    I bet a lot of you belong to the "HVAC crapped out at the worst time" club.

    I’m guessing the outside unit is running and freezing up but the inside blower is not running? Probably blower motor as you say if so. Your blowers shouldn’t be going out that frequently. I’m guessing you are changing filters regularly? Daiken and carrier are good. But so is train so maybe you...

    Need a outside camera that will not fail.

    Why would you run power and not take the time to run fiber or cat5e/6 at the same time? Anyway, we really need the distances you need covered from the camera to the target. If it’s something under 30 feet, then the 54IR is pretty much the gold standard of excellent night time capability and...

    Unshielded CAT5 cable in EMT conduit outside?

    That is their in-house Chi brand. You can get USA made Southwire CMR Cat5e 1000' riser at Home Depot for less than half those figures: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-1-000-ft-24-4-Solid-CU-CAT5e-CMR-Riser-Data-Cable-in-Gray-56917949/202316502

    New use for my ptz...

    Pellets?!? It ain’t smoked if it isn’t in a wood or charcoal smoker. Love my Weber Smokey Mountain. ;)

    Blue Iris UI3

    I use Brave. I can access UI3 just fine on all my update-to-date BI installations. You are trying to access it all on the same subnet (LAN), right? You aren't trying to access it from over the internet?

    Forum technical problems getting bad?

    Yeah, it's super slow as of now. Was fine earlier.

    Blue Iris no longer respecting storage limits

    It’s possible you have open clips being written when you are hitting the physical storage limit of your drive. Storage cleanup and maintenance happens at certain intervals(not sure what they are) so you may be simply running out of storage BEFORE maintenance has time to perform the deletes. Im...

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    As @bp2008 said, Remote Desktop Connection is built into Windows 10 and 11 Pro and works fine. It's not going away. It's pretty basic though. I actually use Remote Desktop Manager on one computer and mRemoteNG on another. I like Remote Desktop Manger better.

    Good IP Cameras That Don't Need IR Lights

    Pretty much what @bigredfish said. If one is getting usuable video captures and no motion blurring with straight out-of-the box settings, then that manufacturer has to limiting shutter speed to a sane amount. I've yet to see ANY manufacturer do this with default settings. They know they will...

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    Turning on ROI on my 5A4M with H.264 compression, max res, 15fps, and 15 iframe my bandwidth tops out at ~15Mbps even though CBR is still set for 11776. If I turn off ROI, then bit rate falls back down to ~11Mbps which is the maximum setting for the CBR with these settings. I don't understand...

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    If you up the frame rate to 30 with an iframe of 30, using H.264 with the max resolution it enables the option to up the bitrate to ~16Mbps. Maybe worth a try. I've also never messed with the Smooth/Clear slider so I'm not sure what exactly that does.

    Hi, trying to adjust the PTZ5A4M-25X bit rate

    I do see the difference on the water ripples you are talking about. It may because you have it zoomed in so close the difference in water rippling is apparent. I don't know if I've ever seen a water shot that zoomed in. Have you tried a different compression? H.265 vs H.264?

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    The reviews for this thing went from "its great" to "it sucks" in a hurry. Does the OP @steve9380 not run LPR at night or something?
