    Stupid question but I have to ask

    Thanks. I read this on redit. They also said over there that when the camera detects motion it sends a signal to BI to register it. I'm testing that out now. I can easily zone out the tree in the camera but I don't see where this is possible in BI.

    Stupid question but I have to ask

    Which does the motion detection, BI or the camera itself? I'm trying to solve a problem I have with motion detection. I have a tree in the camera's view that, when the wind blow, it triggers a motion event. I want to exclude the tree from the detection area but first I need to the answer to the...

    AI has a way to go

    According to AI, this is a person. If you use your imagination it sorta looks like a Teletubbie, but a person? No. Earlier in the day I walked across the yard and it flagged me as Unknown. LOL

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    I have the gray UI so it must be a S2. I also found the smart IR check box so I guess that answers my question. Thanks EDIT - I updated the firmware using the Smart IR version and now I have a much improved image. Go figure. :)

    Can't get v6 running

    BI 6 has been running perfectly for me since the initial snafu. The fix I posted above came from BI support, it fixed my problem and thus is legit beyond question. And for the record, I'm running BI on Win 11 Enterprise and it's a totally different animal from Home and Pro.

    Camera not returning to preset 1 after motion detect tracking

    Camera is PTZ425DB-AT. I DL'ed and installed AImodelpack.exe and it seems to be working but after a detect the camera remains pointed at where it stopped. In most cases this renders tracking useless. I need it to return to preset one after a detect. I can find no such setting. Any help much...

    Can't get v6 running

    The reason I didn't uninstall BI5 first is I wanted to make sure v6 worked. I didn't want to be without my cams. I still haven't uninstalled it but I will in a couple of days, having run into problems initially I still a little gun shy. I will give kudos to BI tech support, they've always been...

    Can't get v6 running

    Thanks. :) Blue Iris support got me straightened out. It seems that I forgot to stop the v5 service before running v6. After stopping it, v6 ran as it should and the 2 Dahua cams started working so all is well. blue Support didn't know what the $9.99 was for either so apparently AI strikes out...

    Can't get v6 running

    I've run into several issue and now I'm left with a program that automatically closes after a few second. Also, 2 of my Dahua cams have stopped working and I can't troubleshoot unless I can get v6 to stay running. Also, i saw no medntion of the $9.99 I need to pay according to Google AI. I've...

    Mine is outside, it can make all the noise it wants. Anybody close enough to hear it is getting their picture taken and I doubt they'll complain. Seriously, I've never heard a thing coming from mine.

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Yea, it would be great for that as it's ultra low power.

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Thanks, yea, Google AI said pretty much the same thing. said it would run but would struggle. I've decided not to use it for BI. I was dirt cheap, $40 brand new factory sealed so I'm not out much. I'll repurpose it for another use. I'm currently running BI on a Xeon E3 1270v4 and it handles BI...

    Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

    Bought this thing off eBay. It's a regular computer running an Intel J6426 (4 core 4 thread 2.00GHz, Turbo 3.00GHz) with 16GB of ram. It has 2 independent 8 port POE switches which get their own network port from the computer. I have verified that everything works (with one cam anyway). I'll...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    The camera I ordered from Amazon just arrived and it's a genuine, factory sealed Hikvision so I guess it's not too bad. I ordered this for 2 reasons, one to check out a POE NVR I just bought and 2 to use as a hallway cam. It was cheap so I'm not really expecting much. I'm sure I'll have to deal...

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    I ordered one from Amazon, Real HD is the brand. I fully expect to be disappointed. In fact, looking at the reviews, it doesn't really matter which brand I chose I'll be disappointed. :banghead:

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    If the buyer/end user doesn't have access to the products it's not a very sound business model. Such as in my case, Dahua lost the opportunity to make future sales. I'm sure I'm not the only one. as for what their intent is, I couldn't care less.

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    Looks like it's time for me to abandon Dahua and go with another brand. It makes no sense to me that a company would pick and chose who it sells it's products to, especially when it chooses to eliminate to majority of the buying public. But what do I know. :rolleyes: Goodbye Dahua.

    Did Dahua go out of business?

    Other than a couple EmpireTech cams on Amazon I haven't been able to find any that aren't so stupidly priced that I can't see anybody buying them ($2699.99 for a 5mp dome cam? Gimmie a break). There are none on eBay. All the others are found are grossly over priced and being sold by "Dealers"...
