    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I mean the spikes in the GPU 0 graph in image D. Especially the third spike is far too wide. That is the typical “table mountain” shape you see when the GPU is hitting a limit. The spikes should normally be much sharper and shorter. Also, 39% utilization while basically idle is already quite...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    Image “D” looks like a GPU bottleneck to me. My 2080 Ti already has enough work to do with CodeProject.AI. It definitely does not like doing hardware decoding for the cameras or the web server at the same time. Maybe this is different with the RTX 4000 Ada, but I would try disabling that for...

    Recommendations for small Chicken coop camera for Blue Iris

    I’ve been using one of the flat Dahua fisheye cameras for years — I originally got it pretty cheap on AliExpress: IPC-EW4431-ASW. Andy’s shop sells the current version of it here: EmpireTech IPC-FE541-AS The flat, smooth design is great because the chickens can’t injure themselves on it.

    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    When I see these systems, I always remember this: War declared on world's growing e-waste crisis and so far it's not part of any TCO calculation. All computers can and should be produced to be upgradable.

    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    That's true but these kind of proprietary systems can't be upgraded for future use and produce waste for no reason. Dell could easily produce these systems following microATX or mini-ITX standard. For OS, you can still reuse your Windows 7 or 8 license: You Can Still Get Windows 10 for Free With...

    Good sale for BlueIris machines Dell Vostros with an i5-10400 and Windows 10 Pro

    Don't support non-standard computer parts with your money. I own ATX tower cases older than 15 years. I've bought them second hand. They've seen many processor generations and mainboards and are still in good shape, ready for 11th Intel generation or AMD Zen 3. Building your own computer from...

    Maybe a too complex password, compare settings: Network --> Access Platform -> ONVIF -> Authentification = "On" System --> Account -> Onvif User --> check user & pass System --> Safety -> System Service -> ONVIF = "Enable"

    Recommendations for IR-triggered POE trail cameras?

    BI is easy to use, comes with great UI3 web gui but like every VMS it has tons of options, so studying manual and this forum is a must. Your HP server is too weak to run it, maybe two cameras but it's not future-proof for more. The VMS itself can't do AI based motion detection and all cameras...

    Recommendations for IR-triggered POE trail cameras?

    You don't need a PIR sensor, you need a VMS like Blue Iris to record 24/7 (to catch everything and/or to combine motion detection of cameras and VMS to catch most, also allows to combine alerting e.g. motion on cam A also triggers recording on cam B) and you need better cams like Dahua's 5442...

    Change BI Web Grid Layout?

    You'll not get the same view in UI3, maybe @bp2008 (developer of UI3) can change this someday. About frame size, BI manual says: "By default, the group will be viewable via remote browser or app and its cameras will be arranged to fit into a rectangle roughly sizing each camera in half. You may...

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    There is DS-2CD2H86G2-IZS but no Dahua, right.

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    1/2.8" and 8MP will never be "Starlight", it's more for daylight. ;)

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    No spec sheet but must be a OEM IPC-HDW3841T-ZAS, because of: 3840 × 2160 @(1–20 fps by default) 3840 × 2160 @(1–25/30 fps when AI function disabled) Upgrade for 5231 is 5442.

    no, 1/2.8"@4MP will not work well in low light conditions, consider 5A425XA-HNR. Data sheets not always show reality and sometimes they simply have errors.

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    1831E/2831T-ZAS SOC wasn't a high-flyer: "...very often there is lost video for a second or 3 at time of motion detection. quite annoying." IPC-HFW1831E broken image It's Dahua's own SOC (processor=DH7200), developed for their car project. Now they use Hisilicon SOCs and I guess they are more...

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    Larger sensor needs a better lens = higher costs, higher resolution needs better SOC = higher costs. Any other manufacturer that gives away a 1/1.8" sensor 4MP cam for $150? From Axis you'll get the junction box and a (short) network cable for this price. What do we expect? $50 4k@60fps galaxy...
