I am just coming back now after some time away. If you are happy with the footage, then go for it and keep it. The question is, how much is the security system worth if you cannot recognise someone or if it cannot be legally used to identify a criminal? A $550 system is worthless and a waste...

@locarno During my testing IVS stays operational with Smart and AI codec, but you do lose the ROI (Region of Interest) which makes sense really. ROI would rely on that region being higher quality, but Smart and AI Codec try to make it lower quality when static. AI Codec still gives the ability...

It does seem DeepStack 2022.1 has had some big changes. Firstly, it uses almost twice the disk space as the 2021.9 version. The newest Blue Iris versions work with it through the internal integration, but older versions of Blue Iris will need 2021.9. If you use the old third party integration...

To answer the OP directly. Deepstack has no support for Coral TPU at this time. There was a discussion opened on DeepStack forum that ended in a "not likely" Is coral support likely? - DeepStack Forum That said, wouldn't hurt to look deeper on DeepStack github and see if anyone had opened a...

You could setup a profile for night where it triggers on motion without needing AI confirmation. Blue Iris has several profile options. Or, if you are up to it, as @wittaj said, custom model in Deepstack. That said, I have a Dahua IPC-HDW3849 as an overview camera on roof line of the third...

I am just reading all this now and basically say screw the politicians. I've just ordered 3 Dahua TiOC and a Dahua NVR2216-i to complement my surveillance, and I am going to enjoy the SMD, IVS and all the other stuff Dahua brings to the table.

Wireless cameras may have a place in home security in areas where cables cannot be laid easily, but wireless will always be pretty bad and if you are relying on battery, what is said above is very relevant. You will miss events and that pre-trigger and post trigger recording can be important...

There are hundreds of them on YouTube. All home automation tinkerers that think they know about everything.......

Yes, I agree the CBR does give better quality, consistant quality :)

I know this is a pretty ancient thread, but if someone finds it now wanting more current information they may look like I have. Well. I havent found a definitive answer regarding the benefits of CBR vs VBR. IF you get everything working good with CBR, then switch to CBR and see if there is a...

Does anyone know if, when using the Continuous+Alert or Continuous+Trigger, if there is a way to keep the alert pointer in the recorded file when deleting the alert from the Alerts tab? When recording Alert Only or Trigger only, the alert clip was kept on disc after the Alert was removed from...

Agreed with this. My test was only one specific situation, and even then the Reolink failed badly. Unfortunately a lot get sucked into the still image quality, and I admit that I was one of them initially. That's why I have 3 Reolink cameras sitting in the cupboard. I don't even feel...

The trouble with most YouTube reviews is they compare STILL images rather than full motion. Any cheap a** camera can do a reasonable still image. Finding those good reviews that actually use full motion for comparison is difficult. I guess when you compare someone holding a sign up at 25...

I think it is a more English thing. To say something is pants is kind of like saying it's no f***ing good. :)

Well for what it is worth, Rob may have a point about the iFrame interval. I set my DH-IPC-HDW3641TMP-AS and compared it directly to a Reolink RLC-820. Set both to 20FPS, set the Dahua to iFrame interval of 40, so both had keyframe of 0.50. Also set the data rate on both to be the same. The...
