot of things within BI, to decrease CPU use. I realize by doing this that motion sense also uses the sub profile and the resolution is thus lower. However, even setting my cameras motion sensors to min object size, it still seems they...

    Mounting Bullet cameras to metal soffits

    Oh, this is a good idea actually. I could remove the current soffit piece which is about 2 feet wide, and replace it with a stronger aluminum piece. Happen to have a photo?

    Mounting Bullet cameras to metal soffits

    I just bought my first ever bullet camera and its a beast. Im replacing some turret cameras I have, that are mounted to the soffits. Im not sure the soffit can really support the weight of this new bullet camera. What recommendations do you have on how to handle bullet cam mounting to...

    Thoughts on dome cameras outside?

    Thank you so much. Its often hard to find good comparison images. 27mm at 95ft is plenty good for me. Good to know.

    Thoughts on dome cameras outside?

    Just when I feel like I know what I want/need, I find out something else. This seems impossible, lol.

    Thoughts on dome cameras outside?

    Interesting. Its DORI says Identify at 131ft. Ugh. I still have so much to learn.

    Thoughts on dome cameras outside?

    I would like to stay with turrets, and I will be going mostly turrets, but that camera I linked is hard to find any comparison to in turret or bullet form. I need at least 16mm+ to see identify the road which is 90-100 feet away.

    Thoughts on dome cameras outside?

    Ive been looking at purchasing some new cameras, since mine are all about 5-8 years old. I've picked out a few, but some of them are dome cameras. Throughout reading the forums here, Ive seen a lot of people say they dont prefer or recommend dome cameras for outside use. What are your...

    "Best" Current Recommended Cameras

    Thanks, good to know for my side yards. I think with my garage LED lights, I should have enough ambient light out front. Not to mention 8 months out of the year are covered in snow.

    I think I've settled on a mix of these: 1/1.2" Bullet https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/ds-2cd2087g2-l-u-/ 1/1.8" Turret https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/ds-2cd2347g2-l-u-/ Thoughts, and...

    "Best" Current Recommended Cameras

    Thanks thats good to know. BI is a must. It runs everything for me, is a fine tuned machine after years of use, and Im getting into playing with AI Tensorflow integration. I also have it all hooked in to Home Assistance for triggers and what not. It would appear people on here really lean...

    "Best" Current Recommended Cameras

    Follow up question. I see many of you recommend bullet cameras. Why do you recommend them over dome/turret? Minnesota shout out ;)

    "Best" Current Recommended Cameras

    Thank you both for your detailed information and suggestions. Thank you for the sensor size vs. resolution information. Absolutely not, do my cameras come close to that. I by no means have enough experience to say Im right or wrong about anything, thats why Im here. I can only state what...

    "Best" Current Recommended Cameras

    Thanks for the information and suggestions. Im not super focused on megapixel and resolution, mostly because I tend to care less about video and more about individual images that are taken during alerts. Correct me if Im wrong though, but I should be able to get higher resolution images with a...

    "Best" Current Recommended Cameras

    Firstly, I checked the first 1-3 pages for similar posts so I apologize if I missed something. I know that "best this for that" posts are always such a cliche. I am looking at upgrading my external cameras. I would like to stick with turret or dome cameras. I feel I get better results with...

    Anyone ever seen Blue Iris cause massive ping spikes?

    They did seem to go hand in hand. Not entirely sure what happened and not sure I want to dig through all my network logs.

    Anyone ever seen Blue Iris cause massive ping spikes?

    Woke up this morning, tried to log into the html viewer for BI, its extremely slow and intermittent. I start a ping test to my BI server and see: Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32 time=983ms TTL=128 Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32 time=960ms TTL=128 Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32...

    How can I debug I/O errors?

    The issue started again after about an hour and continued on with 100+ signal losses every hour. I was able to resolve this myself. The issue was related to a new setting in Hikvision Firmware: H.264+ was set to True. Apparently BI has some issues with this setting. As soon as I set it to...

    How can I debug I/O errors?

    Im less concerned about the timeline. That just seems to be maybe some sort of caching or disk reading issue. It fixes itself. But the underlying issue is still the IO Error O's from the cameras that have been working for years with no connection loss. I'll try downgrading back to 5.2.4.x...

    This has happened in the previous update, as well as my current: 5.2.5.3 I see another new version, worth a try?

    How can I debug I/O errors?

    I also notice when this happens, that the display bars stop updating. Even though some of that data is there, they just keep on showing no activity unless I reboot BI. Then it fills in the missing chunks, even though the video doesnt exist for a few seconds or minutes. BEFORE: AFTER BI...

    How can I debug I/O errors?

    I have had BI running with my same Hikvision cameras, going on 3-4 years or more. I've never really had an issue with them until recently. Now, I keep getting I/O errors on both cameras. Sometimes its for 2 seconds, other times its as long as 20-30 minutes. During this time, I am able to...

    IR - PTZ stopped working since last update

    Other fix. I had to change the HTTP port in my cameras settings, after a FW update. I changed it to one port, then changed it back to port 80. After that, BI was able to do PTZ over HTTP again. Who knows..

    IR - PTZ stopped working since last update

    Fix to this is to go into Hikvision UI, go to Network > Advanced > Network Service and enable Enable Enhanced SDK Service. Then in BI -> Camera Properties -> PTZ Control -> change port to 8443 (without the colon you are used to in front of it), then enable HTTPS. You'll now have full PTZ...

    IR - PTZ stopped working since last update

    I just updated to latest: 5.2.3.2 build and ever since I did, I can no longer control IR with PTZ. Everything else works with PTZ control except IR. Any ideas on how to fix this?
